Two balls, each with a mass of 0.5 kg, collide on a pool table. Is the law of conservation of momentum satisfied in the collisio

n? Explain why or why not

During the collision between two balls on the pool table there is no external force along the line of collision between them

Since there is no external force on it so here we can say

$F = 0 = \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}$

here we have

$\Delta P = 0$

so we can say

$P_i = P_f$

since there is no external force so we can say during the collision the momentum of two balls will remain conserved

<h3>Sample Response: <em>Yes, the law of conservation of momentum is satisfied. The total momentum before the collision is 1.5 kg • m/s and the total momentum after the collision is 1.5 kg • m/s. The momentum before and after the collision is the same.</em></h3><h3><em /></h3>

Find the angle of prism if the ray just fail to emerge from 2nd face When ray of light falls normallly on the face of prism of R

Usimov [2.4K]

The angle of prism is 41.81 degrees.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For no emergence to be taken place, inside a prism, Total Internal Reflection (TIR) should take place at the second surface. For TIR, at second surface, angle of refraction must be greater than critical angle. Angle of prism is related to refraction as,

$A>r_{1}+C$

Since, $r_{1}$ = C and $A \geq 2 C$

This implies $A \geq C$

$\sin A \geq \sin C$

$\sin A \geq \frac{1}{\mu}$

$\sin A \geq \frac{2}{3}$

when sin goes to other side become as sin inverse of value, and obtain the result as below,

$A=41.81^{\circ}$

A soccer ball is kicked from the top of one building with a height of H1 = 30.2 m to another building with a height of H2 = 12.0

viktelen [127]

Hi there!

Initially, we have gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. If we set the zero-line at H2 (12.0m), then the ball at the second building only has kinetic energy.

We also know there was work done on the ball by air resistance that decreased the ball's total energy.

Let's do a summation using the equations:
$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \\\\PE = mgh$

Our initial energy consists of both kinetic and potential energy (relative to the final height of the ball)

$E_i = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mg(H_1 - H_2)$

Our final energy, since we set the zero-line to be at H2, is just kinetic energy.

$E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2$

And:
$W_A = E_i - E_f$

The work done by air resistance is equal to the difference between the initial energy and the final energy of the soccer ball.

Therefore:
$W_A = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mg(H_1 - H_2) - \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2$

Solving for the work done by air resistance:
$W_A = \frac{1}{2}(.450)(15.1^2)+ (.450)(9.8)(30.2 - 12) - \frac{1}{2}(.450)(19.89^2)$

$W_A = \boxed{42.552 J}$

A ship's wheel has a moment of inertia of 0.930 kilogram·meters squared. The inner radius of the ring is 26 centimeters, and the

Vikki [24]

We can use the formula of the moment of inertia given by:

$r\cdot F=I\alpha$

Where:

r = Distance from the point about which the torque is being measured to the point where the force is applied

F = Force

I = Moment of inertia

α = Angular acceleration

So:

$\begin{gathered} r\cdot F=(-0.26\times314+290\times0.32)=92.8-81.64=11.16 \\ I=0.930 \\ so,_{\text{ }}solve_{\text{ }}for_{\text{ }}\alpha: \\ \alpha=\frac{r\cdot F}{I} \\ \alpha=\frac{11.16}{0.930} \\ \alpha=\frac{12rad}{s^2} \end{gathered}$

Answer:

12 rad/s²
