Answer:

Check Explanation.

Explanation:

Momentum before collision = (2)(2) + (2)(0) = 4 kgm/s

a) Scenario A

After collision, Mass A sticks to Mass B and they move off with a velocity of 1 m/s

Momentum after collision = (sum of the masses) × (common velocity) = (2+2) × (1) = 4 kgm/s

Which is equal to the momentum before collision, hence, momentum is conserved.

Scenario B

They bounce off of each other and move off in the same direction, mass A moves with a speed of 0.5 m/s and mass B moves with a speed of 1.5 m/s

Momentum after collision = (2)(0.5) + (2)(1.5) = 1 + 3 = 4.0 kgm/s

This is equal to the momentum before collision too, hence, momentum is conserved.

Scenario C

Mass A comes to rest after collision and mass B moves off with a speed of 2 m/s

Momentum after collision = (2)(0) + (2)(2) = 0 + 4 = 4.0 kgm/s

This is equal to the momentum before collision, hence, momentum is conserved.

b) Kinetic energy is normally conserved in a perfectly elastic collision, if the two bodies do not stick together after collision and kinetic energy isn't still conserved, then the collision is termed partially inelastic.

Kinetic energy before collision = (1/2)(2.00)(2.00²) + (1/2)(2)(0²) = 4.00 J.

Scenario A

After collision, Mass A sticks to Mass B and they move off with a velocity of 1 m/s

Kinetic energy after collision = (1/2)(2+2)(1²) = 2.0 J

Kinetic energy lost = (kinetic energy before collision) - (kinetic energy after collision) = 4 - 2 = 2.00 J

Kinetic energy after collision isn't equal to kinetic energy before collision. This collision is evidently totally inelastic.

Scenario B

They bounce off of each other and move off in the same direction, mass A moves with a speed of 0.5 m/s and mass B moves with a speed of 1.5 m/s

Kinetic energy after collision = (1/2)(2)(0.5²) + (1/2)(2)(1.5²) = 0.25 + 3.75 = 4.0 J

Kinetic energy lost = 4 - 4 = 0 J

Kinetic energy after collision is equal to kinetic energy before collision. Hence, this collision is evidently elastic.

Scenario C

Mass A comes to rest after collision and mass B moves off with a speed of 2 m/s

Kinetic energy after collision = (1/2)(2)(0²) + (1/2)(2)(2²) = 4.0 J

Kinetic energy lost = 4 - 4 = 0 J

Kinetic energy after collision is equal to kinetic energy before collision. Hence, this collision is evidently elastic.

c) An impossible outcome of such a collision is that A stocks to B and they both move off together at 1.414 m/s.

In this scenario,

Kinetic energy after collision = (1/2)(2+2)(1.414²) = 4.0 J

This kinetic energy after collision is equal to the kinetic energy before collision and this satisfies the conservation of kinetic energy.

But the collision isn't possible because, the momentum after collision isn't equal to the momentum before collision.

Momentum after collision = (2+2)(1.414) = 5.656 kgm/s

which is not equal to the 4.0 kgm/s obtained before collision.

This is an impossible result because in all types of collision or explosion, the second law explains that first of all, the momentum is always conserved. And this evidently violates the rule. Hence, it is not possible.

Three cars (car F, car G, and car H) are moving with the same speed and slam on their brakes. The most massive car is car F, and

Crazy boy [7]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Normal Force, frictional force, kinematic equations of motion and Newton's second law.

From the kinematic equations of motion we know that the relationship of acceleration, velocity and distance is given by

$v_f^2=v_i^2+2ax$

Where,

$v_f =$ Final velocity

$v_i =$ Initial Velocity

a = Acceleration

x = Displacement

Acceleration can be expressed in terms of the drag coefficient by means of

$F_f = \mu_k (mg) \rightarrow$ Frictional Force

$F = ma \rightarrow$ Force by Newton's second Law

Where,

m = mass

a= acceleration

$\mu_k =$ Kinetic frictional coefficient

g = Gravity

Equating both equation we have that

$F_f = F$

$\mu_k mg=ma$

$a = \mu_k g$

Therefore,

$v_f^2=v_i^2+2ax$

$0=v_i^2+2(\mu_k g)x$

Re-arrange to find x,

$x = \frac{v_i^2}{2(-\mu_k g)}$

The distance traveled by the car depends on the coefficient of kinetic friction, acceleration due to gravity and initial velocity, therefore the three cars will stop at the same distance.

A satellite orbits earth with a mean altitude of 361 km. If the orbit is circular, what are the satellite's time period and spee

Advocard [28]

Answer:

v = 7.69 x 10³ m/s = 7690 m/s

T = 5500 s = 91.67 min = 1.53 h

Explanation:

In order for the satellite to orbit the earth, the force of gravitation on satellite must be equal to the centripetal force acting on it:

$F_{gravitation}= F_{centripetal}\\\\\frac{GM_{s} M_{E}}{r^2} = \frac{M_{s} v^2}{r}\\\\\frac{GM_{E}}{r} = v^2\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{GM_{E}}{r} } \\\\$

where,

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

Me = Mass of Earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

r = distance between the center of Earth and Satellite = Radius of Earth + Altitude = 6.371 x 10⁶ m + 0.361 x 10⁶ m = 6.732 x 10⁶ m

v = orbital speed = ?

Therefore,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67 x 10^{-11}N.m^2/kg^2)(5.97 x 10^{24} kg)}{6.732 x 10^6 m} }\\\\$

For time period satellite completes one revolution around the earth. It means that the distance covered by satellite is equal to circumference of circle at the given altitude.

So, its orbital speed can be given as:

$v = \frac{Circumference of Circle at Given Altitude}{T}\\\\v = \frac{2\pi r}{T}\\\\$

where,

T = Time Period of Satellite = ?

Therefore,

$T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}\\\\T = \frac{(2\pi )(6.732 x 10^6 m}{7.69 x 10^3 m/s}\\\\$

Imagine that Kevin can instantly transport himself between Planet X and Planet Y. Which statement could be said about Kevin in t

Over [174]

What are the choices ?

Without some directed choices, I'm, free to make up any
reasonable statement that could be said about Kevin in this
situation. A few of them might be . . .

-- Kevin will have no trouble getting back in time for dinner.

-- Kevin will have no time to enjoy the scenery along the way.

-- Some simple Physics shows us that Kevin is out of his mind.
He can't really do that.

   -- Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

If time to cover the distance is zero, then speed is huge (infinite).

   -- Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)² .

If speed is huge (infinite), then kinetic energy is huge squared (even more).
There is not enough energy in the galaxy to push Kevin to that kind of speed.

   -- Mass = (Kevin's rest-mass) / √(1 - v²/c²)

-- As soon as Kevin reaches light-speed, his mass becomes infinite.
-- It takes an infinite amount of energy to push him any faster.
-- If he succeeds somehow, his mass becomes imaginary.
-- At that point, he might as well turn around and go home ...
   if he ever reached Planet-Y, nobody could see him anyway.
