what is the final speed of the incoming ball if it is much more massive than the stationary ball? express your answer using two significant figures. v1 = 200 m / s submitprevious answers correct
 Perfectly elastic collisions means that both mechanical energy and
momentum are conserved.
 Therefore, for this case, we have the equation to find the final velocity of the incoming ball is given by
 v1f = ((m1-m2) / (m1 + m2)) v1i
 where,
 v1i: initial speed of ball 1.
 v1f: final speed of ball 1.
 m1: mass of the ball 1
 m2: mass of the ball 2
 Since the mass of the ball 1 is much larger than the mass of the ball 2 m1 >> m2, then rewriting the equation:
 v1f = ((m1) / (m1) v1i
 v1f = v1i
 v1f = 200 m / s
 answer
 200 m / s
 part b part complete what is the final direction of the incoming ball with respect to the initial direction if it is much more massive than the stationary ball? forward submitprevious answers correct

 Using the equation of part a, we can include in it the directions:
 v1fx = ((m1-m2) / (m1 + m2)) v1ix
 v1i: initial velocity of ball 1 in the direction of the x-axis
 v1f: final speed of ball 1 in the direction of the x-axis
 like m1 >> m2 then
 v1fx = v1ix
 v1fx = 200 m / s (positive x direction)
 So it is concluded that the ball 1 continues forward.
 answer:
 forward


 part c part complete what is the final speed of the stationary ball if the incoming ball is much more massive than the stationary ball ?.
 The shock is perfectly elastic. For this case, we have that the equation to find the final velocity of the stationary ball is given by
 v2f = ((2m1) / (m1 + m2)) v1i
 where,
 v1i: initial speed of ball 1.
 v2f: final speed of ball 2.
 m1: mass of the ball 1
 m2: mass of the ball 2
 Then, as we know that m1 >> m2 then
 v2f = ((2m1) / (m1) v1i
 v2f = 2 * v1i
 v2f = 2 * (200 m / s)
 v2f = 400 m / s
 answer
 400m / s

a) The final speed of the massive incoming ball is \boxed{200\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}}.

b) <u>The direction of the motion of the incoming ball with respect to its initial position is in the forward direction</u>.<u> </u>

c) The final speed of the stationary ball due to the incoming massive ball is \boxed{{\text{400}}\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}}.

Further Explanation:

Given:

The speed of the incoming ball is 200\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}.

The second ball is initially at rest So, its initial velocity is 0\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}.

Concept:

<u>Part (a): </u>

The two bodies moving towards one another when collide elastically; the momentum as well as the mechanical energy of the system remains conserved at the time of collision.

By using the conservation of momentum at the time of collision:

Mu{ & _1}+m{u_2}=M{v_1}+m{v_2}                                …… (1)

Here, M is the mass of the massive ball, m is the mass of lighter ball, {u_1}\,\& \,{u_2} are the initial speeds of the two bodies and {v_1}\,\& \,{v_2} are the final speeds of the bodies.

Substitute the values of {u_1}\,\& \,{u_2} in above expression.

M\times200+m\times0=\left({M\times {v_1}} \right)+\left({m\times{v_2}}\right)

SinceM>> >m, the above expression can be rearranged as:

\begin{aligned}200\times M&=\left(M\right){v_1}\\{v_1}&=200\left({\frac{M}{M}} \right)\\&=200\,{{\text{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\text{m}}{\text{s}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}\\\end{aligned}

Thus, the final speed of the incoming ball at collision is \boxed{200\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}}.

<u>Part (b): </u>

The ball is moving in the forward direction and has no other velocity other than the forward direction. Initially, the ball started in the forward direction and finally it is moving with the speed 200\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}} in the forward direction only.

Therefore, it suggests that the massive ball is moving in forward direction with respect to its initial direction.

<u>Part (c): </u>

In order to obtain the final speed of the smaller ball after the collision, rearrange the equation (1) to obtain the final velocity of the second ball {v_2}.

\begin{aligned}{v_2}&={v_1}\left({\frac{{2M}}{M}}\right)\\&=200\left(2\right)\\&=400\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\text{m}}{\text{s}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}\\\end{aligned}

Thus, the final speed of the smaller ball after collision with the massive ball is \boxed{400\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}} in forward direction.

Please help :/ The same motor is used in rockets with different masses. The rockets have different accelerations. According to N
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

1. As rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The inverse of the mass of the boat.

Explanation:

1. Newton's second law of motion states;

         F = ma

where F is the force applied, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

Therefore, increasing the mass of a rocket increases its weight which would reduce its acceleration provided that the force is constant. Thus, as rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The slope of the graph can be expressed as;

From Newton's second law,

F = ma

Slope = (Δa) ÷ (ΔF)

Slope = \frac{a}{F}

⇒ \frac{1}{m} = \frac{a}{F}

Therefore, the slope of the graph is the reciprocal of the mass of the boat.

Which statement about the volume and pressure of a gas is the most accurate? Volume of a gas is equal to pressure of that gas in
Julli [10]

Answer: Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure of that gas in any container.

Explanation:

Hi, according to Boyle's Gas law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of that gas, at a constant temperature.

The expression is:

P1.V1= P2.V2

V= 1/P

PV = k  

Where:

P = pressure of a gas

V = volume of a gas

k = constant

In a region of space where gravitational forces can be neglected, a sphere is accelerated by a uniform light beam of intensity 8
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

To calculate the acceleration we must use Newton's second law

      F = m a

      a = F / m

To calculate the force we use the defined pressure and the radiation pressure for an absorbent surface

       P = I / c        absorbent surface

       P = F / A

       F / A = I / c

       F = I A / c

The area of ​​area of ​​a circle is

      A = π r²

We replace

     F = I π r² / c

Let's calculate

     F = 8.0 10⁻³ π (1.0 10⁻⁶)²/3 10⁸

     F = 8.375 10⁻²³ N

Density is

      ρ = m / V

      m = ρ V

      m = ρ (4/3 π r³)

      m = 4500 (4/3 π (1 10⁻⁶)³)

      m = 1,885 10⁻¹⁴ kg

Let's calculate the acceleration

     a = 8.375 10⁻²³ / 1.885 10⁻¹⁴

     a = 4.44 10⁻⁹ m/s²               absorbent surface

The correct answer is B
