The puzzle box is traditionally associated with the work of

Three small balls of the same size but different masses are hung side-by-side in parallel on the strings of same length. They to

Answer:

m1/6 ( c )

Explanation:

since all the balls starts having the same momentum after the two collisions we will apply the principal of conservation of energy

After first collision

m1v = m1v1 + m2v2 --- ( 1 )

After second collision

m2v2 = m2v2 + m3v3 ---- ( 2 )

combining equations 1 and 2

m1v = m1v1 + m2v2 + m3v3 ----- ( 3 )

All balls moving at the same momentum ( p ) = m1v1 = m2v2 = m3v3

note ; 3p = m1v ∴ m3 = $\frac{m1v}{3v3}$ ----- ( 4 )

applying conservation of energy

3v = v1 + v2 + v3 ------- ( 5 )

also 3m1v1 = m1v = v1 = v/3 =

v2 + v3 = 8/3 v ----- ( 6 )

next eliminate V3 for equation 6 by applying conservation of energy and momentum

m1 = 2m2 ------ ( 7 )

now using p1 = p2 = m1v1 = 1/2 m1v1 hence v2 = 2v1 where v1 = 1/3 v

hence ; v2 = 2/3 v ------- ( 8 )

solving with equation 6 and 8

v3 = 2v ------ ( 9 ) ∴ v/v3 = 1/2 ---- ( 10 )

solving with equation 9 and 10

m3 = m1/3 * 1/2 = m1/6

Explain how you know the car is accelerating when it reaches a curve on the road

horrorfan [7]

Acceleration is a Vector, so speed and direction. If you change your direction you are also changing your acceleration because it's a vector.

a horizontal force of 100N is required to push a crate across a factory floor at a constant speed. What is the net force acting

Bas_tet [7]

If the crate is moving along the floor in the same direction with a constant speed, it is in dynamic equilibrium. Equilibrium means there is no net force acting on the crate.

Since there is no net force on the crate, there must be a friction force on the crate equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the applied horizontal force. Therefore the force of friction acting on the crate is 100N.
