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.

At what speed does a 1,248 kg compact car have the same kinetic energy as a 18,777 kg truck going 26 km/h?
notka56 [123]

The speed of car is 100.8km/h

KE =  \frac{1}{2} m(v \: truck ) {}^{2}

= 0.5 \times 18777 \times  \frac{26}{3.6} \times  \frac{26}{3.6}

= 489708.79j

=  \frac{1}{2}  \times 1248 \times( v \: car) {}^{2}

= 624v {}^{2}

so \: v {}^{2}  =  \frac{489708.7}{624}

= 784

v =  \sqrt{784}

v = 28m/s

v car= 28×3.6

=100.8km/h

Hence, the speed of the car is 100.8km/h

Jack tries to place magnets on his refrigerator at home, but they won’t stick. What could be the reason?
saul85 [17]
The most probable reason why the magnets won't stick on the refrigerator is that the body of the refrigerator and the magnets have like poles. If both have negative or both have positive poles facing each other, they will repel. In principle, magnets are attracted to opposite poles and like poles repel.

Two uniform spheres,each of mass 0.260kg are fixed at points A and B
Ivan

Answer:

a) 2.76x10^-9 m/s^2

b) downward

Explanation:

a) In order to do this, we need to use the newton's law of gravitation which is:

F = G.m/r²

Where:

G: Constant of gravitation (6.67x10^-11 N/m)

m: mass of the object

r: distance or radius of the object.

In this case, we have two spheres, so this law becomes:

F = G*m1*m2 / r²

Now, you are not providing a picture with this, however, this problem is very similar to one I solved before, so, I'm gonna use the same values to solve this. If, you have different values for the distance, just replace them in this procedure and should get the correct and more accurate answer.

In this case, the distance that separates sphere in P from sphere A and B is 10 cm. As both spheres have the same mass and they are at the same distance from P, we can assume that F1 = F2 so:

F1 = (6.67x10^-11) * (0.01) * (0.26) / (0.1)² = 1.73x10^-11 N

sphere at P, will roll downward to the middle of sphere A and B. The distance between these two points it's 8 cm (See picture attached)

Now, according to my data, they are exerting a force in the y axis, so:

F1y = Fy * senФ

senФ using trigonometry is:

senФ = opposite lenght / hipotenuse

senФ = 8/10 = 0.8

Replacing:

F1y = 1.73x10^-11 * 0.8 = 1.38x10^-11 N

This force it's exactly the same as F2y, so the total force is:

F = 1.38x10^-11 * 2 = 2.76x10^-11 N

Finally, using the second law of Newton:

F = m*a

Solving for a:

a = F/m

replacing:

a = 2.76x10^-11 / 0.01

a = 2.76x10^-9 m/s²

According to the picture and the value of this magnitude, it's going downward.
