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

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

Calculate the tension on the rope.<br> A. 57.89 N<br> B. 32.73 N<br> C. 69.84 N<br> D. 12.55 N
Ratling [72]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{B. 32.73N}}

To calculate the tension, we must calculate the acceleration of the system.

Begin with a summation of forces:

∑F = -M₁gsinФ + T - T + M₂g

Simplify and solve for acceleration: (Tensions cancel out)

a = \frac{-M_1gsin\theta + T - T + M_2g}{M_1+M_2}

Plug in values. Let g = 10 m/s²

a = \frac{-3(10)(sin30)+8(10)}{3+8} = 5.91 m/s^{2}

Now, to find tension, let's sum up the forces acting on ONE block. For simplicity, we can look at the hanging block:

∑F = -T + W

ma = -T + W

Rearrange to solve for T:

T = W - ma

We know the acceleration, so plug in the values:

T = (8)(10) - (8)(5.91) = 32.73 N

Which term describes the number of troughs that pass a point in a given amount of time?
artcher [175]

Answer:

Frequency (f) can be defined as the number of waves or crests or number of troughs that pass a point per unit second. It can be measured in Hertz (Hz) or 1/s.

Consider a ball rolling down the decreasing slope inside a semicircular bowl (the slope is steep at the top rim, gets less steep
satela [25.4K]
The answer would be:
<span>It's rate of gaining speed decreases.
The rate at which speed changes is called acceleration, 
You can think of this problem as an inclined plane. But the angle of an inclined plane is constantly decreasing.
We know that on a frictionless inclined plane acceleration of an object is:
</span>a=gsin(\theta)
<span>Where g is the gravitational acceleration of the Earth and \theta is the angle of an inclined plane. 
Using our analogy, the ball would start on an inclined plane with a 90-degree angle and that angle would continue to decrease to zero. 
The sine function is 1 at 90 degrees and is equal to zero at 0 degrees. Since our acceleration is proportional to the sine, and sine function is decreasing with the angle, our acceleration is also decreasing.

A radium atom has 88 protons and 226 neutrons. How many electrons does it have?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

No. of electrons = 88

Explanation:

Given that,

No. of protons = 88

No. of neutrons = 226

We need to find the number of electrons it have in a radium atom.

In an atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. There are 88 protons in this case.

Hence, there are 88 electrons in the radium atom.
