How do you find the velocity after a collision

Physics

1 answer:

Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago

Answer:

In a collision, the velocity change is always computed by subtracting the initial velocity value from the final velocity value. If an object is moving in one direction before a collision and rebounds or somehow changes direction, then its velocity after the collision has the opposite direction as before.

If you wanted to estimate how much money a certain appliance costs you, how would you do it?

serious [3.7K]

Interesting question.

There are a number of factors that may attribute to the pricing of an item say quality of material, number of special features available, and certainly a common notion of brand value (e.g H&M vs GUCCI). Of course, it does not necessarily mean more face value = more expensive.

Typically, to estimate, I would check the brand and material component.

A rifle fires a 2.01 10-2-kg pellet straight upward, because the pellet rests on a compressed spring that is released when the t

Zina [86]

Answer:

The value of spring constant is 266.01 $\frac{N}{m}$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of pellet $m = 2.01 \times 10^{-2}$ kg

Height difference of pellet rise $h_{f} - h_{o} = 6.03$ m

Spring compression $x = 9.45 \times 10^{-2}$ m

From energy conservation law,

Spring potential energy is stored into potential energy,

$mg(h_{f} -h_{o}) = \frac{1}{2} kx^{2}$

Where $k =$ spring constant, $g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$

$k = \frac{2mg(h_{f} -h_{o} )}{x^{2} }$

$k = \frac{2 \times 9.8 \times 6.03\times 2.01 \times 10^{-2} }{(9.45\times 10^{-2} )^{2} }$

$k = 266.01$ $\frac{N}{m}$

Therefore, the value of spring constant is 266.01 $\frac{N}{m}$

How much heat is needed to vaporize 10.00 grams of water at 100.0°C? The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2,259 J/g

Nata [24]

Answer:

Heat of vaporization will be 22.59 j

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 10 gram

And heat of vaporization L = 2.259 J/gram

We have to find the heat required to vaporize 10 gram mass

We know that heat of vaporization is given by $Q=mL$ , here m is mass and L is latent heat of vaporization.

So heat of vaporization Q will be = 10×2.259 = 22.59 J

An air-track glider with a mass of 239 g is moving at 0.81 m/s on a 2.4 m long air track. It collides elastically with a 513 g g

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Glider it stops just when it reaches the end of the runway

Explanation:

This is a shock between two bodies, so we must use the equations of conservation of the amount of movement, in the instant before the crash and the subsequent instant, with this we calculate the second glider speed, as the shock that elastic is also keep it kinetic energy

Po = pf

Ko = Kf

Before crash

Po = m1 Vo1 + 0

Ko = ½ m1 Vo1²

After the crash

Pf = m1 Vif + Vvf

Kf = ½ m1 V1f² + ½ m2 V2f²

m1 V1o = m1 V1f + m2 V2f (1)

m1 V1o² = m1 V1f² + m2 V2f² (2)

We see that we have two equations with two unknowns, so the system is solvable, we substitute in 1 and 2

m1 (V1o -V1f) = m2 V2f (3)

m1 (V1o² - V1f²) = m2 V2f²

Let's use the relationship (a + b) (a-b) = a² -b²

m1 (V1o + V1f) (V1o -V1f) = m2 V2f²

We divide with 3 and simplify

(V1o + V1f) = V2f (4)

Substitute in 3, group and clear

m1 (V1o - V1f) = m2 (V1o + V1f)

m1 V1o - m2 V1o = m2 V1f + m1 V1f

V1f (m1 -m2) = V1o (m1 + m2)

V1f = V1o (m1-m2 / m1+m2)

We substitute in (4) and group

V2f = V1o + (m1-m2 / m1 + m2) V1o

V2f = V1o [1+ + (m1-m2 / m1 + m2)]

V2f = V1o (2m1 / (m1+m2)

We calculate with the given values

V1f = 0.81 (239-513 / 239 + 513)

V1f = 0.81 (-274/752)

V1f = - 0.295 m/s

The negative sign indicates that the planned one moves in the opposite direction to the initial one

V2f = 0.81 [2 239 / (239 + 513)]

V2f = 0.81 [0.636]

V2f = 0.515 m / s

Now we analyze in the second glider movement only, we calculate the energy and since there is no friction,

Eo = Ef

Where Eo is the mechanical energy at the lowest point and Ef is the mechanical energy at the highest point

Eo = K = ½ m2 vf2²

Ef = U = m2 g Y

½ m2 v2f² = m2 g Y

Y = V2f² / 2g

Y = 0.515²/2 9.8

Y = 0.0147 m

At this height the planned stops, let's use trigonometry to find the height at the end of the track of the track

tan θ = Y / x

Y = x tan θ

The crash occurs in the middle of the track whereby x = 1.2 m

Y = 1.2 tan 0.7

Y = 0.147 m

As the two quantities are equal in glider it stops just when it reaches the end of the runway

The city of Istanbul turkey sits on what?

Sati [7]

Istanbul is a transcontinental city in Eurasia, straddling the Bosporus strait (which separates Europe and Asia) between the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea. Its commercial and historical center lies on the European side and about a third of its population lives in suburbs on the Asian side of the Bosporus.
