Answer:
It increases to three times it's original value.
Explanation:
B
Answer:
Vrel_jon's = 15 [m/s] to the right
Explanation:
Relative velocity is defined as the relative motion between two bodies, taking into account the directions of motion.
Relative velocity is defined as the relative motion between two bodies, taking into account the directions of motion. The relative velocity is defined as the algebraic sum of the velocities, if the movements are opposite the vectors are subtracted, as will be done below.
Vrel = 20 - 5 = 15 [m/s]
A person watching Jon sees him moving to the right at a speed of 15 [m/s]
The solution for this problem is:
Let u denote speed.
Equating momentum before and after collision:
= 0.060 * 40 = (1.5 + 0.060) u
= 2.4 = 1.56 u
= 2.4 / 1.56 = 1.56 u / 1.56
= 1.6 m / s is the answer for this question. This is the speed after the collision.
The number we need in order to answer the question belongs in the space between the words "is" and "of". You left that blank blank, so there really isn't any question here to answer.
HOWEVER ... the refractive index of a medium can never be less than 1.0 , so we know for sure that <em>choice-a can't be</em> the correct answer.
The kinetic energy of the small ball before the collision is
KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²
= (1/2) (2 kg) (1.5 m/s)
= (1 kg) (2.25 m²/s²)
= 2.25 joules.
Now is a good time to review the Law of Conservation of Energy:
Energy is never created or destroyed.
If it seems that some energy disappeared,
it actually had to go somewhere.
And if it seems like some energy magically appeared,
it actually had to come from somewhere.
The small ball has 2.25 joules of kinetic energy before the collision.
If the small ball doesn't have a jet engine on it or a hamster inside,
and does not stop briefly to eat spinach, then there won't be any
more kinetic energy than that after the collision. The large ball
and the small ball will just have to share the same 2.25 joules.
