A 1.6 kg ball is attached to the end of a 0.40 m string to form a pendulum. This pendulum is released from rest with the string

horizontal. At the lowest point of its swing, when it is moving horizontally, the ball collides with a 0.80 kg block that is at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. The speed of the block just after the collision is 3 m/s. What is the speed of the ball just after the collision

Answer:

the speed of the ball just after the collision is 1.5 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ball, m₁ = 1.6 kg

initial velocity of the ball, u₁ = 0

mass of the block, m₂ = 0.8 kg

initial velocity of the block, u₂ = 0

final velocity of the block, v₂ = 3 m/s

let the final velocity of the ball after collision = v₁

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for elastic collision;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁  +  m₂v₂

1.6 x 0   +    0.8 x 0       =   1.6 x v₁     +  0.8 x 3

0 = 1.6v₁  + 2.4

-1.6v₁ = 2.4

v₁  = -2.4 / 1.6

v₁ = - 1.5 m/s

v₁ = 1.5 m/s (in opposite direction of the block)

Therefore, the speed of the ball just after the collision is 1.5 m/s.

A horse running at 3 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 5 m/s2. How fast is the
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The horse is going at 12.72 m/s speed.

Explanation:

The initial speed of the horse (u) = 3 m/s

The acceleration of the horse (a)= 5 m/s^{2}

The displacement( it is assumed it is moving in a straight line)(s)= 15.3 m

Applying the second equation of motion to find out the time,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

15.3=3t+2.5t^{2}

2.5t^{2}+3t-15.3=0

Solving this quadratic equation, we get time(t)=1.945 s, the other negative time is neglected.

Now applying first equation of motion, to find out the final velocity,

v=u+at

v=3+1.945*5

v=3+9.72

v=12.72 m/s

The horse travels at a speed of 12.72 m/s after covering the given distance.

If you shine a light of frequency 375hz on a double slit setup , and you measure the slit separation to be 950 nm and the screen
amm1812

Answer:

y = 33.93 10⁵ m

Explanation:

This is an interference exercise, for the contributory interference is described by the expression

           d sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry for the angle

           tan θ = y / L

how the angles are small

          tan θ = sin θ / cos tea = sin θ

 

we substitute

         sin θ = y / L

        d y / L = m λ

         y = m λ L / d

the light fulfills the relation of the waves

       c = λ f

       λ = c / f

       λ = 3 10⁸ /375

       λ = 8 10⁵ m

first order m = 1

let's calculate

        y = 1  8 10⁵  4030 10-9 / 950 10-9

        y = 33.93 10⁵ m

What is folk remedies
mario62 [17]

A "folk" remedy is something you choose to eat, take, or do,
in order to correct some health issue, because your friend,
your grandmother, your religion, your shaman, your astrologer,
or your medicine man says that it's the right thing to do. 

It may or may not be effective, and it may or may not even be
safe.  What distinguishes it from mainstream medicine is that
its practices are based on hearsay, and have not been subjected
to scientific methods of investigation and evaluation.
