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 800-kHz radio signal is detected at a point 8.5 km distant from a transmitter tower. The electric field amplitude of the sign
Temka [501]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of radio signal is

f = 800kHz = 800,000 Hz.

Distance from transmitter

d = 8.5km = 8500m

Electric field amplitude

E = 0.9 V/m

The average energy density can be calculated using

U_E = ½•ϵo•E²

Where ϵo = 8.85 × 10^-12 F/m

Then,

U_E = ½ × 8.85 × 10^-12 × 0.9²

U_E = 3.58 × 10^-12 J/m²

The average electromagnetic energy density is 3.58 × 10^-12 J/m²

If a 54 kg sprinter can accelerate from a standing start to a speed of 10 m/s in 3 s, what average power is generated?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Power, P = 600 watts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of sprinter, m = 54 kg

Speed, v = 10 m/s

Time taken, t = 3 s

We need to find the average power generated. The work done divided by time taken is called power generated by the sprinter i.e.

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

Work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the sprinter.

P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}{t}

P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times 54\ kg\times (10\ m/s)^2}{3\ s}

P = 900 watts

So, the average power generated by the sprinter is 900 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.
