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

True or False. Atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere function together to create environments for the biosphere.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Biosphere refer to regions of the earth(sphere) that supports life. It is made up of biotic and abiotic components. Its abiotic components are non-living components that support life and  is made up of the lithosphere (the earth crust,mantle) , atmosphere(area of gases and air which is  held by gravitational force) and the hydrosphere(all water bodies which includes ocean, sea, lakes, rivers etc).

A crate feels a 277 n normal force as it sits on the ground. what is its mass?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

28.3 kg

Explanation:

Assuming the ground is level, the normal force equals the weight.

N = mg

277 N = m × 9.8 m/s²

m = 28.3 kg

A rocket is launched straight up with constant acceleration. Four seconds after liftoff, a bolt falls off the side of the rocket
Olenka [21]

Answer:

1.3m/s²

Explanation:

Given values in the first part: acceleration a, time t₁:

1) velocity v₀ = at_1

2) height h₀ =\frac{1}{2}at_1^2

Given values in the second part: acceleration -g,  time t₂:

3) height h = -\frac{1}{2}gt_2^2+v_0t_2+h_0

Combining equations 1,2,3 and setting h to zero:

0=-\frac{1}{2}gt_2^2+(at_1)t_2+\frac{1}{2}at_1^2\\ 0=a(t_1t_2+\frac{1}{2}t_1^2)-\frac{1}{2}gt_2^2

Solve for a with t₁ = 4s and t₂=2.1s:

a=\frac{1}{2}gt_2^2(\frac{1}{t_1t_2+\frac{1}{2}t_1^2})
