A ball is attached to one end of a wire, the other end being fastened to the ceiling. The wire is held horizontal, and the ball

is released from rest (see the drawing). It swings downward and strikes a block initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible, and the collision is elastic. The masses of the ball and block are, respectively, 1.6 kg and 2.5 kg, and the length of the wire is 1.35 m. Find the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the ball (a) just before the collision, and (b) just after the collision.

Answer:

the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the ball)  just before the collision is v_i = 5.144 \ m/s

The  velocity (magnitude and direction) of the ball)  just after  the collision is v_f = - 1.129  \ m/s

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy;

m__{ball}} gh = \frac{1}{2}m__{ball}}v_i^2\\\\2* m__{ball}} gh = m__{ball}}v_i^2\\\\v_i^2 = \frac{2*m_{ball}gh}{m_{ball}}\\\\v_i^2 = 2gh\\\\v_i = \sqrt{2gh} \\\\v_i = \sqrt{2*9.8*1.35}\\\\

v_i = 5.144 \ m/s

Thus; the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the ball)  just before the collision is v_i = 5.144 \ m/s

Since, Air resistance is negligible, and the collision is elastic.

The equation for the conservation of momentum and energy can be expressed as:

v_f = [\frac{m_1 -m_2}{m_1+m_2}]v_i\\\\v_f =  [\frac{m_{ball} -m_{block}}{m_{ball}+m_{block}}]v_i\\\\v_f = [\frac{1.6 -2.5}{1.6+2.5}]*5.144\\\\

v_f = - 1.129  \ m/s

The  velocity (magnitude and direction) of the ball)  just after  the collision is v_f = - 1.129  \ m/s

All of the following processes are the ones that lead directly to the formation of sedimentary rock EXCEPT-
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

melting of rock deep underground.

Explanation:

The melting of rocks deep underground does not produce sedimentary rocks. Most igneous rocks are produced by this process.

When molten rocks underground called magma is solidified in the subsurface, it results into the formation of igneous bodies.

  • Sedimentary rocks forms by the accumulation of sediments.
  • Inside the basin where the sediments are deposited, they are compacted, cemented and lithified.
  • Chemical and physical weathering of rocks produces sediments.

The Moon orbits Earth in an average of p = 27.3 days at an average distance of a =384,000 kilometers. Using Newton’s version of
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The mass of the earth, M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg

Explanation:

It is given that,

Time taken by the moon to orbit the earth, T=27.3\ days=2358720\ m

Distance between moon and the earth,r=384000\ km=384\times 10^6\ m

We need to find the mass of the Earth using Kepler's third law of motion as :

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3

M=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{T^2G}

M=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times (384\times 10^6)^3}{(2358720)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}

M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg

So, the mass of the earth is 6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

Metals are used in many products because of the characteristic properties that most metals share. Which properties of the metal
Anastaziya [24]

The most important characteristics that are exhibited by metals are-

1- Metals are ductile

2-Most metals are conductive in nature.

3-Most metals are malleable.

4- Metals have strong inter molecular force of attraction between the.

5-Metals have luster.

6-Metals are sonorous.

Here we are given Tungsten filament.

Tungsten is  a metal.So it must be conductive and as well as ductile in nature.

The electric filament that we are using in our electric bulb glows due to the heating effect of current.Hence the chosen substances for glowing electric bulb must have high melting point.

The melting point of tungsten is 1650 degree celsius which is very high.That's why it is used in electric bulb.

Hence the correct answer to the question is the third one i.e Tungsten is ductile,has a high melting point, and is electrically conductive.

1. All the relevant resistors are in series, so the total (or equivalent) resistance is the sum of the resistances of the resistors: 20 Ω + 80 Ω + 50 Ω = 150 Ω [choice A].

2. The ammeter will read the current flowing through this circuit. We can find the ammeter reading using Ohm's law in terms of the electromotive force provided by the battery: I = ℰ/R = (30 V)(150 Ω) = 0.20 A [choice C].

3. The voltmeter will measure the potential drop across the 50 Ω resistor, i.e., the voltage at that resistor. We know from question 2 that the current flowing through the resistor is 0.20 A. So, from Ohm's law, V = IR = (0.20 A)(50 Ω) = 10. V, which will be the voltmeter reading [choice F].

4. Trick question? If the circuit becomes open, then no current will flow. Moreover, even if the voltmeter were kept as element of the circuit, voltmeters generally have a very high resistance (an ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance), so the current moving through the circuit will be negligible if not nil. In any case, the ammeter reading would be 0 A [choice B].

The true statements about magnetic fields and forces will be A,D and E.

<h3>What is a magnet?</h3>

An iron piece,alloy, or other substance with its constituent atoms arranged in such a way that it shows magnetism qualities,

The function of the magnet is attracting other iron-containing objects or aligning itself in a magnetic field.

There are two poles of the magnet;

1. North Pole.

2. South Pole.

The same poles repel each other, while the opposite poles attract each other. In a sense, south-south and north-north repel. While the north-south and the south-north attract each other.

The correct statements are;

(A). The north pole attracts the south pole of a magnet.

(D)Forces caused by magnetic fields are weaker farther from the magnet.

(E)Magnetic forces can act on an object even if the object isn't touching the magnet.

Hence, the true statements about magnetic fields and forces will be A,D and E.
