Answer:

v_{2f} = \frac{2vm_1}{m_2 + m_1}

Explanation:

If the collision is elastic and exactly head-on, then we can use the law of momentum conservation for the motion of the 2 balls

Before the collision

P_i = m_1v

After the collision

P_f = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

So using the law of momentum conservation

P_i = P_f

m_1v = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

We can solve for the speed of ball 1 post collision in terms of others:

v_{1f} = v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}

Their kinetic energy is also conserved before and after collision

m_1v^2/2 = m_1v_{1f}^2/2 + m_2v_{2f}^2/2

m_1v^2 = m_1v_{1f}^2 + m_2v_{2f}^2

From here we can plug in v_{1f} = v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}

m_1v^2 = m_1\left(v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}\right)^2 + m_2v_{2f}^2

m_1v^2 = m_1\left(v^2 - 2vv_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1} + v_{2f}^2\frac{m_2^2}{m_1^2}\right) + m_2v_{2f}^2

m_1v^2 = m_1v^2 - 2vv_{2f}m_2 + v_{2f}^2\frac{m_2^2}{m_1} + m_2v_{2f}^2

v_{2f}^2(m_2 + \frac{m_2^2}{m_1}) - 2vm_2v_{2f} = 0

v_{2f}(1 + \frac{m_2}{m_1}) = 2v

v_{2f} = \frac{2v}{1 + \frac{m_2}{m_1}} = \frac{2v}{\frac{m_1 + m_2}{m_1}} = \frac{2vm_1}{m_2 + m_1}

nydimaria [60]
We know that the electric field is equal to 1 E 6 V/m

The distance between the thundercloud and the ground is 1.6km = 1600m

Electric field = Voltage/distance

This means that the breakdown voltage must be equal to

V = 1 E 6 V/m * 1600m = 1.6 E 9 V = 1.6 GV

What is 6,210 bucks converted to kilobucks?
Vinvika [58]

When 6210 bucks is converted to kilobucks, the result obtained is  6.21 kilobucks

<h3>Conversion scale </h3>

1000 bucks = 1 Kilobuck

Using the above convesion scale, we can express 6210 bucks in kilobucks

<h3>How to express bucks in kilobucks</h3>

1000 bucks = 1 Kilobuck

Therefore,

6210 bucks = (6210 × 1) / 1000

6210 bucks = 6.21 kilobucks

Thus, 6210 bucks is equivalent to 6.21 kilobucks

Suppose you are on a cart, initially at rest, which rides on a frictionless horizontal track. You throw a ball at a vertical sur
Len [333]

Answer:

F_c t_ c = -F_b t_b

And the forces are equal but in the opposite direction. So then we can write by general rule:

m_c \Delta V_{c} = -m_b \Delta V_b

Or equivalently:

m_c \Delta V_{c} +m_b \Delta V_b =0

Where: V_c represent the speed of the car and V_b the speed of the ball

m_c represent the mass of the car

m_b represent the mass of the ball

Since the ball is moving to the left and we assume that the total momentum not changes then the car need to move to the right in order to satisfy the equation and satisfy the balance.

By conservation of the momentum the car will move to the right since the ball is moves to the left.

So then the correct option for this case is :

A.Yes, and it moves to the right.

Explanation:

If we assume that we have the situation in the figure attached.

For this case we assume that the momentum changes are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, so then we satisfy this:

F_c t_ c = -F_b t_b

And the forces are equal but in the opposite direction. So then we can write by general rule:

m_c \Delta V_{c} = -m_b \Delta V_b

Or equivalently:

m_c \Delta V_{c} +m_b \Delta V_b =0

Where: V_c represent the speed of the car and V_b the speed of the ball

m_c represent the mass of the car

m_b represent the mass of the ball

Since the ball is moving to the left and we assume that the total momentum not changes then the car need to move to the right in order to satisfy the equation and satisfy the balance.

By conservation of the momentum the car will move to the right since the ball is moves to the left.

So then the correct option for this case is :

A.Yes, and it moves to the right.
