One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other wor

ds, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 24 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 3.8 and 8.4 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is the one moving initially and the case (b) when the small-mass object is the one moving initially.

Answer:

Part a)

v = 16.52 m/s

Part b)

v = 7.47 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

(a) when the large-mass object is the one moving initially

So here we can use momentum conservation as the net force on the system of two masses will be zero

so here we can say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = (m_1 + m_2)v

since this is a perfect inelastic collision so after collision both balls will move together with same speed

so here we can say

v = \frac{(m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i})}{(m_1 + m_2)}

v = \frac{(8.4\times 24 + 3.8\times 0)}{3.8 + 8.4}

v = 16.52 m/s

Part b)

(b) when the small-mass object is the one moving initially

here also we can use momentum conservation as the net force on the system of two masses will be zero

so here we can say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = (m_1 + m_2)v

Again this is a perfect inelastic collision so after collision both balls will move together with same speed

so here we can say

v = \frac{(m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i})}{(m_1 + m_2)}

v = \frac{(8.4\times 0 + 3.8\times 24)}{3.8 + 8.4}

v = 7.47 m/s

Answer:

B. Time and Space

Explanation:

Matter is a pshyical or corporeal susbtance in general, whether solid, liquid, or gaseous especially as distinguised from incorpeal substance, as spirit or mind, or form qualities, actions, and the

Within this time-and-space boundary, all matter exists. All matter is made up of atoms. Because these atoms take up space in the universe, solids, liquids, and gases are recognized as existing and may be found in all three dimensions.

Time is a figurative term. Space has three dimensions but time only has one.

A student, starting from rest, slides down a water slide. On the way down, a kinetic frictional force (a nonconservative force)
salantis [7]

Answer:

<em>The velocity with which the student goes down the bottom of glide is 12.48m/s.</em>

Explanation:

The Non conservative force is defined as a force which do not store energy or get he energy dissipate the energy from the system as the system progress with the motion.

Given are

   <em>  mass of the student 73 kg</em>

<em>      height of water glide 11.8 m</em>

<em>      work done as -5.5*10³ J</em>

Have to find speed at which the student goes down the glide.

According to<em> Law of Conservation of energy</em>,

          K.E =P.E+Work Done

 mv²/2=mgh +W

Rearranging the above eqn for v

v = √2(gh+W/m)

Substituting values,

V =  12.48 m/s.

<em>The velocity with which the student goes down the bottom of glide is 12.48m/s.</em>

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

8451.62109367671 Newtons

Explanation:

1\ kg=1\times 9.8066500286389=9.8066500286389\ N

1 \lb=2.2046226218488\ kg

It is known that

1\ lbs=\dfrac{9.8066500286389}{2.2046226218488}=4.4482216282508\ N

So,

1900\ lbs=1900\times 4.4482216282508\\\Rightarrow 1900\ lbs=8451.6210936765\ N

The force in Newtons is 8451.6210936765 Newtons
