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

An organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or their by-products
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

heterotrophs

Explanation:

According to the parameters established by biology, all living beings that require others to feed themselves are considered heterotrophs, that is, they are not able to produce their food within their organism but rather they must consume elements of nature already constituted as food, already synthesized by other organisms. Among the most prominent heterotrophs, all animals, bacteria and humans stand out.

The term heterotroph comes from the Greek, language in which the prefix hetero means different and trophies means food. In this way, the heterotroph is one that feeds on elements other than one, which takes elements from nature, from the surrounding space to feed. While autotrophic beings have the ability to synthesize inorganic elements such as light, water, carbon dioxide and convert them into food; Heterotrophic beings do not have that capacity, so they must consume plants (in the case that they are herbivores) or animals that have already consumed those plants (that is, in the case that they are carnivorous). In other words, animals and humans always need to feed on other living beings, they could never do so only from inorganic elements such as water.

Please hurry Describe why electric currents can be dangerous
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Cardiac Arrest, burns, and nerve damage.

Explanation:

Basically, the main risk is cardiac arrest, caused by the electric current interfering with the normal operation of the heart muscle. Other possible damages are burns due to the electric energy vaporizing the water inside the cells, and nerve damage caused by excessive current through the nerves.

A force of 10N is required to stretch a spring from 20cm to 25cm. What is the spring constant in N/m2 Be careful of unit
kupik [55]

Answer:

C) 40 N/m

Explanation:

If we ASSUME that the spring is un-stretched at the zero cm position

k = F/Δx = 10/0.25 = 40 N/m
