1. If an object of mass m collides and velocity v collides inelastically with an object of mass 3m that is initially at rest, th
Archy [21]

Answer:

1a). 4 times. 1b) 4. 1c) 1/4.

2a) 5 times. 1b) 5 1c) 1/5

3a) 7/3 times 3b) 7/3 3c) 3/7

4a) 8/5 times 4b) 8/5 4c) 5/8

Explanation:

1) Assuming no external forces acting during the collision, total momentum must be conserved, so the following general expression applies:

m₁*v₁₀ + m₂*v₂₀ = m₁*v₁f  + m₂*v₂f (1)

If we assume that the collision is perfectly inelastic, this means that both masses stick together after the collision, so v₁f = v₂f.

If m₂ is initially at rest, ⇒ v₂₀ = 0.

Replacing in (1) we get the expression of vf as a function of v₁₀, as follows:

vf = v₁₀*(m₁/(m₁+m₂)

So, for the four cases we have the following:

1) initial mass = m

  final mass = m+3m = 4 m

⇒final mass / initial mass = 4

vf = v₀* (m/4m) = v₀/4  ⇒v₀/vf = 4

So, the velocity of the system will decrease by a factor of 4. The new velocity will be vf= v₀/4.

2) Applying the same considerations, we get:

2a)  final mass / initial mass = 5

2b) vf = v₀* (m/5m) = v₀/5  ⇒v₀/vf = 5

2c) vf = v₀/5

3) Applying the same considerations, we get:

3a)  final mass / initial mass = 7/3

3b) vf = v₀* (3m/7m) =3/7* v₀  ⇒v₀/vf = 7/3

3c) vf = 3/7*v₀

4) Applying the same considerations, we get:

4a)  final mass / initial mass = 8/5

4b) vf = v₀* (5m/8m) = 5/8*v₀ ⇒v₀/vf = 8/5

4c) vf = 5/8*v₀

Suppose the conducting wire (with resistance R) was replace with one of the same material but has its dimension doubled (the len
sveticcg [70]
Resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to the square of its radius.
Thus, if the length is doubled, and the radius is halved:
R₂ = 2R₁/(1/2)²
R₂ = 8R₁
Therefore the resistance increases eight times.
