Answer:

The kinetic energy of the system after the collision is 9 J.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of object 1, m₁ = 3 kg

Speed of object 1, v₁ = 2 m/s

Mass of object 2, m₂ = 6 kg

Speed of object 2, v₂ = -1 m/s (it is moving in left)

Since, the collision is elastic. The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is equal to the kinetic energy of the system after the collision. Let it is E. So,

E=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_1^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\ kg\times (2\ m/s)^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6\ kg\times (-1\ m/s)^2

E = 9 J

So, the kinetic energy of the system after the collision is 9 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

The spherical side mirror on a car is convex and has a radius of curvature of 25 cm. Another car is following, 20 m behind the m
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

(D) 0.99 cm

Explanation:

Given that the radius of curvature of the mirror is 25 cm.

And another car is following which is behind the mirror of 20 m.

u=20m=2000cm

Focal length is half of the radius of curvature and it is negative for convex lens.

Now the mirror formula.

1/v+1/u=1/f

So,

1/v+1/2000=-1/(25/2)\\1/v=-1/2000-1/12.5\\v=-12.422cm

Now

Magnification is,

m=-v/u

So,

m=12.422/2000=0.00621

So, Height of the image

mh=0.00621\times 1.6 m\\mh=0.0099m\\mh=0.99cm

Therefore, the image height is 0.99 cm.

A 195 g glider is moving at 5.3 m/s on a frictionless air track. It then collides with a stationary 295 g glider.
lord [1]

Answer:For a perfectly elastic collision, the final velocities of the carts will each be 1/2 the velocity of the initial velocity of the moving cart. For a perfectly inelastic collision, the final velocity of the cart system will be 1/2 the initial velocity of the moving cart.
