<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.

An occupant of a car has a chance of surviving a crash if the deceleration during the crash is not more then 30 g. Calculate the
sweet [91]

Answer:

20,850 N

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using second Newton's Law:

F=ma

where

F is the force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

In this problem, we have:

m = 70 kg is the mass

a=-30 g=-30 (9.8 m/s^2)=-294 m/s^2 is the acceleration (which is negative, because it is a deceleration)

So, we can use the equation above to find the force:

F=(70 kg)(-294 m/s^2)=-20580 N

and the negative sign simply means that the force is in the opposite direction to the motion.

Two point charges, 1.8 pC and −1.8 pC, are separated by 7 µm. What is the dipole moment of this pair of charges?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: 12,600,000Cm

Explanation:

From the data's;

Charges(q) = 1.8 PC equal to 1.8 x 10^¹²C

Distance = 7 micrometer, is equal to 0.0000070m

From the equation of electric dipole moment, p= q x d, where q= charge, d=distance and p is the dipole moment.

Then we have 1.8x10^¹² x 0.0000070= 12,600,000Cm

NB: The charges are identical.
