To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the conservation of momentum.
This definition can be expressed as

Where
= Mass of each object
= Initial Velocity of each object
= Final velocity
Rearranging the equation to find the final velocity we have,

Our values are given as

Replacing we have,


Therefore the final velocity is 6.5m/s
Answer:
The new height the ball will reach = (1/4) of the initial height it reached.
Explanation:
The energy stored in any spring material is given as (1/2)kx²
This energy is converted to potential energy, mgH, of the ball at its maximum height.
If the initial height reached is H
And the initial compression of the spring = x
So, mgH = (1/2)kx²
H = kx²/2mg
The new compression, x₁ = x/2
New energy of loaded spring = (1/2)kx₁²
And the new potential energy = mgH₁
mgH₁ = (1/2)kx₁²
But x₁ = x/2
mgH₁ = (1/2)k(x/2)² = kx²/8
H₁ = kx²/8mg = H/4 (provided all the other parameters stay constant)
Answer:
x = 0.974 L
Explanation:
given,
length of inclination of log = 30°
mass of log = 200 Kg
rock is located at = 0.6 L
L is the length of the log
mass of engineer = 53.5 Kg
let x be the distance from left at which log is horizontal.
For log to be horizontal system should be in equilibrium
∑ M = 0
mass of the log will be concentrated at the center
distance of rock from CM of log = 0.1 L
now,
∑ M = 0



x = 0.974 L
hence, distance of the engineer from the left side is equal to x = 0.974 L
It is 10.20 m from the ground.
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u>Given:</u>
m = 0.5 kg
PE = 50 J
We know that the Potential energy is calculated by the formula:

where m is the is mass in kg; g is acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s and h is height in meters.
PE is the Potential Energy.
Potential Energy is the amount of energy stored when an object is stationary.
Here, if we substitute the values in the formula, we get

50 = 0.5 × 9.8 × h
50 = 4.9 × h

h = 10.20 m
