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 doubly ionized molecule (i.e., a molecule lacking two electrons) moving in a magnetic field experiences a magnetic force of 5.
Kobotan [32]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

           F = 5.75 \times 10^{-16} N

          q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

          v = 385 m/s

       sin (63.9^{o}) = 0.876

Now, we will calculate the magnitude of magnetic field as follows.

              B = \frac{F}{qv sin (\theta)}

                  = \frac{5.75 \times 10^{-16} N}{1.6 \times 10^{-19} C \times 385 m/s \times 0.876}

                  = 0.01065 \times 10^{3} T

                  = 10.65 T

Thus, we can conclude that magnitude of the magnetic field is 10.65 T.

8. An airplane is flying at 200 m/s when it touches the ground at the airport. It has a constant negative acceleration, and slow
Temka [501]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity u = 200m/s

Final velocity = 4m/s

Distance S = 4000m

Required

Acceleration

Substitute the given parameters into the formula

v² = u²+2as

4² = 200²+2a(4000)

16 = 40000+8000a

8000a = 16-40000

8000a = -39,984

a = - 39,984/8000

a = -4.998m/s²

Hence the acceleration is -4.998m/s²

HELP
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The velocity is 60 km/hr.

Explanation:

<h3><u>Given:</u></h3>

Displacement (d) = 480 km = 48000 m

Time (t) = 8 Hours = 480 minute

Velocity (v) = ?

Now,

Velocity = Displacement ÷ Time

v = d/t

v = 480/8

v = 60 km/hr

Thus, The velocity is 60 km/hr.

PLEASE HELPPPPPPPP
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
I think this is AWESOME, but I think the last sentence of your conclusion is a bit off. <span> "If someone has an allergy to oil then they can still eat cake because applesauce makes an amazing substitute for oil." I think that you should say "This recipe is great for those who cannot eat/drink oil, the applesauce is an amazing substitute for oil."

I hope I helped! -Wajiha</span>
