Particle A and particle B are held together with a compressed spring between them. When they are released, the spring pushes the

m apart, and they then fly off in opposite directions, free of the spring. The mass of A is 3.00 times the mass of B, and the energy stored in the spring was 132 J. Assume that the spring has negligible mass and that all its stored energy is transferred to the particles. Once that transfer is complete, what are the kinetic energies of each particle A and B in Joules?

Answer:

KE_A=33\ J

KE_B=99\ J

Explanation:

Given:

Let mass of the particle B be, m_B=m

then the mass of particle A, m_A=3m

Energy stored in the compressed spring, E=132\ J

Now when the compression of the particles with the spring is released, the spring potential energy must get converted into the kinetic energy of the particles and their momentum must be conserved.

Kinetic energy:

\frac{1}{2}m_A.v_A^2+\frac{1}{2}m_B.v_B^2=132

3m.v_A^2+m.v_B^2=264 .............................(1)

<u>Using the conservation of linear momentum:</u>

m_A.v_A+m_B.v_B=0

3m.v_A+m.v_B=0 .............................(2)

Put the value of v_A from eq. (2) into eq. (1)

3m\times (\frac{-v_B}{3})^2+m.v_B^2=264

v_B^2=\frac{198}{m}  ...........................(3)

<u>Now the kinetic energy of particle B:</u>

KE_B=\frac{1}{2}\times m_B\times v_B^2

KE_B=\frac{1}{2}\times m\times \frac{198}{m}

KE_B=99\ J

Put the value of v_B^2 form eq. (3) into eq. (1):

v_A^2=\frac{22}{m}

<u>Now the kinetic energy of particle A:</u>

<u />KE_A=\frac{1}{2}m_A.v_A^2<u />

<u />KE_B=\frac{1}{2}\times 3m\times \frac{22}{m}<u />

KE_A=33\ J

Explain what is happening when roller coaster is at each point. **The roller coaster has started at A and goes to D.
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

At point A, the cart has high potential energy. At point b, the cart is pulled down by gravity. At point c, the cart gains its highest kinetic energy. At point d, the cart returns back to the same state but with lower potential energy.

A steel ball bearing is released from a height H and
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

ELASTIC collision

kinetic energy is conservate

Explanation:

As the ball bounces to the same height, it can be stated that the impact with the floor is ELASTIC.

As the floor does not move the conservation of the moment

            po = pf

            -mv1 = m v2

- v1 = v2

So the speed with which it descends is equal to the speed with which it rises

Therefore the kinetic energy of the ball before and after the collision is the same

assume the suns total energy output is 4.0 * 10^26 watts, and 1 watt is 1 joule/second. assume 4.3 * 10^-12 J is released from e
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

9.3\cdot 10^{37}

Explanation:

Power is defined as the energy produced (E) per unit of time (t):

P= \frac{E}{t}

This means that the energy produced in the Sun each second (1 s), given the power P=4.0\cdot 10^{26}W, is

E=Pt=(4.0\cdot 10^{26}W)(1s )=4.0\cdot 10^{26} J

Each p-p chain reaction produces an amount of energy of

E_1 = 4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J

in order to get the total number of p-p chain reactions per second, we need to divide the total energy produced per second by the energy produced by each reaction:

n=\frac{E}{E_1}=\frac{4.0\cdot 10^{26} J}{4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J}=9.3\cdot 10^{37}
