A clay ball with a mass of 0.48kg has an initial speed of 4.08m/s it strikes a 3.04kg clay ball at rest and the two balls stick

together and remain stationary. What is the decrease in kinetic energy of the 0.48kg ball

Final velocity = 0, thus final kinetic energy is 0
Initial kinetic energy:
0.5mv²
= 0.5 x 0.48 x 4.08²
= 4.0 J
Decrease in kinetic energy = 4 - 0 = 4 Joules

A box of weight 74 N is sliding on a horizontal surface at a constant velocity due to an external force F-> of magnitude 4.8
n200080 [17]

Answer

4.8 N

If the box is moving with a constant velocity, then we can say that the system is in equilibrium. This is because if the external force (F->) was greater than other forces the box would be accelerating. This tells us that this force (F->) is just enough to overcome friction and so it must be equal to 4.8 N.

The normal force has no effect to the horizontal velocities or forces. It is equal to -Weight. That is -74 N. The negative sign shows that the force is in opposite direction.

X rays of wavelength 0.0169 nm are directed in the positive direction of an x axis onto a target containing loosely bound electr
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

a) 4.04*10^-12m

b) 0.0209nm

c) 0.253MeV

Explanation:

The formula for Compton's scattering is given by:

\Delta \lambda=\lambda_f-\lambda_i=\frac{h}{m_oc}(1-cos\theta)

where h is the Planck's constant, m is the mass of the electron and c is the speed of light.

a) by replacing in the formula you obtain the Compton shift:

\Delta \lambda=\frac{6.62*10^{-34}Js}{(9.1*10^{-31}kg)(3*10^8m/s)}(1-cos132\°)=4.04*10^{-12}m

b) The change in photon energy is given by:

\Delta E=E_f-E_i=h\frac{c}{\lambda_f}-h\frac{c}{\lambda_i}=hc(\frac{1}{\lambda_f}-\frac{1}{\lambda_i})\\\\\lambda_f=4.04*10^{-12}m +\lambda_i=4.04*10^{-12}m+(0.0169*10^{-9}m)=2.09*10^{-11}m=0.0209nm

c) The electron Compton wavelength is 2.43 × 10-12 m. Hence you can use the Broglie's relation to compute the momentum of the electron and then the kinetic energy.

P=\frac{h}{\lambda_e}=\frac{6.62*10^{-34}Js}{2.43*10^{-12}m}=2.72*10^{-22}kgm\\

E_e=\frac{p^2}{2m_e}=\frac{(2.72*10^{-22}kgm)^2}{2(9.1*10^{-31}kg)}=4.06*10^{-14}J\\\\1J=6.242*10^{18}eV\\\\E_e=4.06*10^{-14}(6.242*10^{18}eV)=0.253MeV

What is a heterogeneous mixture and what is a homogeneous mixture?
yuradex [85]
A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that contains two or more distinct substances that you can see. You can see the different part if a heterogeneous mixture. An example of this is a salad. You can see all of the parts. A homogeneous mixture is a mixture that is uniform and you cannot see the different parts. It is still a mixture though. An example of that would be salt water. The water and salt are not chemically combined but you cannot see the salt AND water. It is just one solution.

At room temperature, sound travels at a speed of about 344 m/s in air. You see a distant flash of lightning and hear the thunder
beks73 [17]

Answer:

d=1.67mi

Explanation:

Assuming the light takes essentially no time to reach you, the distance at which the lightning occurred can be calculated by multiplying the speed of sound by the time it takes to hear the thunder:

d=v_st\\d=344\frac{m}{s}(7.8s)\\d=2683.2m*\frac{1mi}{1609.34m}=1.67mi

An empty elevator has a mass of 722 kg. It moves between floors at a maximum speed of 6.00 m/s. The elevator is stopped on the 2
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The lift is going down with acceleration

Initial speed u = 0

Final speed v = 6 m/s

distance s = 15.25 m

acceleration a = ?

v² = u² + 2 a s

6² = 0 + 2 x a x 15.25

a = 1.18 m /s²

Elevator is going down with acceleration  .

mg - T = ma where T is tension in the cable .

722 x 9.8 - T = 722 x 1.18

7075.6 - T = 851.96

T = 6223.64 N .
