To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. This can be defined as the product between the mass and the velocity of each object, and by conservation it will be understood that the amount of the initial momentum is equal to the amount of the final momentum. By the law of conservation of momentum,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Here,

m_1 = Mass of Basketball

m_2 = Mass of Tennis ball

u_1 = Initial velocity of Basketball

u_2 = Initial Velocity of Tennis ball

v_1 = Final velocity of Basketball

v_2 = Final velocity of the tennis ball

Replacing,

(0.8)(0.5)+(0.1)(-5.0)=(0.8)(0.3)+(0.1)v_2

Solving for the final velocity of the tennis ball

v_2 = 11m/s^2

Therefore the velocity of the tennis ball after collision is 11 m/s

A 0.80 kg basketball traveling upward at 5.0 m/s impacts an 8.0 x 10^{-2} kg tennis ball traveling  downward at 5.0 m/s. The basketball’s velocity after the collision is 3.0 m/s upward. What is the  velocity of the tennis ball after the collision?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

15m/s

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that "in the absence of external forces, the linear momentum of colliding bodies before and after collision does not change".

This means that total linear momentum of colliding bodies before collision is the same after collision.

The momentum (P) of a body is the motion that the body has and it is given by the product of the mass (m) of the body and its velocity (v). i.e

P = m x v

Using this principle, lets solve the problem;

Momentum of basket ball before collision + Momentum of tennis ball before collision

    =

Momentum of basket ball after collision + Momentum of tennis ball after collision.

Let;

upward motion be positive and downward be negative.

Also let,

m_{B} = mass of basketball = 0.80kg

m_{T} = mass of tennis ball = 8 x 10^{-2}kg = 0.08kg

u_{B} = initial velocity of the basket ball before collision = +5.0m/s (since motion is upwards).

u_{T} = initial velocity of the tennis ball before collision = -5.0m/s (since motion is downwards).

v_{B} = final velocity of the basketball after collision = +3.0m/s (since motion is upwards).

v_{T} = final velocity of the tennis ball after collision.

Therefore,

Momentum of basket ball before collision = m_{B} x u_{B}

Momentum of tennis ball before collision = m_{T} x u_{T}

Momentum of basket ball after collision = m_{B} x v_{B}

Momentum of tennis ball after collision = m_{T} x v_{T}

=> (m_{B} x u_{B}) + (m_{T} x u_{T}) = (m_{B} x v_{B}) + (m_{T} x v_{T})

Substituting the values into the above equation gives;

=> (0.8 x 5.0) + (0.08 x -5.0) = (0.8 x 3.0) + (0.08 x v_{T})

=> (0.8 x 5.0) - (0.08 x 5.0) = (0.8 x 3.0) + (0.08 x v_{T})

=> (4) - (0.4) = (2.4) + (0.08v_{T})

=> 3.6 = 2.4 + 0.08v_{T}

=> 0.08v_{T} = 3.6 - 2.4

=> 0.08v_{T} = 1.2

=> v_{T} = \frac{1.2}{0.08}

=> v_{T} = 15m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the tennis ball after the collision is 15m/s

Question 4 (18 marks) (a) During a Physics Lab experiment, 1 st year SFY students analyzed the behavior of capacitors by connect
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

1.) 274.5v

2.) 206.8v

Explanation:

1.) Given that In one part of the lab activities, students connected a 2.50 µF capacitor to a 746 V power source, whilst connected a second 6.80 µF capacitor to a 562 V source.

The potential difference and charge across EACH capacitor will be

V = Voe

Where Vo = initial voltage

e = natural logarithm = 2.718

For the first capacitor 2.50 µF,

V = Vo × 2.718

746 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 746/2.718

Vo = 274.5v

To calculate the charge, use the below formula.

Q = CV

Q = 2.5 × 10^-6 × 274.5

Q = 6.86 × 10^-4 C

For the second capacitor 6.80 µF 

V = Voe

562 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 562/2.718

Vo = 206.77v

The charge on it will be

Q = CV

Q = 6.8 × 10^-6 × 206.77

Q = 1.41 × 10^-3 C

B.) Using the formula V = Voe again

165 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 165 /2.718

Vo = 60.71v

Q = C × 60.71

Q = C

If the value of static friction for a couch is 400N, what could be a possible value of its kinetic friction? *
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

kinetic friction may be greater than 400 N or smaller than 400 N

Explanation:

As we know that maximum value of static friction on the rough surface is known as limiting friction and the formula of this limiting friction is known as

F_s = \mu_s N

now when object is sliding on the rough surface then the friction force on that surface is known as kinetic friction and the formula of kinetic friction is known as

F_k = \mu_k N

now we know that

\mu_k < \mu_s

so here value of limiting static friction force is always more than kinetic friction

also we know that

initially when body is at rest then static friction value will lie from 0 N to maximum limiting friction

and hence kinetic friction may be greater than static friction or if the static friction is maximum limiting friction then kinetic friction is smaller than static friction

so kinetic friction may be greater than 400 N or smaller than 400 N

We can see Objects because of
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

I believe it's A.)

Explanation:

Although light comes into our atmosphere through refraction, it reaches our eyes only through reflection from objects. So when light rays reflect off an object and enter the eyes through the cornea you can then see that object.

Hope this helps you out : )

O How are electricity and magnetism related?
Nataly [62]
Magnetism is the product of a moving charged particle. We can have electricity without magnetism but we can not have magnetism without electricity.An electro magnet is made so that we have a soft metal core and electricity around it. A bar magnet is a normal magnet in bar shape with permanent magnetism.
