One billiard ball is shot east at 2.00 m/s. A second, identical billiard ball is shot west at 1.00 m/s. The balls have a glancin

g collision, not a head-on collision, deflecting the second ball by 90° and sending it north at 1.41 m/s. What are the speed and direction of the first ball after the collision?

Answer:

Velocity is 1.73 m/s along 54.65° south of east.

Explanation:

Let unknown velocity be v, mass of billiard ball be m and east direction be positive x axis.

Here momentum is conserved.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Initial momentum = m x 2i + m x (-1)i = m i

Final momentum = m x v + m x 1.41 j = mv + 1.41 m j

Comparing

mi = mv + 1.41 m j

v = i - 1.41 j

Magnitude of velocity

      v=\sqrt{1^2+(-1.41)^2}=1.73m/s        

Direction,  

       \theta =tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{-1.41}{1}\right )=-54.65^0             

Velocity is 1.73 m/s along 54.65° south of east.

Which "spheres" are interacting when water evaporates from plants
Novay_Z [31]
The plant grows in the solid part of earth, the lithosphere. When water evaporates from the plant, it enters the hydrosphere, the portion if earth on kand and in the air that contains water. The atmosphere is part of the hydrosphere.

A 1.2 kg hammer slams down on a nail at 5.0 m/s and bounces off at 1.0 m/s. If the impact lasts 1.0 ms, what average force is ex
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse results in a change of momentum

FΔt = mΔV

F = mΔV/Δt

The impulse acting on the hammer will equal the impulse acting on the nail

If we assume upward is the positive direction

F = m(vf - vi)/t

F = 1.2(1.0 - (-1.5)) / 0.001

F = 3000 N

At what displacement of a sho is the energy half kinetic and half potential? what fraction of the total energy of a sho is kinet
expeople1 [14]

As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position

so we will have as a function of position given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

also the PE is given as function of position as

PE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

now it is given that

KE = PE

now we will have

\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2) = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

A^2 - x^2 = x^2

2x^2 = A^2

x = \frac{A}{\sqrt2}

so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same

Part b)

KE of SHO at x = A/3

we can use the formula

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

now to find the fraction of kinetic energy

f = \frac{KE}{TE} = \frac{A^2 - x^2}{A^2}

f = \frac{A^2 - (\frac{A}{3})^2}{A^2}

f_k = \frac{8}{9}

now since total energy is sum of KE and PE

so fraction of PE at the same position will be

f_{PE} = 1 - f_k

f_{PE} = 1 - (8/9) = 1/9
