Reflection: you look in the mirror.
Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke.
Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .

blagie [28]

Answer:

vf₁ = 6.86 m/s , to the right

vf₂ = 2.96 m/s, to the right

Explanation:

Theory of collisions

Linear momentum is a vector magnitude (same direction of the velocity) and its magnitude is calculated like this:

p=m*v

where

p:Linear momentum

m: mass

v:velocity

There are 3 cases of collisions : elastic, inelastic and plastic.

For the three cases the total linear momentum quantity is conserved:

P₀ = Pf Formula (1)

P₀ :Initial linear momentum quantity

Pf : Final linear momentum quantity

Data

m₁= 0.220 kg : mass of object₁

m₂= 0.345 kg : mass of object₂

v₀₁ = 2.1 m/s ₁ , to the right : initial velocity of m₁

v₀₂= 6 m/s, to the right i :initial velocity of m₂

Problem development

We appy the formula (1):

P₀ = Pf

m₁*v₀₁ + m₂*v₀₂ = m₁*vf₁ + m₂*vf₂

We assume that the two objects move to the right at the end of the collision, so, the sign of the final speeds is positive:

(0.22)*(2.1) + (0.345)*(6) = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)*vf₂

2.532 = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)*vf₂ Equation (1)

Because the shock is elastic, the coefficient of elastic restitution (e) is equal to 1.

$e= \frac{v_{f2}-v_{f1} }{v_{o1} -v_{o2} }$

1*(v₀₁ - v₀₂ ) = (vf₂ -vf₁)

(2.1 - 6 ) = (vf₂ -vf₁)

-3.9 = (vf₂ -vf₁)

vf₂ = vf₁ - 3.9

vf₂ = vf₁ - 3.9 Equation (2)

We replace Equation (2) in the Equation (1)

2.532 = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)*( vf₁ - 3.9)

2.532 = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)* (vf₁) -(0.345)( 3.9)

2.532 + 1.3455 = (0.565)*vf₁

3.8775 = (0.565)*vf₁

vf₁ = (3.8775) / (0.565)

vf₁ = 6.86 m/s, to the right

We replace vf₁ = 6.86 m/s in the Equation (2)

vf₂ = 6.86 - 3.9

vf₂ = 2.96 m/s, to the right

Returning once again to our table top example of a horizontal mass on a low-friction surface with m = 0.254 kg and k = 10.0 N/m

Julli [10]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 0.254 kg

Spring constant [tex[\omega_{0}= 10.0\ N/m[/tex]

Force = 0.5 N

y = 0.628

We need to calculate the A and d

Using formula of A and d

$A=\dfrac{\dfrac{F_{0}}{m}}{\sqrt{(\omega_{0}^2-\omega^{2})^2+y^2\omega^2}}$ .....(I)

$tan d=\dfrac{y\omega}{(\omega^2-\omega^2)}$ ....(II)

Put the value of $\omega=0.628\ rad/s$ in equation (I) and (II)

$A=\dfrac{\dfrac{0.5}{0.254}}{\sqrt{(10.0^2-0.628)^2+0.628^2\times0.628^2}}$

$A=0.0198$

From equation (II)

$tan d=\dfrac{0.628\times0.628}{((10.0^2-0.628)^2)}$

$d=0.0023$

Put the value of $\omega=3.14\ rad/s$ in equation (I) and (II)

$A=\dfrac{\dfrac{0.5}{0.254}}{\sqrt{(10.0^2-3.14)^2+0.628^2\times3.14^2}}$

$A=0.0203$

From equation (II)

$tan d=\dfrac{0.628\times3.14}{((10.0^2-3.14)^2)}$

$d=0.0120$

Put the value of $\omega=6.28\ rad/s$ in equation (I) and (II)

$A=\dfrac{\dfrac{0.5}{0.254}}{\sqrt{(10.0^2-6.28)^2+0.628^2\times6.28^2}}$

$A=0.0209$

From equation (II)

$tan d=\dfrac{0.628\times6.28}{((10.0^2-6.28)^2)}$

$d=0.0257$

Put the value of $\omega=9.42\ rad/s$ in equation (I) and (II)

$A=\dfrac{\dfrac{0.5}{0.254}}{\sqrt{(10.0^2-9.42)^2+0.628^2\times9.42^2}}$

$A=0.0217$

From equation (II)

$tan d=\dfrac{0.628\times9.42}{((10.0^2-9.42)^2)}$

$d=0.0413$

Hence, This is the required solution.

stira [4]

Answer:

The coefficient is 0.90

Explanation:

Drawing a diagram makes thing easier, we will assume that the acceleration tends to zero because it start barely moving.

$-F_s+mg*sin(\theta)+F=0\\F_s=57.1kg*9.8m/s^2*sin(28.3)+177N\\F_s=442N\\F_s=\µ*N\\N=m*g*cos(\theta)\\N=57.1*9.8*cos(28.3)=493N\\\\\µ=\frac{442N}{493N}=0.90$

You measure the power delivered by a battery to be 4.26 W when it is connected in series with two equal resistors. How much powe

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

<em>The power delivered by the battery is 17.04 W</em>

Explanation:

Power through a circuit is given as

P = IV ....1

where P is the power

I is the current through the circuit

V is the voltage through the circuit

The voltage in a circuit is given as

V = IR ....2

Let us take the value of each resistor as equal to R

when connected in series, the total resistance will be

$R_{t}$ = R + R = 2R

If we assume constant voltage through the circuit, then from equation 2, the current in this case is

I = V/2R

If the resistors are connected in parallel, then the total resistance will be

$\frac{1}{R_{t} }$ = $\frac{1}{R}$ +

$R_{t}$ = R/2

The current in this case will be increased since the resistance is reduced

I = 2V/R

comparing the two situations, we can see that the current increased when connected in parallel to a ratio of

$\frac{2V}{R}$ ÷ $\frac{V}{2R}$ =

This means that the current increased 4 times

From equation 1, we can see that electrical power is proportional to the current at a constant voltage, therefore, the power will also increase by four times to

P = 4 x 4.26 = <em>17.04 W</em>
