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

A loop of area 0.250 m^2 is in a uniform 0.020 0-T magnetic field. If the flux through the loop is 3.83 × 10-3T· m2, what angle

dangina [55]

Answer:

40.0⁰

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the magnetic flux is expressed as:

$\phi = BAcos\theta$ where:

$\phi$ is the magnetic flux

B is the magnetic field

A is the cross sectional area

$\theta$ is the angle that the normal to the plane of the loop make with the direction of the magnetic field.

Given

A = 0.250m²

B = 0.020T

$\phi$ = 3.83 × 10⁻³T· m²

3.83 × 10⁻³ = 0.020*0.250cosθ

3.83 × 10⁻³ = 0.005cosθ

cosθ = 0.00383/0.005

cosθ = 0.766

θ = cos⁻¹0.766

θ = 40.0⁰

<em>Hence the angle normal to the plane of the loop make with the direction of the magnetic field is 40.0⁰</em>

Bird bones have air pockets in them to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less thanthat o

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

41.4 g

41.4 cm³

1.08695 g/cm³

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Mass of water displaced will be the difference of the

$m=45-3.6\\\Rightarrow m=41.4\ g$

Mass of water displaced is 41.4 g

Density is given by

$\rho=\dfrac{m}{v}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{m}{\rho}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{41.4}{1}\\\Rightarrow v=41.4\ cm^3$

So, volume of bone is 41.4 cm³

Average density of the bird is given by

$\rho=\dfrac{45}{41.4}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1.08695\ g/cm^3$

The average density is 1.08695 g/cm³

Guillaume Amontons first took a stab at measuring absolute zero in 1702. What would be the most reasonable way it would have bee

Oliga [24]

He would measure the speed of molecules as the temperature gets colder until the temperature is measured at which motion stops.

<h3>What is the absolute zero?</h3>

The absolute zero refers to the temperature at which the gas seems to stop moving. Recall that temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas.

Hence, if Guillaume Amontons first took a stab at measuring absolute zero in 1702, he would measure the speed of molecules as the temperature gets colder until the temperature is measured at which motion stops.
