Answer:
the answer is 72.0 units:) thank me later!!!!!!!
Ware them down, its like rubbing two pieces of chalk together.
We can do this with the conservation of momentum. The fact it is elastic means no KE is lost so we don't have to worry about the loss due to sound energy etc.
Firstly, let's calculate the momentum of both objects using p=mv:
Object 1:
p = 0.75 x 8.5 = 6.375 kgm/s
Object 2 (we will make this one negative as it is travelling in the opposite direction):
p = 0.65 x -(7.2) = -4.68 kgm/s
Based on this we know that the momentum is going to be in the direction of object one, and will be 6.375-4.68=1.695 kgm/s
Substituting this into p=mv again:
1.695 = (0.75+0.65) x v
Note I assume here the objects stick together, it doesn't specify - it should!
1.695 = 1.4v
v=1.695/1.4 = 1.2 m/s to the right (to 2sf)
Explanation:
You can solve for volume using radius or diameter.
Sphere Volume = 4/3 • π • r³ = ( π •d³)/6
We're given the diameter so let's use that.
Volume = PI * d^3 / 6
Volume = 3.14159 * 3.0^3 / 6
Volume = 3.14159 * 9 / 2
Volume = 14.137 cubic centimeters
