One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other wor

ds, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 29 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 3.2 and 7.1 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is the one moving initially and the case (b) when the small-mass object is the one moving initially

Answer:

a) The final velocity is 20 m/s when the large-mass object is the one moving initially.

b) The final velocity is 9.0 m/s when the small-mass object is the one moving initially.

Explanation:

The momentum of the system is calculated as the sum of the momenta of each object. Each momentum is calculated as follows:

p = m · v

Where:

p = momentum.

m = mass.

v = velocity.

Then, the momentum of the system is the following:

m1 · v1 + m2 · v2 = (m1 + m2) · v

Where:

m1 = mass of the bigger object.

v1 = velocity of the bigger object.

m2 = mass of the smaller object.

v2 = velocity of the smaller object.

v = final velocity of the two objects after the collision.

Solving the equation for the final velocity:

(m1 · v1 + m2 · v2)/ (m1 + m2) = v

a) Let´s calculate the final velocity when the bigger object is moving:

(7.1 kg · 29 m/s + 3.2 kg · 0)/(7.1 kg + 3.2 kg) = v

<u>v = 20 m/s</u>

b) When the smaller object is moving:

(7.1 kg · 0 m/s + 3.2 kg · 29 m/s) / (7.1 kg + 3.2 kg) = v

<u>v = 9.0 m/s</u>

A horizontal pipe of inner diameter 2.2 cm carries water with a density of 1000.0 kg/m3 flowing at a rate of 1.5 kg/s. If the pi

The speed of the water in the wider part will be 1.194 m/sec. Speed is a time-based quantity. Its SI unit is m/sec.

<h3> What is speed?</h3>

Speed is defined as the rate of change of the distance or the height attained.

The given data in the problem is;

The initial diameter is, $\rm d_1 = 2.2 \ cm$

initial radius,

$r_1 = \frac{d_1}{2} \\\\ r_1 = \frac{2.2}{2} \\\\ r_1 = 1.1\ cm$

The initial crossection area;

$\rm A_1 = \pi r_1^2 \\\\ \rm A_1 = 3.14 \times (1.1\times 10^{-2})^2 \\\\ \rm A_1 =3.8 \times 10^{-4} \ m^2$

The final crossection area;

$\rm A_2 = \pi r_2^2 \\\\ \rm A_2 = 3.14 \times ( 2 \times 10^{-2})^2 \\\\ \rm A_2 = 12.56 \ m^2$

The initial flow rate is;

R = density ×velocity ×area

$\rm R = \rho A V \\\\ 1.5 = 1000 \times V_1 \times 3.8 \times 10^{-4} \\\\ V_1 = 3.947 \ m/sec$

The speed of the water in the wider part will be;

From the continuity equation;

$\rm A_1 V_1 = A_2V_2 \\\\\ 3.8 \times 10^{-4} \times 3.947 = 12.56 \times 10^{-4} \times V_2 \\\\ V_2= 1.194 \ m/sec$

Hence, the speed of the water in the wider part will be 1.194 m/sec.

Help me with number 2 please

NARA [144]

The answer would be B. An example of this would be the Noble gasses. They include: Helium, Argon, Neon, and so on. They are all located on the very right side because they share similar chemical behaviours; they dont react very easily because they have a full valence shell.

A stone with a weight of 5.29 N is launched vertically from ground level with an initial speed of 26.0 m/s, and the air drag on

makkiz [27]

Answer:

a) 19.4 m/s

b) 19 m/s

Explanation:

a) In the given question,

the potential energy at the initial point = Ui = 0

the potential energy at the final point = Uf = mgh

the kinetic energy at the initial point = Ki = 1/2 mv₀².

the kinetic energy at the final point = Kf = 0

work done by air= Ea= fh = 0.262 N

Now, using the law of conservation of energy

initial energy= final energy

Ki +Ui = Kf + Uf +Ea

1/2 mv₀² + 0 = 0 + mgh + fh

1/2 mv₀² = mgh + fh

h = v₀²/ 2g (1 +f/w)

calculate m

m= w/g = 5.29 /9.8

= 0.54 kg

h = 20 ²/ (2 x9.80) x (1 0.265/5.29)

h = 19.4 m.

b) 1/2 mv² + 2fh = 1/2 mv₀²

Vg = 19 m/s

How is the magnetic force on a particle moving in a magnetic field different from gravitational and electric forces.

harina [27]

Answer:

The magnetic force on a free moving charge depends on the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field, direction of the force is given by the right hand rule. While gravitational depends on the mass and distance of the moving particle and electric forces depends on the magnitude of the charge and distance of separation.

Explanation:

The magnetic force on a free moving charge depends on the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field and direction of the force is given by the right hand rule. While gravitational depends on the mass and distance of the moving particle and electric forces depends on the magnitude of the charge and distance of separation.

The magnetic force is given by the charge times the vector product of velocity and magnetic field. While gravitational force is given by the square of the particle mass divided by the square its distance of separation. Also electric forces is given by the square of the charge magnitude divided by the square its distance separation.
