Two masses are to collide directly with each other. One has a mass of 5 kg and a velocity of 2 m/s. The other has a mass of 3 kg

and a velocity of 1 m/2. The collision is perfectly inelastic. Find the velocity of the masses after the collision.

Answer:

v₃ = 1.625 [m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of linear momentum conservation, which tells us that momentum is conserved before and after a collision.

Since the collision is inelastic, the two bodies are joined after the collision.

P = m*v [kg*m/s]

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

where:

P = lineal momentum [kg*m/s]

Now, it is important to clarify that in the following equation we will take the left side of the equation as the momentum before the collision and the right side of the equal sign as the momentum after the collision.

Pbefore = Pafter

(m₁*v₁) + (m₂*v₂) = (m₁+m₂)*v₃

where:

m₁ = mass one = 5 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the mass one = 2 [m/s]

m₂ = mass two = 3 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of the mass two = 1 [m/s]

v₃ = velocity of the combined masses after the collision [m/s]

Now replacing we have:

(5*2) + (3*1) = (5 + 3)*v₃

10 + 3 = 8*v₃

v₃ = 13/8

v₃ = 1.625 [m/s]

Ox:vₓ=v₀

x=v₀t

Oy:y=h-gt²/2

|vy|=gt

tgα=|vy|/vₓ=gt/v₀=>t=v₀tgα/g

y=0=>h=gt²/2=v₀²tg²α/2g=>tgα=√(2gh/v₀²)=√(2*10*20/24²)=√(400/576)=0.83=>α=tg⁻¹0.83=39°

cosα=vₓ/v=v₀/v=>v=v₀/cosα=24/cos39°=24/0,77=31.16 m/s

Ec=mv²/2=2*31.16²/2=971.47 J=>Ec≈0.97 kJ

A girl moves quickly to the center of a spinning merry-go-round, traveling along the radius of the merry-go-round. Which of the
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The angular speed of the system increases.

The moment of inertia of the system decreases.

Explanation:

As we know that the girl is going towards the center of the circle so here the moment of inertia of the girl is given as

I = mr^2

here we know that

r = position of the girl from the center of the disc

now we know that the girl is moving towards the center so its distance will continuously decreasing

So the moment of inertia of the girl will decrease

Now we know that that with respect to the center of the disc there is no torque on the disc + girl system

So here we can use angular momentum conservation

So we have

I\omega = constant

since moment of inertia is decreasing for the system

so angular speed will increase

Describe the main energy transformations that occur when an apple falls from a tree? ​
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Kinetic energy

Explanation:

When an apple falls from a tree it has to do with the energy from gravity. Gravity energy turns into kinetic energy once its in motion.

I will make you brainliest! Very Easy question!!!!
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Synthetic Materials are man-made; natural materials are only warmer than synthetic materials, if the natural material is obtained from an animal. Wool is warmer than any synthetic material available, but <em>polyester</em> (a synthetic material) can be warmer than cotton (a natural plant-based material).
