Answer:

a) The final speed of the 0.400-kg puck after the collision is 2.254 meters per second, b) The negative sign of the solution found in part a) indicates that 0.400-kg puck is moving westwards, c) The speed of the 0.900-kg puck after the collision is 3.606 meters per second eastwards.

Explanation:

a) Since collision is perfectly elastic and there are no external forces exerted on pucks system, the phenomenon must be modelled after the Principles of Momentum and Energy Conservation. Changes in gravitational potential energy can be neglected. That is:

Momentum

m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o} = m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}

Energy

\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o}^{2}+ m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o}^{2})=\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f}^{2}+ m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}^{2})

m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o}^{2} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o}^{2} = m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f}^{2} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}

Where:

m_{1}, m_{2} - Masses of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in kilograms.

v_{1,o}, v_{2,o} - Initial speeds of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in meters per second.

v_{1}, v_{2} - Final speeds of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in meters per second.

If m_{1} = 0.400\,kg, m_{2} = 0.900\,kg, v_{1,o} = +5.86\,\frac{m}{s}, v_{2,o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, the system of equation is simplified as follows:

2.344\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} = 0.4\cdot v_{1,f} + 0.9\cdot v_{2,f}

13.736\,J = 0.4\cdot v_{1,f}^{2}+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}

Let is clear v_{1,f} in first equation:

0.4\cdot v_{1,f} = 2.344 - 0.9\cdot v_{2,f}

v_{1,f} = 5.86-2.25\cdot v_{2,f}

Now, the same variable is substituted in second equation and resulting expression is simplified and solved afterwards:

13.736 = 0.4\cdot (5.86-2.25\cdot v_{2,f})^{2}+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}

13.736 = 0.4\cdot (34.340-26.37\cdot v_{2,f}+5.063\cdot v_{2,f}^{2})+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}

13.736 = 13.736-10.548\cdot v_{2,f} +2.925\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}

2.925\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}-10.548\cdot v_{2,f} = 0

2.925\cdot v_{2,f}\cdot (v_{2,f}-3.606) = 0

There are two solutions:

v_{2,f} = 0\,\frac{m}{s} or v_{2,f} = 3.606\,\frac{m}{s}

The first root coincides with the conditions before collision and the second one represents a physically reasonable solution.

Now, the final speed of the 0.400-kg puck is: (v_{2,f} = 3.606\,\frac{m}{s})

v_{1,f} = 5.86-2.25\cdot (3.606)

v_{1,f} = -2.254\,\frac{m}{s}

The final speed of the 0.400-kg puck after the collision is 2.254 meters per second.

b) The negative sign of the solution found in part a) indicates that 0.400-kg puck is moving westwards.

c) The speed of the 0.900-kg puck after the collision is 3.606 meters per second eastwards.

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Drift velocity is given by

v_d=\frac{I}{n\times Q\times A}

where v_d=drift velocity

I=Current

n=no of electron

Q=charge of Electron

A=cross-section

If area of cross-section decreases gradually then drift velocity will increase because drift velocity is inversely proportional to Area of cross-section

When changing a tire sized 195/75 R15 to a 5 percent lower profile, the correct tire size would be _____
valentinak56 [21]

Answer and explanation:

When you are changing a car tire, the most important thing is to keep the total diameter as equal as possible.

The total car tire diameter can be calculated as:

D_{tot orig}=\frac{195 \cdot 75}{2540 \cdot 2}+15''=26.5''

The profile of this tire is 75 (the higher/taller relation), therefore a 5 percent lower profile would be:

pr=0.95·75=71.25

The problem is that the profiles are normalized and the nearest profile available is 70.

If we take a theorical tire with a profile of 71.25:

D_{tot orig}=D_{new}\\\frac{195 \cdot 75}{2540 \cdot 2}+15''=\frac{X \cdot 71.25}{2540 \cdot 2}+15''\\X=205.26

The theorical tire size should be 205/71 R15.

If we look for a real tire size, we should look for a tire with a diameter nearest to 26.5'' and a profile of 70.

The best option for real tire size is: Tire 225/70 R14 (wheel diameter of 26.4'') or 205/70 R15 (wheel diameter of 26.3'').
