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 gas has an initial volume of 2.5 L at a temperature of 275 K and a pressure of 2.1 atm. The pressure of the gas increases to 2
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

2.10L

Explanation:

Given data

V1= 2.5L

T1= 275K

P1= 2.1atm

P2= 2.7 atm

T2= 298K

V2= ???

Let us apply the gas equation

P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2

substitute into the expression we have

2.1*2.5/275= 2.7*V2/298

5.25/275= 2.7*V2/298

Cross multiply

275*2.7V2= 298*5.25

742.5V2= 1564.5

V2= 1564.5/742.5

V2= 2.10L

Hence the final volume is 2.10L

Convert 0.700 atm of pressure to its equivalent in millimeters of mercury.
inna [77]

Answer:

532 millimeters of mercury

Explanation:

In order to convert the pressure from atm to millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), we should remind the conversion factor between the two units:

1 atm = 760 mm Hg

Therefore, we can solve the problem by setting up the following proportion:

1 atm : 760 mmHg = 0.700 atm : x

Solving for x, we find

x=\frac{(760 mmHg)(0.700 atm)}{1 atm}=532 mmHg
