A 14 kg tennis ball moves at a velocity of 11 m/s. The ball is struck by a racket, causing it to rebound in the opposite directi

on at a speed of 5 m/s. What is the change in the ball’s momentum? Report the number of kg‧m/s with the appropriate sign.

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the momentum.

This is defined as the product between the change in velocity and the mass of the object, that is

$p = m\Delta v$

$p = m (v_f-v_i)$

Where,

m = mass

$v_f =$ Final velocity

$v_i =$ Initial velocity

Our values are given as,

m = 14kg

$v_i$ = 11m/s

$v_f= - 5m/s \rightarrow$ <em>the negative Symbol implies that the direction is opposite to the initial one and therefore there is also a change in the sense of magnitude</em>

$p = (14)(-5-11)$

$p = 14(-16)$

$p = -224 kg \cdot m/s$

The negative symbol indicates that the momentum has a direction opposite to that of the initial velocity. Or failing that, it has the same direction of the final speed

What are the differences between the practical and the ideal pendulum

ankoles [38]

lf a heavy point mass is suspended by a weightless, inextensible and perfectly flexible string from a rigid support, then this arrangement is called simple pendulum.

In practice, however, these requirements cannot be fulfilled. So we use a practical pendulum.

A practical pendulum consists of a small metallic solid sphere suspended by a fine silk thread from a rigid support. This is the practical simple pendulum which is nearest to the ideal simple pendulum.

Note :

The metallic sphere is called the bob.

When the bob is displaced slightly to one side from its mean position and released, it oscillates about its mean position in a vertical plane.

a fast charged particle passes perpendicularly through a thin glass sheet of index of refraction 1.5. The particle emits light i

NeX [460]

The minimum speed of the particle is the Speed of light in glass is c/μ=2×108m/s.

<h3>Why is the refractive index important?</h3>

The higher the refractive index the slower the light travels, which causes a correspondingly increased change in the direction of the light within the material. What this means for lenses is that a higher refractive index material can bend the light more and allow the profile of the lens to be lower.

Refractive index values are usually determined at standard temperature. A higher temperature means the liquid becomes less dense and less viscous, causing light to travel faster in the medium.

Which of the following is a definition of glass transition temperature?

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

c. The temperature at which a glass transforms from a solid to liquid.

Explanation:

The glass transition temperature is said to be a temperature range when a polymer structure transition from a glass or hardy(solid) material to a rubber like or viscous liquid material.

The glass transition temperature is an important property that is critical in product design.

A parallel-plate capacitor stores charge Q. The capacitor is then disconnected from its voltage source, and the space between th

Stells [14]

Answer:

The relationship between the initial stored energy $PE_{i}$ and the stored energy after the dielectric is inserted $PE_{f}$ is:

c) $PE_{f} =0.5\ PE_{i}$

Explanation:

A parallel plate capacitor with $C_{o}$ that is connected to a voltage source $V_{o}$ holds a charge of $Q_{o} =C_{o} V_{o}$ . Then we disconnect the voltage source and keep the charge $Q_{o}$ constant . If we insert a dielectric of $\kappa=2$ between the plates while we keep the charge constant, we found that the potential decreases as:

$V=\frac{V_{o}}{\kappa}$

The capacitance is modified as:

$C=\frac{Q}{V} =\kappa\frac{Q_{o}}{V_{o}}=\kappa\ C_{o}$

The stored energy without the dielectric is

$PE_{i}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{Q_{o}^{2}}{C_{o}}=\frac{1}{2}C_{o}V_{o}^{2}$

The stored energy after the dielectric is inserted is:

$PE_{f}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{Q^{2}}{C}=\frac{1}{2}CV^{2}$

If we replace in the above equation the values of V and C we get that

$PE_{f}=\frac{1}{2}\kappa\ C_{o}(\frac{V_{o}}{\kappa})^{2}=\frac{1}{\kappa}(\frac{1}{2}C_{o}V_{o}^{2})$

$PE_{f} =\frac{PE_{i}}{\kappa}$

Finally

$PE_{f} =0.5\ PE_{i}$
