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

A hockey puck moving at 0.4600 m/s collides with another puck that was at rest. The pucks have equal mass. The first puck is def
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Speed =0.283m/ s

Direction = 47.86°

Explanation:

Since it is a two dimensional momentum question with pucks having the same mass, we derive the momentum in xy plane

MU1 =MU2cos38 + MV2cos y ...x plane

0 = MU2sin38 - MV2sin y .....y plane

Where M= mass of puck, U1 = initial velocity of puck 1=0.46, U2 = final velocity of puck 1 =0.34, V2 = final velocity of puck 2, y= angular direction of puck2

Substitute into equation above

.46 = .34cos38 + V2cos y ...equ1

.34sin38 = V2sin y...equ2

.19=V2cos Y...x

.21=V2sin Y ...y

From x

V2 =0.19/cost

Sub V2 into y

0.21 = 0.19(Sin y/cos y)

1.1052 = tan y

y = 47.86°

Sub Y in to x plane equ

.19 = V2 cos 47.86°

V2=0.283m/s

An empty rubber balloon has a mass of 0.0120 kg. The balloon is filled with helium at 0°C, 1 atm pressure, and a density of 0.17
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

a) F_b = 6.62 N

b) F_net = 5.583 N

Explanation:

Given:

- Conditions of He gas:  T = 0 C , P = 1 atm , ρ = 0.179 kg/m^3

- The mass of balloon m = 0.012 kg

- The radius of balloon r = 0.5 m

Find:

a)What is the magnitude of the buoyant force acting on the balloon?

b)What is the magnitude of the net force acting on the balloon?

Solution:

- The buoyant force F_b acting on the balloon is equal to the weight of the air it displaces.The mass of the displaced air ρ*V is the volume of the balloon times the density of the. Multiplying that by acceleration due to gravity gives its weight.

                                 F_b = ρ*V*g

                                 F_b = 4*ρ*g*pi*r^3 / 3

                                 F_b = 4*1.29*9.81*pi*.5^3 / 3

                                 F_b = 6.62 N

- The net force will be the difference between the balloon’s weight and the buoyant force. The weight of the balloon is the density of the helium times the volume of the balloon added to the mass of the empty balloon.

                                 F_g = ρ*V*g + m*g

                                 F_g = 4*ρ*g*pi*r^3 / 3 + 0.012*9.81

                                 F_g = 4*0.179*9.81*pi*.5^3 / 3 + 0.012*9.81

                                 F_g = 1.037 N

- The net force is the difference between weight and buoyant force

                                F_net = F_g - F_b

                                F_net = 6.62 - 1.037

                                F_net = 5.583 N
