A 0.311 kg tennis racket moving 30.3 m/s east makes an elastic collision with a 0.0570 kg ball moving 19.2 m/s west. Find the ve

amm1812

<u>Answer</u>:

The velocity of the tennis racket after the collision 14.966 m/s.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

let the following:

m₁ = mass of tennis racket = 0.311 kg

m₂ = mass of the ball = 0.057 kg

u₁ = velocity of tennis racket before collision = 30.3 m/s

u₂ = velocity of the ball before collision = -19.2 m/s

v₁ = velocity of tennis racket after collision

v₂ = velocity of the ball after collision

Right (+) , Left (-)

An elastic collision is an encounter between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains the same.

So, the total kinetic energy before collision = the total kinetic energy after collision.

So, 0.5 m₁ u₁² + 0.5 m₂ u₂² = 0.5 m₁ v₁² + 0.5 m₂ v₂² ⇒ (1)

Also, the total momentum before collision = the total momentum after collision.

So, m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ ⇒ (2)

Solving (1) and (2):

∴ v₁ = [ u₁ * (m₁ - m₂) + u₂ * 2m₂ ]/ (m₁ + m₂)

= ( 30.3 * (0.311 - 0.057) - 19.2 * 2 * 0.057 ) / ( 0.311 + 0.057)

= 14.966 m/s.

So, the velocity of the tennis racket after the collision 14.966 m/s.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

Answer:

It has sunlight, oxygen, water, and fertile soil.

Explanation:

Sunlight: provides plants (producers) with energy so that the ecosystem is sustainable. Also provides heat and warmth so the planet does not freeze.

Oxygen: obvious. required for human survival and survival of most carbon-based organisms.

Water: required for plant growth and sustainability of carbon-based life.

Fertile soil: a place where plants can grow and produce energy.

a shot putter releases the shot some distance above the level ground with a velocity of 12.0 m/s, 51.0 ∘above the horizontal. th

Savatey [412]

Answer:

15.7 m

Explanation:

The range (horizontal distance) of the projectile is determined only by its horizontal motion.

The horizontal motion is a motion with constant speed, which is equal to the initial horizontal velocity of the object:

$v_x = v cos \theta$

where

v = 12.0 m/s is the initial velocity

$\theta=51.0^{\circ}$ is the angle between the direction of v and the horizontal

Substituting,

$v_x = (12.0 m/s)(cos 51.0^{\circ} )=7.55 m/s$

We know that the projectile hits the ground in a time of

t = 2.08 s

so the horizontal distance covered is

$d = v_x t = (7.55 m/s)(2.08 s)=15.7 m$

If the pressure acting on a given sample of an ideal gas at constant temperature is tripled, what happens to the volume of the g

oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law for constant temperature of gas Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of gas.

$PV=nRT$

$PV=constant$

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

if Pressure is tripled then

$P\times V_1=3P\times V_2$

$V_2=\frac{V_1}{3}$

Volume becomes one-third of original volume
