A 2.5-kg ball and a 5.0-kg ball have an elastic collision. Before the collision, the 2.5-kg ball was at rest and the other ball

had a speed of 3.5 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the 2.5-kg ball after the collision?

The kinetic energy of 2.5 kg ball after collision is 27.09 J.

Answer:

Explanation:

In elastic collision, the sum of momentum of the objects before collision will be equal to the sum of momentum of the objects after collision.  

We know that momentum is the product of mass and velocity acting on any object.

So, the conservation of energy in elastic collision leads to following equation:

M_{1} u_{1} +M_{2} u_{2}=M_{1}  v_{1}+M_{2}  v_{2}

Since, the momentum is conserved ,the kinetic energy will also be conserved in elastic collision. So

M_{1} u_{1} ^{2}+M_{2} u_{2} ^{2}=M_{1}v_{1} ^{2}+  M_{2}v_{2} ^{2}

Since initial velocity for M1 ball is zero, then

M_{2} u_{2}=M_{1}  v_{1}+M_{2}  v_{2}

and

M_{2} u_{2} ^{2}=M_{1}v_{1} ^{2}+  M_{2}v_{2} ^{2}

So, on solving all the above equation, we get an equation for velocity and that is

\frac{2M_{2}u_{2} }{(M_{1}+M_{2}  }=final velocity of ball with mass 2.5 kg

v = \frac{2(5*3.5)}{2.5+5}=4.67 m/s

So kinetic energy will be 1/2 mv2

Kinetic energy of 2.5 kg ball is \frac{1}{2}*2.5*(4.67)^{2}  =27.09 J

So the kinetic energy of 2.5 kg ball after collision is 27.09 J.

Which describes the electric field at the center of a ring of uniform negative charge?.
Bingel [31]

Answer:

A negatively charged particle -q is placed at the center of a uniformly charged ring, where the ring has a total positive charge Q as shown in the following figure. The particle, confined to move along the x axis, is moved a small distance x along the axis ( where x << a) and released. Show that the particle oscillates in simple harmonic motion with a frequency given by,

A 125kg man buy a 6kg watermelon, a 3kg cantaloupe, and 6kgs of potatoes, he walks home with his purchases in a large bag. His w
Stells [14]

Answer:

350N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the man = 125kg

Mass of the watermelon = 6kg

Mass of cantaloupe  = 3kg

Mass of potatoes  = 6kg

Acceleration  = 2.5m/s²  

Unknown:

Force required to get home  = ?

Solution:

To find this force we use;

    Force  = mass x acceleration

mass  = 125 + 6 + 3 + 6  = 140kg

 So;

      Net force = 140 x 2.5  = 350N
