Answer: 50 gram superball that strikes the wall at 1 m/s and bounces away at 0.8 m/s has greater change in kinetic energy.

Explanation:

50 gram superball that strikes the wall at 1 m/s and bounces away at 0.8 m/s has the greater change in kinetic energy because the collision is elastic in nature that is bodies separates after collision and doesn't lose any kinetic energy.

Also for an elastic collision, both the momentum and energy of the bodies are conserved compare to inelastic collision where only momentum is conserved but not the kinetic energy(this is attributed to bodies that sticks together after collision).

An air balloon is moving upward at a constant speed of 3 m/s. Suddenly a passenger realizes that she left her camera on the grou
frosja888 [35]

Answer:t=0.3253 s

Explanation:

Given

speed of balloon is u=3\ m/s

speed of camera u_1=20\ m/s

Initial separation between camera and balloon is d_o=5\ m

Suppose after t sec of  throw camera reach balloon then,

distance travel by balloon is

s=ut

s=3\times t

and distance travel by camera to reach balloon is

s_1=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

s_1=20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Now

\Rightarrow s_1=5+s

\Rightarrow 20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2 =5+3t

\Rightarrow 5t^2-17t+5=0

\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm \sqrt{17^2-4(5)(5)}}{2\times 5}

\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm 13.747}{10}

\Rightarrow t=0.3253\ s\ \text{and}\ t=3.07\ s

There are two times when camera reaches the same level as balloon and the smaller time is associated with with the first one .

(b)When passenger catches the camera time is  t=0.3253\ s

velocity is given by

v=u+at

v=20-10\times 0.3253

v=16.747\ m/s

and position of camera is same as of balloon so

Position is =5+3\times 0.3253

=5.975\approx 6\ m

When a bat uses echolocation to determine the distance to an insect, it sends out a sound wave and waits to see how long the sou
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance travelled by sound in going to target( insect )  and returning back = 2d ,d is distance of target .

time t = .06 s

speed = distance / time

344.9 = 2d / .06

d = 10.35 m

4 This question has several parts that must be completed sequentially. If you skip a part of the question, you will not receive
zubka84 [21]

Answer:at 21.6 min they were separated by 12 km

Explanation:

We can consider the next diagram

B2------15km/h------->Dock

|

|

B1 at 20km/h

|

|

V

So by the time B1 leaves, being B2 traveling at constant 15km/h and getting to the dock one hour later means it was at 15km from the dock, the other boat, B1 is at a distance at a given time, considering constant speed of 20km/h*t going south, where t is in hours, meanwhile from the dock the B2 is at a distance of (15km-15km/h*t), t=0, when it is 8pm.

Then we have a right triangle and the distance from boat B1 to boat B2, can be measured as the square root of (15-15*t)^2 +(20*t)^2. We are looking for a minimum, then we have to find the derivative with respect to t. This is 5*(25*t-9)/(sqrt(25*t^2-18*t+9)), this derivative is zero at t=9/25=0,36 h = 21.6 min, now to be sure it is a minimum we apply the second derivative criteria that states that if the second derivative at the given critical point is positive it means here we have a minimum, and by calculating the second derivative we find it is 720/(25 t^2 - 18 t + 9)^(3/2) that is positive at t=9/25, then we have our answer. And besides replacing the value of t we get the distance is 12 km.

1. A 4-N force is used to move an object 2 m in 10 s. Which of the following is the power generated while moving the object?
guajiro [1.7K]

Power is the work done per unit time. Therefore,

\begin{gathered} p=\frac{w}{t} \\ \text{where} \\ w=\text{work done} \\ t=\text{time} \end{gathered}

Therefore,

\begin{gathered} \text{work done=fd} \\ f=force=4N \\ d=\text{displacement}=2m \\ t=2\sec s \\ p=\frac{fd}{t}=\frac{4\times2}{10}=\frac{8}{10}=0.8watts \end{gathered}
