Two steel balls, of masses m1=1.00 kg and m2=2.00 kg, respectively, are hung from the ceiling with light strings next to each ot

her. If m1 is pulled up and released from rest at a height of 1.00 m, what are the maximum heights achieved by (a) m1 and (b) m2 after an elastic collision?

Answer:

(a) The maximum height achieved by the first ball, m₁ is 0.11 m

(a) The maximum height achieved by the second ball, m₂ ball is 0.44 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first ball, m₁ = 1 kg

mass of the second ball, m₂ = 2 kg

The velocity of the first when released from a height of 1 m before collision;

u₁² = u₀² + 2gh

u₀ = 0, since it was released from rest

u₁² =  2gh

u₁² = 2 x 9.8 x 1

u₁² = 19.6

u₁ = √19.6

u₁ = 4.427 m/s

The velocity of the second ball before collision, u₂ = 0

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum, to determine the velocity of the balls after an elastic collision.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where;

v₁ is the final velocity of the first ball after an elastic collision

v₂ is the final velocity of the second ball after an elastic collision

m₁u₁ + m₂(0) = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

m₁u₁ =  m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

1 x 4.427 = v₁ + 2v₂

v₁ + 2v₂ = 4.427

v₁  = 4.427 - 2v₂  ----- equation (1)

one directional velocity;

u₁ + v₁ = u₂ + v₂

u₂ = 0

u₁ + v₁ = v₂

v₁ = v₂ - u₁

v₁ = v₂ - 4.427 ------ equation (2)

Substitute v₁ into equation (1)

v₂ - 4.427 = 4.427 - 2v₂

3v₂ = 4.427 + 4.427

3v₂  = 8.854

v₂ = 8.854 / 3

v₂  = 2.95 m/s (→ forward direction)

v₁ = v₂ - 4.427

v₁ = 2.95 - 4.427

v₁  = - 1.477 m/s

v₁  = 1.477 m/s ( ← backward direction)

Apply the law of conservation of mechanical energy

mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2

(a) The maximum height achieved by the first ball (v₁  = 1.477 m/s)

mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 \\\\gh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max}  =  \frac{1}{2g}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max}  = \frac{1}{2*9.8}(1.477^2)\\\\ h_{max}  = 0.11 \ m

(b) The maximum height achieved by the second ball (v₂  = 2.95 m/s)

mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 \\\\gh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max}  =  \frac{1}{2g}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max}  = \frac{1}{2*9.8}(2.95^2)\\\\ h_{max}  = 0.44 \ m

An automobile starter motor has an equivalent resistance of 0.0500Ω and is supplied by a 12.0-V battery with a 0.0100-Ω internal
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer

given,

resistance = 0.05 Ω

internal resistance of battery = 0.01 Ω

electromotive force = 12 V

a) ohm's law

        V = IR

     and volage

   V = \epsilon - Ir

now,

   IR = \epsilon - Ir

   I(R+r) = \epsilon

   I= \dfrac{\epsilon}{R+r}

inserting the values

   I= \dfrac{12}{0.05+0.01}

      I = 200 A

b) Voltage

   V = I R

   V = 200 x 0.05

   V = 10 V

c) Power

    P = I V

    P = 200 x 10 = 2000 W

d) total resistance = 0.05 + 0.09 = 0.14 Ω

 I= \dfrac{\epsilon}{R+r}

   I= \dfrac{12}{0.14+0.01}

     I = 80 A

     V = 80 x 0.05 = 4 V

     P = 4 x 80 = 320 W

James accelerates his skate board uniformly along a straight road from rest to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. What is James Acceleration?
lawyer [7]

Given:

u(initial velocity)=0

v(final velocity)= 10 m/s

t= 4 sec

Now we know that

v= u + at

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration measured in m/s^2

t is the time measured in sec

10=0+ax4

a=10/4

a=2.5 m/s^2

What is the half-reaction that occurs at the cathode during the electrolysis of molten potassium bromide?
polet [3.4K]

The complete ionization of KBr into its constituents is:<span>
<span>KBr (s)  --->  K+ (aq)  +  Br- (aq)</span></span>

<span>
During electrolysis, oxidation takes place at the anode electrode. This means that an ion is stripped off its electron hence becoming more positive:
<span>2 Br- (aq)  --->  Br2 (g) + 2e- </span></span>

We can see that Bromine gas Br2 is evolved at the anode. 

<span>
<span>Meanwhile at the cathode, the reduction reaction occurs. Which means that the electron from the anode electrode is used to make an ion more negative:
<span>2K+ (aq)  +  2e-  --->  2K (s) </span></span>
Hence, through reduction, solid potassium is deposited on the plate.</span>

 

 

Half reactions:

<span>Anode: 2 Br- (aq)  --->  Br2 (g) + 2e- </span>                       

<span>Cathode: 2K+ (aq)  +  2e-  --->  2K (s) </span>

The temperature at 8:00
musickatia [10]
Change in temperature = final temperature - Initial temperature 
Δt = t₂ - t₁
Δt = 17 - (-6)
Δt = 17 + 6 = 23 f

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!
