If the kinetic energy of each ball is equal to that of the other,
then

(1/2) (mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (1/2) (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²

Multiply each side by 2:

      (mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²

Divide each side by (mass of gb) and by (speed of ppb)² :

     (mass of ppb)/(mass of gb)  =  (speed of gb)²/(speed of ppb)²

Take square root of each side:

       √ (ratio of their masses)  =  ( 1 / ratio of their speeds)²

By trying to do this perfectly rigorously and elegantly, I'm also
using up a lot of space and guaranteeing that nobody will be
able to follow what I have written.  Let's just come in from the
cold, and say it the clear, easy way:

If their kinetic energies are equal, then the product of each
mass and its speed² must be the same number.

If one ball has less mass than the other one, then the speed²
of the lighter one must be greater than the speed² of the heavier
one, in order to keep the products equal.

The pingpong ball is moving faster than the golf ball.

The directions of their motions are irrelevant.

If an object is NOT accelerating, then one knows for sure that it is ___.
tatuchka [14]

"Zero acceleration" means "velocity" that's not changing.

Sadly, it seems that both of these words are almost always
misinterpreted and misunderstood. "Acceleration" does NOT
mean "speeding up", and "velocity" does NOT mean speed.

"Velocity" is the speed AND direction of motion.  So, for example,
'30 miles per hour north' and '30 miles per hour west' are the same
speed but different velocities.

"Acceleration" is ANY change in speed OR direction.  Consider three
different families in three different cars.  One car is speeding up, one is
slowing down, and the third is driving around a curve at a steady speed.
ALL three of the cars are accelerating.

When the power in their house unexpectedly went off, Radhika's mother said that she would check and replace the fuse. What exact
denis23 [38]

A) a piece of wire

Explanation:

Radhika's mother is simply replacing piece of wire.

A fuse is made up of a thin strip of wire that melts when there is an over current.

  • A fuse is electrical safety device in circuit that protects appliances from over current.
  • The wire in a fuse has a high resistance and low melting point.
  • When current is high, the resistance of the wire causes it to melt and break the circuit.
  • In this way, appliances are protected from the harmful effect of the surge in voltage.

A train at a constant 79.0 km/h moves east for 27.0 min, then in a direction 50.0° east of due north for 29.0 min, and then west
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Magnitude of avg velocity, |v_{avg}| = 18.9 km/h

\theta' = 56.85^{\circ}

Given:

Constant speed of train, v = 79 km/h

Time taken in East direction, t = 27 min = \frac{27}{60} h

Angle, \theta = 50^{\circ}

Time taken in 50^{\circ}east of due North direction, t' = 29 min =  \frac{29}{60} h

Time taken in west direction, t'' = 37 min =  \frac{27}{60} h

Solution:

Now, the displacement, 's' in east direction is given by:

\vec{s} = vt = 79\times \frac{27}{60} = 35.5\hat{i} km

Displacement in  50^{\circ} east of due North for 29.0 min is given by:

\vec{s'} = vt'sin50^{\circ}\hat{i} + vt'cos50^{\circ}\hat{j}

\vec{s'} = 79(\frac{29}{60})sin50^{\circ}\hat{i} + 79(\frac{29}{60})cos50^{\circ}\hat{j}

\vec{s'} = 29.25\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} km

Now, displacement in the west direction for 37 min:

\vec{s''} = - vt''hat{i} = - 79\frac{37}{60} = - 48.72\hat{i} km

Now, the overall displacement,

\vec{s_{net}} = \vec{s} + \vec{s'} + \vec{s''}

\vec{s_{net}} = 35.5\hat{i} + 29.25\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} - 48.72\hat{i}

\vec{s_{net}} =  16.03\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} km

(a) Now, average velocity, v_{avg} is given:

v_{avg} = \frac{total displacement, \vec{s_{net}}}{total time, t}

v_{avg} = \frac{16.03\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j}}{\frac{27 + 29 + 37}{60}}

v_{avg} = 10.34\hat{i} + 15.83\hat{j}) km/h

Magnitude of avg velocity is given by:

|v_{avg}| = \sqrt{(10.34)^{2} + (15.83)^{2}} = 18.9 km/h

(b) angle can be calculated as:

tan\theta' = \frac{15.83}{10.34}

\theta' = tan^{- 1}\frac{15.83}{10.34} = 56.85^{\circ}

A strontium vapor laser beam is reflected from the surface of a CD onto a wall. The brightest spot is the reflected beam at an a
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

d=1.29*10^{-6}m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Distance of wall from CD D=1.4

Second bright fringe y_2= 0.803 m

Let

Strontium vapor laser has a wavelength \lambda= 431 nm=>431 *10^{-9}m

Generally the equation for Interference is mathematically given by

y=frac{n*\lambda*D}{d}

Where

d=\frac{n*\lambda*D}{y}

d=\frac{2*431 *10^{-9}m*1.4}{0.803}

d=1.29*10^{-6}m
