Is there a such thing as an elastic collision? Why do we study the case of the elastic collision in Physics?

1 answer:

6 0

Yes there is an elastic collision in physics its when a collision occurs but no kinetic energy is loss. We study them in order to understand how to conserve momentum.

If the mass of a material is 50 grams and the volume of the material is 12 cm^3, what would the density of the material be?

AlekseyPX

The density of the material would be
25/6 grams per cm^3.
to obtain the result above this is what we do:
density is calculated as: (the mass of the given material or object) / volume of the material
which leads us to 50grams /12cm^3

A 5.00-A current runs through a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5 * 1028 free ele

evablogger [386]

Answer:

a)n= 3.125 x $10^{19$ electrons.

b)J= 1.515 x $10^{6$ A/m²

c) $V_{d$ =1.114 x $10^{4$ m/s

d) see explanation

Explanation:

Current 'I' = 5A =>5C/s

diameter 'd'= 2.05 x $10^{-3$ m

radius 'r' = d/2 => 1.025 x $10^{-3$ m

no. of electrons 'n'= 8.5 x $10^{28}$

a) the amount of electrons pass through the light bulb each second can be determined by:

I= Q/t

Q= I x t => 5 x 1

Q= 5C

As we know that: Q= ne

where e is the charge of electron i.e 1.6 x $10^{-19$ C

n= Q/e => 5/ 1.6 x $10^{-19$

n= 3.125 x $10^{19$ electrons.

b) the current density 'J' in the wire is given by

J= I/A => I/πr²

J= 5 / (3.14 x (1.025x $10^{-3$ )²)

J= 1.515 x $10^{6$ A/m²

c) The typical speed' $V_{d$ ' of an electron is given by:

$V_{d$ = $\frac{J}{n|q|}$

=1.515 x $10^{6$ / 8.5 x $10^{28}$ x |-1.6 x $10^{-19$ |

$V_{d$ =1.114 x $10^{4$ m/s

d) According to these equations,

J= I/A

$V_{d$ = $\frac{J}{n|q|}$ = $\frac{I}{nA|q|}$

If you were to use wire of twice the diameter, the current density and drift speed will change

Increase in the diameter increase the cross sectional area and decreases the current density as it has inverse relation.

Also drift velocity will decrease as it is inversely proportional to the area

A) 1.2-kg ball is hanging from the end of a rope. The rope hangs at an angle 20° from the vertical when a 19 m/s horizontal wind

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Part a)

$F_v = 4.28 N$

Part B)

$L = 1.02 m$

Part C)

$v = 1.25 m/s$

Explanation:

Part A)

As we know that ball is hanging from the top and its angle with the vertical is 20 degree

so we will have

$Tcos\theta = mg$

$T sin\theta = F_v$

$\frac{F_v}{mg} = tan\theta$

$F_v = mg tan\theta$

$F_v = 1.2\times 9.81 (tan20)$

$F_v = 4.28 N$

Part B)

Here we can use energy theorem to find the distance that it will move

$-\mu mg cos\theta L + mg sin\theta L = -\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$(-(0.37)m(9.81) cos15 + m(9.81) sin15)L = - \frac{1}{2}m(1.4)^2$

$(-3.5 + 2.54)L = - 0.98$

$L = 1.02 m$

Part C)

At terminal speed condition we know that

$F_v = mg$

$bv^2 = mg$

$2.5 v^2 = 3.9$

$v = 1.25 m/s$

An object starts at rest. Its acceleration over 30 seconds is shown in the graph below:

ddd [48]

Answer:

The instantaneous speed of the object after the first five seconds is 12.5 m/s.

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

An object starts at rest. Its acceleration over 30 seconds.

We need to calculate the instantaneous speed of the object after the first five seconds

We know that,

Area under the acceleration -time graph gives speed.

According to figure,

$speed = area\ of\ tringle$

$speed=\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times h$

$speed =\dfrac{1}{2}\times5\times5$

$speed-12.5\ m/s$

Hence, The instantaneous speed of the object after the first five seconds is 12.5 m/s.
