A moving curling stone, A, collides head on with stationary stone, B. Stone B has a larger mass than stone A. If friction is neg

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'c': Smaller stone rebounds while as larger stone remains stationary.

Explanation:

Let the velocity and the mass of the smaller stone be 'm' and 'v' respectively

and the mass of big rock be 'M'

Initial momentum of the system equals

$p_i=mv+0=mv$

Now let after the collision the small stone move with a velocity v' and the big roch move with a velocity V'

Thus the final momentum of the system is

$p_f=mv'+MV'$

Equating initial and the final momenta we get

$mv=mv'+MV'\\\\m(v-v')=MV'.....i$

Now since the surface is frictionless thus the energy is also conserved thus

$E_i=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Similarly the final energy becomes

$E_f=\frac{1}{2}mv'^2+\frac{1}{2}MV'^2$ \

Equating initial and final energies we get

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}mv'^2+\frac{1}{2}MV'^2\\\\mv^2=mv'^2+MV'^2\\\\m(v^2-v'^2)=MV'^2\\\\m(v-v')(v+v')=MV'^2......(ii)$

Solving i and ii we get

$v+v'=V'$

Using this in equation i we get

$v'=\frac{v(m-M)}{(M-m)}=-v$

Thus putting v = -v' in equation i we get V' = 0

This implies Smaller stone rebounds while as larger stone remains stationary.

Defined the term electromagnetic induction and explain how a generator uses electromagnetic induction

tatuchka [14]

Is the production of electricity by magnetic field.

There are two types of generator which is D.C generator . And A.C generator

A.C gen consist of rectangular coil,brushes and permanent magnet

According to the external force mechanical energy used to rotate coil, due to magnetic flux produced by permanent magnet create induced current, this is to according to flemmings right hand rule of electromagnetic induction the rotating coil will produce current

I hope that will help.

A physical system that is isolated from its environment is:

kompoz [17]

Closed

Explanation:

A physical system that is isolated from its environment is said to be a closed system.

In a closed system, energy can be exchange but matter cannot be exchanged.

A closed system sightly permits the only certain types of exchange.
These systems are usually used to control and limit the impact of the environment on a system.
Experiments can be conducted on the premises of any the interactions.
