<u>Answer</u>:

The velocity of the tennis racket after the collision 14.966 m/s.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

let the following:

m₁ = mass of tennis racket = 0.311 kg

m₂ = mass of the ball = 0.057 kg

u₁ = velocity of tennis racket before collision = 30.3 m/s

u₂ = velocity of the ball before collision = -19.2 m/s

v₁ = velocity of tennis racket after collision

v₂ = velocity of the ball after collision

Right (+) , Left (-)

An elastic collision is an encounter between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains the same.

So, the total kinetic energy before collision = the total kinetic energy after collision.

So, 0.5 m₁ u₁² + 0.5 m₂ u₂² = 0.5 m₁ v₁² + 0.5 m₂ v₂² ⇒ (1)

Also, the total momentum before collision = the total momentum after collision.

So, m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ ⇒ (2)

Solving (1) and (2):

∴ v₁ = [ u₁ * (m₁ - m₂) + u₂ * 2m₂ ]/ (m₁ + m₂)

= ( 30.3 * (0.311 - 0.057) - 19.2 * 2 * 0.057 ) / ( 0.311 + 0.057)

= 14.966 m/s.

So, the velocity of the tennis racket after the collision 14.966 m/s.

A 16-cm-long straight line connects the center of a turntable to its edge. The turntable rotates counter-clockwise at 45 rpm. A

Bond [772]

Answer:

$\mathbf{V_x = 3.25 \ cm/s}$

$\mathbf{V_y = 1.29\ cm/s}$

Explanation:

Given that:

The radius of the table r = 16 cm = 0.16 m

The angular velocity = 45 rpm

= $45 \times \dfrac{1}{60}(2 \pi)$

= 4.71 rad/s

However, the relative velocity of the bug with turntable is:

v = 3.5 cm/s = 0.035 m/s

Thus, the time taken to reach the bug to the end is:

$t = \dfrac{r}{v}$

$t = \dfrac{0.16}{0.035}$

t = 4.571s

So the angle made by the radius r with the horizontal during the time the bug gets to the end is:

$\theta = \omega t$

$\theta = 4.712 \times 4.571$

$\theta = 21.54^0$

Now, the velocity components of the bug with respect to the table is:

$V_x = Vcos \theta$

$V_x = 0.035 \times cos (21.54^0)$

$V_x = 0.0325 \ m/s$

$\text {V_x = 3.25 \ cm/s}$ $\mathbf{V_x = 3.25 \ cm/s}$

Also, for the vertical component of the velocity $V_y$

$V_y = V sin \theta$

$V_y = 0.035 \times sin (21.54^0)$

$V_y = 0.0129\ m/s$

$\mathbf{V_y = 1.29\ cm/s}$

A small object carrying a charge of -4.00 nC is acted upon by a downward force of 19.0 nN when placed at a certain point in an e

Gala2k [10]

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge acting on the object, $q=-4\ nC=-4\times 10^{-9}\ C$

Force acting on the object, $F=19\ nC=19\times 10^{-9}\ C$ (in downward direction)

(a) The electric force acting in the electric field is given by :

$F=qE$

E is the electric field

$E=\dfrac{F}{q}$

$E=\dfrac{19\times 10^{-9}\ N}{4\times 10^{-9}\ C}$

E = 4.75 N/C

The direction of electric field is as same as electric force. But it is negative charge. So, the direction of electric field is in upward direction.

(b) The charge on the proton is, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

The force acting on the proton is :

$F=qE$

$F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 4.75$

$F=7.6\times 10^{-19}\ N$

If the charge on the proton is positive, the force on the proton is in upward direction.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 150 kg car hits a wall with 45 N of force, what was its acceleration?

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

a = 0.3 m/s²

Explanation:

Given: 45 N, 150 kg

To find: a

Formula: $a = \frac{F}{m}$

Solution: To find a, divide the force by the weight

A = F ÷ m

= 45 ÷ 150

= 0.3 m/s²

Newtons are derived units, equal to 1 kg-m/s². In other words, a single Newton is equal to the force needed to accelerate one kilogram one meter per second squared.
