Newton's law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers

A 0.311 kg tennis racket moving 30.3 m/s east makes an elastic collision with a 0.0570 kg ball moving 19.2 m/s west. Find the ve

Troyanec [42]

The velocity of tennis racket after collision is 14.96m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass, m = 0.311kg

u1 = 30.3m/s

m2 = 0.057kg

u2 = 19.2m/s

Since m2 is moving in opposite direction, u2 = -19.2m/s

Velocity of m1 after collision = ?

Let the velocity of m1 after collision be v

After collision the momentum is conserved.

Therefore,

m1u1 - m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

$v1 = (\frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2})u1 + (\frac{2m2}{m1+m2})u2$

$v1 = (\frac{0.311-0.057}{0.311+0.057})30.3 + (\frac{2 X 0.057}{0.311 + 0.057}) X-19.2\\\\v1 = (\frac{0.254}{0.368} )30.3 + (\frac{0.114}{0.368}) X -19.2\\ \\v1 = 20.91 - 5.95\\\\v1 = 14.96$

Therefore, the velocity of tennis racket after collision is 14.96m/s

What evidence do you that suggest water waves are transverse wave

svp [43]

Answer:

If you throw a pebble into a pond, ripples

spread out from where it went in. These

ripples are waves travelling through the

water. The waves move with a transverse

motion.

A 53.0-kg skater is traveling due east at a speed of 2.90 m/s. A 72.0-kg skater is moving due south at a speed of 6.20 m/s. They

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

a. $\thta=71^{\circ}$

b. $v_f=3.78 m/s$

Explanation:

We are given that

$m_1=53 kg$

$v_1=2.9 m/s$

$m_2= 72 kg$

$v_2=6.2 m/s$

a.We have to find the angle

$\theta=tan^{-1}{\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1v_1}=\frac{72(6.2)}{53(2.9)}=71^{\circ}$

$\theta=71^{\circ}$

b. We have to find the speed $v_f$

According to law of conservation of momentum

$m_1v_1=(m_1+m_2)v_fcos\theta$

$53(2.9)=(53+72)v_fcos 71^{\circ}=40.7 v_f$

$v_f=\frac{153.7}{40.7}=3.78 m/s$
