Answer:
The tension in the rope is 262.88 N
Explanation:
Given:
Weight 
N
Length of rope 
m
Initial speed of ball 
For finding the tension in the rope,
First find the mass of rod,
( 
)
kg
Tension in the rope is,
N
Therefore, the tension in the rope is 262.88 N
2.5 miles an hour but yea hope that helps
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.
