After being struck by a bowling ball, a 1.3 kg bowling pin sliding to the right at 5.0 m/s collides head-on with another 1.3 kg

bowling pin initially at rest. Find the final velocity of the second pin in the following situations:
a) The first pin moves to the right after the collision at 0.8 m/s. Answer in units of m/s.
b) The first pin stops moving when it hits the second pin. Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

a) 4.2m/s

b) 5.0m/s

Explanation:

This problem is solved using the principle of conservation of linear momentum which states that in a closed system of colliding bodies, the sum of the total momenta before collision is equal to the sum of the total momenta after collision.

The problem is also an illustration of elastic collision where there is no loss in kinetic energy.

Equation (1) is a mathematical representation of the the principle of conservation of linear momentum for two colliding bodies of masses m_1 and m_2 whose respective velocities before collision are u_1 and u_2;

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2..............(1)

where v_1 and v_2 are their respective velocities after collision.

Given;

m_1=1.3kg\\u_1=5m/s\\m_2=1.3kg\\u_2=0m/s

Note that u_2=0 because the second mass m_2 was at rest before the collision.

Also, since the two masses are equal, we can say that m_1=m_2=m so that equation (1) is reduced as follows;

mu_1+mu_2=mv_1+mv_2\\\\m(u_1+u_2)=m(v_1+v_2)..............(2)

m cancels out of both sides of equation (2), and we obtain the following;

u_1+u_2=v_1+v_2.............(3)

a) When v_1=0.8m/s, we obtain the following by equation(3)

5+0=0.8+v_2\\hence\\v_2=5-0.8\\v_2=4.2m/s

b) As m_1 stops moving v_1=0, therefore,

5+0=0+v_2\\v_2=5m/s

Which of the following BEST explains why stability is an important skill for athletes?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer;

B. Without good stability, athletes are too clumsy to perform well.

Explanation;

Stability refers to the resistance to both linear and angular acceleration, or resistance to disruption of equilibrium.

Developing and enhancing core strength and stability helps athletes to maximize their power output and enhance game day performance. Additionally, Improving core strength and stability can also help athletes reduce their risk of injury.

An unknown charged particle passes without deflection through crossed electric and magnetic fields of strengths 187,500 V/m and
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

The electric fields of strengths E = 187,500 V/m and

and The magnetic  fields of strengths B = 0.1250 T

The diameter d is 25.05 cm which is converted to 0.2505m

The radius is (d/2)

= 0.2505m / 2 = 0.12525m

The given formula to find the magnetic force is F_{ma}=BqV---(i)

The given formula to find the electric force is F_{el}=qE---(ii)

The velocity of electric field and magnetic field is said to be perpendicular

Electric field is equal to magnectic field

Equate equation (i) and equation (ii)

Bqv=qE\\\\v=\frac{E}{B}

v=\frac{187500}{0.125} \\\\v=15\times10^5m/s

It is said that the particles moves in semi circle, so we are going to consider using centripetal force

F_{ce}=\frac{mv^2}{r}---(iii)

magnectic field is equal to centripetal force

Lets equate equation (i) and (iii)

Bqr=\frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\\frac{q}{m}=\frac{v}{Br}  \\\\\frac{q}{m} =\frac{15\times 10^5}{0.125\times0.12525} \\\\=\frac{15\times10^5}{0.015656} \\\\=95808383.23\\\\=958.1\times10^5C/kg

Therefore,  the particle's charge-to-mass ratio is 958.1\times10^5C/kg

b)

To identify the particle

Then 1/ 958.1 × 10⁵ C/kg

The charge to mass ratio is very close to that of a proton, which is about 1*10^8 C/kg

Therefore the particle is proton.
