Answer : (D) " in the opposite direction of "

Explanation :

It is given that when object A collides with object B and bounces back. This shows that the collision is elastic. There are two conditions for elastic collision :

(1) The momentum remains conserved

(2) Kinetic energy is conserved.

We know that momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. After bouncing back, the direction of velocity gets changed. So, the final momentum is in the opposite direction of its initial momentum.

So, the correct option is (D).

When object A collides with object B and bounces back, its final momentum is in the opposite direction of its initial momentum. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the last option or option "d". This type of collision is elastic in nature as the ball bounces back and so the momentum has to be in the opposite direction of the initial momentum.

A machinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, which is at rest at time t = 0.00 s. The wheel accelerates uniformly for 10

sashaice [31]

Answer:

Time interval;Δt ≈ 37 seconds

Explanation:

We are given;

Angular deceleration;α = -1.6 rad/s²

Initial angular velocity;ω_i = 59 rad/s

Final angular velocity;ω_f = 0 rad/s

Now, the formula to calculate the acceleration would be gotten from;

α = Change in angular velocity/time interval

Thus; α = Δω/Δt = (ω_f - ω_i)/Δt

So, α = (ω_f - ω_i)/Δt

Making Δt the subject, we have;

Δt = (ω_f - ω_i)/α

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

Δt = (0 - 59)/(-1.6)

Δt = -59/-1.6

Δt = 36.875 seconds ≈ 37 seconds

A sled of mass m is being pulled horizontally by a constant horizontal force of magnitude F. The coefficient of kinetic friction

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The average velocity of the sled is vavg = s/t.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average velocity is calculated as the traveled distance over time:

vavg = Δx/Δt

Where:

vavg = average velocity.

Δx = traveled distance.

Δt = elapsed time.

We already know the traveled distance (s) and also know the time it takes the sled to travel that distance (t). Then, the average velocity can be calculated as follows:

vavg = s/t

Have a nice day!

What happens to the current in a circuit if the resistance triples? If the voltage triples?

Sauron [17]

(Example 1 )
If the Voltage that furnishes the current is an ideal (no internal resistance) Voltage source. Then; 

V/R = i 
V/2R = i/2 If external resistance doubles, current reduced to 1/2 of original value 
V/3R = i/3 If external resistance triples, current reduced to 1/3 of original value 

(Example 2) 
But if the Voltage that furnishes the current is a practical [contains an internal resistance (Ri)] Voltage source. Then the current is a function of the Voltage source`s internal resistance, which does not double nor triple, plus the external resistance which is being doubled and tripled. 

V/(R + Ri) = i 
V/(2R + Ri) = greater than i/2 but less than I. 
V/(3R + Ri) = greater than i/3 but less than i/2
