First we can say that since there is no external force on this system so momentum is always conserved.

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

0.6*0.8 + 1.2*0 = 0.6*v_{1f} + 1.2*v_{2f}

0.48= 0.6*v_{1f} + 1.2*v_{2f}

0.8  = v_{1f} + 2v_{2f}

now by the condition of elastic collision

v_{2f} - v_{1f} = 0.8 - 0[\tex]now add two equations[tex]3*v_{2f} = 1.6

v_{2f} = 0.533 m/s

also from above equation we have

v_{1f} = -0.267 m/s

So ball of mass 0.6 kg will rebound back with speed 0.267 m/s and ball of mass 1.2 kg will go forwards with speed 0.533 m/s.

Answer:

Explanation:

charge, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

distance, r = 911 nm = 911 x 10^-9 m

The Coulomb's force is given by

F=\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}

F=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{\left (911\times 10^{-9}  \right )^2}

F = 2.78 x 10^-16 N

The force between the electron and the proton is 2.78 x 10^-16 N.

How much electrical energy is used by a 75 W laptop that is operating for 12<br>minutes?​
Liono4ka [1.6K]

"1 watt" means 1 joule of energy per second.

75 W means 75 joules/sec .

Energy = (75 Joule/sec) x (12 min) x (60 sec/min)

Energy = (75 x 12 x 60) (Joule-<em>min-sec</em> / <em>sec-min</em>)

<em>Energy = 54,000 Joules</em>
