A steel ball of mass 50 g is rolled from the left toward a ball of lead of mass 500 g. The steel ball is traveling with a veloci

ty of 5 m/s. If no external forces act on either of the interacting bodies, then what will be the direction of the momentum of the steel ball after the head-on collision?
A) from left to right as it started off
B) from right to left, making a 180° reversal
C) at an angle of 90° to the initial direction of motion
D) at an angle of 270° to the initial direction of motion

Answer: It's hard to say without characterizing the collision. But it will be either A if the collision is totally in-elastic, or B if the collision is totally elastic. It could be anywhere in between for partially elastic collisions.

Explanation:

momentum is conserved, so initial system momentum will be left to right.

The velocity of the center of mass is 50(5) / 550 = 0.4545... m/s

In an elastic collision, the lead ball will move off at twice that speed or 0.91 m/s to the right.

The steel ball will bounce back and move away at 0.91 - 5 = -4.1 m/s . The negative sign indicates the steel ball has reversed course and has negative momentum

In a totally in-elastic collision, both balls would move to the right at 0.45 m/s. The steel ball will still have positive momentum.

How could you test the hypothesis that elephants interpreted the ground signal as being farther away than the air signal?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

Explanation:

This hypothesis is based on the fact that the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m / s with a small variation with temperature.

The speed of sound in solid soil is an average of the speed of its constituent media, giving values ​​between

 wood      3900 m / s

 concrete 4000 m / s

 fabrics     1540 m / s

 earth       5000 m / s wave S

 ground    7000 m / s P wave

 

we can see that the speed on solid earth is an order of magnitude greater than in air.

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

From the initial information, the wave going through the ground should arrive first.
