Answer:

a) p₂ = 1.88 kg*m/s

   θ = 273.4 º

b)  Kf = 37% of Ko

Explanation:

a)

  • Assuming no external forces acting during the collision, total momentum must be conserved.
  • Since momentum is a vector, their components (projected along two axes perpendicular each other, x- and y- in this case) must be conserved too.
  • The initial momenta of both particles are directed one along the x-axis, and the other one along the y-axis.
  • So for the particle moving along the positive x-axis, we can write the following equations for its initial momentum:

       p_{o1x} = 2.00 kg*m/s (1)

       p_{o1y} = 0 (2)

  • We can do the same for the particle moving along the positive y-axis:

        p_{o2x} = 0 (3)

        p_{o2y} = 4.00 kg*m/s (4)

  • Now, we know the value of magnitude of the final momentum p1, and the angle that makes with the positive x-axis.
  • Applying the definition of cosine and sine of an angle, we can find the x- and y- components of the final momentum of the first particle, as follows:

       p_{f1x} = 3.00 kg*m/s * cos 45 = 2.12 kg*m/s (5)

      p_{f1y} = 3.00 kg*m/s sin 45 = 2.12 kg*m/s  (6)

  • Now, the total initial momentum, along these directions, must be equal to the total final momentum.
  • We can write the equation for the x- axis as follows:

       p_{o1x} + p_{o2x} = p_{f1x} + p_{f2x}  (7)

  • We know from (3) that p₀₂ₓ = 0, and we have the values of p₀1ₓ from (1) and pf₁ₓ from (5) so we can solve (7) for pf₂ₓ, as follows:

       p_{f2x} = p_{o1x} - p_{f1x} = 2.00kg*m*/s - 2.12 kg*m/s = -0.12 kg*m/s (8)

  • Now, we can repeat exactly the same process for the y- axis, as follows:

       p_{o1y} + p_{o2y} = p_{f1y} + p_{f2y}  (9)

  • We know from (2) that p₀1y = 0, and we have the values of p₀₂y from (4) and pf₁y from (6) so we can solve (9) for pf₂y, as follows:

       p_{f2y} = p_{o1y} - p_{f1y} = 4.00kg*m*/s - 2.12 kg*m/s = 1.88 kg*m/s (10)

  • Since we have the x- and y- components of the final momentum of  the second particle, we can find its magnitude applying the Pythagorean Theorem, as follows:

       p_{f2} = \sqrt{p_{f2x} ^{2} + p_{f2y} ^{2} }  = \sqrt{(-0.12m/s)^{2} +(1.88m/s)^{2}} = 1.88 kg*m/s (11)

  • We can find the angle that this vector makes with the positive x- axis, applying the definition of tangent of an angle, as follows:

       tg \theta = \frac{p_{2fy} }{p_{2fx} } = \frac{1.88m/s}{(-0.12m/s} = -15.7 (12)

  • The angle that we are looking for is just the arc tg of (12) which measured in a counter-clockwise direction from the positive x- axis, is just 273.4º.

b)

  • Assuming that both masses are equal each other, we find that the momenta are proportional to the speeds, so we find that the relationship from the final kinetic energy and the initial one can be expressed as follows:

       \frac{K_{f}}{K_{o} } = \frac{v_{f1}^{2} + v_{f2} ^{2}}{v_{o1}^{2} + v_{o2} ^{2} } = \frac{12.5}{20} = 0.63 (13)

  • So, the final kinetic energy has lost a 37% of the initial one.

A machine gun fires 50-g bullets at the rate of 4 bullets per second. The bullets leave the gun at a speed of 1000 m/s. What is
TEA [102]

Answer:

Average recoil force experienced by machine will be 200 N

Explanation:

We have give mass of each bullet m = 50 gram = 0.05 kg

There are 4 bullets

So mass of 4 bullets = 4×0.05 = 0.2 kg

Initial speed of the bullet u = 0 m/sec

And final speed of the bullet v = 1000 m/sec

So change in momentum P=m(v-u)=0.2\times (1000-0)=200kgm/sec

Time is given per second so t = 1 sec

We know that force is equal to rate of change of momentum

So force will be equal to F=\frac{200}{1}=200N

So average recoil force experienced by machine will be 200 N

Based on illustrations of magnetic field lines, where could an object be placed so it would not experience a magnetic force
tiny-mole [99]

<u>Halfway</u><u> between the like poles of two magnets, because the field lines bend away and do not enter this area.</u>

How does a magnetic field diagram show where the field is strongest?

  • The magnetic field lines do not ever cross.
  • The lines include arrowheads to indicate the direction of the force exerted by a magnetic north pole.
  • The closer the lines are to the poles, the stronger the magnetic field (thus the magnetic field from a bar magnet is highest closest to the poles).

Where is magnetic field the strongest and weakest on a magnet?

  • The bar magnet's magnetic field is strongest at its core and weakest between its two poles.
  • The magnetic field lines are densest immediately outside the bar magnet and least dense in the core.

Which two locations on the magnet would have the greatest attractive forces?

  • Inside the magnet itself, the field lines run from the south pole to the north pole.
  • The magnetic field is strongest in areas of greatest density of magnetic field lines, or areas of the greatest magnetic flux density.

Two polarizers A and B are aligned so that their transmission axes are vertical and horizontal, respectively. A third polarizer
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the angle between the first polariser and the second polariser axis is θ.

By using of law of Malus

(a)

Let the intensity of light coming out from the first polariser is I'

I' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta     .... (1)

Now the angle between the transmission axis of the second and the third polariser is 90 - θ. Let the intensity of light coming out from the third polariser is I''.

By the law of Malus

I'' = I'Cos^{2}\left ( 90-\theta \right )

So,

I'' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta Cos^{2}\left ( 90-\theta \right )

I'' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta Sin^{2}\theta

I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{4}Sin^{2}2\theta

(b)

Now differentiate with respect to θ.

I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{4}\times 2 \times 2 \times Sin2\theta \times Cos 2\theta

I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{2}\times Sin 4\theta

The Earth’s radius is 6378.1 kilometers. If you were standing at the equator, you are essentially undergoing uniform circular mo
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

b. 84 minutes

Explanation:

a_c=g = Centripetal acceleration = 9.81 m/s²

r = Radius of Earth = 6378.1 km

v = Velocity

Centripetal acceleration is given by

a_c=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{a_cr}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{9.81\times 6378100}\\\Rightarrow v=7910.06706\ m/s

Time period is given by

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v60}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{2\pi 6378.1\times 10^3}{7910.06706\times 60}\\\Rightarrow T=84.43835\ minutes

The time period of Earth’s rotation would be 84.43835 minutes
