Answer:

v₁f = -6.2 cm/s

Explanation:

  • Assuming no external forces acting during the collision, total momentum must be conserved, as follows:

        m_{1} *v_{1o} = m_{1}* v_{1f} + m_{2}* v_{2f}

  • As the collision is elastic, total kinetic energy must be conserved also:

       \frac{1}{2}*m_{1}*v_{1o}^{2} = \frac{1}{2}*m_{1}*v_{1f} ^{2} + \frac{1}2}*m_{2}*v_{2f}^{2}

  • From the givens, we know that m₂ = 2* m₁
  • Replacing in the above equations, rearranging both sides and simplifying, we can find the following expression for v₁f:

       v_{1f} = \frac{-m_{1} }{3*m_{1}} *v_{1o} =\frac{-v_{1o}}{3} = -\frac{18.6 cm/s}{3} = -6.2 cm/s

  • v₁f = -6.2 cm/s (which means that it bounces back after the collision).

What is the proper function of a linkage? *
Kryger [21]

Answer:

a) transferring energy

Explanation:

A linkage is an assembly of parts connected together to control forces and movement. The connections between links are called joints and are used for ensuring movement, pure rotation or sliding.

Linkages provides a means in which kinetic energy is being transferred in different directions within a system. This Linkages can be used to Change force  direction, size of force applied or the motion created by the force.

On planet X, the absolute pressure at a depth of 2.00 m below the surface of a liquid nitrogen lake is 5.00 × 105 N/m2 . At a de
eimsori [14]

Answer:

300000.01008 Pa

123.76237 m/s²

Explanation:

\rho = Density of liquid nitrogen = 808 kg/m³

h = Depth

g = Acceleration due to gravity

P = Atmospheric pressure

Absolute Pressure is given by

Below 2 m from surface

P_a=P+\rho gh\\\Rightarrow 5\times 10^5=P+808g\times 2

Below 5 m from surface

P_a=P+\rho gh\\\Rightarrow 8\times 10^5=P+808g\times 5

Subtracting the above equations we get

-3\times 10^5=-808g3\\\Rightarrow g=\frac{3\times 10^5}{808\times 3}\\\Rightarrow g=123.76237\ m/s^2

The acceleration due to gravity on the planet is 123.76237 m/s²

Equating the value of g in the first equation

5\times 10^5=P+808\times 123.76237\times 2\\\Rightarrow P=5\times 10^5-808\times 123.76237\times 2\\\Rightarrow P=300000.01008\ Pa

The atmospheric pressure on the planet is 300000.01008 Pa

Radium-226 emits alpha (α), beta (β) and gamma (γ) radiation.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

alpha

Alpha Radiation (α): A large, unstable nucleus decays to produce a smaller, more stable nucleus and an alpha particle (identical to a helium nucleus, ⁴₂He or ⁴₂α).

It has a very high ionizing energy and low penetrating power. It can be stopped by paper skin

Beta Radiation (β): A neutron in an unstable nucleus decays, forming a proton and emitting a beta (β) particle (identical to an electron, ⁰₋₁e or ⁰₋₁b) and resulting in a more stable nucleus.

It has high ionizing energy and penetrating power. It can be stopped by aluminium sheet

Gamma Radiation (γ): An unstable nucleus releases energy in the form of a high energy photon (no mass)to become more stable; this often accompanies other forms of radioactivity.

It has very high penetrating power and very low ionizing energy. It can be stopped by lead block.
