A hockey puck moving at 0.4600 m/s collides with another puck that was at rest. The pucks have equal mass. The first puck is def
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Speed =0.283m/ s

Direction = 47.86°

Explanation:

Since it is a two dimensional momentum question with pucks having the same mass, we derive the momentum in xy plane

MU1 =MU2cos38 + MV2cos y ...x plane

0 = MU2sin38 - MV2sin y .....y plane

Where M= mass of puck, U1 = initial velocity of puck 1=0.46, U2 = final velocity of puck 1 =0.34, V2 = final velocity of puck 2, y= angular direction of puck2

Substitute into equation above

.46 = .34cos38 + V2cos y ...equ1

.34sin38 = V2sin y...equ2

.19=V2cos Y...x

.21=V2sin Y ...y

From x

V2 =0.19/cost

Sub V2 into y

0.21 = 0.19(Sin y/cos y)

1.1052 = tan y

y = 47.86°

Sub Y in to x plane equ

.19 = V2 cos 47.86°

V2=0.283m/s

An electron is constrained to the central perpendicular axis of a ring of charge of radius 2.2 m and charge 0.021 mC. Suppose th
igomit [66]

Answer:

T = 1.12 10⁻⁷ s

Explanation:

This exercise must be solved in parts. Let's start looking for the electric field in the axis of the ring.

All the charge dq is at a distance r

           dE = k dq / r²

Due to the symmetry of the ring, the field perpendicular to the axis is canceled, leaving only the field in the direction of the axis, if we use trigonometry

            cos θ =\frac{dE_x}{dE}

             dEₓ = dE cos θ

              cos θ = x / r

substituting

                dEₓ = k \frac{dq}{r^2 } \ \frac{x}{r}

                DEₓ = k dq x / r³

let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance r

             r² = x² + a²

where a is the radius of the ring

we substitute

              dEₓ = k \frac{x}{(x^2 + a^2 ) ^{3/2} } \ dq

we integrate

               ∫ dEₓ =k \frac{x}{(x^2 + a^2 ) ^{3/2} }  ∫ dq

               Eₓ = k \ Q \ \frac{x}{(x^2+a^2)^{3/2}}

In the exercise indicate that the electron is very central to the center of the ring

                x << a

                Eₓ = k \ Q \frac{x}{a^3 \ ( 1 +(x/a)^2)^{3/2})}

if we expand in a series

                  (\ 1+ (x/a)^2 \  )^{-3/2} = 1 - \frac{3}{2} (\frac{x}{a} )^2

we keep the first term if x<<a

                 Eₓ = \frac{ k Q}{a^3} \ x

the force is

                 F = q E

                 F = - \frac{kQ  }{a^3} \ x

this is a restoring force proportional to the displacement so the movement is simple harmonic,

                 F = m a

                 - \frac{keQ}{a^3} \x = m \frac{d^2 x}{dt^2 }

                 \frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} = \frac{keQ}{ma^3}  \ x

the solution is of type

                  x = A cos (wt + Ф)

with angular velocity

                w² = \frac{keQ}{m a^3}

angular velocity and period are related

                 w = 2π/ T

             

we substitute

               4π² / T² = \frac{keQ}{m a^3}

                T = 2π  \sqrt{\frac{m a^3 }{keQ} }

let's calculate

                T = 2π \sqrt{ \frac{ 9.1 \ 10^{-31} \ 2.2^3 }{9 \ 10^9 \ 1.6 \ 10^{-19}  \ 0.021  \ 10^{-3} }  }

                 T = 2π pi \sqrt{320.426 \ 10^{-18} }

                 T = 2π  17.9 10⁻⁹ s

                 T = 1.12 10⁻⁷ s

The total lifetime of the Sun is about 10 billion years, from when it was born to when it dies, and the half-life of 238U is 4.5
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

a little less than 6 micrograms

Explanation:

The half-life of an element is defined as the time in which half of the isotope emits its radiation and becomes a different element. Therefore after 4.5 billion years the meteoroid will contain 12 micrograms of uranium,  after 9 billion years will contain 6 micrograms. After 10 billion years will contain a little less than 6 micrograms.

A roller coaster car has 600,00 J of Kinetic energy as it approaches the station to stop. The roller coaster comes to a complete
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Work Done by the Brakes = - 60000 J

Negative sign indicates the opposite direction of force and displacement.

Explanation:

Assuming that frictional effects are negligible, we can say that all the work done by the brakes is used to stop the car. We can apply law of conservation of energy to this situation as follows:

Work Done by the Brakes = Change in Kinetic Energy

Work Done by the Brakes = Final Kinetic Energy - Initial Kinetic Energy

Final Kinetic Energy of the roller coaster will be 0. Because, the roller coaster will stop finally and its velocity will become zero.

Work Done by the Brakes = 0 J - 60000 J

<u>Work Done by the Brakes = - 60000 J</u>

<u>Negative sign indicates the opposite direction of force and displacement.</u>

A certain car traveling in a straight line path has a velocity of +10.0 m/s at some instant. after 3.00 s, its velocity is +6.00
makvit [3.9K]
The formula is:
v = v o + a t
6 = 10 + 3 * a
3 a = 10 - 6
a = 4 : 3
a =  - 1.33 m/s² ( because the car slows down )
Answer: The average acceleration of the car is - 1.33 m/s²
