Two sticky spheres are suspended from light ropes of length LL that are attached to the ceiling at a common point. Sphere AA has

mass 2mm and is hanging at rest with its rope vertical. Sphere BB has mass mm and is held so that its rope makes an angle with the vertical that puts BB a vertical height HH above AA. Sphere BB is released from rest and swings down, collides with sphere AA, and sticks to it.
In terms of H,H, what is the maximum height above the original position of A reached by the combined spheres after their collision?

Answer:

  h’ = 1/9 h

Explanation:

This exercise must be solved in parts:

* Let's start by finding the speed of sphere B at the lowest point, let's use the concepts of conservation of energy

starting point. Higher

         Em₀ = U = m g h

final point. Lower, just before the crash

         Em_f = K = ½ m v_{b}^2

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_f

         m g h = ½ m v²

         v_b = \sqrt{2gh}

* Now let's analyze the collision of the two spheres. We form a system formed by the two spheres, therefore the forces during the collision are internal and the moment is conserved

initial instant. Just before the crash

         p₀ = 2m 0 + m v_b

final instant. Right after the crash

         p_f = (2m + m) v

       

the moment is preserved

         p₀ = p_f

         m v_b = 3m v

         v = v_b / 3

         

          v = ⅓ \sqrt{2gh}

* finally we analyze the movement after the crash. Let's use the conservation of energy to the system formed by the two spheres stuck together

Starting point. Lower

          Em₀ = K = ½ 3m v²

Final point. Higher

          Em_f = U = (3m) g h'

          Em₀ = Em_f

          ½ 3m v² = 3m g h’

           

we substitute

         h’=  \frac{v^2}{2g}

         h’ =  \frac{1}{3^2} \  \frac{ 2gh}{2g}

         h’ = 1/9 h

What can always be said about a negatively-charged ion?
KiRa [710]

Answer: A negatively-charged ion always has more electrons than protons

Explanation:

First, we know that the elementary negative charge is the electron, while the positive one is the proton. Such that both have the same charge in magnitude, but a different sign. Such that if we have the same number of electrons and protons in an atom, the charge of this atom will be neutral.

And an ion is an atom with a different number of electrons and protons, so the charge of the atom is not neutral.

Then if we have a negatively-charged ion, the charge of this atom is negative. Then we must have a larger number of electrons (the negative ones) than protons (the positive ones)

Then the correct option is:

A negatively-charged ion always has more electrons than protons

Why is it incorrect to say that astronauts are weightlesS in space while orbiting Earth in a space shuttle?​
Mamont248 [21]

This is because Gravity exists everywhere in the universe.

<h3>What is Gravity?</h3>

This is the force of attraction which acts on all matters in the universe. Astronauts appear weightless while in orbiting the Earth because the space shuttle and the astronauts are in free fall around it.

They fall at the same rate as the space shuttle which is why the astronauts appear weightless.

A cylinder of diameter 100 mm rolls from restdown a 5 m long ramp and its center of mass is moving with velocity 2 m/s at the bo
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

(a): a = 0.4m/s²

(b): α = 8 radians/s²

Explanation:

First we propose an equation to determine the linear acceleration and an equation to determine the space traveled in the ramp (5m):

a= (Vf-Vi)/t = (2m/s)/t

a: linear acceleration.

Vf: speed at the end of the ramp.

Vi: speed at the beginning of the ramp (zero).

d= (1/2)×a×t² = 5m

d: distance of the ramp (5m).

We replace the first equation in the second to determine the travel time on the ramp:

d = 5m = (1/2)×( (2m/s)/t)×t² = (1m/s)×t ⇒ t = 5s

And the linear acceleration will be:

a = (2m/s)/5s = 0.4m/s²

Now we determine the perimeter of the cylinder to know the linear distance traveled on the ramp in a revolution:

perimeter = π×diameter = π×0.1m = 0.3142m

To determine the angular acceleration we divide the linear acceleration by the radius of the cylinder:

α = (0.4m/s²)/(0.05m) = 8 radians/s²

α: angular aceleration.

A radar operates at a wavelength of 3 centimeters. what is the frequency of the these waves? the speed of light is 3 × 108 m/s .
aliya0001 [1]
We are given information:
λ = wavelength = 3cm = 0.03m \\ &#10;c = speed of light =  3* 10^{8}m/s

Formula that connects wavelength and frequency is:
frequency= \frac{speed of light}{wavelength} \\ f= \frac{3* 10^{8}}{0.03} \\ f=1 * 10^{10} Hz = 10GHz

In a circus performance, a monkey on a sled is given an initial speed of 4.3 m/s up a 24◦ incline. The combined mass of the monk
Serggg [28]

Answer:

d = 1.15 m

Explanation:

  • In absence of friction, the change in kinetic energy of the combined mass of the monkey and the sled, must be equal (with opposite sign), to the change in gravitational potential energy:

        ΔK = -ΔU

  • When friction is not negligible, the change in mechanical energy, must be equal to the work done by non-conservative forces (kinetic friction in this case):

       ΔK + ΔU = Wnc (1)

  • As the monkey + sled reach to the maximum distance up the incline, they will come momentarily to a stop, so the final kinetic energy is 0.

        (K_{f} -K_{o}) = 0 - \frac{1}{2} * m*v_{o} ^{2} = -\frac{1}{2} *22.5kg*(4.3m/s)^{2} = -208.1J

  • The change in gravitational energy, can be written as follows:

        (U_{f} - U_{o} ) = m*g*h - 0 = m*g*h = \\ \\ 22.5 kg*9.8 m/s2*d*sin (24 deg) = 89.7J*d

  • The sum of these two quantities, must be equal to the work done by the friction force, along the distance d up the incline:

        W_{nc} = -\mu k*N*d

  • The normal force, always normal to the surface, must be equal and opposite to the component of the weight normal to the incline:

        N = m*g*cos \theta = m*g*cos (24 deg) = \\ \\ 22.5 kg*9.8m/s2*0.913 = 201.4 N

  • Replacing in the equation for Wnc:

        W_{nc} = -\mu k*N*d = -0.45*201.4 N*d = -90.6 N*d

  • We can return to the equation (1) and solve for d:

        -208.1 J + 89.7N*d = -90.6N*d\\\\  d = \frac{208.1}{180.3} =1.15 m
