Law of conservation of momentum

Physics
1 answer:

Answer:

Explanation:

Law of conservation of momentum is applied in solving collision problem. When two body collides, their momentum after collision can be determined using the law.

The law States that the sum of momentum of two bodies before collision is equal to the sum of their momentum after collision. Before collision, both bodies moves with a different velocity while during some cases, the bodies moves with a common velocity after collision.

Whether they move with or without the same velocity depends on the type of collision that exists between them after the collision. After collision, some object sticks together and move with a common velocity while some doesn't.

If the bodies sticks together after collision, the type of collision that occur is inelastic (energy is not conserved) and if they splits after collision, the type of collision that occur is an elastic collision (energy is conserved).

Let m1 and m2 be the masses of the bodies

u1 and u2 be their velocities before collision

v1 and v2 be their velocities after collision.

According to the law;

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

Note that momentum = mass × velocity of the body.

A block of mass 200g is oscillating on the end of a horizontal spring of spring constant 100 N/m and natural length 12 cm. When
malfutka [58]

In order to determine the acceleration of the block, use the following formula:

F=ma

Moreover, remind that for an object attached to a spring the magnitude of the force acting over a mass is given by:

F=kx

Then, you have:

ma=kx

by solving for a, you obtain:

a=\frac{kx}{m}

In this case, you have:

k: spring constant = 100N/m

m: mass of the block = 200g = 0.2kg

x: distance related to the equilibrium position = 14cm - 12cm = 2cm = 0.02m

Replace the previous values of the parameters into the expression for a:

a=\frac{(\frac{100N}{m})(0.02m)}{0.2\operatorname{kg}}=10\frac{m}{s^2}

Hence, the acceleration of the block is 10 m/s^2

Which kind of road surface is easier to see when driving at night, a pebbled uneven surface or a mirror smooth surface?
pshichka [43]
A pebbled, uneven road would be easier to see at night because it minimizes the reflection of light from car’s light coming in the opposite direction. It is difficult to see when driving on the rainy day because the roadway reflects light from cars coming in the opposite <span>directions.</span>

A bird flies at a speed of 2.3 m/s if it has 14 j of kinetic energy what is the mass
Sidana [21]
Kinetic Energy =  1/2 * mv²

Kinetic Energy = 14 J,  v = 2.3 m/s ,  m = ?

14  =      1/2 * m* 2.3²

14 = 0.5*m*2.3*2.3

m =  14 / (0.5*2.3*2.3)

m = 5.29 kg.

Mass = 5.29 kg.
