Answer:

(a) 1 : 2

(b) same

Explanation:

Let the mass of puck A is m and the mass of puck B is 2 m.

initial speed for both the pucks is same as u and the distance is same for both is s.

let the tension is T for same.

The kinetic energy is given by

K = 0.5 mv^2

(a) As the speed is same, so the kinetic energy depends on the mass.

So, kinetic energy of A : Kinetic energy of B = m : 2m  = 1 : 2

(b) A the distance s same so the final velocities are also same.

A car is brought to rest in a distance of 484m using a constant acceleration of -8.0m/s^2. What was the velocity of the car when
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

88 m/s

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the following SUVAT equation:

v^2-u^2=2ad

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d is the distance covered

For the car in this problem, we have

d = 484 m is the stopping distance

v = 0 is the final velocity

a=-8.0 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Solving for u, we find the initial velocity:

u=\sqrt{v^2-2ad}=\sqrt{-2(8.0)(484)}=88 m/s

Compare the collision between two baseballs and a catcher's mitt.
Nookie1986 [14]

The applied force is different for the two cases

The case A with a greater force involves the greatest momentum change

The case A involves the greatest force.

<h3>What is collision?</h3>
  • This is the head-on impact between two object moving in opposite or same direction.

The initial momentum of the two ball is the same.

P = mv

where;

  • m is the mass of each
  • v is the initial velocity of each ball

Since the force applied by the arm is different, the final velocity of the balls before stopping will be different.

Thus, the final momentum of each ball will be different

The impulse experienced by each ball is different since impulse is the change in momentum of the balls.

J = ΔP

The force applied by the rigid arm is greater than the force applied by the relaxed arm because the force applied by the rigid arm will cause the ball to be brought to rest faster.

Thus, we can conclude the following;

  • The applied force is different for the two cases
  • The case A with a greater force involves the greatest momentum change
  • The case A involves the greatest force.

During its swing, a pendulum on a clock has the kinetic energy of 6J and the potential energy of 5J. What formula will you use t
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, which is the energy exerted by a moving object. An active pendulum has the most kinetic energy at the lowest point of its swing when the weight is moving fastest.
