Answer:

20J

Explanation:

In a collision, whether elastic or inelastic, momentum is always conserved. Therefore, using the principle of conservation of momentum we can first get the final velocity of the two bodies after collision. This is given by;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v          ---------------(i)

Where;

m₁ and m₂ are the masses of first and second objects respectively

u₁ and u₂ are the initial velocities of the first and second objects respectively

v  is the final velocity of the two objects after collision;

From the question;

m₁ = 2.0kg

m₂ = 8.0kg

u₁ = 5.0m/s

u₂ = 0        (since the object is initially at rest)

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

(2.0 x 5.0) + (8.0 x 0) = (2.0 + 8.0)v

(10.0) + (0) = (10.0)v

10.0 = 10.0v

v = 1m/s

The two bodies stick together and move off with a velocity of 1m/s after collision.

The kinetic energy(KE₁) of the objects before collision is given by

KE₁ = \frac{1}{2}m₁u₁² +  \frac{1}{2}m₂u₂²       ---------------(ii)

Substitute the appropriate values into equation (ii)

KE₁ = (\frac{1}{2} x 2.0 x 5.0²) +  (\frac{1}{2} x 8.0 x 0²)

KE₁ = 25.0J

Also, the kinetic energy(KE₂) of the objects after collision is given by

KE₂ = \frac{1}{2}(m₁ + m₂)v²      ---------------(iii)

Substitute the appropriate values into equation (iii)

KE₂ = \frac{1}{2} ( 2.0 + 8.0) x 1²

KE₂ = 5J

The kinetic energy lost (K) by the system is therefore the difference between the kinetic energy before collision and kinetic energy after collision

K = KE₂ - KE₁

K = 5 - 25

K = -20J

The negative sign shows that energy was lost. The kinetic energy lost by the system is 20J

A 54 kg man holding a 0.65 kg ball stands on a frozen pond next to a wall. He throws the ball at the wall with a speed of 12.1 m
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The velocity of the man is 0.144 m/s

Explanation:

This is a case of conservation of momentum.

The momentum of the moving ball before it was caught must equal the momentum of the man and the ball after he catches the ball.

Mass of ball = 0.65 kg

Mass of the man = 54 kg

Velocity of the ball = 12.1 m/s

Before collision, momentum of the ball = mass x velocity

= 0.65 x 12.1 = 7.865 kg-m/s

After collision the momentum of the man and ball system is

(0.65 + 54)Vf = 54.65Vf

Where Vf is their final common velocity.

Equating the initial and final momentum,

7.865 = 54.65Vf

Vf = 7.865/54.65 = 0.144 m/s

An electron and a proton
dem82 [27]

Answer:

If you are asking the definition here is your answer:--

Explanation:

<u><em>Electrons</em></u> are negatively charged particles that revolve around the nucleus of an atom. In QFT(Quantum field theory) Electrons are vibration of space in the positive energy field.

<u><em>Protons </em></u> are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom held by the strong nuclear force. In QFT(Quantum field theory) protons are also different type of vibration in space in the direction of positive energy field.
