I know i did part a correctly. heres what i did: momentum is conserved: m1 * u - m2 * u = m2 * v or (m1 - m2) * u = m2 * v Also, for an elastic head-on collision, we know that the relative velocity of approach = relative velocity of separation (from conservation of energy), or, for this problem, 2u = v Then (m1 - m2) * u = m2 * 2u m1 - m2 = 2 * m2 m1 = 3 * m2 m1 is the sphere that remained at rest (hence its absence from the RHS), so m2 = 0.3kg / 3 m2 = 0.1 kg b) this part confuses me, heres what i did (m1 - m2) * u = m2 * v (.3kg - .1kg)(2.0m/s) = .1kg * v .4 kg = .1 v v = 4 m/s What my teacher did: (.3g - .1g) * 2.0m/s = (.3g + .1g) * v I understand the left hand side but i dont get the right hand side. Why is m1 added to m2 when m1 is at rest which makes its v = zero?? v = +1.00m/s since the answer is positive, what does that mean? Also, if v was -1.00m/s what would that mean? thanks!

<h2>Emerging Technologies that will make Hydroelectric Energy Source Safer</h2>

The variation in technology to labor lower loads and higher peaks make the hydroelectric energy source safer, more usable, more efficient and cleaner. The plants can also adapt speed drives changing the capability to suffice various sorts of demands which includes great speed response. Such variation can alter the income rate by 85%. The spread of operating range of the plant can increase income rate by 61%.

A gas‑forming reaction produces 1.90 m 3 1.90 m3 of gas against a constant pressure of 179.0 kPa. 179.0 kPa. Calculate the work
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

The work done is 3.4 × 10⁵ J.

Explanation:

Given:

Pressure of the gas produced (P) = 179 kPa

Volume of the gas produced (ΔV) = 1.90 m³

We need to find the work done in joules. For that, we don't need any conversion as the units are already in SI units which will give the result in Joules only.

Now, let us verify our results by using conversion factors and without using them.

Using conversion factors:

1 m³ = 1000 L

So, 1.90 m³ = 1.90 m³ × 1000 \frac{L}{m^3} = 1900 L

Also, 1 atm = 101.325 kPa

So, 179 kPa = 179 kPa × \frac{1\ atm}{101.325\ kPa} = 1.767 atm

Now, work done in a constant pressure process is given as:

Work = Pressure × Volume change

Work = P × ΔV

Work = 1.767 atm × 1900 L

Work = 3.36 × 10³ atm-L

Now, again using the energy conversion for work.

1 atm-L = 101.325 J

So, 3.36 × 10³ atm-L = 3.36 × 10³ atm-L × \frac{101.325\ J}{1\ atm-L} = 3.4 × 10⁵ J

Therefore, the work done is 3.4 × 10⁵ J.

Now, let us verify the above result without any conversion.

Work = P × ΔV = 179 × 1000 × 1.90 = 3.4 × 10⁵ J.

Therefore, the work done is same by both ways.

Hence the work done is 3.4 × 10⁵ J.

The binding of acetylcholine to its receptor at the neuromuscular junction causes the opening of a
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: opening of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channels.

Explanation:

Neuromuscular junction is a special junction formed between a motor neurone and a muscle fibre. The junction is fortified with nerves and receptors that helps in the transmission of signals from the motor neurone to the muscle fibre in order to bring about the desired voluntary movements through muscular contraction.

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor are activated through the binding of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. This action leads to influx of sodium ions to accomplish endplate potential.

What is the direction of the magnetic field if an electron moving in the positive x direction experiences a magnetic force in th
Alex787 [66]

Given :

An electron moving in the positive x direction experiences a magnetic force in the positive z direction.

To Find :

The direction of the magnetic field.

Solution :

We know, force is given by :

\vec{F}=q(\vec{v}\times \vec{B)}

Here, q = -e.

\vec{F}=(-e)(\vec{v}\times \vec{B)}\\\\\hat{k}=(-e)(\hat{i}\times \vec{B})

Now, for above condition to satisfy :

\hat{i}\times \vec{B}=-\hat{k}

So, \vec{B}=-\hat{j}

Therefore, direction of magnetic field is negative y direction.

Hence, this is the required solution.
