A 4.0 kg circular disk slides in the x- direction on a frictionless horizontal surface with a speed of 5.0 m/s as shown in the a

djacent Figure. It collides with an identical disk that is at rest before the collision. The collision is elastic. Disk 1 goes off at an 60 5.0 m/s angle of 60 with respect to the x-direction. Disk 2 g 30 goes off at an angle of 30 with respect to the x-direction. What best describes the speeds of the disks after the collision?

Solution :

Let $m_1=m_2=4$ kg

$u_1 = 5$ m/s

Let $v_1$ and $v_2$ are the speeds of the disk $m_1$ and $m_2$  after the collision.

So applying conservation of momentum in the y-direction,

$0=m_1 .v_1_y -m_2 .v_2_y $

$v_1_y = v_2_y$

$v_1 . \sin 60=v_2. \sin 30$

$v_2 = v_1 \times \frac{\sin 60}{\sin 30}$

$v_2=1.732 \times v_1$

Therefore, the disk 2 have greater velocity and hence more kinetic energy after the collision.

Now applying conservation of momentum in the x-direction,

$m_1.u_1=m_1.v_1_x+m_2.v_2_x$

$u_1=v_1_x+v_2_x$

$5=v_1. \cos 60 + v_2 . \cos 30$

$5=v_1. \cos 60 + 1.732 \times v_1 \cos 30$

$v_1 = 2.50$ m/s

So, $v_2 = 1.732 \times 2.5$

          = 4.33 m/s

Therefore, speed of the disk 2 after collision is 4.33 m/s

A rope pulls a 20 kg box up. If the tension in the rope is 275 N, what is the acceleration of the box?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 13.75 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{275}{20}  =  \frac{55}{4}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>13.75 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

Consult Multiple-Concept Example 15 to review the concepts on which this problem depends. Water flowing out of a horizontal pipe
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The pressure of the water in the pipe is 129554 Pa.

Explanation:

<em>There are wrongly written values on the proposal, the atmospheric pressure must be 101105 Pa, and the density of water 1001.03 kg/m3, those values are the ones that make sense with the known ones.</em>

We start usign the continuity equation, and always considering point 1 a point inside the pipe and point 2 a point in the nozzle:

A_1v_1=A_2v_2

We want v_2, and take into account that the areas are circular:

v_2=\frac{A_1v_1}{A_2}=\frac{\pi r_1^2 v_1}{\pi r_2^2}=\frac{r_1^2 v_1}{r_2^2}

Substituting values we have (we don't need to convert the cm because they cancel out between them anyway):

v_2=\frac{r_1^2 v_1}{r_2^2}=\frac{(1.8cm)^2 (0.56m/s)}{(0.49cm)^2}=7.56m/s

For determining the absolute pressure of the water in the pipe we use the Bernoulli equation:

P_1+\frac{\rho v_1^2}{2}+\rho gh_1=P_2+\frac{\rho v_2^2}{2}+\rho gh_2

Since the tube is horizontal h_1=h_2 and those terms cancel out, so the pressure of the water in the pipe will be:

P_1=P_2+\frac{\rho v_2^2}{2}-\frac{\rho v_1^2}{2}=P_2+\frac{\rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)}{2}

And substituting for the values we have, considering the pressure in the nozzle is the atmosphere pressure since it is exposed to it we obtain:

P_1=101105 Pa+\frac{1001.03Kg/m^3 ((7.56m/s)^2-(0.56m/2)^2)}{2}=129554 Pa
