Assuming that the collision is inelastic that is they are stuck together after the collision, momentum is conserved. We can determine the final velocity of the final mass as follows:

m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3
100(4) + (200)(-3) = (300)v3
v3 = -0.6667 m/s

Therefore, the final mass moves at 0.6667 m/s to the left.

The speed of the combined balls after the collision is about 0.67 m/s to the left

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that the resultant force applied to an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object.

\large {\boxed {F = ma }

F = Force ( Newton )

m = Object's Mass ( kg )

a = Acceleration ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem !

<em><u>Complete Question:</u></em>

<em>A 100 g ball moving to the right at 4.0 m/s collides head-on with a 200 g ball that is moving to the left at 3.0 m/s.</em>

<em>If the collision is </em><em>perfectly inelastic</em><em>, what is the speed of the combined balls after the collision? What is the direction of the combined balls after the collision?</em>

<u>Given:</u>

mass of first ball = m₁ = 100 g

mass of second ball = m₂ = 200 g

initial speed of first ball = u₁ = 4.0 m/s <em>( + sign means right direction )</em>

initial speed of second ball = u₂ = -3.0 m/s <em>( - sign means left direction )</em>

final speed of both balls = v₁ = v₂ = v <em>( perfectly inelatic collision )</em>

<u>Asked:</u>

final speed of both balls = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We will use </em><em>Conservation of Momentum Law </em><em>as follows:</em>

m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2

100(4.0) + 200(-3.0) = 100v + 200v

400 - 600 = 300v

-200 = 300 v

v = -200 \div 300

v = -\frac{2}{3} \texttt{ m/s}

\boxed{v \approx -0.67 \texttt{ m/s}}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion :</h3>

Both balls are moving to the left at about 0.67 m/s.

determine the force of gravitational attraction between a 78kg boy sitting 2 meters away from a 65kg girl.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

F=8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a boy is 78 kg

Mass of a girl is 65 kg

We need to find the force of gravitational attraction between them if they are 2 m away.

The formula for the gravitational force is given by :

F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 78\times 65}{(2)^2}\\\\=8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N

So, the force between them is 8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

(1) The orbits are ellipses, with focal points ƒ1 and ƒ2 for the first planet and ƒ1 and ƒ3 for the second planet. The Sun is placed in focal point ƒ1.

(2) The two shaded sectors A1 and A2 have the same surface area and the time for planet 1 to cover segment A1 is equal to the time to cover segment A2.

(3) The total orbit times for planet 1 and planet 2 have a ratio a13/2 : a23/2
