Momentum = mass x velocity

Before collision
Momentum 1 = 2 kg x 20 m /s = 40 kg x m/s
Momentum 2 = 3 kg x -10m/s = -30 kg x m/s

After collision
Momentum 1 = 2 kg x -5 m/s = -10 m/s
Momentum 2 = 3 kg x V2 = 3V2

Total momentum before = total momentum after
40 + -30 = -10 + 3V2
V2 = <span>6.67 m/s

Total kinetic energy before
</span><span>= (1/2) [ 2 kg * 20 m/s * 2 + 3 kg * ( -10 m/s) *2 ]
= 550 J
</span>
<span>Total kinetic energy after
</span>= (1/2) [ 2 kg * ( - 5 m/s) * 2 + 3 kg * 6.67 m/s *2 ]
= 91.73 J

Total kinetic energy lost during collision
=<span>550 J - 91.73 J
= 458.27 J</span>

Kinetic energy before:

E = 0.5mv^2 + 0.5mv^2

= 0.5*2*20^2 + 0.5*3*(-10)^2

= 400 + 150

= 550J

Kinetic energy after:

E = 0.5mv^2

= 0.5*2*(-5)^2

= 25J

Kinetic energy lost during the collision:

E = 550 - 25

= 525J

The length of the minute hand of the clock is 14cm. Calculate the speed with which the tip of the minute hand moves
Molodets [167]

Speed of the tip of the minute hand=V=0.0244 cm/s

Explanation:

The angular velocity of the minute hand is given by

\omega= \frac{2\pi}{T}

T= time period of the minute hand=60 min=3600 s

so ω= 2 π/3600 rad/s

Now linear velocity v= r ω

r= radius of minute hand=14 cm

so v= 14 (2 π/3600)

V=0.0244 cm/s

1. A kangaroo hops 84 m to the east in 7 seconds.
DENIUS [597]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance hopped  = 84m

Displacement  = 84m due east

Time  = 7s

Unknown:

Speed of kangaroo  = ?

Velocity of kangaroo  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem,

    Speed  = \frac{distance}{time }   = \frac{84}{7}  = 12m/s

  Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}   = \frac{84}{7}   = 12m/s due east

What is the acceleration of a proton moving with a speed of 6.5 m/s at right angles to a magnetic field of 1.5 T?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the proton, u =  6.5 m/s

magnetic field strength, B = 1.5 T

The force of the proton is given by;

F = ma = qvB(sin90°)

ma = qvB

where;

m is mass of the proton, = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

charge of the proton, q = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The acceleration of the proton is given by;

a = \frac{qvB}{m}\\\\a = \frac{(1.602*10^{-19})(6.5)(1.5)}{1.67*10^{-27}}\\\\a = 9.353*10^8 \ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²
