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 momentum of a 3 kg bowling ball moving at 3 m/s?
nadezda [96]

Answer: 9kgm/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ball = 3 kg

Speed by which ball moves = 3 m/s. Linear momentum of the ball = ?

Since momentum refers to the quantity of motion of the moving ball,

Linear momentum = Mass x Speed

= 3kg x 3m/s

= 9 kgm/s

Thus, the linear momentum of the ball is 9kgm/s

Why doesn't the force of gravity change the speed of a bowling ball as it rolls along a bowling lane?
Oliga [24]
Because the gravitational force, which points downward, is perfectly balanced by the normal reaction of the floor of the bowling lane, which points upward. The two forces are equal in magnitude, so the net force acting vertically on the bowling ball is zero, therefore there is no acceleration along this direction. Moreover, since the ball is moving in the horizontal direction, the gravitational force has no component along this direction, so it does not change the velocity of the ball.

A runner generates 1260 W of thermal energy. If this heat has to be removed only by evaporation, how much water does this runner
sergey [27]

Answer:0.502kg

Explanation:

F4om the relation

Power x time = mass x latent heat of vapourization

P.t=ML

1260 * 15 *60 = M * 22.6 * 10^5

M= 1134000/(22.6 *10^5)

M=0.502kg=502g
