7. A ball of mass m makes a head-on elastic collision with a second ball (at rest) and rebounds with a speed equal to 0.450 its

original speed. What is the mass of the second ball

Answer:

mass of the second ball is 0.379m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of first ball = m

let initial velocity of first ball = u₁

let final velocity of first ball = v₁ = 0.45u₁

let the mass of the second ball = m₂

initial velocity of the second ball, u₂ = 0

let the final velocity of the second ball = v₂

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

mu₁ + m₂u₂ = mv₁ + m₂v₂

mu₁ + 0 = 0.45u₁m + m₂v₂

mu₁ = 0.45u₁m + m₂v₂ -------- equation (i)

Velocity for elastic collision in one dimension;

u₁ + v₁ = u₂ + v₂

u₁ + 0.45u₁ = 0 + v₂

1.45u₁ = v₂ (final velocity of the second ball)

Substitute in v₂ into equation (i)

mu₁ = 0.45u₁m + m₂(1.45u₁)

mu₁ = 0.45u₁m + 1.45m₂u₁

mu₁ - 0.45u₁m = 1.45m₂u₁

0.55mu₁ = 1.45m₂u₁

divide both sides by u₁

0.55m = 1.45m₂

m₂ = 0.55m / 1.45

m₂ = 0.379m

Therefore, mass of the second ball is 0.379m (where m is mass of the first ball)

At an altitude of 5000 m the rocket's acceleration has increased to 6.9 m/s2 . What mass of fuel has it burned?

sergey [27]

1) Initial upward acceleration: $6.0 m/s^2$

2) Mass of burned fuel: $0.10\cdot 10^4 kg$

Explanation:

1)

There are two forces acting on the rocket at the beginning:

- The force of gravity, of magnitude $F_g = mg$ , in the downward direction, where

$m=1.9\cdot 10^4 kg$ is the rocket's mass

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

- The thrust of the motor, T, in the upward direction, of magnitude

$T=3.0\cdot 10^5 N$

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on the rocket must be equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration, so we can write:

$T-mg=ma$ (1)

where a is the acceleration of the rocket.

Solving for a, we find the initial acceleration:

$a=\frac{T-mg}{m}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^5-(1.9\cdot 10^4)(9.8)}{1.9\cdot 10^4}=6.0 m/s^2$

2)

When the rocket reaches an altitude of 5000 m, its acceleration has increased to

$a'=6.9 m/s^2$

The reason for this increase is that the mass of the rocket has decreased, because the rocket has burned some fuel.

We can therefore rewrite eq.(1) as

$T-m'g=m'a'$

where

$m'$ is the new mass of the rocket

Re-arranging the equation and solving for m', we find

$m'=\frac{T}{g+a}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^5}{9.8+6.9}=1.8\cdot 10^4 kg$

And since the initial mass of the rocket was

$m=1.9 \cdot 10^4 kg$

This means that the mass of fuel burned is

$\Delta m = m-m'=1.9\cdot 10^4 - 1.80\cdot 10^4 = 0.10\cdot 10^4 kg$

notsponge [240]

Specific heat capacity= heat energy/mass×temperature rise

962°C - 20°C = 942K

Heat energy (Eh) = 239 × 1.55 × 942
Eh= 348963.9J

a vector a has components a x equals -5.00 m in a y equals 9.00 meters find the magnitude and the direction of the vector

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The magnitude = 10.30 m

The direction of the vector proceeds at angle of 119.05°

Explanation:

Given that:

A vector $\bar A$ has component $A_x$ = -5 m and $A_y$ = 9 m

The magnitude of vector $\bar A$ can be represented as:

$\bar A$ = $\sqrt{A_x^2 + A_y^2}$

$\bar A$ = $\sqrt{(-5)^2 + (9)^2}$

$\bar A$ = $\sqrt{25 + 81}$

$\bar A$ = $\sqrt{106}$

$\bar A$ = 10.30 m

If we make $\bar A$ an angle $\theta$ with y- axis:

Then; tan $\theta$ = $\frac{A_x}{A_y}$

tan $\theta$ = $\frac{5}{9}$

tan $\theta$ = 0.555

$\theta$ = tan⁻¹ (0.555)

$\theta$ = 29.05°

Angle with positive x-axis = 90 + $\theta$

= 90° + 29.05°

= 119.05°

A 0.0750kg teddy bear is dropped from a deck that is 3.00m above the ground. What will be the velocity of the teddy bear as it s

FrozenT [24]

The velocity of the teddy bear as it strikes the ground is 7.67 m/s.

<h3>Velocity of the teddy when it strikes the ground</h3>

The velocity of the teddy when it strikes the ground is calculated from principle of conservation of energy as shown below.

K.E(bottom) = P.E(top)

¹/₂mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

where;

h is height of fall of the teddy
g is acceleration due to gravity

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 3)

v = 7.67 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the teddy bear as it strikes the ground is 7.67 m/s.
