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.

Jodi made a list about electric current to help her study for a test. 1) Movement of electrons is continuous in a current. 2) El
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Rate at which current flows is measured in amperes

Explanation:

The rate of flow of electrons constitutes the current. The electrons flow from lower electric potential to higher electric potential. When there is no potential difference then no electron will flow. The direction of the current and the electron are in opposite direction.

The direction of electron from the negative terminal to the positive terminal. The direction of current is from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.The current is measured in ampere.    

The expression for current and the charge is as;

I=\frac{q}{t}

Here, q is the charge, t is the time taken and I is the current.

According to the given problem, Jodi made a list about electric current to help her study for a test. He described that electrons move from areas of low to high electric potential, voltage causes current to flow and movement of electrons is continuous in a current.

But he did error. It should be "rate at which charges flow" instead of rate at which current flow.

Therefore, the option (4) is correct.

What is the mass of metal if it has a density of 12.459 hg/cm^3 and displaces 28.7cm^3 of water ​
natima [27]

Answer:

357.6g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Density  = 12.459g/cm³

Volume of metal  = 28.7cm³

Unknown:

Mass of metal = ?

Solution:

The density of a substance is its mass per unit volume.

To find the mass;

     Mass of metal  = density x volume

Now insert the parameters and solve;

    Mass of metal  = 12.459 x 28.7  = 357.6g

A fuel pump sends gasoline from a car's fuel tank to the engine at a rate of 5.64 10-2 kg/s. the density of the gasoline is 735
Irina18 [472]
Given:
Gasoline pumping rate, R = 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s
Density of gasoline, D = 735 kg/m³
Radius of fuel line, r = 3.43 x 10⁻³ m

Calculate the cross sectional area of the fuel line.
A = πr² = π(3.43 x 10⁻³ m)² = 3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²

Let v =  speed of pumping the gasoline, m/s
Then the mass flow rate is 
M = AvD = (3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²)*(v m/s)*(735 kg/m³) = 0.027166v kg/s

The gasoline pumping rate is given as 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s, therefore
0.027166v = 0.0564
v = 2.076 m/s

Answer:  2.076 m/s
The gasoline moves through the fuel line at 2.076 m/s.

A truck contains both hydraulic brakes (reliability 0.96) and mechanical brakes (reliability 0.99). What is the probability of s
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

i) 0.9504

ii) 0.0452

Explanation:

Given data: reliability of hydraulic brakes= 0.96

reliability of mechanical brakes = 0.99

So the probability of stopping the truck = 0.96×0.99= 0.9504

At low speed

case: A works and B does not

= 0.96×(1-0.99) = 0.0096

case2 : B works and A does not

= 0.99×(1-0.96) = 0.0396

Therefore, probality of stopping = 0.0096+0.0396 = 0.0492
