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 wheel initially has an angular velocity of 18 rad/s, but it is slowing at a constant rate of 2 rad/s 2 . By the time it stops,
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

5) 13 revolutions (approximately)

Explanation:

We apply the equations of circular motion uniformly accelerated :

ωf²= ω₀² + 2α*θ Formula (1)

Where:

θ : angle that the body has rotated in a given time interval (rad)

α : angular acceleration (rad/s²)

ω₀ : initial angular speed ( rad/s)

ωf : final angular speed  ( rad/s)

Data:

ω₀ = 18 rad/s

ωf = 0

α = -2 rad/s²  ; (-) indicates that the wheel is slowing

Revolutions calculation that turns the wheel until it stops

We apply the formula (1)

ωf²= ω₀² + 2α*θ

0 = (18)² + 2( -2)*θ

4*θ =  (18)²

θ =  (18)²/4 = 81 rad

1 revolution = 2π rad

θ = 81 rad * 1 revolution / 2πrad

θ =  13 revolutions approximately

How far does light travel in the time it takes sound to travel 1 cm in air at 20°c?
kykrilka [37]
The speed of sound at 20^{\circ}C is approximately v=343 m/s. The distance covered by the sound wave is
s=1 cm=0.01 m
And the time it takes is
t= \frac{S}{v}= \frac{0.01 m}{343 m/s}=2.9 \cdot 10^{-5} s

Now we want to find how far the light travels during this time. Light travels at speed c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s, therefore the distance it covers during this time is
S=ct = (3 \cdot 10^8 m/s)(2.9 \cdot 10^{-5} s)=8700 m

Define an expression for linear expansion of solid​
Vesnalui [34]

\huge \tt \underline \red{answer}

When something is heated or cooled, its length changes by an amount proportional to the original length and the change in temperature: linear expansion : ΔL=αL0ΔT (α is the coefficient of linear expansion) The coefficient of linear expansion depends only on the material an object is made from.

Thanku have a great day ✨❤️
