A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axi

s. Just before the collision, one ball of mass 3.0 kg is moving upward at 20 m/s, and the other ball, of mass 2.0 kg, is moving downward at 14 m/s. How high do the combined two balls of putty rise above the collision point? (Neglect air drag.)

Answer:

h = 2.087 m

Explanation:

Given

m₁ = 3 kg

v₁ = 20 m/s

m₂ = 2 kg

v₂ = - 14 m/s

In a completely inelastic collision the colliding objects stick together after the collision and move together as a single object.

In the given problem, lets assume that the balls of putty are initially moving along the  y  axis, upward direction being the positive  y  direction. And the collision occurs at the origin of the coordinate system.

We can apply the equation

vs = (m₁*v₁ + m₂*v₂) / (m₁ + m₂)  

⇒   vs = (3 kg*20 m/s + 2 kg*(- 14 m/s)) / (3 kg + 2 kg)  

⇒   vs = 6.4 m/s (↑)

To calculate the maximum height  h  attained by the combined system of two balls of putty after the the collision, we use the expression for linear motion under gravity:

vf² = vi² - 2*g*h

where

vf = 0 m/s  

g = 9.81 m/s²

vi = vs = 6.4 m/s

finally we get h:

h = vi² / (2*g)

⇒   h = (6.4 m/s)² / (2*9.81 m/s²) = 2.087 m

a cylinder of mass 34.5 kg rolls without slipping on a horizontal surface. At a certain instant, its center of mass has a speed
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

778 J

Explanation:

Rotational energy is:

RE = ½ Iω²

For a solid cylinder I = ½ mr².

Rolling without slipping means ω = v/r.

RE = ½ (½ mr²) (v/r)²

RE = ¼ mv²

Plug in values:

RE = ¼ (34.5 kg) (9.5 m/s)²

RE ≈ 778 J

Round as needed.

A ball was dropped from a height of 10 feet. Each time it hits the ground, it bounces 4/5 of its previous height. Find the total
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

d = 90 ft

Explanation:

As we know that after each bounce it reaches to 4/5 times of initial height

so we can say

h_2 = \frac{4}{5}h

so the distance covered is given as

d = h + 2(\frac{4}{5}h) + 2(\frac{4}{5})^2h + 2(\frac{4}{5})^3h........

here we know that

h = 10 feet

d = h + 2(\frac{4}{5}h)(1 + \frac{4}{5} + (\frac{4}{5})^2 + ...........)

d = 10 + 2(\frac{4}{5}(10))(\frac{1}{1 - \frac{4}{5}})

d = 90 ft

A sphere is originally at a temperature of 500°c. The sphere is melted and recast, without loss of mass, into a cube with the sa
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer: The value of the celsius temperature of the cube is 472.2°c.

Explanation:        

The expression for the power radiated is as follows;

P=A\epsilon\sigma T^{4}

Here, A is the area, \sigma is the stefan's constant,\epsilon is the emissivity and T is the temperature.

It is given in the problem that A sphere is originally at a temperature of 500°c. The sphere is melted and recast, without loss of mass, into a cube with the same emissivity as the sphere.

Then the expression for the radiated power for the cube and the sphere can be expressed as;

A_{1}\epsilon \e\sigma T_{1}^{4}=A_{2}\epsilon \e\sigma T_{2}^{4}

Here, A_{1} is the area of the sphere, A_{2} is the area of the cube,T_{1}  is the temperature of the sphere and T_{2}  is the temperature of the cube.

The radiated powers and emissivity of the cube and the sphere are same.

A_{1}T_{1}^{4}=A_{2}T_{2}^{4}

The area of the sphere is A_{1}=4\pi \times r^{2}.

Here, r is the radius of the sphere.

The area of the cube is A_{2}=6\times a^{2}.

Here, a is the edge of the cube.

Put A_{1}=4\pi \times r^{2} and A_{2}=6\times a^{2}.

T_{2}=T_{1}(\frac{2\pi }{3}\times (\frac{r}{a})^{2})^{\frac{1}{4}}  ....(1)

The masses and the densities of the sphere and the cube are same. Then the volumes are also same.

V_{1}=V_{2}

Here,V_{1},V_{1} are the volumes of the sphere and the cube.

\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}=a^{3}

\frac{r}{a}=(\frac{3}{4\pi })^{\frac{1}{3}}  

Put this value in the equation (1).

T_{2}=T_{1}(\frac{2\pi }{3}\times (\frac{r}{a})^{2})^{\frac{1}{4}}T_{2}=T_{1}(\frac{2\pi }{3}\times ((\frac{3}{4\pi })^{\frac{1}{3}})^{2})^{\frac{1}{4}}

Put T_{1}=500°c.

T_{2}=(500)(\frac{2\pi }{3}\times (\frac{3}{4\pi })^{\frac{2}{3}})^{\frac{1}{4}}

T_{2}=472.2^{\circ}c

Therefore, the value of the celsius temperature of the cube is 472.7°c.
