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.

A 20.0 cm tall object is placed 50.0 cm in front of a convex mirror with a radius of curvature of 34.0 cm. Where will the image
Neko [114]

Answer:

1.Theimage will be located at -0.13m or -13 cm

2.The height of the image will be 0.052m or 5.2cm

Explanation:

Given that;

Height of object, h=20 cm = 0.2m

Object distance in front of convex mirror, o,= 50 cm =0.5m

Radius of curvature, r, =34 cm =0.34m

Let;

Image distance, i,=?

Image height, h'=?

You know that focal length,f, is half the radius of curvature,hence

f=r/2 = 0.34/2 = 0.17m ( this length is inside the mirror, in a virtual side, thus its is negative)

f= -0.17m

Apply the relationship that involves the focal length;

=\frac{1}{o} +\frac{1}{i} =\frac{1}{f}

=\frac{1}{0.5} +\frac{1}{i} =-\frac{1}{0.17}

Re-arrange to get i

\frac{1}{i} =-2-5.88\\\\\\\frac{1}{i} =-7.88\\\\i=-0.13m

This is a virtual image formed at a negative distance produced through extension of drawing rays behind the mirror if you use rays to locate the image behind the mirror

Apply the magnification formula

magnification, m=height of image÷height of object

m=\frac{h'}{h} =-\frac{i}{o}

substitute the values to get the height of image h'

\frac{h'}{0.20} =-\frac{-0.13}{0.5} \\\\\\h'=\frac{0.13*0.20}{0.5} \\\\\\h'=\frac{0.025}{0.5} =0.052m\\\\\\h'=5.2cm

Compare the foot of mollusks with the tube feet of echinoderms.
stira [4]

Mollusks live in fresh water, in marine environment, but also on land.

<span>Echinoderms live only in water. This is the reason why they have developed different systems for moving. Mollusks have only singular muskullus foot for walking and Echinoderms have tube feet which they use for moving, as well for collecting and transporting food to their mouth. </span>
