A 5-kg ball collides inelastically head-on with a 10-kg ball, which is initially stationary. Which of the following statements i
1 answer:
a. The magnitude of the change of the momentum of the 5-kg ball is equal to the magnitude of the change of momentum of the 10-kg ball.
c. The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is greater than that of the 10-kg ball.
Explanation:
For an inelastic collision:
- The total momentum of the system is conserved
- The total kinetic energy of the system is not conserved
Using these facts, let's now analyze each statement given.
a. The magnitude of the change of the momentum of the 5-kg ball is equal to the magnitude of the change of momentum of the 10-kg ball. --> TRUE. Since the total momentum is conserved, we can write:
where
is the initial momentum of the 5-kg ball
is the final momentum of the 5-kg ball
is the final momentum of the 10-kg ball
The equation can be rewritten as
which is equivalent to
which means that the magnitude of the change of momentum of the two balls is the same.
b. Both balls lose all their momentum since the collision is inelastic. --> FALSE, the 10-kg ball gains momentum, so it does not lose it.
c. The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is greater than that of the 10-kg ball. --> TRUE. We already said that the magnitude of the change in momentum of the two balls is the same. However, it can be written as
where m is the mass of the ball and its change in velocity. Therefore, the 5-kg ball (which has smaller mass) will have a larger
, so a larger change in velocity.
d. The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is equal to that of the 10-kg ball. --> FALSE, as we discussed in c).
e. The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is less than that of the 10-kg ball. --> FALSE, as we discussed in c).

Wavelength,
Explanation:
Given that,
Number of cycles in a spiral spring is 2.91 in every 3.67 s
The velocity of the pulse in the spring is 0.925 cm/s, v = 0.00925 m/s
To find,
Wavelength
Solution,
Number of cycles per unit time is called frequency of a wave. The frequency of the longitudinal pulse is,
The wavelength of a wave is given by :
So, the wavelength of the longitudinal pulse is 0.011 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

The gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by
where
m = 1.1 kg is the mass of the ball
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity
h is the height of the ball, relative to the reference point chosen
In this part of the problem, the reference point is the ceiling. So, the ball is located 2.16 m below the ceiling: therefore, the heigth is
h = -2.16 m
And the gravitational potential energy is
2. 41.1 J
Again, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by
In this part of the problem, the reference point is the floor.
The height of the ball relative to the floor is equal to the height of the floor minus the length of the string:
h = 5.97 m - 2.16 m = 3.81 m
And so the gravitational potential energy of the ball relative to the floor is
3. 0 J
As before, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by
Here the reference point is a point at the same elevation of the ball.
This means that the heigth of the ball relative to that point is zero:
h = 0 m
And so the gravitational potential energy is
