Ball A is dropped from the top of a building of height h at the same instant that ball B is thrown vertically upward from the gr

ound. When the balls collide, they are moving in opposite directions, and the speed of A is twice the speed of B. At what height does the collision occur?

Answer:

(2/3) times height collision occur

Explanation:

for ball A

from the kinematic equation

the distance of ball A is

x_A = v_0 t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

v_0* t= velocity ( time ) = distance

since ball is at height, the above equation changes as

x_A = H - \frac{1}{2} gt^2

for ball B

xB = v0 t - \frac{1}{2} gt^2

the condition of collision is

xA = xB

vA = - 2vB (given)

from the kinematic equation

the speed of the ball A is

v_A = u- gt

since initial speed of the ball A is zero

, so

v_A = -gt

the speed of the ball B is

v_B = v_0 - gt

sincev_A = - 2v_B

   -gt = -2 ( v_0 - gt)

-gt = -2 v_0 +2gt

3gt =2 v_0

t = \frac{2v_0}{3g}

since x_A = x_B

H -  \frac{1}{2} gt^2= v_0 t - \frac{1}{2} gt^2

H = v_0 t

= v_0 (2v_0/3g)

= \frac{2 v_0^2}{ 3g}

x_A = 2 (\frac{v_0^2}{ 3g})- \frac{1}{2} gt^2

  = 4 \frac{v_0^2}{9g} = (2/3) H

so, (2/3) times height collision occur

The electrons involved in the formation of a chemical bond are called
tatiyna

Answer: Valence electrons

Valence electrons are those that are in the outermost or superficial layer of the atom, which means they have the highest energy compared to those of the inner layers.

Because of their position, it is easier for these electrons to interact with other atoms of their own element as well as different elements. This is done through the process of forming bonds when being attracted by other atoms.

Answer:

a.\thta=71^{\circ}

b.v_f=3.78 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

m_1=53 kg

v_1=2.9 m/s

m_2= 72 kg

v_2=6.2 m/s

a.We have to find the angle

\theta=tan^{-1}{\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1v_1}=\frac{72(6.2)}{53(2.9)}=71^{\circ}

\theta=71^{\circ}

b. We have to find the speed v_f

According to law of conservation of momentum

m_1v_1=(m_1+m_2)v_fcos\theta

53(2.9)=(53+72)v_fcos 71^{\circ}=40.7 v_f

v_f=\frac{153.7}{40.7}=3.78 m/s
