Two particles with masses m and 3m are moving toward each other along the x axis with the same initial speeds Vi. Particle m is

traveling to the left, and the particle 3m is traveling to the right. They undergo an elastic glancing collision such that particles m is moving in the negative y direction after the collision at a right angle from its initial direction.
(a) Find the final speeds of the two particles in terms of Vi.

(b) What is the angle theta at which the particle 3m is scattered?

Answer:

v1 = \sqrt{(2)}Vi

v2 = \sqrt{(2/3)}Vi

ANGLE is 35.3 degree celcius

Explanation:

Given data:

mass m and 3m

initial speed Vi

particle with mass m is moving toward left while particle with mass 3m is moving toward right

By using conservation of momentum :

mVi + 3m(-Vi) = mv1 +3mv2

-2mVi = m(v1 + 3v2)

-2Vi = v1 + 3v2

conservation of energy :

m(Vi^2) + 3m(-Vi^2) = mv1^2 + 3mv2^2

4mVi^2 = m(v1^2+3v2^2)

4Vi^2 = v1^2+3v2^2

After collision, particle with mass m moves at right angles, thus by considering conservation of momentum in x & y direction,

x direction : -2mVi = 3m.v2i

-2Vi = 3v2i

y direction : 0 = m(v1)j+3m(v2)j

-v1j = 3v2j

subsitute these value in energy conservation

v1 = \sqrt{(2)}Vi

v2 = \sqrt{(2/3)}Vi

angle = tan^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{(2)}}{2}) =35.3 degree from x-axis

Why the efficiency of heat engine is always less than 100%​
valina [46]

Answer:

because some waste heat is always produced produced in a heat engine.

Explanation:

the fraction of heat input that is converted to a net work output is a measure of the performance of the heat engine and is called the thermal efficiency.Since the machine does not contain a source of energy ,nor can it store energy ,from this conversation of energy the power output of machine can never be greater than its input,so efficiency can be less than 100%.

A 0.14-MIN baseball is dropped from rest. It has a momentum of 0.90 kg⋅m/skg⋅m/s just before it lands on the ground.
nikitadnepr [17]

The time spent in the air by the ball at the given momentum is 6.43 s.

The given parameters;

  • <em>momentum of the ball, P = 0.9 kgm/s</em>
  • <em>weight of the ball, W = 0.14 N</em>

The impulse experienced by the ball is calculated as follows;

Ft = \Delta P

where;

Ft is impulse

\Delta P is change in momentum

The time of motion of the ball is calculated as follows;

t = \frac{\Delta P}{F} \\\\t = \frac{0.9 - 0}{0.14} \\\\t = 6.43 \ s

Thus, the time spent in the air by the ball at the given momentum is 6.43 s.
