Before colliding, the momentum of block A is -100 kgm/, and block B is -150 kgm/s. After, block A has a momentum -200 kg*m/s.

What is the momentum of block B afterward? PLEASE HELP

Answer:

Momentum of block B after collision = $-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given

Before collision:

Momentum of block A = $p_{A1}$ = $-100\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

Momentum of block B = $p_{B1}$ = $-150\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

After collision:

Momentum of block A = $p_{A2}$ = $-200\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

Applying law of conservation of momentum to find momentum of block B after collision $p_{B2}$ .

$p_{A1}+p_{B1}=p_{A2}+p_{B2}$

Plugging in the given values and simplifying.

$-100-150=-200+p_{B2}$

$-250=-200+p_{B2}$

Adding 200 to both sides.

$200-250=-200+p_{B2}+200$

$-50=p_{B2}$

∴ $p_{B2}=-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

Momentum of block B after collision = $-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

What is a linear motion

nirvana33 [79]

Linear motion (also called rectilinear motion) is a motion along a straight line, and can therefore be described mathematically using only one spatial dimension.

7. Two bikes travelling in the same direction move at a speed of 30 km/hr. The bikes are separated by a distance of 5 km. What w

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Call the bike on the right A

Call the bike on the left B

The car begins it's time when it passes A

4 minutes later, it passes B.

But B has moved in 4 minutes and that is the key to the problem.

How far has B moved.

t = 4 minutes = 4/60 hours = 1/15 of an hour.

d = ?

rate = 30 km / hr

d = r * t

d = 30 km/hr * 1/15 hours = 2 km

The distance between the bikes is 5 km.

So the car has traveled 5 - 2 = 3 km

d = 3 km

r = ?

t = 4 minutes = 1/15 hour

r = d/t = 3/(1/15)= 3 / 0.066666666 = 45 km/hr.

Three long, straight wires are carrying currents that have the same magnitude. In C the current is opposite to that in A and B.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

(b) B

Explanation:

The direction of force on a current carrying wire in a magnetic field can be found using the right hand rule, which states that-"stretch the thumb in the direction of the current, and point the fingers in the direction of magnetic field. The direction of palm will then give the direction of force on the wire

On wire B the forces due to A and C act in the same direction and so strengthen each other. they get added up because the forces act in the same direction.

on wires A and C the forces (due to B and C and A and B

respectively) act in opposite directions and therefore tend to cancel out.

A piano string having a mass per unit length equal to 4.70 10-3 kg/m is under a tension of 1 400 N. Find the speed with which a

sweet [91]

Answer:

The speed of the sound wave on the string is 545.78 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass per unit length of the string, μ = 4.7 x 10⁻³ kg/m

tension of the string, T = 1400 N

The speed of the sound wave on the string is given by;

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }$

where;

v is the speed of the sound wave on the string

Substitute the given values and solve for speed,v,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{1400}{4.7*10^{-3}} }\\\\v = \sqrt{297872.34}\\\\v = 545.78 \ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the sound wave on the string is 545.78 m/s.

Niobium metal becomes a superconductor when cooled below 9 K. Its superconductivity is destroyed when the surface magnetic field

morpeh [17]

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Magnetic Field.

The magnetic field is defined as

$B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}$

Where,

$\mu_0 =$ Permeability constant in free space

r = Radius

I = Current

Our values are given as,

B = 0.1T

d = 4.5mm

r = 2.25mm

If the maximum current that the wire can carry is I, then

$B = \frac{\mu_0 2I}{4\pi r}$

$I = \frac{Br}{2\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}}$

$I = \frac{(0.1T)(2.25*10^{-3}m)}{2(1*10^{-7}N/A^2)}}$

$I = 1125A$

Therefore the maximum current is 1125A
