A(n) 1.3 kg mass sliding on a frictionless surface has a velocity of 7.1 m/s east when it undergoes a one-dimensional elastic co

llision with an unknown mass that is initially at rest. After the collision the velocity of the 1.3 kg is 1.7 m/s west. What is the unknown mass? Answer in units of kg

Answer: 2.12 kg

Explanation:

Since the 1.3 kg object moves to the west after the collision, the other object will move to the east after the collision.

In an elastic collision, the relative velocity after the collision is the opposite of the relative velocity before the collision. Since the 1.3 kg object’s velocity before the collision is 6.7 m/s greater than the other object, after the collision, its velocity will be 6.7 m/s less than the other object. To determine the other object’s velocity, use the following equation.

v = 1.7 – 7.1 = -5.4 m/s

The negative sign means it is moving eastward. Let’s use this number is a momentum equation to determine its mass.

Initial momentum = 1.3 * 7.1 = 9.23 east

For the 1.3 object, final momentum = 1.3 * 1.7 = 2.21 west

To determine the final momentum of the other object, add these two numbers.

Final momentum = 11.44 east

To determine its mass, use the following equation.

m * 5.4 = 11.44

m = 11.44 ÷ 5.4 = 2.12 kg

To make sure that kinetic energy is conserved, let’s round this number to 2 kg and determine the final kinetic energies.

For the 1.3 object, KE = 1/2 * 1/3* 1.7^2 = 0.48

For the 2 kg object, KE = 1/2* 2 * 5.4^2 = 29.64

Total final KE = 29.64

Initial KE = 0.5* 1.3 * 7.1^2 = 32.77

Since I rounded the mass up to 2kg, this proves that kinetic energy is conserved and the mass is correct!

If a dog is mass iS 14.3 kg what is it’s weight on earth
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Weight of the dog on surface of earth is 140.14 Newton.

Given:

mass of the dog = 14.3 kg

To find:

Weight of the dog = ?

Formula used:

Weight of the dog is given by,

W = mg

Where, W = weight of the dog

m = mass of the dog

g = acceleration due to gravity

Solution:

Weight of the dog is given by,

W = mg

Where, W = weight of the dog

m = mass of the dog = 14.3 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity

W = 14.3 × 9.8

W = 140.14 Newton

Weight of the dog on surface of earth is 140.14 Newton.

The energy that generates wind comes from what source?
Rudiy27

Answer:

we can say that wind energy is due to

D) Severe thunderstorms

Explanation:

As we know that wind energy is converted into kinetic energy of wind mills

This kinetic energy of wind mill is then converted into electrical energy using turbine

now we can consider here  energy conservation theory that energy is only converted from one form to other form

it neither be destroyed nor be created but it can transfer from one form to other form

So here we can say that wind energy is due to

D) Severe thunderstorms
