Two particles are moving along the x axis. Particle 1 has a mass m₁ and a velocity v₁ = +4.7 m/s. Particle 2 has a mass m₂ and a

velocity v₂ = −6.2 m/s. The velocity of the center of mass of these two particles is zero. In other words, the center of mass of the particles remains stationary, even though each particle is moving. Find the ratio m₁/m₂ of the masses of the particles.

Answer:

m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

Explanation:

We can work this problem with the moment, the system is formed by the two particles

The moment is conserved, to simulate the system the particles initially move with a moment and suppose a shock where the particular that, without speed, this determines that if you center, you should be stationary, which creates a moment equal to zero

    p₀o = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

    pf = 0

    m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ = 0

    m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁

    m₁ / m₂=  - (-6.2) / 4.7

     m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

Another way to solve this exercise is to use the mass center relationship

    Xcm = 1/M    (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂)

We derive from time

   Vcm = 1/M   (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)

As they say the velocity of the center of zero masses

    0 = 1/M   (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)

   m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂ = 0

    m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁

   m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

An electron is travelling in a straight line with a kinetic energy K = 1.60 x 10^-17J. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the di
faust18 [17]

Answer:

(a) 1000 N/C

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of electron, K = 1.6 x 10^-17 J

distance, d = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Let the potential difference is V and the electric field is E.

(a) The relation between the kinetic energy and the potential difference is

K = e V

V = K / e

Where, e be the electronic charge = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

V = \frac{1.6\times 10^{-17}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

V = 100 V

The relation between the electric field and the potential difference is given by

V = E x d

100 = E x 0.1

E = 1000 N/C

(b) The force acting on the electron, F = q E

where q be the charge on electron

So, F = -e x E

It means the direction of electric field and the force are both opposite to each other.

The direction of electric field and the force on electron is shown in the diagram.

What is the correct definition of a fracture?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The correct definition of a fracture is break in the bone

<u>Explanation:</u>

When nay injury results in the breaking or causing any cracking in the bones of any parts then this will lead to fracture. When the injury caused is near the ligament or tissue in which the bone is connected or attached then it will lead to an avulsion fractures. Thus this will lead to the pulling of bone form the original position thereby leading more pain in the spot associated with the fracture.

Sports people are the victims of this type of fracture. Fracture may occur anywhere mostly legs,hands,ankle,hip and elbow. sometimes it may be in finger, shoulder,knee,etc. The main symptoms that are associated with fracture includes, selling, inability in moving the fractured part or pain associated when trying to move that part, Loss of the affected part's function,etc.
