<span>In 1998, Voyager 1 sped past Pioneer 10's distance to become the farthest machine humans have ever sent from Earth. As of September 2012, the spacecraft is 122 astronomical units (11.3 billion miles or 18.2 billion kilometers) from the sun</span>

A 2.5-kg ball and a 5.0-kg ball have an elastic collision. Before the collision, the 2.5-kg ball was at rest and the other ball

lesantik [10]

The kinetic energy of 2.5 kg ball after collision is 27.09 J.

Answer:

Explanation:

In elastic collision, the sum of momentum of the objects before collision will be equal to the sum of momentum of the objects after collision.

We know that momentum is the product of mass and velocity acting on any object.

So, the conservation of energy in elastic collision leads to following equation:

$M_{1} u_{1} +M_{2} u_{2}=M_{1} v_{1}+M_{2} v_{2}$

Since, the momentum is conserved ,the kinetic energy will also be conserved in elastic collision. So

$M_{1} u_{1} ^{2}+M_{2} u_{2} ^{2}=M_{1}v_{1} ^{2}+ M_{2}v_{2} ^{2}$

Since initial velocity for M1 ball is zero, then

$M_{2} u_{2}=M_{1} v_{1}+M_{2} v_{2}$

and

$M_{2} u_{2} ^{2}=M_{1}v_{1} ^{2}+ M_{2}v_{2} ^{2}$

So, on solving all the above equation, we get an equation for velocity and that is

$\frac{2M_{2}u_{2} }{(M_{1}+M_{2} }$ =final velocity of ball with mass 2.5 kg

$v = \frac{2(5*3.5)}{2.5+5}=4.67 m/s$

So kinetic energy will be 1/2 mv2

Kinetic energy of 2.5 kg ball is $\frac{1}{2}*2.5*(4.67)^{2} =27.09 J$

So the kinetic energy of 2.5 kg ball after collision is 27.09 J.

Older televisions display a picture using a device called a cathode ray tube, where electrons are emitted at high speed and coll

Len [333]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity v = 2.1 x 10⁷ m/s

acceleration a = 5.1 x 10¹⁵ m /s²

horizontal distance covered = 5.5 x 10⁻² m

time taken to cover horizontal distance = 5.5 x 10⁻² / 2.1 x 10⁷

= 2.62 x 10⁻⁹ s .

b )

vertical distance travelled due to vertical acceleration

= 1/2 a t²

= .5 x 5.1 x 10¹⁵ x (2.62 x 10⁻⁹)²

= 17.5 x 10⁻³ m

Which sequence shows all the spectral colors of visible light arranged in an increasing order of their frequency? A. red, yellow

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The answer is B. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet

Explanation:

Most textbooks have the acronym ROYGBV to express the order in which colors appear on the spectrum of light, indigo is included in your list, and that's not a problem, although it's not typical. This spectrum of light is the same order in which colors appear in rainbows.

What happens in a nucleus during beta decay

Jet001 [13]

The number of protons plus the number of neutrons decreases

Beta decay occurs when, in a nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons is transformed into the other. In beta minus decay, a neutron decays into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino: n Æ p + e - +.
