Each croquet ball in a set has a mass of 0.53 kg. The green ball, traveling at 14.4 m/s, strikes the blue ball, which is at rest

. Assuming that the balls slide on a frictionless surface and all collisions are head-on, find the final speed of the blue ball in each of the following situations: a) The green ball stops moving after it strikes the blue ball. Answer in units of m/s.b) The green ball continues moving after the collision at 2.4 m/s in the same direction. Answer in units of m/s. c) The green ball continues moving after the collision at 0.9 m/s in the same direction. Answer in units of m/s.

a) 14.4 m/s

The problem can be solved by using the law of conservation of total momentum; in  fact, the total initial momentum must be equal to the final total momentum:

p_i = p_f

So we have:

m_g u_g + m_b u_b = m_g v_g + m_b v_b (1)

where

m_b = m_g = m = 0.53 kg is the mass of each ball

u_g = 14.4 m/s is the initial velocity of the green ball

u_b = 0 is the initial velocity of the blue ball

v_g=0 is the final velocity of the green ball

v_b is the final velocity of the blue ball

Simplifying the mass in the equation and solving for v_b, we find

v_b = u_g = 14.4 m/s

b) 12.0 m/s

This time, the green ball continues moving after the collision at

v_g = 2.4 m/s

So the equation (1) becomes

u_g = v_g + v_b

And solving for v_b we find

v_b = u_g - v_g = 14.4 m/s-2.4 m/s=12.0 m/s

c) 13.5 m/s

This time, the green ball continues moving after the collision at

v_g = 0.9 m/s

So the equation (1) becomes

u_g = v_g + v_b

And solving for v_b we find

v_b = u_g - v_g = 14.4 m/s-0.9 m/s=13.5 m/s

Which forces are shown on a free body diagram?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

What is a Free Body Diagram?

The free body diagram helps you understand and solve static and dynamic problem involving forces. It is a diagram including all forces acting on a given object without the other object in the system. You need to first understand all the forces acting on the object and then represent these force by arrows in the direction of the force to be drawn.

If the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis if the speed is steadily increasing could the speef line ever become perfec
Phantasy [73]

A graph of real speed can have a section that's as steep as you want,
but it can never be a perfectly vertical section.

Any vertical line on a graph, even it it's only a tiny tiny section, means
that at that moment in time, the speed had many different values.

It also means that the speed took no time to change from one value to
another, and THAT would mean infinite acceleration.

20. Consider a model steel bridge that is 1/100 the exact scale of the real bridge that is to be built. a. If the model bridge w
Veseljchak [2.6K]
The model bridge captures all the structural attributes of the real bridge, at a reduced scale.

Part a.
Note that volume is proportional to the cube of length. Therefore the actual bridge will have 100^3 = 10^6 times the mass of the model bridge.

Because the model bridge weighs 50 N, the real bridge weighs
(50 N)*10^6 = 50 MN.

Part b.
The model bridge matches the structural characteristics of the actual bridge.
Therefore the real bridge will not sag either.

Estimate and determine the order of magnitude of the circumference of the Earth in miles and the speed of a sailboat in miles pe
solmaris [256]

Answer:

= 1000 hours

Explanation:

Earth's circumference is 10⁴ mile

speed of a sailboat is 10¹ mile/hour

distance = speed × time

10⁴ = 10¹  × t

t = 10⁴ / 10¹

t = 10³

= 1000 hours
