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

Alchen [17]

The mass of methane will produce as much energy as a single gram of uranium-235 1,287 kilograms of methane. Option D is correct.

<h3>What is uranium?</h3>

Uranium, with the atomic number 92 and the symbol U in the periodic table, is a weakly radioactive element. One of the heavy metals that may be used as a concentrated energy source is uranium.

Given data;

⇒One mole of U-235 = 235 grams

=> 1 gram of U-235 = 1/235 moles

⇒1 mole of U-235 = 6.023 x 10²³ atoms

The no of atoms is;

=> 1/235 moles of U-235

⇒N = 6.023 x 10²³/235 atoms

⇒N=25.6 x 10²⁰ atoms

If one atom of U-235 gives is 189 x 10⁶ eV energy,25.6 x 10²⁰ atoms of U-235 gives;

=> 25.6 x 10²⁰ atoms of U-235 gives;

E = 25.6 x 10²⁰ x 189 x 10⁶

E= 4.8 x 10²⁹ eV energy

One methane molecule produces;

E = 10 eV of energy

=> To produce 4.8 x 10²⁹ eV energy, no. of molecules required;

= 4.8 x 10²⁸

6.032 x 10²³ molecules of methane = 16 gms

=> 4.8 x 10²⁸ molecules of methane = 16 x 4.8 x 10²⁸/ 6.032 x 10²³ gms

m= 12.75 x 10⁵ gms

m= 1275 kilograms of methane

m≅ 1287 kilograms of methane

1 gram of U-235 has the same amount of energy as 1287 kilograms of methane.

Hence option D is correct,

5. What is the amount of force required to accelerate a 20 kg object at a rate of 5 m/sz?
GenaCL600 [577]

Force required is 100 N

<u>Given that;</u>

Rate of acceleration = 5 m/s²

Mass of object = 20kg

<u>Find:</u>

Force required

<u>Computation:</u>

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Force required = Rate of acceleration × Mass of object

Force required = 20 × 5

Force required = 100 N
