Answer:

The puck B remains at the point of collision.

Explanation:

This is an elastic collision, so both momentum and energy are conserved.

The mass of both pucks is m.

The velocity of puck B before the collision is vb.

The velocity of puck A and B after the collision is va' and vb', respectively.

Momentum before = momentum after

m vb = m vb' + m va'

vb = vb' + va'

Energy before = energy after

½ m vb² = ½ m vb'² + ½ m va'²

vb² = vb'² + va'²

Substituting:

(vb' + va')² = vb'² + va'²

vb'² + 2 va' vb' + va'² = vb'² + va'²

2 va' vb' = 0

va' vb' = 0

We know that va' isn't 0, so:

vb' = 0

The puck B remains at the point of collision.

A bowling ball is launched from the top of a building at an angle of 35° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 15 m/s. T

Mamont248 [21]

Let $y_0$ be the height of the building and thus the initial height of the ball. The ball's altitude at time $t$ is given by

$y=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ\,t-\dfrac g2t^2$

where $g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

The ball reaches the ground when $y=0$ after $t=2.9\,\mathrm s$ . Solve for $y_0$ :

$0=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ(2.9\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2.9\,\mathrm s)^2$

$\implies y_0\approx16.258\,\mathrm m$

so the building is about 16 m tall (keeping track of significant digits).

Why might an electromagnet be used to pick up old cars in junk yards?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

I think the correct answer would be that because electromagnets are powerful and can be turned off and on anytime. Electromagnet is a magnet in which the magnetic field is made by the electric current that is induced to the system.

How much time is needed to produce 720 Joules of work if 90 watts of power is used?

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

power (P) is defined as the rate at which work is done.

power is measured in Watts (W) , when the work done is measured in Joules (J) and time in seconds

by the definition of power,

$Power=\frac{work.done}{time.taken} \\ \\ time.taken=\frac{work.done}{power}\\=\frac{720J }{90W} \\ \\ =8 s$

Why is honesty especially important in a scientist when the results of an experiment go against predictions❓❔

kramer

Because other scientists and science in general rely on their collegues' research which in turn allows development of our knowledge on the given subject. The more dont-to-earth reason may be safety. If someone performs an experiment without knowledge of its true results it might result in some danger to the safety of those perforning it without knowledge of all the risks.
