A billiard ball of mass m moving with speed v1=1 m/s collides head-on with a second ball of mass 2m which is at rest. What is th

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The velocity of mass 2m is $v_B = 0.67 m/s$

Explanation:

From the question w are told that

The mass of the billiard ball A is =m

The initial speed of the billiard ball A = $v_1$ =1 m/s

The mass of the billiard ball B is = 2 m

The initial speed of the billiard ball B = 0

Let the final speed of the billiard ball A = $v_A$

Let The finial speed of the billiard ball B = $v_B$

According to the law of conservation of Energy

$\frac{1}{2} m (v_1)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (0) ^ 2 = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2$

Substituting values

$\frac{1}{2} m (1)^2 = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2$

Multiplying through by $\frac{1}{2}m$

$1 =v_A^2 + 2 v_B ^2 ---(1)$

According to the law of conservation of Momentum

$mv_1 + 2m(0) = mv_A + 2m v_B$

Substituting values

$m(1) = mv_A + 2mv_B$

Multiplying through by $m$

$1 = v_A + 2v_B ---(2)$

making $v_A$ subject of the equation 2

$v_A = 1 - 2v_B$

Substituting this into equation 1

$(1 -2v_B)^2 + 2v_B^2 = 1$

$1 - 4v_B + 4v_B^2 + 2v_B^2 =1$

$6v_B^2 -4v_B +1 =1$

$6v_B^2 -4v_B =0$

Multiplying through by $\frac{1}{v_B}$

$6v_B -4 = 0$

$v_B = \frac{4}{6}$

$v_B = 0.67 m/s$

A "spherical capacitor" is constructed of two thin, concentric spherical shells of conducting material. Let a be the radius of t

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

$C=\frac{ab}{k(b-a)}$

Explanation:

We can assume this problem as two concentric spherical metals with opposite charges.

We have also to take into account the formulas for the electric field and the capacitance. Hence we have

$C=\frac{Q}{V}\\\\E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}\\$

Where k is the Coulomb's constant. Furthermore, by taking into account the expression for the potential and by integrating

$dV=Edr\\\\V=\int_{R_1}^{R_2}Edr=-\int_{R_1}^{R_2}\frac{kQ}{r^2}dr\\\\V=kQ[\frac{1}{R_2}-\frac{1}{R_1}]$

Hence, the capacitance is

$C=\frac{1}{k[\frac{1}{R_2}-\frac{1}{R_1}]}$

but R1=a and R2=b

$C=\frac{ab}{k(b-a)}$

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

What is your rate in miles/hour if you tun at a speed of 2.2 miles in 20 minutes

nata0808 [166]

You need to convert minutes to hours so
$\frac{2.2 mi}{20 min} x \frac{60 min}{1 hr} = \frac{6.6 mi}{1 hr}$
