Question: A 2.0 kg sphere with a velocity of 6.0 m/s collides head-on and elastically with a stationary 10 kg sphere, What is thier velocities after collision.

Answer:

v = 6 m/s, v' = 0 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

For Elastic collision,

mu+m'u' = mv+m'v'......................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first sphere, m' = mass of the second sphere, u = initial velocity of the first sphere, u' = initial velocity of the second sphere, v = final veolocity of the first sphere, v' = final velocity of the second sphere.

Also,

The relative velocity before collision = relative velocity after collision

u-u' = v-v'............................ Equation 2

Given:  m = 2 kg, m' = 10 kg, u = 6 m/s, u' = 0 m/s

Substitute into equation 1 and 2

2(6)+10(0) = 2v+10v'

2v+10v' = 12.............. Equation 3

6-0 = v-v'

v-v' = 6 ................... Equation 4

Solve equation 3 and 4 simultaneously.

v = 6+v'............. Equation 5

Substitute equation 5 into equation 3

2(6+v')+10v' = 12

12+2v'+10v' = 12

12v' = 12-12

v' = 0/12

v' = 0 m/s.

Also substitute the value of v' into equation 5

v = 6+0

v = 6 m/s

An amusement park ride called the Rotor debuted in 1955 in Germany. Passengers stand in the cylindrical drum of the Rotor as it
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

μs = 0.36

Explanation:

  • While the drum is rotating, the riders, in order to keep in a circular movement, are accelerated towards the center of the drum.
  • This acceleration is produced by the centripetal force.
  • Now, this force is not a different type of force, is the net force acting on the riders in this direction.
  • Since the riders have their backs against the wall, and the normal force between the riders and the wall is perpendicular to the wall and aiming out of it, it is easily seen that this normal force is the same centripetal force.
  • In the vertical direction, we have two forces acting on the riders: the force of gravity (which we call weight) downward, and the friction force, that will oppose to the relative movement between the riders and the wall, going upward.
  • When this force be equal to the weight, it will have the maximum possible value, which can be written as follows:

       F_{frmax} = \mu_{s}* F_{n}  = m * g  (1)

  • where μs= coefficient of static friction (our unknown)
  • As  we have already said Fn = Fc.
  • The value of the centripetal force, is related with the angular velocity ω and the radius of the drum r, as follows:

      F_{n} = m* \omega^{2} * r  (2)

  • Replacing (2) in (1), simplifying and rearranging terms, we can solve for μs, as follows:

       \mu_{s} = \frac{g}{\omega^{2} r}  (3)

  • Prior to replace ω for its value, is convenient to convert it from rev/min to rad/sec, as follows:

       \omega = 26.0 \frac{rev}{min} * \frac{1min}{60 sec} *\frac{2*\pi rad }{1 rev} = 2.72 rad/sec (4)

  • Replacing g, ω and r in (3):
  • \mu_{s} = \frac{g}{\omega^{2} r} = \frac{9.8m/s2}{(2.72rad/sec)^{2} *3.7 m} = 0.36 (5)

a certain motor can produce a force of 70 n on a model plane. if the required acceleration is 30 m/s^2 then what is the maximum
8_murik_8 [283]
This is simply F=ma so 70N/30m/s^2 will give you the max mass which would be in kg, and the mass would be 2.333333kg a very light plane I might say

A hill that has a 15.5% grade is one that rises 15.5 m vertically for every 100.0 m of distance in the horizontal direction. At
Andreas93 [3]

The angle of incline of the hill above the horizontal is 8.81°.

Since the hill has a 15.5% grade is one that rises 15.5 m vertically for every 100.0 m of distance in the horizontal direction.

<h3>Tangent of the angle of the incline of the hill,</h3>

The tangent of the angle of the incline of the hill, Ф is

tanФ = vertical rise/horizontal distance = grade of hill

Now, the vertical rise = 15.5 m and the horizontal distance = 100.0 m

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

tanФ = vertical rise/horizontal run

tanФ = 15.5 m/100.0 m

tanФ = 0.155

<h3>Angle of incline of the hill</h3>

Taking inverse tan of both sides, we have

Ф = tan⁻¹(0.155)

Ф = 8.81°

So, the angle of incline of the hill above the horizontal is 8.81°.
