What rapid changes to earths surface are caused by shifting plates

A .5 kg air puck moves to the right at 3 m/s, colliding with a 1.5kg air puck that is moving to the left at 1.5 m/s.

arlik [135]

Answer:

part (a) v = 1.7 m/s towards right direction

part (b) Not an elastic collision

part (c) F = -228.6 N towards left.

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the first puck = $m_1\ =\ 5\ kg$
Mass of the second puck = $m_2\ =\ 3\ kg$
initial velocity of the first puck = $u_1\ =\ 3\ m/s.$
Initial velocity of the second puck = $u_2\ =\ -1.5\ m/s.$

Part (a)

Pucks are stick together after the collision, therefore the final velocities of the pucks are same as v.

From the conservation of linear momentum,

$m_1u_1\ +\ m_2u_2\ =\ (m_1\ +\ m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \dfrac{m_1u_1\ +\ m_2u_2}{m_1\ +\ m_2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \dfrac{5\times 3\ -\ 1.5\times 1.5}{5\ +\ 1.5}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 1.7\ m/s.$

Direction of the velocity is towards right due to positive velocity.

part (b)

Given,

Final velocity of the second puck = $v_2\ =\ 2.31\ m/s.$

Let $v_1$ be the final velocity of first puck after the collision.

From the conservation of linear momentum,

$m_1u_1\ +\ m_2u_2\ +\ m_1v_1\ +\ m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v_1\ =\ \dfrac{m_1u_1\ +\ m_2u_2\ -\ m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1\ =\ \dfrac{5\times 3\ -\ 1.5\times 1.5\ -\ 1.5\times 2.31}{5}\\\Rightarrow v_1\ =\ 1.857\ m/s.$

For elastic collision, the coefficient of restitution should be 1.

From the equation of the restitution,

$v_1\ -\ v_2\ =\ e(u_2\ -\ u_1)\\\Rightarrow e\ =\ \dfrac{v_1\ -\ v_2}{u_2\ -\ u_1}\\\Rightarrow e\ =\ \dfrac{1.857\ -\ 2.31}{-1.5\ -\ 3}\\\Rightarrow e\ =\ 0.1\\$

Therefore the collision is not elastic collision.

part (c)

Given,

Time of impact = t = $25\times 10^{-3}\ sec$

we know that the impulse on an object due to a force is equal to the change in momentum of the object due to the collision,

$\therefore I\ =\ \ m_1v_1\ -\ m_1u_1\\\Rightarrow F\times t\ =\ m_1(v_1\ -\ u_1)\\\Rightarrow F\ =\ \dfrac{m_1(v_1\ -\ u_1)}{t}\\\Rightarrow F\ =\ \dfrac{5\times (1.857\ -\ 3)}{25\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow F\ =\ -228.6\ N$

Negative sign indicates that the force is towards in the left side of the movement of the first puck.

1. Which of the following transformations is an example of a β−-decay?

KatRina [158]

Answer:

1. C: 31/14 Si becomes 31/15 because a nuetron

2. A: 238 92U because the very long half-life means a very small rate of decay

3. D: Charge conservation is not satisfied

4. B: of the four nuclear decay processes only the α-decay changes the baryon number and does so in increments of four

What happens to light waves at the interface between different media?

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Refractive motion is the impact of a light wave that travels from medium to medium in an angle away from normal, where the direction of light varies. Light is refracted when it crosses the air-to-glass interface and moves slower.

Which fact was most likely discovered between the time of Mendeleev’s table and the time of Moseley’s table that helped Moseley

igomit [66]

Answer:

The number of protons in an atom is different than the atom's total mass.

Explanation:

Mendeleev had presented the first structured periodic table in 1869. But, in 1913, Henry Moseley developed the modern periodic table. The crucial difference between the two periodic tables is that Mendeleev's periodic table is generated on the basis of the atomic masses of chemical elements while the chemical element's atomic numbers were the main focus of Moseley's periodic table. There were just 56 chemical elements in Mendeleev's periodic table. On the other hand, 74 chemical elements are presented in Moseley's periodic table.
