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

This composition from Ni and Cu is called cupronickel.It is high in copper and silver in colour and highly resistant to corrosion, particularly seawater. Cooper nickel is used in the industry, in marine engineering . Melting point is 2254,73 F, which is 1234.85 Celsius. In this range of tempereature the cupronickel melts.

Suppose an object is moving 2.1 m/s north on a river, but the river is flowing to the east at a velocity of 1.2 m/s. What is the
rewona [7]

Answer:

2.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity of the object moving north = 2.1 m/s

Velocity of the river moving eastward = 1.2 m/s

The resultant velocity is the vector sum of the velocities of object and river.

Since the directions of velocity of object and river are perpendicular to each other, the magnitude of the resultant velocity is obtained using Pythagoras Theorem.

The velocities are the legs of the right angled triangle and the resultant velocity is the hypotenuse.

The magnitude of the resultant velocity (R) is given as:

R^2=2.1^2+1.2^2\\\\R^2=4.41+1.44\\\\R=\sqrt{5.85}\\\\R=2.4\ m/s

Therefore, the resultant velocity has a magnitude of 2.4 m/s.

katrin [286]

We can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant volume and number of moles of the gas the ratio of T and P is equal to some constant. At another set of condition, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1/P1 = T2/P2

P2 = T2 x P1 / T1

P2 = 273 x 340 / 713

<span>P2 = 130 kPa</span>

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Increasing until terminal velocity is reached

Explanation:

Provided the scream is a constant pitch at the source, Doppler effect will make the pitch increase as the velocity of the source towards the listener increases.
