<u>Answer</u>

= 16 m/s


<u>Explanation</u>

The law conservation of energy states that, momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision.

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

momentum before collision = (0.40 × v) + (0.40 × 0)

= 0.4v Km/s

momentum after collision = (0.40+0.40) × 8.0

= 0.8 ×8.0

= 6.4 Km/s

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

0.4v Km/s = 6.4 Km/s

v = 6.4/0.4

= 16 m/s

This problem can be solved through the Inelastic Collision Formula:
mass1 x in.velocity1 + mass2 x in.velocity2 = mass1+mass2 (final velocity)

Substituting the values, we have:
0.40 kg x in.velocity1 + 0.40 kg x 0 m/s = 0.80 kg (8.0m/s)

Solving for the unknown initial velocity of the moving hockey puck we have:
in.velocity1 = (6.4 kgm/s - 0) / 0.40 kg
= 16 m/s

What is the acceleration along the ground of a 10 kg wagon when it is pulled with a force of 44 N at an angle of 35° above the
Olegator [25]

The acceleration of the wagon along the ground is 3.6 m/s².

To solve the problem above, we need to use the formula of acceleration as related to force and mass.

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity.

⇒ Formula:

  • Fcos∅ = ma................. Equation 1

⇒ Where:

  • F = Force
  • ∅ = angle above the horizontal
  • m = mass of the wagon
  • a = acceleration of the wagon

⇒ make a the subject of equation 1

  • a = Fcos∅/m..................... Equation 2

From the question,

⇒ Given:

  • F = 44 N
  • ∅ = 35°
  • m = 10 kg

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 2

  • a = 44(cos35°)/10
  • a = 44(0.8191)/10
  • a = 3.6 m/s²

Hence, The acceleration of the wagon along the ground is 3.6 m/s²

How are humans able to perceive light waves? Sound waves?
Vesna [10]
Sound and light are similar in that both are forms of energy that travel in waves. They both have properties of wavelength, freqency and amplitude. ... Sound is a form of mechanical energy caused by vibrations of matter. Light is electromagnetic energy caused by interacting electric and magnetic fields.

What is power in physics​
Shkiper50 [21]

Edit

In physics, power is the rate of doing work or of transferring heat, i.e. the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time. Having no direction, it is a scalarquantity. In the International System of Units, the unit of power is the joule per second (J/s), known as the watt in honour of James Watt, the eighteenth-century developer of the condenser steam engine. Another common and traditional measure is horsepower (comparing to the power of a horse). Being the rate of work, the equation for power can be written:

Power

Common symbols

Derivations from

other quantities

P = E/t

P = F·v

P = V·I

P = T·ω

As a physical concept, power requires both a change in the physical system and a specified time in which the change occurs. This is distinct from the concept of work, which is only measured in terms of a net change in the state of the physical system. The same amount of work is done when carrying a load up a flight of stairs whether the person carrying it walks or runs, but more power is needed for running because the work is done in a shorter amount of time.

If the volume is held constant, what happens to the pressure of a gas as temperature is decreased? Explain.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:Decreases

Explanation:

Given

Volume is held constant that is it is a isochoric process.

We know that

PV=nRT

as n,V& R are constant therefore only variables are

P & T

so \frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

\frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}

As T_1 is decreasing therefore Pressure must also decrease so that ratio remains constant.
