If a 3.5 gram ping pong ball were traveling to the right horizontally at 12 m/s, and a larger 12 g super ball were thrown direct

ly behind it (also to the right) at 15 m/s so that the super ball bumped into and elastically collided with the ping pong ball, what would be the velocities of the two balls after the collision

Answer:

v = 14.32 m/s

Explanation:

According to the principle of conservation of linear momentum, both the momentum and kinetic energy of the system are conserved. Since the two balls are in the same direction of motion before collision, then;

m_{1} u_{1} + m_{2} u_{2} = (m_{1} + m_{2}) v

0.035 × 12 + 0.120 × 15 = (0.035 + 0.120) v

0.420 + 1.800 = (0.155) v

2.22 = 0.155 v

⇒ v = \frac{2.22}{0.155}

      = 14.323

The velocity of the balls after collision is 14.32 m/s.

A rock is attached to the left end of a uniform meter stick that has the same mass as the rock. How far from the left end of the
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

M₂ = M  then L₂ = L

M₂> M  then L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

Explanation:

This is a static equilibrium exercise, to solve it we must fix a reference system at the turning point, generally in the center of the rod. By convention counterclockwise turns are considered positive

          ∑ τ = 0

           

The mass of the rock is M and placed at a distance, L the mass of the rod M₁, is considered to be placed in its center of mass, which by uniform e is in its geometric center (x = 0) and the triangular mass M₂, with a distance L₂

The triangular shape of the second object determines that its mass can be considered concentrated in its geometric center (median) that tapers with a vertical line if the triangle is equilateral, the most used shape in measurements.

         M L + M₁ 0 - m₂ L₂ = 0

         M L - m₂ L₂ = 0

         L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

From this answer we have several possibilities

* if the two masses are equal then L₂ = L

* If the masses are different, with M₂> M then L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L
