I WIL A 2.00-kg object traveling east at 20.0 m/s collides with a 3.00-kg object traveling west at 10.0 m/s. After the collision
pishuonlain [190]
Using the following given values:

Object 1:
Mass = M1 = 2 kg
Velocity before collision = Vb1 = 20 m/s
Velocity after collision = Va1 = -5 m/s 

Object 2:
Mass = M2 = 3 kg
Velocity before collision = Vb2 = -10 m/s
Velocity after collision = Va2 = ? m/s<span> 
</span>
Obtaining Va2 via law of conservation of momentum:

total momentum after collision = total momentum before collision
M1 * Va1 + M2 * Va2 = M1 * Vb1 + M2 * Vb2
2*-5 + 3Va2 = 2*20 + 3*-10
Va2 = 6.67

Total kinetic energy before collision:

KE1 = (1/2)*M1*Vb1^2 + (1/2)*M2*Vb2^2
<span>KE1 = (1/2)*2*(20)^2 + (1/2)*3*(-10)^2
KE1 = 550 J

</span>Total kinetic energy after collision:

KE2 = (1/2)*M1*Va1^2 + (1/2)*M2*Va2^2
<span>KE2 = (1/2)*2*(-5)^2 + (1/2)*3*(6.67)^2
KE2 = 91.73 J
</span>
Total kinetic energy lost:

Energy lost = KE1 - KE2 = 550 - 91.73 = 458.27 J

What is newtons first,second, and third law?
horrorfan [7]

Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.

Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. .

Newton's third law: All forces in the universe occur in equal but oppositely directed pairs.

lasers 1 and 2 emit light of the same color, and the electric field in the beam of laser 1 is twice as strong as the e-field of
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The intensity of laser 2 is 4 times of the intensity of laser 1.

Explanation:

The intensity in terms of electric field is given by :

U=\dfrac{1}{2}\epsilon_o E^2

E is electric field

It means, U\propto E^2

In this problem, lasers 1 and 2 emit light of the same color, and the electric field in the beam of laser 1 is twice as strong as the e-field of laser 2.

Let E is electric field in the beam of laser 1 and E' is the electric field in the beam of laser 2. So,

\dfrac{U}{U'}=(\dfrac{E}{E'})^2

We have,

E'=2E

So,

\dfrac{U}{U'}=\dfrac{E^2}{(2E)^2}\\\\\dfrac{U}{U'}=\dfrac{E^2}{4E^2}\\\\\dfrac{U}{U'}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\U'=4\times U

So, the intensity of laser 2 is 4 times of the intensity of laser 1.

What are laws of newton
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction
