Explanation:

Let the mass of two objects be m. Both objects move along the same line in opposite directions. Let v and u₂ are speeds of both objects before collision.

After the collision, both objects stick together and move with the speed of 0.1 V the direction of the velocity of the first mass before the collision.

Using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

V=\dfrac{m(u_1+u_2)}{(m_1+m_2)}

0.1v=\dfrac{m(v+u_2)}{(2m)}

On solving above equation, u_2=-0.8v

So, the speed of the second mass before the collision is 0.8 v. The negative sign shows that the it moves in opposite direction. Hence, this is the required solution.

A point charge q1 is held stationary at the origin. A second charge q2 is placed at point a, and the electric potential energy o
likoan [24]

Answer:

U_{b}=+7.3*10^{-8}J

Explanation:

Given data

Electric potential at point a is Ua=5.4×10⁻⁸J

q₂ moves to point b where a negative work done on it  W_{a-b}=-1.9*10^{-8}J

Required

Electric potential energy Ub

Solution

When a particle moves from a point where the potential is Ua to a point where it is Ub the change in potential energy is equal to work done where the force exerted on the charge is conservative and work done is given by:

W_{a-b}=U_{a}-U_{b}\\U_{b}=U_{a}-W_{a-b}

Now  substitute the given values

So

U_{b}=5.4*10^{-8}J-(-1.9*10^{-8}J)\\U_{b}=+7.3*10^{-8}J

The y component of the electric field of an electromagnetic wave traveling in the +x direction through vacuum obeys the equation
Alexxx [7]

Answer: 8.6 µm

Explanation:

At a long distance from the source, the components (the electric and magnetic fields) of the electromagnetic waves, behave like plane waves, so the equation for the y component of the electric field obeys an equation like this one:

Ey =Emax cos (kx-ωt)

So, we can write the following equality:

ω= 2.2 1014 rad/sec

The angular frequency and the linear frequency are related as follows:

f = ω/ 2π= 2.2 1014 / 2π (rad/sec) / rad = 0.35 1014 1/sec

In an electromagnetic wave propagating through vacuum, the speed of the wave is just the speed of light, c.

The wavelength, speed and frequency, are related by this equation:

λ = c/f

λ = 3.108 m/s / 0.35. 1014 1/s = 8.6 µm.
