Answer:

The correct answer is option 'c': Smaller stone rebounds while as larger stone remains stationary.

Explanation:

Let the velocity and the mass of the smaller stone be 'm' and 'v' respectively

and the mass of big rock be 'M'

Initial momentum of the system equals

p_i=mv+0=mv

Now let after the collision the small stone move with a velocity v' and the big roch move with a velocity V'

Thus the final momentum of the system is

p_f=mv'+MV'

Equating initial and the final momenta we get

mv=mv'+MV'\\\\m(v-v')=MV'.....i

Now since the surface is frictionless thus the energy is also conserved thus

E_i=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Similarly the final energy becomes

E_f=\frac{1}{2}mv'^2+\frac{1}{2}MV'^2\

Equating initial and final energies we get

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}mv'^2+\frac{1}{2}MV'^2\\\\mv^2=mv'^2+MV'^2\\\\m(v^2-v'^2)=MV'^2\\\\m(v-v')(v+v')=MV'^2......(ii)

Solving i and ii we get

v+v'=V'

Using this in equation i we get

v'=\frac{v(m-M)}{(M-m)}=-v

Thus putting v = -v' in equation i  we get V' = 0

This implies Smaller stone rebounds while as larger stone remains stationary.

Superman does an exhibition run at a track meet. When he runs the 200 m
Ber [7]

Answer:

6.32s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Length of track and distance covered  = 200m

Acceleration  = 10m/s²

Unknown:

Time taken to cover the track  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply one of the motion equations as shown below:

       S  = ut + \frac{1}{2} at²  

S is the distance covered

t is the time taken

a the acceleration

u is the initial velocity

The initial velocity of Superman is 0;

 So;

     S  =  \frac{1}{2} at²  

        200  =  \frac{1}{2} x 10 x t²  

          200  = 5t²  

            t²  = 40

            t  = 6.32s

for an ideal monoatomic gas, the internal energy U os due to the kinetic energy and U=3/2RT per mole.show that cv=3/2R per mole
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

i. Cv =3R/2

ii. Cp = 5R/2

Explanation:

i. Cv = Molar heat capacity at constant volume

Since the internal energy of the ideal monoatomic gas is U = 3/2RT and Cv = dU/dT

Differentiating U with respect to T, we have

= d(3/2RT)/dT

= 3R/2

ii. Cp - Molar heat capacity at constant pressure

Cp = Cv + R

substituting Cv into the equation, we have

Cp = 3R/2 + R

taking L.C.M

Cp = (3R + 2R)/2

Cp = 5R/2
