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

We divide the electromagnetic spectrum into six major categories of light, listed below. Rank these forms of light from left to
algol13

Answer:

gamma rays  < X-ray  < ultraviolet ray < visible light < infrared  < radio wave

Explanation:

given light form,

A) radio waves,B) infrared,C) visible light,D) ultraviolet,E) X-rays,F) gamma rays

we know,

wavelength of radio wave = 10000 Km

wavelength of infrared = 700 nanometers (nm) to 1 millimeter (mm)

wavelength of visible light = 380 to 740 nm

wavelength of ultraviolet ray = 10 nm to 400 nm

wavelength of X-ray =  0.01 to 10 nm

wavelength of gamma rays = 100 picometer

so, the order of rays.

gamma rays  < X-ray  < ultraviolet ray < visible light < infrared  < radio wave
