A 10kg sphere hits a stationary 8kg sphere. After the collision the 8kg sphere moves off in the positive direction at 4m/s. If t

he 10kg sphere was originally moving at 10m/s, what is its velocity after the collision?

M = mass of the first sphere = 10 kg

m = mass of the second sphere = 8 kg

V = initial velocity of the first sphere before collision = 10 m/s

v = initial velocity of the second sphere before collision = 0 m/s

V' = final velocity of the first sphere after collision = ?

v' = final velocity of the second sphere after collision = 4 m/s

using conservation of momentum

M V + m v = M V' + m v'

(10) (10) + (8) (0) = (10) V' + (8) (4)

100 = (10) V' + 32

(10) V' = 68

V' = 6.8 m/s

How does gravity affect our solar system?
Lina20 [59]
The attraction of an object to something else with mass. What is the solar 
system? The solar system is the alignment of planets around the sun. All the planets are in orbit around the sun. Our Solar System There are also Asteroids, comets, moons, and other forms of matter throughout space So What is the major role of gravity in our solar system? Holding Everything In Place. Without gravity a lot of things
<span>would go wrong. If there was no gravitational force on planets, people would float off into the sky.</span>

Two objects are thrown vertically upward, first one, and then, a bit later, the other. Is it (a) possible or (b) impossible that
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

No, it is impossible

Explanation:

Kinematics equation:

Vf^{2} =Vo^{2} -2gy

if height is maximum:

y=H and Vf=0

so:

<h3>Vo^{2} =2gH</h3><h3>H=Vo^{2} /2g</h3>

Analysis: From the last equation we see that the maximum height depends ONLY on the initial speed. This means that if both objects reach the same maximum height, then they necessarily need to have the SAME initial velocity. If they have the same initial velocity and in order to reach the maximum height at the SAME time the only way is that they are released at the SAME TIME.

An 92-kg football player traveling 5.0m/s in stopped in 10s by a tackler. What is the original kinetic energy of the player? Exp
Artemon [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the football player, m = 92 kg

Velocity of player, v = 5 m/s

Time taken, t = 10 s

(1) We need to find the original kinetic energy of the player. It is given by :

k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

k=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (92\ kg)\times (5\ m/s)^2

k = 1150  J

In two significant figure, k=1.2\times 10^3\ J

(2) We know that work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. Work done per unit time is called power of the player. We need to find the average power required to stop him. So, his final velocity v = 0

i.e. P=\dfrac{W}{t}=\dfrac{\Delta K}{t}

P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times (92\ kg)\times (5\ m/s)^2}{10\ s}

P = 115 watts

In two significant figures, P=1.2\times 10^2\ Watts

Hence, this is the required solution.
