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

If a cart of a roller coaster has a mass of 250kg and is at a height of 14 meters. What is the cart's potential energy?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

3430000 J

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is PE=mgh.

M being the mass, g being the force of gravity, and h being the height.

First thing you want to do is convert 250 kg to g (grams).

From there you get 25000g and you have to multiply that by 14m and 9.8m/s^2 (the force of gravity is constant, at least on earth).

These biogeochemical cycles, from its terminology and discernable word morphology- involves the biological, geological and chemical components that make out to complete an exact and purposed cycle. The purpose in these cycles are to maintain balance and to ensure the ongoing process of the living and non-living organisms in the environment. These cycles’ help to living organisms survive and thrive. One popular example is the water cycle. </span>
