Answer:

The potential energy (P.E) at the top is 392 J

The kinetic energy (K.E) at the top is 0 J

The potential energy (P.E) at the halfway point is 196 J.

The kinetic energy (K.E) at the halfway point is 196 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the rock, m = 2 kg

height of the cliff, h = 20 m

speed of the rock at the halfway point, v = 14 m/s

The potential energy (P.E) and kinetic energy (K.E) when its at the top;

P.E = mgh

P.E = (2)(9.8)(20)

P.E= 392 J

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

v is velocity of the rock at the top of the cliff = 0

K.E = ¹/₂(2)(0)²

K.E = 0

The potential energy (P.E) and kinetic energy (K.E) at the halfway point;

P.E = mg(¹/₂h)

P.E = (2)(9.8)(¹/₂ x 20)

P.E = 196 J

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

v is velocity of the rock at the halfway point = 14 m/s

K.E = ¹/₂(2)(14)²

K.E = 196 J.

The two particles are both moving to the right. Particle 1 catches up with particle 2 and collides with it. The particles stick
Travka [436]

Answer:

c. vf is greator than v2, but less than v1

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that when two or more bodies act upon one another, their total momentum remains constant.

In a system of colliding bodies the total momentum of the system just before the collision is the same as the total momentum just after the collision.  

Collisions in which the kinetic energy is conserved are called elastic collision.

Collisions in which the kinetic energy is not conserved are called inelastic collisions.  If the two objects stick together after the collision and move with a common velocity, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic.

<em>The above scenario is a perfectly inelastic collision. The initial velocity of particle 1 was greater than particle 2 before collision. After collision, its velocity will reduce to a final velocity vf as it transfers some of its kinetic energy to particle 2; whereas, the velocity of particle 2 will increase to a final velocity vf as it absorbs some of the kinetic energy of particle 1.</em>

Therefore,

a. vf = v2 is wrong because vf is greater than v2

b. vf is less than v2 is wrong because vf is greater than v2

c. vf is greater than v2, but less than v1 is correct.

d. vf = v1 is wrong because vf is less than v1

The root-mean-square speed (thermal speed) of the molecules of a gas is 200m/s at 23.0°C. At 227°C the root-mean-square speed (t
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

330 m/s  approx

Explanation:

The RMS speed of a gas is proportional to square root of its absolute temperature is

V ( RMS ) ∝ √T

\frac{V_1}{V_2} =\sqrt{\frac{T_1}{T_2} }

Here V₁ = 200 , T₁ = 23 +273 = 300K , T₂ = 227 +273 = 500 K

Putting the values

200 / V₂ = \sqrt{\frac{300}{500} }

V₂ = 330 m/s  approx
