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.

What are the messing forces that would make the object be in equilibrium?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A) 20 N, B) 20 N, & C) 8 N

Explanation:

For the object to be in equilibrium, the upward forces must be equal to the downward forces and the forward forces must be equal to the backward forces.

1. Determination of A and B.

Forward forces = Backward forces

A + 10 + B = 25 + 25

A + 10 + B = 50

Collect like terms

A + B = 50 – 10

A + B = 40

Assume A and B to be equal. Thus, A is 20 N and B is 20 N.

2. Determination of C

Upward forces = Downward forces

C + 112 = 20 + 100

C + 112 = 120

Collect like terms

C = 120 – 112

C = 8 N

Thus, for the object to be in equilibrium, A must be 20 N, B must be 20 N and C must be 8N.

What is the triboelectric effect?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The triboelectric effect is an electrical phenomenon where certain materials become electrically charged after coming into contact with another, different, material. The polarity and strength of the charges produced differ according to material and surface smoothness.

Explanation:

The triboelectric effect causes an electrostatic charge to build up on the fur due to the cat's motions. The electric field of the charges results in a slight attraction of the light plastic pieces to the charged fur. The triboelectric effect is also the cause of static cling in clothes.

I hope this helps, if it doesn't then just message me and ill be more than happy to help :)
