pin at rest. Find the velocity of the second pin when:

b)The first pin stops moving when it hits the second pin.

1) Velocity of the second pin after the collision: +2.5 m/s

2) Velocity of the second pin after the collision: +3.0 m/s

Explanation:

1)

We can solve the firs part of the problem by using the principle of conservation of momentum: the total momentum of the system (consisting of thw two pins) must be conserved before and after the collision, so we can write:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2$

where

$m_1 = 1.5 kg$ is the mass of the first pin

$u_1 = +3.0 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the first pin

$v_1 = +0.5 m/s$ is the final velocity of the first pin

$m_2 = 1.5 kg$ is the mass of the second pin

$u_2 = 0$ is the initial velocity of the second pin, which is at rest

$v_2$ is the final velocity of the second ball

Re-arranging the equation and solving the equation for v2, we find:

$v_2 = \frac{m_1 u_1-m_1 v_1}{m_2}=\frac{(1.5)(+3.0)-(1.5)(+0.5)}{1.5}=+2.5 m/s$

And the positive sign means that the second pin is moving in the same direction as the first pin.

2)

In this second part we apply again the law of conservation of momentum, but in this case we have:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2$

where

$m_1 = 1.5 kg$

$u_1 = +3.0 m/s$

$v_1 = 0 m/s$ , because in this case, the first pin stops moving when it hits the second pin

$m_2 = 1.5 kg$

$u_2 = 0$

$v_2$

And so, solving again for v2, we find:

$v_2 = \frac{m_1 u_1-m_1 v_1}{m_2}=\frac{(1.5)(+3.0)-0}{1.5}=+3.0 m/s$

This means that the second pin starts moving at +3.0 m/s after the collision.

A truck with a mass of 1370 kg and moving with a speed of 12.0 m/s rear-ends a 593 kg car stopped at an intersection. The collis

Elza [17]

Answer:

speed of car after collision, v2 =16.1 m/s and of the truck, v1 = 4.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

mass of truck M = 1370 kg

speed of truck = 12.0 m/s

mass of car m = 593 kg

collision is elastic therefore,

Applying law of momentum conservation we have

momentum before collision = momentum after collision

1370×12 + 0( initially car is at rest) = 1370×v1+ 593×v2 ....(i)

Also for a collision to be elastic,

velocity of approach = velocity of separation

12 -0 = v2-v1 ....(ii)

using (i) and (ii) we have

So speed of car after collision, v2 =16.1 m/s and of the truck, v1 = 4.6 m/s

Which example is NOT a part of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Electricity is NOT a part of electromagnetic spectrum.

An electromagnetic spectrum contains electromagnetic radiations arranged according to frequencies and wavelength.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2><h3>Electromagnetic waves </h3>

Electromagnetic waves are types of waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
These waves are mostly transverse in nature, which means the direction of transmission is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of particles.
They include, light waves, radio waves, x-rays, infra-red, etc.

<h3>Electromagnetic spectrum </h3>

An electromagnetic wave shows electromagnetic waves arranged according to frequencies and wavelength.
Electromagnetic spectrum contains electromagnetic waves: Gamma rays, x-rays, Ultraviolet, Visible light, infra-red, microwaves, and radio waves.
The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into various sections based on wavelength, with gamma rays having the shortest wavelength and radio waves having the longest wavelength.
The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see using our naked eyes is called the visible light spectrum.
In order of frequency, the radio waves have the lowest frequency while gamma rays have the largest frequency.

<h3>General characteristics of electromagnetic waves </h3>

They travel with the speed of light (3.0 x 10^8 m/s)
They possess energy that is given by; E =hf, where h is the plank’s constant and f is the frequency.
They are transverse in nature, and therefore, the wavelength is measured between successful crests or troughs.
They can travel through vacuum

Keywords: Electromagnetic spectrum, electromagnetic waves.

The position of a particle as it moves along an y axis is given by y = (2.0cm)sin(πt/4), with t in second and y in centimeters.

irina [24]

Part a)

At t = 0 the position of the object is given as

$x = 0$

At t = 2

$x = 2 sin(\pi/2) = 2cm$

so displacement of the object is given as

$d = 2 - 0 = 2cm$

so average speed is given as

$v_{avg} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 cm/s$

Part b)

instantaneous speed is given by

$v = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$v = 2cos(\pi t/4 ) * \frac{\pi}{4}$

now at t= 0

$v = \frac{\pi}{2} cm/s$

at t = 1

$v = 2 cos(\pi/4) * \frac{\pi}{4}$

$v = \frac{\pi}{2\sqrt2}$

at t = 2

$v = 0$

Part c)

Average acceleration is given as

$a_{avg} = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a_{avg} = \frac{0 - \frac{\pi}{2}}{2}$

$a = -\frac{\pi}{4} cm/s^2$

Part d)

Now for instantaneous acceleration

As we know that

$a =- \omega^2 y$

at t = 0

$a = -\frac{\pi^2}{16} * 0 = 0 cm/s^2$

at t = 1

$y = \sqrt2 cm$

now we have

$a = -\frac{\pi^2}{16}*\sqrt2$

At t = 2 we have

$y = 2 cm$

$a = -\frac{\pi^2}{16}*2$

$a = -\frac{\pi^2}{8}$

<em>so above is the instantaneous accelerations</em>
