This is an elastic collision
bcuz i think they move apart after the collision
sorry if im wrong
<h3>Solution for the above question : -</h3>
Ohm's law states that :
the terms used are :
let's solve for electric current :
<h2>
Answer:</h2>
0.126m
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
According to Hooke's law, the force (F) acting on a spring to cause an extension or compression (e) is given by;
F = k x e -------------------(i)
Where;
k = the spring's constant.
From the question, the force acting on the spring is the weight(W) of the mass. i.e
F = W -----------------------(ii)
<em>But;</em>
W = m x g;
where;
m = mass of the object
g = acceleration due to gravity [usually taken as 10m/s²]
<em>From equation (ii), it implies that;</em>
F = W = m x g
<em>Now substitute F = m x g into equation(i) as follows;</em>
F = k x e
m x g = k x e ------------------(iii)
<em>From the question;</em>
m = m1 = 3.5kg
k = 278N/m
<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;</em>
3.5 x 10 = 278 x e
35 = 278e
<em>Now solve for e;</em>
e = 35/278
e = 0.126m
Therefore, the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length (which is the same as the extension of the spring) is 0.126m
(a)
consider the motion of the tennis ball. lets assume the velocity of the tennis ball going towards the racket as positive and velocity of tennis ball going away from the racket as negative.
m = mass of the tennis ball = 60 g = 0.060 kg
v₀ = initial velocity of the tennis ball before being hit by racket = 20 m/s
v = final velocity of the tennis ball after being hit by racket = - 39 m/s
ΔP = change in momentum of the ball
change in momentum of the ball is given as
ΔP = m (v - v₀)
inserting the above values
ΔP = (0.060) (- 39 - 20)
ΔP = - 3.54 kgm/s
hence , magnitude of change in momentum : 3.54 kgm/s
