Answer:

Momentum is always conserved, and kinetic energy may be conserved.

Explanation:

For an object moving on a horizontal, frictionless surface which makes a glancing collision with another object initially at rest on the surface, the type of collision experienced by this objects can either be elastic or an inelastic collision depending on whether the object sticks together after collision or separates and move with a common velocity after collision.

If the body separates and move with a common velocity after collision, the collision is elastic but if they sticks together after collision, the collision is inelastic.

Either ways the momentum of the bodies are always conserved since they will always move with a common velocity after collision but their kinetic energy may or may not be conserved after collision, it all depends whether they separates or stick together after collision and since we are not told in question whether or not they separate, we can conclude that their kinetic energy "may" be conserved.

A 9.76-m ladder with a mass of 22.6 kg lies flat on the ground. A painter grabs the top end of the ladder and pulls straight upw
galben [10]

Answer:

Part a)

\tau_{net} = 1397.1 Nm

Part b)

I = 702.06 kg m^2

Explanation:

Part a)

Torque on the rod is due to two forces

(i) Due to weight of the rod at mid point

(ii) Due to external force applied at the end

Now we have

\tau_{net} = FL - mg\frac{L}{2}

\tau_{net} = 254(9.76) - (22.6)(9.81)(\frac{9.76}{2})

\tau_{net} = 1397.1 Nm

Part b)

As per Newton's law we know that

\tau = I\alpha

now we have

1397.1 Nm = I(1.99 rad/s^2)

I = 702.06 kg m^2

What is the Voltage of a circuit that has a resistance of 50 and a current of 2 A?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

It's actually 100V

Explanation:

To answer this, you'd need to use Ohm's law, which states that Voltage is equivalent to the product of Current and Resistance (V=IR).

V = 50 × 2

V = 100

Therefore the voltage is a 100V.

None of the answers you have listed match this though, so I'm guessing it either must be typo or the question itself is wrong.

A rifle bullet with a mass of 11.5 g traveling toward the right at 251 m/s strikes a large bag of sand and penetrates it to a de
BabaBlast [244]

To look for the acceleration, it will come from:

vf^2=v0^2+2ad 
where:
vf = final velocity = 0 
v0 = initial velocity =251 m/s 
a = acceleration 
d= distance traveled = 0.237 m 

0=251^2+2a(0.237 ) 
a= -251 ^2 / (2*0.237) =-132 913.502 m/s/s 

we find the force from: 

F = ma = 0.0115kg*(-1.32x10^5m/s/s) = -1518 N 

the negative sign shows that the force is in the direction contradictory the bullet's motion
