Newton's cradle consists of an aligned row of identical elastic balls suspended by strings so they barely touch one another. whe

n two balls are raised from one end and released, they strike the row and two balls pop out from the other end. if instead, one ball popped out with twice the speed of the two, this would violate

Initial momentum = 2 * m v

so if 1 ball popped out with 2 v momentum would be conserved

but the initial kinetic energy of the two balls is

1/2 m v^2 + 1/2 m v^2 = m v^2

But the kinetic energy of one ball with twice the speed would be

KE = 1/2 m (2 v)^2 = 2 m v^2 thus violating conservation of energy

What kind of energy does a rubber band have when it is stretched?
RideAnS [48]
Elastic potential energy. When you stretch a rubber band it has the "potential" to do work, to fly in a given direction. In doing so it changes it's elastic potential energy to kinetic energy.

Ben walks 500 meters from his house to the corner store. He then walks back toward his house but stops to talk to a neighbor whe
spin [16.1K]
Average velocity =

      (displacement) / (time for the displacement)
and
      (direction of the displacement) .

Displacement =

      (distance from the start-point to the end-point)
and
      (direction from the start-point to the end-point)   .

When Ben is 200 meters from the corner store,
he is (500 - 200) = 300 meters from his house.

His displacement is

         300 meters in the direction
                             from his house to the neighbor .


His average velocity is

         (300/910) =  0.33 meters per second, in the
                               direction from his house to the neighbor .

What is the approximate mass of air in a living room 4.5m×3.4m×2.9m? the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3?
topjm [15]
First we have to calculate the volume of the living room:
V = L x W x H = 4.5 m * 3.4 m * 2.9 m
V = 44.37 m³
We know that Density = 1.29 kg/m²
D = m / V
m = D · V
m = 1.29 kg/m³ · 44.37 m³
m = 57.2373 kg ≈ 57.2 kg
Answer: The approximate mass of air in living room is 57.2 kg.

You have an incident ray from a medium with a n1=1, through a medium with a n2 =3.325. If the incident angle is equal to 0.478 r
sesenic [268]

Answer:

0.139 rad

Explanation:

We use Snell's law n_1sin\theta_1=n_2sin\theta_2, where if n_1 is the <em>refractive index</em> of the medium containing the <em>incident ray</em>, \theta_1 would be the <em>incident angle</em>, and if n_2 is the <em>refractive index</em> of the medium containing the <em>refracted ray</em>, \theta_2 would be the <em>refraction angle</em>, which we want, so we do:

sin\theta_2=\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin\theta_1

And finally:

\theta_2=arcsin(\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin\theta_1)

We then insert our values:

\theta_2=arcsin(\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin\theta_1)=Arcsin(\frac{1}{3.325}sin(0.478rad))=arcsin(0.13834714686&#10;)=0.139 rad
