Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_1v_2$

Where :

$m_1, m_2$ = masses of object collided

$u_1,u_2$ = initial velocity before collision

$v_1,v_2$ = final velocity after collision

We have :

Two equal-mass carts roll towards each other.

$m_1=m_2=M$

Initial velocity of $m_1=u_1=2 m/s$

Initial velocity of $m_2=u_2=-1 m/s$ (opposite direction)

Final velocity of $m_1=v_1=v$ (same direction )

Final velocity of $m_2=v_2=v$ (same direction)

$M\times 2 m/s+M(-1 m/s)=Mv+Mv$

$1 m/s=2v$

v = 0.5 m/s

The speed of the carts after their collision is 0.5 m/s.

An electron enters a region with a speed of 5×10^6m/s and is slowed down at the rate of 1.25×10^-4m/s². How far does the electro

Mashutka [201]

1) The distance travelled by the electron is $1\cdot 10^{17} m$

2) The time taken is $4.0\cdot 10^{10}s$

Explanation:

1)

The electron in this problem is moving by uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration), so we can use the following suvat equation

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance travelled

For the electron in this problem,

$u=5\cdot 10^6 m/s$ is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity (it comes to a stop)

$a=-1.25\cdot 10^{-4} m/s^2$ is the acceleration

Solving for s, we find the distance travelled:

$s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{0-(5\cdot 10^6)^2}{2(-1.25\cdot 10^{-4})}=1\cdot 10^{17} m$

2)

The total time taken for the electron in its motion can also be found by using another suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

Here we have

$u=5\cdot 10^6 m/s$

v = 0

$a=-1.25\cdot 10^{-4} m/s^2$

And solving for t, we find the time taken:

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-5\cdot 10^6}{-1.25\cdot 10^{-4}}=4.0\cdot 10^{10}s$

A SMA wire in the un-stretched condition is then given an initial strain of εo (to preload the wire) at room temperature (RT). I

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer: tensional force

Explanation:

Tension force on a material occurs when two equal forces act on a material in an opposite direction away from the ends of the material.

Pre-tensing a wire material increases its load bearing capacity and reduces its flexure.

Two equally charged insulating balls each weigh 0.16 g and hang from a common point by identical threads 35 cm long. The balls r

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Q₁ = Q₂ = 8.84 x 10⁻⁹ C

Explanation:

given,

mass of ball, m = 0.16 g = 1.6 x 10⁻⁴ Kg

ball each other, r = 6.8 cm

Weight of the ball

F_w = m g

F_w = 1.6 x 10⁻⁴ x 9.8

F_w = 1.56 x 10⁻³ N

The tension in each string is a force directed along the length of the string and is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

we have to find the horizontal component of the forces.

The length of the string,L is 35 cm so, it will be the hypotenuse.

θ be the angle made with imaginary vertical line and the string.

now,

$sin \theta = \dfrac{r\2}{L}$

$sin \theta = \dfrac{3.4}{35}$

θ = 5.57°

horizontal component of the force = ?

vertical component of force,F_v = 1.56 x 10⁻³ N

$tan\theta = \dfrac{F_H}{F_v}$

$tan(5.57^0) = \dfrac{F_H}{1.56\times 10^{-3}}$

F_h = 1.52 x 10⁻⁴ N

now, each ball will be repelled by

F = 1.52 x 10⁻⁴ N

now calculation of charges

$F = \dfrac{kQ_1Q_2}{r^2}$

Q₁ = Q₂ because both charge are same

$1.52\times 10^{-4} = \dfrac{9\times10^9Q^2}{0.068^2}$

Q² = 7.809 x 10⁻¹⁷

Q = 8.84 x 10⁻⁹ C

hence the change on the balls were Q₁ = Q₂ = 8.84 x 10⁻⁹ C

a player passes a 0.600kg basketball down court for a fast break.the ball leaves the player hands with a speed of 8.30m/s and sl

Setler79 [48]

At the release point, the ball has kinetic energy,

$\dfrac12m{v_0}^2$

and at its maximum height it has potential and kinetic energy,

$-mgy+\dfrac12mv^2$

where $y$ is the maximum height attained above the release point.

The LoCoE tells us that we should have

$\dfrac12m{v_0}^2=-mgy+\dfrac12 mv^2$

$\implies v^2-{v_0}^2=-2gy$

$\implies\left(7.20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-\left(8.30\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=-2\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)y$

$\implies y=0.870\,\mathrm m$
