Two identical cars A and B are at rest on a loading dock with brakes released. Car C, of a slightly different style but of the s

ame weight, has been pushed by dockworkers and hits car B with a velocity of 1.5 m/s. Knowing that the coefficient of restitution is 0.8 between B and C, and it is 0.5 between A and B, determine the velocity of each car after all collisions have taken place

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity after first collision be v₁ and v₂ of car A and B . car A will bounce back .

velocity of approach = 1.5 - 0 = 1.5

velocity of separation = v₁ + v₂

coefficient of restitution = velocity of separation / velocity of approach

.8 = v₁ + v₂ / 1.5

v₁ + v₂ = 1.2

applying law of conservation of momentum

m x 1.5 + 0 = mv₂ - mv₁

1.5 = v₂ - v₁

adding two equation

2 v ₂= 2.7

v₂ = 1.35 m /s

v₁ = - .15 m / s

During second collision , B will collide with stationary A . Same process will apply in this case also. Let velocity of B and A after collision be v₃ and v₄.

For second collision ,

coefficient of restitution = velocity of separation / velocity of approach

.5 = v₃ + v₄ / 1.35

v₃ + v₄ = .675

applying law of conservation of momentum

m x 1.35 + 0 = mv₄ - mv₃

1.35 = v₄ - v₃

adding two equation

2 v ₄= 2.025

v₄ = 1.0125 m /s

v₃ = - 0 .3375  m / s

The product of m1m2 in the formula for gravitational force is always
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is the second option

Explanation:

The formula in question (for gravitational force) is provided below

F = G.m₁.m₂/r²

Where

F = force of gravity

G = gravity constant (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ m.kg⁻¹.s⁻²)

m₁ and m₂ = are the masses of the objects

r² = distance between the centers of the two objects

From the above, <u>it can be deduced that m₁ and m₂ are masses and hence can only be positive. Positives multiplied together only gives positive, thus the second option is correct.</u>

During a softball game, a batter hits a ball upward from an initial height of 3 feet. the height, in feet, of the softball is gi
Lynna [10]

Answer: 3.55 s and 0.83 s

Explanation:

The height (in feet) of the softball is given by:

s(t)=-16t²+70t+3

we need to find the time when the ball is 50 feet above the ground:

⇒50 = -16t²+70t+3

we need to solve the quadratic equation

⇒16t²-70t+47 = 0

t=\frac{70\pm \sqrt{70^2-4(16)(47)}}{2(16)}

This gives two values of time: 3.55 s and 0.83 s
