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

A projectile is launched at an angle of 29 degrees above the horizontal with an initial velocity of 36.6 at an unknown height.
alex41 [277]

The magnitude of the unknown height of the projectile is determined as 16.1 m.

<h3>Magnitude of the height</h3>

The magnitude of the height of the projectile is calculated as follows;

H = u²sin²θ/2g

H = (36.6² x (sin 29)²)/(2 x 9.8)

H = 16.1 m

Thus, the magnitude of the unknown height of the projectile is determined as 16.1 m.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A lateral eruptions or lateral blast is a volcanic eruption which is directed laterally from a volcano rather than upwards from the summit. Lateral eruptions are caused by the outward expansion of flanks due to rising magma. Breaking occurs at the flanks of volcanoes making it easier for magma to flow outward.

The rate constants for the reactions of atomic chlorine and of hydroxyl radical with ozone are given by 3 × 10-11 e-250/T and 2
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Calculate the ratio of the rates of ozone destruction by these catalysts at 20 km, given that at this altitude the average concentration of OH is about 100 times that of Cl and that the temperature is about -50 °C

Knowing

Rate constants for the reactions of atomic chlorine and of hydroxyl radical with ozone are given by 3x10^{-11} e^{-255/T}  and 2x10^{-12} e^{-940/T}  

T = -50 °C = 223 K

The reaction rate will be given by [Cl] [O3] 3x10^{-11} e^{-255/223} = 9.78^{-12} [Cl] [O3]  

Than, the reaction rate of OH with O3 is

Rate = [OH] [O3] 2x10^{-12} e^{-940/223} = 2.95^{-14} [OH] [O3]

Considering these 2 rates we can realize the ratio of the reaction with Cl to the reaction with OH is 330 * [Cl] / [OH]

Than, the concentration of OH is approximately 100 times of Cl, and the result will be that the reaction with Cl is 3.3 times faster than the  reaction with OH

Calculate the rate constant for ozone destruction by chlorine under conditions in the Antarctic ozone hole, when the temperature is about -80 °C and the concentration of atomic chlorine increases by a factor of one hundred to about 4 × 105 molecules cm-3

Knowing

Rate constants for the reactions of atomic chlorine and of hydroxyl radical with ozone are given by 3x10^{-11} e^{-255/T}  and 2x10^{-12} e^{-940/T}  

T = -80 °C = 193 K

The reaction rate will be given by [Cl] [O3] 3x10^{-11} e^{-255/193} = 8.21^{-12} [Cl] [O3]  

Than, the reaction rate of OH with O3 is

Rate = [OH] [O3] 2x10^{-12} e^{-940/193} = 1.53^{-14} [OH] [O3]

Considering these 2 rates we can realize the ratio of the reaction with Cl to the reaction with OH is 535 * [Cl] / [OH]

Than, considering the concentration of Cl increases by a factor of 100 to about 4 × 10^{5} molecules cm^{-3}, the result will be that the reaction with OH will be 535 + (100 to about 4 × 10^{5} molecules cm^{-3}) times faster than the  reaction with Cl
