A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axi

s.Just before the collision,one ball,of mass 3.0 kg,is moving up- ward at 20 m/s and the other ball, of mass 2.0 kg, is moving down- ward at 12 m/s. How high do the combined two balls of putty rise above the collision point

Answer:

y=2.64m

Explanation:

Given data

Ball one

mass m₁=3.0kg

velocity v₁=20 m/s

Ball second

mass m₂=2.0 kg

velocity v₂=12 m/s

First we need the speed of combined ball.Since the system conserves the linear momentum

p_{i}=p_{f}\\m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{t}v_{t}

So the combined velocity vt is:

v_{t}=\frac{m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}}{m_{t}}\\

Since the two balls 1 and 2 are moving in opposite direction

So

v_{t}=\frac{m_{1}v_{1}-m_{2}v_{2}}{m_{t}}\\

Substitute the given values

v_{t}=\frac{(3kg)(20m/s)-(2kg)(12m/s)}{(3+2)kg}\\ v_{t}=7.2 m/s

We have the equation for motion with constant acceleration is given by:

v^2=v_{o}^2+2g(y-y_{o})\\

At initial position y₀=0 and vt=v-v₀

So

v^{2}=v_{o}^2+2g(y-0)\\ y=\frac{v^2-v_{o}^2}{2g}\\ y=\frac{v_{t}^2}{2g}\\ y=\frac{(7.2m/s)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)}\\ y=2.64m

Answer:

3.33, 4.84

Explanation:

A) Actual coefficient of performance can be calculated by the formula stated below

Actual COP = heat delivered/ work required

Actual COP = 2,000/600

Actual COP = 3.33

B) Th = High temperature = 80°C + 273 = 353K

Tl = Low temperature = 7°C + 273 = 280K

The theoretical maximum coefficient of performance can ve calculated by the formula

Theoretical COP = Th/(Th-Tl)

Theoretical COP = 353/(353-280)

Theoretical COP = 353/73

Theoretical COP = 4.84

The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. the car slows uniformly with acceleration of -5.9
Hatshy [7]
Let u =  the speed of the car at the instant when braking begins.

The braking distance is s = 62.3 m, the acceleration is a = -5.9 m/s², and the braking duration is t = 4.15 s.

Use the formula s = ut + (1/2)at² to obtain
(u m/s)*(4.15 s) + 0.5*(-5.9 m/s²)*(4.5 s)² = (62.3 m)
4.15u = 62.3 + 50.8064 = 113.1064
      u = 27.2546 m/s

Let v m/s be the speed with which the car strikes the tree.
Then
v = 27.2546 - 5.9*4.15
   = 2.7696 m/s

Answer: 2.77 m/s (nearest hundredth)

A child uses a rubber band to launch a bottle cap at an angle of 37.0° above the horizontal. The cap travels a horizontal distan
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Initial velocity will be 1.356 m/sec      

Explanation:

Let the initial speed = u

Angle at which rubber band is launched = 37°

Horizontal component of initial velocity u_x=ucos\Theta =ucos37^{\circ}=0.7986u

Time is given as t = 1.20 sec

Distance in horizontal direction = 1.30 m

We know that distance = speed × time

So time t=\frac{distance}{speed}

1.20=\frac{1.3}{0.7986u}

u=1.356m/sec

So initial velocity will be 1.356 m/sec
