Answer:B

Explanation:

It is given that the first collision is elastic so we can conserve momentum as well as the kinetic energy of the system.

The value of the coefficient of restitution is equal to one for an elastic collision. An elastic collision is also called a perfectly Elastic collision.

A perfectly inelastic collision is one in which there is the loss of kinetic energy and some of the kinetic energy is converted into another form of energy, for example, internal energy.

although momentum is conserved in Inelastic collision kinetic energy is not conserved.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

D) ¼ as large

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric force between two charges is

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the two charges

r is the separation between them

From the formula we see that the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

In this problem, the distance is doubled:

r'=2r

So the new force will be

F'=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(2r)^2}=\frac{1}{4}k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}=\frac{1}{4}F

So the force will decrease to 1/4 of its original value.

An astronaut weighs 8.00 × 102 newtons on the sur- face of Earth. What is the weight of the astronaut 6.37 × 106 meters above th
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

mg=200.4 N.

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using Newton's law of universal gravitation: F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}},

where F is the gravitational force between two masses m_{1} and m_{2}, r is the distance between the masses (their center of mass), and G=6.674*10^{-11}(m^{3}kg^{-1}s^{-2}) is the gravitational constant.

We know the weight of the astronout on the surface, with this we can find his mass. Letting w_{s} be the weight on the surface:

w_{s}=mg,

mg=8*10^{2},

m=(8*10^{2})/g,

since we now that g=9.8m/s^{2} we get that the mass is

m=81.6kg.

Now we can use Newton's law of universal gravitation

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}},  

where m is the mass of the astronaut and M is the mass of the earth. From Newton's second law we know that

F=ma,

in this case the acceleration is the gravity so

F=mg, (<u>becarefull, gravity at this point is no longer</u> 9.8m/s^{2} <u>because we are not in the surface anymore</u>)

and this get us to

mg=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}, where mg is his new weight.

We need to remember that the mass of the earth is M=5.972*10^{24}kg and its radius is 6.37*10^{6}m.

The total distance between the astronaut and the earth is

r=(6.37*10^{6}+6.37*10^{6})=2(6.37*10^{6})=12.74*10^{6} meters.

Now we can compute his weigh:

mg=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}},

mg=(6.674*10^{-11})\frac{(5.972*10^{24})(81.6)}{(12.74*10^{6})^{2}},

mg=200.4 N.

Luke Autbeloe drops an approximately 5.0 kg object (weight = 50.0 N) off the roof of his house into the swimming pool below. Upo
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Graph B represents correct graph for velocity time

Explanation:

Initially the object is dropped under the influence of constant force due to gravity

So here we can say its acceleration is constant due to gravity

hence here the velocity will increase downwards due to gravity and it is given as

v = 0 + (-10)t

now when it enters into the pool an upward force of same magnitude will act on it

so net force on it is

F = 50 - 50 = 0

so here we will have no acceleration and it will move with constant speed after that

so here correct graph is

Graph B

At time t=0 a grinding wheel has an angular velocity of 30.0 rad/s . It has a constant angular acceleration of 35.0 rad/s2 until
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

(A) 570 rad

(B) 10 s

(C) 12.5 rad/s²

Explanation:

The equations of motion for circular motions are used.

  • Initial angular velocity,  \omega_0 = 30.0 \text{ rad/s}
  • Angular acceleration, \alpha =35.0 \text{ rad/s}^2

(A)

At <em>t</em> = 2.00 s, the angular displacement, <em>θ</em>, is given by

\theta = \omega_0t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 = (30\times 2) + \frac{1}{2}\times35\times2^2=60+70 = 130\text{ rad}

After this time, it decelerates through an angular displacement of 440 rad.

Total angular displacement = 130 + 440 rad = 570 rad

(B)

At the time the circuit breaker tips, the angular velocity is given by

\omega = \omega_0+\alpha  t = 30.0+(35.0\times 2) = 30.0+70.0 =100.0\ \text{rad/s}

This becomes the initial angular velocity for the decelerating motion. Because it stops, the final angular velocity is 0 rad/s. The time for this part of the motion is calculated thus:

\theta_2 = \left(\dfrac{\omega_i+\omega_f}{2}\right)t

Here, \theta_2=440 (the angular displacement during deceleration)

The subscripts, <em>i</em> and <em>f</em>, on <em>ω</em> denote the initial and final angular velocities during deceleration.

\omega_i = 100

\omega_f = 0

t = \dfrac{2\theta_2}{\omega_i} = \dfrac{2\times400}{100} = 8\ \text{s}

This is the time for deceleration. The deceleration began at <em>t</em> = 2 s.

Hence, the wheel stops at <em>t</em> = 2 + 8 = 10 s.

(C)

The deceleration is given by

\alpha_R = \dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t} = \dfrac{0-100}{8} = -12.5\text{ rad/s}^2

The negative sign appears because it is a deceleration.
