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

Help me answer these, please. I GIVE CROWNS!! PLEASE!!
bija089 [108]

Answer: 1- A diagram showing the forces acting on the object.

2- The force vector describes a specific amount of force and its direction. You need both value and direction to have a vector.

3- A vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. You can tell if a quantity is a vector by whether or not it has a direction associated with it.

4- I don’t know

5- When two forces acting on an object are equal in size but act in opposite directions, we say that they are balanced forces

6- By applying an unbalanced force, you can change the motion of an object. Unbalanced forces can make an object at rest start moving, make a moving object stop, or change the direction and speed of the object.

7- If the forces on an object are unbalanced, this is what happens: a stationary object starts to move in the direction of the resultant force.

8- Imbalance or unequal force

9- The result is no motion. Balanced forces can cancel each other out. Any time there is a balanced force, the object does not move.

10- net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object.

Metamorphic rock occurs when you take any other type of rock and put them under ________ and ______________, and they twist and
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

This question appear incomplete

Explanation:

This question appear incomplete because of the absence of options. However, metamorphic rocks are rocks that are formed from other pre-existing rocks under heat and pressure (both are usually high), causing them to twist and melt together. Metamorphism simply means a change in form of something and that's what happens here also.

An animal-rescue plane flying due east at 49 m/s drops a bale of hay from an altitude of 66 m . The acceleration due to gravity
Gnoma [55]

Explanation:

The final velocity of the bale have vertical and horizontal components. So, we have:

v^2=v_x^2+v_y^2(1)

According to conservation of energy:

\frac{mv_y^2}{2}=mgh\\v_y=\sqrt{2gh}

Since the plane is flying due east, we have v_x=49\frac{m}{s}. Replacing in (1):

v=\sqrt{(\sqrt{2gh})^2+v_x^2}\\v=\sqrt{2(9,81\frac{m}{s^2})(66m)+(49\frac{m}{s})^2}\\v=60.78\frac{m}{s}

Now, we calculate the momentum of the bale:

p=mv\\p=\frac{160N}{9.81\frac{m}{s^2}}(60.78\frac{m}{s})\\p=991.32\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}

From pythagoras theorem we know that:

tan\theta=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}\\tan\theta=\frac{v_x}{v_y}\\\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_x}{v_y})\\\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{60,78\frac{m}{s}}{49\frac{m}{s}})\\\theta=51.12^\circ
