Three small balls of the same size but different masses are hung side-by-side in parallel on the strings of same length. They to

uch each other. The first ball of mass m1 is pulled to the height h and released from rest. The first ball collides elastically with the second ball of mass m2, and the second ball collides elastically with the third ball of mass m3 afterwards. After these two collisions, three balls will have the same momentum. What is the value of m3?
(a) m1
(b) 2m1/3
(c) m1/6
(d) m1/2
(e) m1/3

Answer:

m1/6 ( c )

Explanation:

since all the balls starts having the same momentum after the two collisions we will apply the principal of conservation of energy

After first collision

m1v = m1v1 + m2v2 --- ( 1 )

After second collision

m2v2 = m2v2 + m3v3 ---- ( 2 )

combining equations 1 and 2

m1v = m1v1 + m2v2 + m3v3 ----- ( 3 )

All balls moving at the same momentum ( p ) = m1v1 = m2v2 = m3v3

note ; 3p = m1v ∴ m3 = $\frac{m1v}{3v3}$ ----- ( 4 )

applying conservation of energy

3v = v1 + v2 + v3 ------- ( 5 )

also 3m1v1 = m1v = v1 = v/3 =

v2 + v3 = 8/3 v ----- ( 6 )

next eliminate V3 for equation 6 by applying conservation of energy and momentum

m1 = 2m2 ------ ( 7 )

now using p1 = p2 = m1v1 = 1/2 m1v1 hence v2 = 2v1 where v1 = 1/3 v

hence ; v2 = 2/3 v ------- ( 8 )

solving with equation 6 and 8

v3 = 2v ------ ( 9 ) ∴ v/v3 = 1/2 ---- ( 10 )

solving with equation 9 and 10

m3 = m1/3 * 1/2 = m1/6

Answer:2m/s²

Explanation: Well F=MA so sice F=4N and M=2kg let's plug in the values

4N=2KG*A

A=4N/2KG

A=2m/s²

Medical cyclotrons need efficient sources of protons to inject into their center. In one kind of ion source, hydrogen atoms (i.e

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

$r=5.278\times 10^{-4}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that:

magnetic field intensity, $B=0.07\ T$

kinetic energy of electron, $KE=1.2\ eV= 1.2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ J= 1.92\times 10^{-19}\ J$

we have mass of electron, $m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

<em>Now, form the mathematical expression of Kinetic Energy:</em>

$KE= \frac{1}{2} m.v^2$

$1.92\times 10^{-19}=0.5\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times v^2$

$v^2=4.2198\times 10^{11}$

$v=6.496\times 10^6\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>from the relation of magnetic and centripetal forces we have the radius as:</u>

$r=\frac{m.v}{q.B}$

$r=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 6.496\times 10^6 }{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.07}$

$r=5.278\times 10^{-4}\ m$

The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.
So since the boat has a lower density than the water, it will float.
So the answer is choice B

You are throwing a stone straight-up in the absence of air friction. The stone is caught at the same height from which it was th

balu736 [363]

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

When a stone is thrown straight-up, it has an initial velocity which decreases gradually as the stone move to maximum height due to constant acceleration due to gravity acting downward on the stone, at the maximum height the final velocity of the stone is zero. As the stone descends the velocity starts to increase and becomes maximum before it hits the ground.

Height of the motion is given by;

$H = \frac{u^2}{2g}$

g is acceleration due to gravity which is constant

H is height traveled

u is the speed of throw, which determines the value of height traveled.

Therefore, when the stone is caught at the same height from which it was thrown in the absence of air resistance, the speed of the stone when thrown will be equal to the speed when caught.

Which is a more objective measurement, sound intensity or loudness, and why? 1. sound intensity is exactly same as loudness. 2.

fgiga [73]

The correct answer is:
<span>2. sound intensity is a more objective and physical attribute of a sound wave because loudness can vary from person to person

indeed, sound intensity is a measurable quantity, and so it is objective, while loudness is the subjective perception of the sound level, so it varies from person to person.</span>
