Part A

Free fall motion
h = 3.1 m

Equation: Vf = √(2gh) = √(2*9.8 m/s^2 * 3.1 m) = 7.8 m/s

That is the only part in the question.

A 5 kg ball rolling at 1.0 m/s hits a 15 kg ball at rest. The balls stick together after the collision What is the
Reika [66]

Answer:

0.25m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters

m₁  = 5kg

v₁ = 1.0m/s

m₂ = 15kg

v₂ = 0m/s

Unknown:

velocity after collision = ?

Solution:

Momentum before collision and after collision will be the same. For inelastic collision;

    m₁v₁ + m₂v₂  = v(m₁ + m₂)

Insert parameters and solve for v;

   5 x 1  + 15 x 0 = v (5 + 15 )

          5  = 20v

          v = \frac{5}{20}   = 0.25m/s

We know for newton's 2nd law of motion that the force on an object is equal to the mass of the object times the acceleration of
Dmitrij [34]

         Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

           5 N  =  (9 kg) x (acceleration)

Divide each side
by  9 kg :              5 N / 9 kg  =  acceleration

                           Acceleration = (5/9)  kg-meter/sec²-kg

                                             =  0.555...  m/s²   .

Which of the following are true statements? A. Like charges repel B. Unlike charges repel C. Unlike charges attract or D. Charge
Brums [2.3K]

Answer: The correct answers are (A) and (C).

Explanation:

The expression from electrostatic force is as follows;

F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{1}}{r^{2} }

Here, F is the electrostatic force, k is constant, r is the distance between the charges and q_{1},q_{1} are the charges.

The electrostatic force follows inverse square law. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges. It is directly proportional to the product of the charges.

Like charges repel each other. There is a force of electrostatic repulsion between the like charges. Unlike charges attract each other. There is a force of electrostatic attraction between unlike charges.

The charges are induced on the neutral object when it is placed nearby the charged object without actually touching it.

Therefore, the true statements from the given options are as follows;

Like charges repel.

Unlike charges attract.

A fluid, with a density of rho = 1165 kg/m3, flows in a horizontal pipe. In one segment of the pipe the flow speed is v1 = 4.53
Elza [17]

Answer:

The pressure difference between two pipe is 1.01 \times 10^{4} Pa

Explanation:

Density \rho = 1165 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

Speed in one pipe v_{1} = 4.53 \frac{m}{s}

Speed in second pipe v_{2} = 1.77 \frac{m}{s}

According to the bernoulli equation,

The pressure difference is given by,

     P = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2}

P_{2} - P_{1} = \frac{1}{2}  \rho (v_{1}^{2}  - v_{2}^{2}  )

P_{2} - P_{1} = \frac{1}{2} \times 1165 \times[ (4.53)^{2}- (1.77)^{2}]

P_{2} - P_{1} = 10128.51

P_{2} - P_{1} = 1.01 \times 10^{4} Pa

Therefore, the pressure difference between two pipe is 1.01 \times 10^{4} Pa
