When a golfer tees off, the head of her golf club which has a mass of 158 g is traveling 48.2 m/s just before it strikes a 46.0

g golf ball at rest on a tee. Immediately after the collision, the club head continues to travel in the same direction but at a reduced speed of 32.7 m/s. Neglect the mass of the club handle and determine the speed of the golf ball just after impact.

Answer:

v₂ = 53.23 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a golf club, m₁ = 158 g = 0.158 kg

The initial speed of a golf club, u₁  =  48.2 m/s

The mass of a golf ball, m₂ = 46 g = 0.046 kg

It was at rest, u₂ = 0

Immediately after the collision, the club head continues to travel in the same direction but at a reduced speed of 32.7 m/s, v₁ = 32.7 m/s

We use the conservation of energy to find the speed of the golf ball just after impact as follows :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\\\v_2=\dfrac{m_1u_1-m_1v_1}{m_2}\\\\v_2=\dfrac{0.158(48.2)-0.158(32.7)}{0.046}\\\\=53.23\ m/s

So, the speed of the golf ball just after the impact is equal to 53.23 m/s.

A 1,600 kg train car rolling freely on level track at 16 m/s bumps into a 1.0 × 103 kg train car moving at 10.0 m/s in the same
emmainna [20.7K]
This item is solved through the concept of the conservation of momentum which states that the momentum before and after collision should be equal. 
                                   momentum = mass x velocity
            (1,600 kg)(16 m/s) + (1.0x10^3 kg)(10 m/s) = (1600 + 1000 kg)(x)
The value of x is 13.69 m/s. Thus, their final speed is approximately letter D. 14 m/s.

What is the difference between reflection and refraction? What changes and what does not change.
wolverine [178]

Answer:

Reflection involves a change in direction of waves when they bounce off a barrier. Refraction of waves involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another.
