Answer:

(a). The speed of the ball after collision is 2.01 m/s.

(b). The speed of the block after collision 1.11 m/s.

Explanation:

Suppose, A steel ball of mass 0.500 kg is fastened to a cord that is 50.0 cm long and fixed at the far end. The ball is then released when the cord is horizontal.

Given that,

Mass of steel block = 2.30 kg

Mass of ball = 0.500 kg

Length of cord = 50.0 cm

We need to calculate the initial speed of the ball

Using conservation of energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgl

v=\sqrt{2gl}

Put the value into the formula

u=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times50.0\times10^{-2}}

u=3.13\ m/s

The initial speed of the ball u_{1}=3.13\ m/s

The initial speed of the block u_{2}=0

(a). We need to calculate the speed of the ball after collision

Using formula of collision

v_{1}=(\dfrac{m_{1}-m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{1}+(\dfrac{2m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{2}

Put the value into the formula

v_{1}=(\dfrac{0.5-2.30}{0.5+2.30})\times3.13

v_{1}=-2.01\ m/s

Negative sign shows the opposite direction of initial direction.

(b). We need to calculate the speed of the block after collision

Using formula of collision

v_{2}=(\dfrac{2m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{1}+(\dfrac{m_{1}-m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{2}

Put the value into the formula

v_{2}=(\dfrac{2\times0.5}{0.5+2.30})\times3.13+0

v_{2}=1.11\ m/s

Hence, (a). The speed of the ball after collision is 2.01 m/s.

(b). The speed of the block after collision 1.11 m/s.

Translate the word phrase into an algebraic equation: the quotient of 22 and 2 is equal to 11.
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

22/2 = 11

Explanation:

A quotient means the result of a division problem. When it says the quotient of a and b, this means of "a divided by b". Remember to always go in the right order, because in division, order matters.

Therefore the quotient of 22 and 2 is equal to 11 is written: 22/2 = 11

The magnetic field produced by the solenoid in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system designed for measurements on whole huma
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Number of turns per unit length will be n=2.786\times 10^4turns/m

Explanation:

We have given that strength of the magnetic field produced by the solenoid B = 7 T

Current in the solenoid i = 200 A

Let the number of turns per unit length is n

Magnetic field due to solenoid is given as B=\mu ni here \mu is permeability of free space n is number of turns per unit length and i is current

So 7=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times  n\times 200

n=2.786\times 10^4turns/m
