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

Hey can anyone please help me with this it’s due in few hours and I’m stuck with ittt
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Check body of the explanation

Explanation:

Ooook, quick theory rushdown. if you're at a depth of h in a tank of a fluid, the pressure is the sum of the atmosferic pressure (if the tank is open on top) plus a term which is the product of acceleration of gravity - about 10 ms^-^2, the density of whatever you're sinking in, and the depth at which you are. In formula, p(h) = p_0 + \rho g h, and the pressure is the same for every point of the tank at the same depth.

At this point, we can start answering!

1a. The pressure at A is - not counting atmosferic pressure - 1000 * 10 * 1 = 10^4 Pa, while in B is 1000*10*2 = 2*10^4 Pa, so it's half of it.

1b. The two points are at the same depth, so the pressure is the same - they would be even if the two cilinders weren't linked!

1c. Ditto. Same depth? same pressure!

1d. Usual equation, this time density is 800. Pressure is 800*10*2 = 1,6*10^4 Pa: Since the density is 4/5 of water, the pressure is also 4/5 of the one exerted by water

2a. The volume is simply the product, so 4m*3m*2m = 24m^3

2b. Density is defined as mass over volume, so you simply multiply the volume you found earlier by the density of paraffine: 800* 24 = 1,92 *10^4kg

2c. Weight is defined as the mass of something times the acceleration due to gravity, in our case it's 1.92 *10^4 kg * 10 ms^{-2} = 1.92 * 10^5 N

2d. \rho gh again, what a surprise! 800 {kg \over m^3} * 10 {N \over kg}} * 2 m = 1,6* 10^4 {N\over m^2} =1.6*10^4 Pa

3. Yet again, \rho gh. 1000 {kg \over m^3} * 10 {N \over kg}} * 2 m = 2* 10^4 {N\over m^2} =2*10^4 Pa
