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.

A point charge of 6.0 nC is placed at the center of a hollow spherical conductor (inner radius = 1.0 cm, outer radius = 2.0 cm)
egoroff_w [7]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

             q = 6.0 nC = 6 \times 10^{-9} C

         inner radius (r) = 1.0 cm = 0.01 m   (as 1 cm = 100 m)

So, there will be same charge on the inner surface as the charge enclosed with an opposite sign.

Formula to calculate the charge density is as follows.

            \sigma = \frac{q_{in}}{A} .......... (1)

Since, area of the sphere is as follows.

               A = 4 \pi r^{2} ........... (2)

Hence, substituting equation (2) in equation (1) as follows.

      \sigma = \frac{q_{in}}{4 \pi r^{2}}

                   = \frac{6 \times 10^{-9} C}{4 \times 3.14 \times (0.01)^{2}}            

                   = 0.477 \times 10^{-5}

or,               = 4.77 \mu C/m^{2}

Thus, we can conclude that the resulting charge density on the inner surface of the conducting sphere is 4.77 \mu C/m^{2}.

A glass falls from a table top and smashes on the floor 0.6 seconds later. How high is the table?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

1.8 m

Explanation:

Given: Glass falls from a table, smashes 0.6 seconds later

To find: How high a table is

Formula: Vv=gt, dv=1/2gt^2, t=2d/g

Solution: A table's <em>height</em> is measured from the top of the edge down to the floor. The tables are shown both have a height of 30 inches, which is common for many tables.

<u>Data</u>

  • t = 0.6s
  • g = 9.81 m/s²
  • d = ?

<u>Equation</u>

  • d = \frac{1}{2}gt²

<u>Math & Units</u>

  • d = 4.905 (0.6²)
  • d = 442.676

Hence the table is 1.8 m high
