In a closed system with no friction, a red sphere of 2.5 kg stands stationary. A blue sphere with a mass of 5.8 kg approaches th

e first sphere with a speed of 4.1 m/s. The two collide. After the collision, the blue sphere begins moving forward with a speed of 1.3 m/s. What is the velocity of the red sphere after the collision? (Show all work)

Answer:

m1 = the mass of the blue sphere = 5.8 kg

m2 = the mass of the red sphere = 2.5 kg

v1 = initial velocity of the blue sphere before the collision = 4.1 m/s

v2 = initial velocity of the red sphere before the collision = 0 m/s

v'1 = final velocity of the blue sphere after the collision = 1.3 m/s

v'2 = final velocity of the red sphere after the collision = ?

using conservation of momentum

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v'1 + m2v'2

(5.8) (4.1) + (2.5) (0) = (5.8) (1.3) + (2.5) (v'2)

23.78 = 7.54 + (2.5) (v'2)

-7.54    -7.54

16.24 = (2.5) v'2

---------   -----------

 2.5         2.5

v'2 = 6.5

A container is filled with water to a depth of 26.2 cm. On top of the water floats a 16.1 cm thick layer of oil with a density of
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

1.34 x 10^3 Pa

Explanation:

density of oil = 0.85 x 10^3 kg/m^3

g = 9.81 m/s^2

height of oil column = 16.1 cm = 0.161 m

Pressure on the surface of water = height of oil column x density of oil x g

                                                      = 0.161 x 0.85 x 10^3 x 9.81 = 1.34 x 10^3 Pa

Thus, the pressure on the surface of water is 1.34 x 10^3 Pa.

What determines how long it takes for the capacitor to charge?
myrzilka [38]

The time constant determines how long it takes for the capacitor to charge.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the time constant of the capacitor.

<h3>What is time constant?</h3>
  • The time it takes for a capacitor to discharge 36.8% of its charge in a discharging circuit or charge up to 63.2% of its maximum capacity in a charging circuit, given that it has no initial charge, is the time constant of a resistor-capacitor series combination.
  • The circuit's reaction to a step-up (or constant) voltage input is likewise determined by the time constant.
  • As a result, the time constant determines the circuit's cutoff frequency.

Thus, we can conclude that, the time constant determines how long it takes for the capacitor to charge.

if the 50 kg object slows down to a velocity of 1 m/s how much kinetic energy does it have 100j 50j 25j or none
rodikova [14]

ek =  \frac{1}{2}m {v}^{2}

ek =  \frac{1}{2}(50) {(1)}^{2}

ek =  \frac{1}{2}(50)

ek = 25j

//

I'm not really sure but I do know that it's not 0 because the object is still moving, even if it's only moving at 1 m/s.

What happens in a nucleus during beta decay
Jet001 [13]

The number of protons plus the number of neutrons decreases

Beta decay occurs when, in a nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons is transformed into the other. In beta minus decay, a neutron decays into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino: n Æ p + e - +.
