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.

A bird lands on a bare copper wire carrying a current of 51
nirvana33 [79]
The resistance of the piece of wire is
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}
where
\rho = 1.68 \cdot 10^{-8}\Omega m is the resistivity of the copper
L=5.1 cm=0.051 m is the length of the piece of wire
A=0.13 cm^2 = 0.13 \cdot 10^{-4} m^2 is the cross sectional area of the wire
By substituting these values, we find the value of R:
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}=6.6 \cdot 10^{-5} \Omega

Then, by using Ohm's law, we find the potential difference between the two points of the wire:
V=IR=(51 A)(6.6 \cdot 10^{-5} \Omega )=3.4 \cdot 10^{-3} V

The discovery of what element showed the usefulness of Mendeleev’s periodic table?
lesya [120]
A. Gallium

'cause he predicted it's physical properties before it's discovery! After that, it was proved that Mendeleev's periodic table was useful.

Hope this helps!

What would happen to the coil if the current passing through it was too large?
Alborosie
When a current flows through coil, magnetic field is produced around the coil which induces emf also known as back emf. When current in the coil is increased, more magnetic field is produced which in turn increases the induced emf.
