Answer:

Final momentum after a head on collision is -2kgm/s

Explanation:

         One ball moves to the right and the other moves opposite  and momentum is a vector quantity so that considering the direction

Initial momenta are        P₁=2x3=6kgm/s        P₂=4x(-2)=-8kgm/s      

Final momentum is the vector sum of P(final)= 6-8= -2 kgm/s

A horizontal spring is attached to the wall on one end and to a mass on the other end. The mass can slide freely on a frictionle
Radda [10]

Answer:

a) x=0  %T=0,   b) x= A %T=100%,   c) x=-A %T=50%

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic movement exercise, which is explained by the expression

          x = A cos (wt + Ф)

where angular velocity is related to frequency and period

         w = 2π f = 2π / T

we can write the equation of the oscillation

         x = A cos θ

When seeing the two equations they are equivalent, so what happens with the angle will also happen with time

We are asked for the percentage of the period at three points: at the maximum elongation and at the point of x = 0, in general the distance is measured from the point of the spring without stretching

The period is defined as the time that the system takes to give a complete oscillation, that is, from x = 0 to x = A and return

a) for the unstretched spring point x = 0

In general, both distance and time are measured from this point, so the percentage of time is zero.

         % T = 0

b) for x = A

 let's find the angle

      cos tea = x / A = 1

therefore the angles tea = 2π rad

when the movement reaches the point of 2π radians it begins to repeat so the period is complete

            % T = 100%

c) the point of maximum compression x = -A

let's look for the angles

      cos tea = x / A = -1

therefore the angles tea = π rad

at this point the movement is halfway so it should take half the time

                % T = 50%

What is the origin of magma
sveta [45]
Magma forms by partial melting of upper mantle and crust. Partial melt means that only a fraction of the available material forms a melt, and that the remainder stays solid. The partial melt rises because of its lower density and ascends through he crust.
