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.

A(n) 30 kg boy rides a roller coaster. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . With what force does he press against the seat
forsale [732]

Answer:

Force, F = 187.42 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of boy, m = 30 kg

Acceleration due to gravity, a=9.8\ m/s^2

Radius of curvature of the roller coaster, r = 15 m

Speed of the car, v = 7.3 m/s

The force acting on the boy are force of gravity and the centripetal force. The net force acting on him is as follows :

F=mg-\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

F=m(g-\dfrac{v^2}{r})

F=30\times (9.8-\dfrac{(7.3)^2}{15})

F = 187.42 N

So, he press against the seat with a force is 187.42 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

What of the following is the mathematical form of boyles law?
viva [34]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

V=1/p

By means of cross multiplication so by that we will have pv=1 which also implies p1v1=p2v2 coz boyles law states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to pressure provided that the temperature in kelvin remains constant
