A ball of mass 0.220 kg that is moving with a speed of 6.3 m/s collides head-on and elastically with another ball initially at r

est. Immediately after the collision, the incoming ball bounces backward with a speed of 3.6 m/s. (Assume the positive direction is forward.)
(a) Calculate the velocity of the target ball after the collision.
(b) Calculate the mass of the target ball.

Answer:

(a) Velocity of target is 2.7 m/s.

(b) Mass of target is 0.807 kg.

Explanation:

Mass of ball m_{1}=0.22\;kg

initial speed of the ball v_{1i}=6.3\;m/s

Final speed of the ball v_{2f}=-3.6\;m/s

Part (a) The second ball is initially at rest. So, by the conservation of momentum,

p_{i}=p_{f}\\m_{1}v_{1i}+m_{2}v_{2i}=m_{1}v_{1f}+m_{2}v_{2f}\\0.22\times6.3+m_{2}\times 0=0.22\times(-3.6)+m_2v_{2f}\\m_2v_{2f}=2.178\:\:\:\:\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;    ...(1)

Now, the velocity of approach is equal to the velocity of separation,

v_{1i}-v_{2i}=v_{2f}-v_{1f}\\6.3-0=v_{2f}-(-3.6)\\v_{2f}=2.7\;m/s

Part (b): From equation (1),

m_2v_{2f}=2.178\\m_2=\frac{2.178}{2.7}\\m_2=0.806\;kg

Star A and Star B have measured stellar parallax of 1.0 arc second and 0.75 arc second, respectively. Which star is closer? How
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Star A is closer than Star B

Explanation:

As we know that in parallax method of distance measurement the angle subtended by the star when it covers a distance of one Parsec arc length, it is known as parallax angle

Here we can say

angle = \frac{1 Parsec}{distance}

so we have

distance = \frac{1 Parsec}{angle}

so here we have

angle subtended by Star A = 1 arc sec

angle subtended by star B = 0.75 arc sec

now we have

distance for star A is given as

d_a = \frac{1 Parsec}{1} = 1 Parsec

distance of star B is given as

d_b = \frac{1 Parsec}{0.75} = 1.33 Parsec

So star A is closer than star B

2) The horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity of a football are 16 m/s and 20 m/s respectively. How long doe
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: 2.04 s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity be v, Angle of projectile be

Then the horizontal component = v cos θ = 16 m/s

Vertical component of velocity = v sin θ = 20 m/s

Time taken to reach the highest point is half the time taken for total flight.

Time for total flight,

t = \frac{2vsin \theta}{g}

t'=\frac{vsin \theta}{g} = \frac {20 m/s}{9.8 m/s^2} = 2.04 s

Thus, the football takes 2.04 s to rise to the highest point of its trajectory.

A person throws a ball straight up. He releases the ball at a height of 1.75 m above the ground and with a velocity of 12.0 m/s.
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

a) 1.22 s

b) 9.089 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-12}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=1.22\ s

Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 1.22 seconds

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=12\times 1.22+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.81\times 1.22^2\\\Rightarrow s=7.339\ m

The maximum height the ball will reach above the ground is 1.75+7.339 = 9.089 m

A 10-kilogram mass is sliding along a frictionless floor with an acceleration of 5 meters per second squared. What is the magnit
mart [117]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 50 N</h3>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

<h3>force = mass × acceleration</h3>

From the question we have

force = 10 × 5

We have the final answer as

<h3>50 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
