Maybe you can split up the questions. I will try to answer your first question.
1. In an elastic collision, momentum is conserved. The momentum before the collision is equal to the momentum after the collision. This is a consequence of Newton's 3rd law. (Action = Reaction)
2. Momentum: p = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
m₁ mass of ball A
v₁ velocity of ball A
m₂ mass of ball B
v₂ velocity of ball B
Momentum before the collision:
p = 2*9 + 3*(-6) = 18 - 18 = 0
Momentum after the collision:
p = 2*(-9) + 3*6 = -18 + 18 = 0
3: mv + m(-v) = m(-v) + m(v)
the velocities would reverse.
4.This question is not factual since the energy of an elastic collision must also be conserved. The final velocities should be: v₁ = -1 m/s and v₂ = 5 m/s. That said assuming the given velocities were correct:
before collision
p = 10*3 + 5*(-3) = 30 - 15 = 15
after collision:
p = 10*(-2) + 5 * v₂ = 15
v₂ = 7
5.You figure out.
It would be: Activation Energy = 300 KJ
Hope this helps!
Answer:
is reflected back into the region of higher index
Explanation:
Total internal reflection is a phenomenon that occurs when all the light passing from a region of higher index of refraction to a region of lower index is reflected back into the region of higher index.
According to Snell's law, refraction of ligth is described by the equation

where
n1 is the refractive index of the first medium
n2 is the refractive index of the second medium
is the angle of incidence (in the first medium)
is the angle of refraction (in the second medium)
Let's now consider a situation in which

so light is moving from a medium with higher index to a medium with lower index. We can re-write the equation as

Where
is a number greater than 1. This means that above a certain value of the angle of incidence
, the term on the right can become greater than 1. So this would mean

But this is not possible (the sine cannot be larger than 1), so no refraction occurs in this case, and all the light is reflected back into the initial medium (total internal reflection). The value of the angle of incidence above which this phenomen occurs is called critical angle, and it is given by
