Object A has of mass 7.20 kilograms, and object B has a mass of 5.75 kilograms. The two objects move along a straight line towar

d each other with velocities +2.00 meters/second and -1.30 meters/second respectively. What is the total kinetic energy of the objects after the collision, if the collision is perfectly elastic?

Two things:
1) All collisions conserve momentum
2) Elastic collisions also conserve kinetic energy.

So basically the kinetic energy before the collision is the same as the kinetic energy after the collision.

KE = ½mv²

For object A:
KE = ½(7.20 kg)(2.00 m/s)² = 14.4 J

For object B:
KE = ½(5.75 kg)(-1.30 m/s)² = 4.86 J

total kinetic energy = 14.4 J + 4.86 J = 19.3 J

The equation for Kinetic Energy in an Elastic Collision is this:
1/2(m₁v₁) + 1/2(m₂v₂) = 1/2(7.20kg)(2.00m/s) + 1/2(5.75kg)(-1.30m/s) =
3.4625m/s

I think....technically the equation above equates to the same thing except measuring the final velocity of the given masses, however you were not given that in the equation, making the first half of the full equation the only viable solution.

Q11) If you were standing at the top of a building and you dropped a rock.
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Part A

The distance travel by the rock is approximately 132.496 m

Part B

The speed when the rock hits the ground is approximately 50.96 m/s

Explanation:

Part A

The question is focused on the kinetics equation of a free falling object

The given parameter is the time it takes the rock to hit the ground, t = 5.2 s

For an object in free fall, we have;

h = 1/2·g·t²

Where;

h = The height from which the object is dropped

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

t = The time taken to travel the distance, h = 5.2 s

∴ h = 1/2 × 9.8 m/s² × (5.2 s)² ≈ 132.496 m

The distance travel by the rock, h ≈ 132.496 m

Part B

The speed, 'v', when the rock hits the ground, is given by the following kinematic equation,

v = g·t

∴ v = 9.8 m/s² × 5.2 s = 50.96 m/s

The speed when the rock hits the ground, v ≈ 50.96 m/s.

A uniform rod is set up so that it can rotate about a perpendicular axis at one of its ends. The length and mass of the rod are
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

0.231 N

Explanation:

To get from rest to angular speed of 6.37 rad/s within 9.87s, the angular acceleration of the rod must be

\alpha = \frac{\theta}{t} = \frac{6.37}{9.87} = 0.6454 rad/s^2

If the rod is rotating about a perpendicular axis at one of its end, then it's momentum inertia must be:

I = \frac{mL^2}{3} = \frac{1.27*0.847^2}{3} = 0.303kgm^2

According to Newton 2nd law, the torque required to exert on this rod to achieve such angular acceleration is

T = I\alpha = 0.303*0.6454 = 0.196 Nm

So the force acting on the other end to generate this torque mush be:

F = \frac{T}{L} = \frac{0.196}{0.847} = 0.231 N
