In an elastic collision momentum is conserved as well as the kinetic energy

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of collisions:

Elastic collision: in an elastic collision, the total momentum of the system is conserved, and the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved as well. This is because there are no internal frictions acting on the system, so the energy is conserved. An example of elastic collision is (approximately) that occurring between two billiard balls.
Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the system is conserved, while the total kinetic energy is not. In fact, due to the presence of internal frictions, part of the total energy is converted into thermal energy and sound during the collision, and therefore "wasted", so the final total kinetic energy is less than the initial one. An example of inelastic collision is the collision between two cars. The maximum amount of kinetic energy is lost when the two objects stick together after the collision; in this case, we talk about perfectly inelastic collision.

Therefore, the complete sentence is

In an elastic collision momentum is conserved as well as the kinetic energy

Explanation:

Momentum of the system is a constant when there aren't external forces..

So,When first Balls velocity is went down to zero... its momentum is also zero and beacause momentum should be a constant...now second ball must have a momentum of 20 kg * m/s

Unpolarized light with intensity 370 W/m2 passes first through a polarizing filter with its axis vertical, then through a second

vampirchik [111]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given by Malus regarding the Intensity of light.

From the law of Malus intensity can be defined as

$I' = \frac{I_0}{2} cos^2 \theta$

Where

$\theta =$ Angle From vertical of the axis of the polarizing filter

$I_0 =$ Intensity of the unpolarized light

The expression for the intensity of the light after passing through the first filter is given by

$I = \frac{I_0}{2}$

Replacing we have that

$I = \frac{370}{2}$

$I = 185W/m^2$

Re-arrange the equation,

$I'= \frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta$

Re-arrange to find \theta

$cos^2\theta = \frac{2I'}{I_0}$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{2*138}{370}$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{2*138}{370}})$

$\theta = 0.5282rad$

$\theta = 30.27\°$

The value of the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter is equal to 30.2°

Two charges, each 9 µC, are on the x axis, one at the origin and the other at x = 8 m. Find the electric field on the x axis at

bearhunter [10]

a) Electric field at x = -2 m: 21,060 N/C to the left

b) Electric field at x = 2 m: 18,000 N/C to the right

c) Electric field at x = 6 m: 18,000 N/C to the left

d) Electric field at x = 10 m: 21,060 N/C to the right

e) Electric field is zero at x = 4 m

Explanation:

The electric field produced by a single-point charge is given by

$E=k\frac{q}{r^2}$

where:

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

q is the magnitude of the charge

r is the distance from the charge

Here we have two charges of

$q=9\mu C = 9\cdot 10^{-6} C$

each. Therefore, the net electric field at any point in the space will be given by the vector sum of the two electric fields. The two charges are both positive, so the electric field points outward of the charge.

We call the charge at x = 0 as $q_0$ , and the charge at x = 8 m as $q_8$ .

For a point located at x = -2 m, both the fields $E_0$ and $E_8$ produced by the two charges point to the left, so the net field is the sum of the two fields in the negative direction:

$E=-\frac{kq_0}{(0-x)^2}-\frac{kq_8}{(8-x)^2}=-kq(\frac{1}{(-2)^2}+\frac{1}{(8-(-2))^2})=-21060 N/C$

In this case, we are analyzing a point located at

x = 2 m

The field produced by the charge at x = 0 here points to the right, while the field produced by the charge at x = 8 m here points to the left. Therefore, the net field is given by the difference between the two fields, so:

$E=\frac{kq_0}{(0-x)^2}-\frac{kq_8}{(8-x)^2}=kq(\frac{1}{(2)^2}-\frac{1}{(8-2)^2})=18000 N/C$

And since the sign is positive, the direction is to the right.

In this case, we are considering a point located at

x = 6 m

The field produced by the charge at x = 0 here points to the right again, while the field produced by the charge at x = 8 m here points to the left. Therefore, the net field is given by the difference between the two fields, as before; so:

$E=\frac{kq_0}{(0-x)^2}-\frac{kq_8}{(8-x)^2}=kq(\frac{1}{(6)^2}-\frac{1}{(8-6)^2})=-18000 N/C$

And the negative sign indicates that the electric field in this case is towards the left.

In this case, we are considering a point located at

x = 10 m

This point is located to the right of both charges: therefore, the field produced by the charge at x = 0 here points to the right, and the field produced by the charge at x = 8 m here points to the right as well. Therefore, the net field is given by the sum of the two fields:

$E=\frac{kq_0}{(0-x)^2}+\frac{kq_8}{(8-x)^2}=kq(\frac{1}{(10)^2}+\frac{1}{(8-(10))^2})=21060 N/C$

And the positive sign means the field is to the right.

We want to find the point with coordinate x such that the electric field at that location is zero. This point must be in between x = 0 and x = 8, because that is the only region where the two fields have opposite directions. Therefore, te net field must be

$E=\frac{kq_0}{(0-x)^2}-\frac{kq_8}{(8-x)^2}=kq(\frac{1}{(-x)^2}-\frac{1}{(8-x)^2})=0$
