lides in an inelastic collision with a 10 kg block of wood at rest. The total momentum of the system after the collision is 4.8 kg · m/s. Round your answers to two significant digits. The velocity of the nail and block after the collision is calculated to be m/s. The expected velocity of the nail prior to the collision is m/s.

In an inelastic collision, only momentum is conserved, while energy is not conserved.

1) Velocity of the nail and the block after the collision
This can be found by using the total momentum after the collisions:
p_f=(m+M)v_f=4.8 kg m/s
where
m=0.1 kg is the mass of the nail
M=10 kg is the mass of the block of wood
Rearranging the formula, we find v_f, the velocity of the nail and the block after the collision:
v_f= \frac{p_f}{m+M}= \frac{4.8 kg m/s}{0.1 kg+10 kg}=  0.48 m/s

2) The velocity of the nail before the collision can be found by using the conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum before the collision is given only by the nail (since the block is at rest), and it must be equal to the total momentum after the collision:
p_i = mv_i = p_f
Rearranging the formula, we can find v_i, the velocity of the nail before the collision:
v_i =  \frac{p_f}{m}= \frac{4.8 kg m/s}{0.1 kg}=48 m/s

If 12V battery maintains a 4.5A current through a resistor what is the resistance of the resistor?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

2.7ohms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Voltage of the battery  = 12V

Current  = 4.5A

Unknown:

Resistance of the resistor  = ?

Solution:

From Ohm's law, we know that;

          V  = IR

V is the voltage

I is the current

R is the resistance

  So;

        R  = \frac{V}{I}   = \frac{12}{4.5}    = 2.7ohms

please explain!! 15. You want to calculate the displacement of an object thrown over a bridge. Using -10 m/s2 for acceleration d
qwelly [4]

I will be making the assumption that you aren't actually really throwing the object over a bridge but rather dropping it as no initial velocity is actually given, which is required to do this problem. This will mean that initial velocity will be zero in this case.

First off, let's state all of the information we are given (the five kinematic quantities)

v₁ = 0 m/s

v₂ = cannot be determined

Δd = ?

Δt = 8 seconds

a (g) = 10 m/s² [down]

Now analyzing what we have, we can determine that we have 3 given quantities, 1 we must solve for, and 1 that cannot be found given our current information.

The five kinematic equations are useful because they all contain four kinematic quantities, and with different combinations too. In this case, we have three (v₁, Δt, a) and have to solve for Δd. The kinematic equation that fits with this would be:

Δd = v₁Δt + 0.5(a)(t)²

We can plug in our given values now.

Δd = 0 m/s(8 s) + 0.5(10 m/s²)(8 s)²

Δd = 0.5(10 m/s²)(8 s)²

Δd = <u>3</u>20 m

Therefore, the total displacement of the object would have to be 300m. (Due to significant digit rules)
