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.

How is "one second time" defined in SI system?​
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Since 1997: A second is a time equal to 9,192,631,770 periods of radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom.

This definition refers to a caesium atom at rest at a temperature of 0 K

The center of gravity of a loaded truck depends on how the truck is packed. If it is 4.0 m high and 2.4 m wide, and its CG is 2.
Vitek1552 [10]

The slope of the road can be given as the ratio of the change in vertical

distance per unit change in horizontal distance.

  • The maximum steepness of the slope where the truck can be parked without tipping over is approximately <u>54.55 %</u>.

Reasons:

Width of the truck = 2.4 meters

Height of the truck = 4.0 meters

Height of the center of gravity = 2.2 meters

Required:

The allowable steepness of the slope the truck can be parked without tipping over.

Solution:

Let, <em>C</em> represent the Center of Gravity, CG

At the tipping point, the angle of elevation of the slope = θ

Where;

tan\left(\theta \right) = \dfrac{\overline{AM}}{\overline{CM}}

The steepness of the slope is therefore;

\mathrm{The \ steepness \  of  \ the  \ slope}= \dfrac{\overline{AM}}{\overline{CM}} \times 100

Where;

\overline{AM} = Half the width of the truck = \dfrac{2.4 \, m}{2} = 1.2 m

\overline{CM} = The elevation of the center of gravity above the ground = 2.2 m

\mathrm{The \ steepness \  of  \ the  \ slope}= \dfrac{1.2}{2.2} \times 100 \approx 54.55\%

tan\left(\theta \right) = \mathbf{\dfrac{2.2}{1.2}} = \dfrac{11}{6}

Elevation \ of \ the \ road \ \theta = arctan\left( \dfrac{6}{11} \right)  \approx 28.6 ^{\circ}

The maximum steepness of the slope where the truck can be parked is <u>54.55 %</u>.

What is your weight on Venus, assuming that the acceleration due to gravity on Venus is 8.875 m/s^2 and your mass is 50 kg.
Volgvan

Answer:

Weight on Venus = 443.75 N

Explanation:

Weight of a body is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

So we have

       Weight =  Mass x Acceleration due to gravity

        W = mg

        Mass, m = 50 kg

        Acceleration due to gravity, g = 8.875 m/s²

        W = 50 x 8.875 = 443.75 N

Weight on Venus = 443.75 N
