Two pieces of clay are moving directly toward each other. When they collide, they stick together and move as one piece. One piec

e having mass 300 g is moving to the right at a speed of 1 m/s. The other piece has mass 600 g and is moving to the left at a speed of 0.75 m/s. What fraction of the total initial kinetic energy is lost during the collision?

Answer:

The fraction of the total initial kinetic energy is lost during the collision is \dfrac{11}{17}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one piece = 300 g

Speed of one piece = 1 m/s

Mass of other piece = 600 g

Speed of other piece = 0.75 m/s

We need to calculate the final velocity

Using conservation of energy

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v

Put the value intro the formula

300\times10^{-3}\times1+600\times10^{-3}\times(0.75)=(300\times10^{-3}+600\times10^{-3})v

v=\dfrac{00\times10^{-3}\times1+600\times10^{-3}\times(-0.75)}{(300\times10^{-3}+600\times10^{-3})}

v=-0.5\ m/s

We need to calculate the total initial kinetic energy

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E_{i}=\dfrac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^2

Put the value into the formula

K.E_{i}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times300\times10^{-3}\times1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times600\times10^{-3}\times(0.75)^2

K.E_{i}=0.31875\ J

We need to calculate the total final kinetic energy

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E_{f}=\dfrac{1}{2}(m_{1}+m_{2})v^2

Put the value into the formula

K.E_{f}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times(300\times10^{-3}+600\times10^{-3})\times(-0.5)^2

K.E_{f}=0.1125\ J

We need to calculate the energy lost during the collision

Using formula of energy lost

energy\ lost=\dfrac{0.31875-0.1125}{0.31875}

energy\ lost=\dfrac{11}{17}\ J

Hence, The fraction of the total initial kinetic energy is lost during the collision is \dfrac{11}{17}\ J

Find the sum of the vectors:11 km N ,11km E
vladimir1956 [14]

The resultant vector is 11√2 km due north east.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The vector is a type of quantity which has both magnitude and direction. This quantities when expressed needs to specify both magnitude and direction.

We need to calculate the magnitude and direction separately.

Here firstly for the magnitude,

The magnitudes are both 11 km and they are at right angles to each other.

So, the resultant magnitude = √(11² +11²) km

=11√2 km

Now for the direction, one vector is due north and the other is due east.

So the resultant vector is due north east.

So the final vector is 11√2 km due North-East.

sdas [7]
The best answer would be the 4th choice. "They help scientists explain concepts that are difficult to observe, this also covers the first answer which helps the scientist to answer complex questions. A scientific model is not used prove scientific laws as they may not always have all the data to prove so, instead it is used to allow them to explain better concepts revolving around science through research and may also allow them to predict results based on the accumulation of data and analyzing the trend of this resulting information.

Find :
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

b) Gravity reduces the initial upward velocity to zero in a time of

t = v/g = 40/10 = 4 s

a) h =  v₀t + ½gt² = 40(4) +  ½(-10)4² = 80 m

or

v² = u² + 2as

h = (0² - 40²) / 2(-10) = 80 m

Suppose the sphere is electrically neutral. Is it attracted to
Elden [556K]

Answer:

No, it is not attracted.

Explanation:

If any sphere is electrically neutral it is not attracted. The materials which are attracted by magnet are called magnetic material whereas which are not attracted are called non magnetic material. Sphere made up of non magnetic materials such as glass, wood, paper will not attracted weather is kept near north pole or near south pole.
