g Two masses are involved in a collision on an axis (one dimensional). One mass is six times the mass of the second. Both masses

are moving to the right before they collide and the heavier mass is further right then the lighter mass. The lighter mass has an initial speed of 4m/s and the heavier mass has an initial speed of 2m/s to the right. What is the final speed and direction of each mass mass? Was the collision elastic or inelastic and why?

Answer:

v₁f = 0.5714 m/s   (→)

v₂f = 2.5714 m/s   (→)

e = 1  

It was a perfectly elastic collision.

Explanation:

m₁ = m

m₂ = 6m₁ = 6m

v₁i = 4 m/s

v₂i = 2 m/s

v₁f = ((m₁ – m₂) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₁i +  ((2m₂) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₂i

v₁f = ((m – 6m) / (m + 6m)) * (4) +  ((2*6m) / (m + 6m)) * (2)  

v₁f = 0.5714 m/s   (→)

v₂f = ((2m₁) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₁i +  ((m₂ – m₁) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₂i

v₂f = ((2m) / (m + 6m)) * (4) + ((6m -m) / (m + 6m)) * (2)

v₂f = 2.5714 m/s   (→)

e = - (v₁f - v₂f) / (v₁i - v₂i)   ⇒   e = - (0.5714 - 2.5714) / (4 - 2) = 1  

It was a perfectly elastic collision.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

sample. rewrite in your own words if you'd like.

Explanation:

Since the hydrangeas are changing color depending on whether the soil is acidic or basic, they must have an indicator. This means that any hydrangea planted in acidic soil will have blue flowers and any hydrangea planted in basic soil will have pink. One common indicator present in many plants is anthocyanin, so maybe hydrangeas contain that chemical.

Explanation:

A micrometer is a measuring device or an instrument which is used to measure very minute measurements very accurately and precisely. It is mathematical tool used to provide accurate measurement for any mechanical components.

Now, if the micrometer that I have found is badly bent, it would provide faulty or wrong measurements both in terms of  precision and accuracy when compared to a high quality meter stick.
