A red sphere of mass m and a blue sphere of mass 5m are attached to the ceiling by massless strings of identical length forming

twin pendulums of length L. The red sphere is drawn to the left so that its center of mass has been raised a distance h and is then released. As the red sphere moves back through equilibrium, it collides with the blue sphere head-on.
a. If the two spheres adhere together during the collision, the combined system swings to the right and reach a maximum height, hmax, inelastic. Find this height in terms of h.
b. If the two spheres collide elastically, the two spheres will rebound in opposite directions. What is the maximum height of the blue sphere, hmax,elastic, in this case? How does it compare to your answer in part (a)?

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) masses in inelastic collision are m and 5m . The potential energy of red sphere will be converted into kinetic energy before collision with blue sphere.

mgh = 1/2 mv² , v is velocity at the lowest point of red sphere.

v = √ 2gh

Let V be common velocity after collision . We shall apply law of conservation of momentum to calculate V .

mv = 6m x V

V = v / 6

If hmax be the height upto which both of them go after collision , the kinetic energy of both the  ball will be spent to generate potential of both the masses

1/2 x 6m x V² = 6m x g x hmax

hmax = V² / 2g

= v² / (36 x 2g)

= 2gh / 72 g

= h / 36

b ) Let v₁ and v₂ be the velocity of m and 5m after collision . m will go in opposite direction .

Applying law of conservation of momentum

m v = 5m v₂ - m v₁

v = 5 v₂ - v₁

Since collision is elastic ,

relative velocity of approach = relative velocity of separation

v = v₁ + v₂

from the two equation above

5 v₂ - v₁ = v₁ + v₂

4v₂ = 2 v₁

v₁ = 2v₂

putting this value in equation above

2v₂ + v₂ = v

v₂ = v / 3

if hmax is the height upto which blue ball goes

1/2 5m x v₂² = 5m x g x hmax

hmax = v₂² / 2g

= v² / 18g

= 2gh / 18g

= h / 9 Ans , so in this case blue ball will go to greater height.

A rocket starts from rest and moves upward from the surface of the earth. For the first 10s of its motion, the vertical accelera
Naily [24]
Since the rocket’s acceleration is 3.00 m/s^3 * t, its acceleration is increasing at the rate of 3 m/s^3 each second. The equation for its velocity at a specific time is the integral of the acceleration equation. 

<span>vf = vi + 1.5 * t^2, vi = 0 </span>
<span>vf = 1.5 * 10^2 = 150 m/s </span>
This is the rocket’s velocity at 10 seconds. The equation for its height at specific time is the integral velocity equation

<span>yf = yi + 0.5 * t^3, yi = 0 </span>
<span>yf = 0.5 * 10^3 = 500 meters </span>
<span>This is the rocket’s height at 10 seconds. </span>

<span>Part B </span>
<span>What is the speed of the rocket when it is 345 m above the surface of the earth? </span>
<span>Express your answer with the appropriate units. </span>


<span>Use the equation above to determine the time. </span>

<span>345 = 0.5 * t^3 </span>
<span>t^3 = 690 </span>
<span>t = 690^⅓ </span>
<span>This is approximately 8.837 seconds. Use the following equation to determine the velocity at this time. </span>

<span>v = 1.5 * t^2 = 1.5 * (690^⅓)^2 </span>
<span>This is approximately 117 m/s. </span>


<span>The graph of height versus time is the graph of a cubic function. The graph of velocity is a parabola. The graph of acceleration versus time is line. The slope of the line is the coefficient of t. This is a very different type of problem. For the acceleration to increase, the force must be increasing. To see what this feels like slowly push the accelerator pedal of a car to the floor. Just don’t do this so long that your car is speeding!!</span>

motikmotik

Answer:

The number of available energy is 4.820\times10^{45}

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy E=4.9\times10^{-4}\ J

Temperature = 2.7 K

Energy states per unit volume dE=4\times10^{-5}\ eV

We need to calculate the number of available energy

Using formula of energy

N=g(E)dE

N=\dfrac{8\pi\times E^2 dE}{(hc)^3}

Where, h = Planck constant

c = speed of light

E = energy

Put the value into the formula

N=\dfrac{8\pi\times(4.9\times10^{-4})^2\times4\times10^{-5}\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{(6.67\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8})^3}

N=4.820\times10^{45}

Hence, The number of available energy is 4.820\times10^{45}

Hoochie [10]
This is an example of inertia - the body keeps it's energy because there is no force applied to it. When we try to stop it's motion, it resists. A man is not rigidly attached to the bus, so he keeps moving forward, at least until he hits the front window from inside. Answer is D.

An apple falls from a tree and 2.5 seconds later hits the ground. How fast is the apple falling when it hits the ground? Neglect
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

<h2>9.8 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

<h2>Since the ball rises for 2.5 s, the time to fall is 2.5 s. The acceleration is 9.8 m/s2 everywhere, even when the velocity is zero at the top of the path. Although the velocity is zero at the top, it is changing at the rate of 9.8 m/s² downward.</h2>
