<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.

agasfer [191]

Answer:

I₂ = I₀  1/4

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the definition of intensity which is the power per unit area

         I = P / A

The emitted power is constant, so

     P = I A

We can write this equation for the start and end point with index 2

    I₀ A₀ = I₂ A₂

    I₂ = I₀ A₀ / A₂

The spot area is the area of ​​the circle

      A₀ = π r₀²

We substitute

     I₂ = I₀ r₀² / r₂²

It indicates that the radius of the spot is twice the initial radius

      r₂ = 2 r₀

      I₂ = I₀ (r₀ / 2 r₀)²

      I₂ = I₀  1/4
