An apple with mass 0.4 kg is hanging at rest from the lower end of a light vertical rope. A dart of mass 0.1 kg is shot vertical

ly upward, strikes the bottom of the apple, and remains embedded in it. a) If the speed of the dart is 5m/just before it strikes the apple, what is the speed of the apple just after the collision

Answer:

The speed of the apple just after the collision is 1m/s

Explanation:

Since the two bodies collided, we will apply the law of conservation of momentum to find their common velocity which states that the sum of momentum of the bodies before collision is equal to the sum of momentum of the bodies after collision. After collision both bodies will move with a common velocity v.

Given momentum = mass × velocity

Initial momentum of the 0.4kg apple hanging at rest will be;

Momentum = 0.4kg×0m/s = 0kgm/s (the velocity of apple is 0m/s since it is hanging at rest)

Initial momentum of the 0.1kg dart moving with speed of 5m/s will be;

Momentum of dart = 0.1kg × 5m/s

Momentum of dart = 0.5kgm/s

Momentum of the bodies after collision will give;

Momentum after collision = (0.4kg+0.1kg) × v (v is their common velocity)

Momentum after collision = 0.5v

Using the law of conservation of momentum to calculate their common velocity, we will have;

0+0.5 = 0.5v

0.5 = 0.5v

v = 0.5/0.5

v = 1m/s

Therefore the speed of both bodies after collision is 1m/s which will also serve as the speed of the apple after collision.

Answer:

1 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

Note: Since it is an inelastic collision, the both moves with a common velocity

mu+m'u' = V(m+m')......................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the apple, m' = mass of the dart, u = initial velocity of the apple, u' = initial velocity of the dart, V = common velocity.

Make V the subject of the equation

V = (mu+m'u')/(m+m')..................... Equation 2

Given: m = 0.4 kg, m' = 0.1 kg, u = 0 m/s (at rest), u' = 5 m/s

Substitute into equation 2

V = (0.4×0+0.1×5)/(0.4+0.1)

V = (0+0.5)/0.5

V = 0.5/0.5

V = 1 m/s.

Hence the speed of the apple after collision = 1 m/s

M (b) Calculate the speed of an electron that is accelerated through the same electric potential difference.
MaRussiya [10]

The speed of a electron that is accelerated from rest through an electric potential difference of 120 V  is 6.49\times10^6m/s

<h3>How to calculate the speed of the electron?</h3>

We know, that the  energy of the system is always conserved.

Using the Law of Conservation of energy,

\triangle K+\triangle U=0

Here, K is the kinetic energy and U is the potential energy.

Now, substituting the formula of U and K, we get:

(\frac{1}{2} mv^2)+(-q\triangle V) =0------(1)

Here,

m is the mass of the electron

v is the speed of the electron

q is the charge on the electron

V is the potential difference

Let v_f and v_i represent the final and initial speed.

Here, v_i =0

Solving for v_f, we get:

v_f=\sqrt{\frac{-2q\triangle V}{m} }

=\sqrt{\frac{2\times1.602\times10^{-19}\times 120}{9.109\times10^{-31}} }

=6.49\times10^6m/s

What kind of fluctuations in weather patterns do you expect to see in your area? Will the fluctuations or changes vary by month,
balandron [24]
Prevailing definitions of climate are not much different from “the climate is what you expect, the weather is what you get”. Using a variety of sources including reanalyses and paleo data, and aided by notions and analysis techniques from Nonlinear Geophysics, we argue that this dictum is fundamentally wrong. <span>In addition to the weather and climate, there is a qualitatively distinct intermediate regime extending over a factor of ≈ 1000 in scale.Climate changes is projected to affect individual organisms, populations, ... Overall, there is a strong correlation between topographic slope and velocity from ... the ecosystems they live in—will adapt to these changes, or if they even can.</span>
