Answer:

The size of the force that pushes the wall is 12,250 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the wrecking ball, m = 1500 kg

speed of the wrecking ball, v = 3.5 m/s

distance the ball moved the wall, d = 75 cm = 0.75 m

Apply the principle of work-energy theorem;

Kinetic energy of the wrecking ball = work done by the ball on the wall

¹/₂mv² = F x d

where;

F is the size of the force that pushes the wall

¹/₂mv² = F x d

¹/₂ x 1500 x 3.5² = F x 0.75

9187.5 = 0.75F

F = 9187.5 / 0.75

F = 12,250 N

Therefore, the size of the force that pushes the wall is 12,250 N.

A billiard ball of mass m moving with speed v1=1 m/s collides head-on with a second ball of mass 2m which is at rest. What is th
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The velocity of mass 2m is  v_B = 0.67 m/s

Explanation:

From the question w are told that

     The mass of the billiard ball A is =m

     The initial speed  of the billiard ball A = v_1 =1 m/s

    The mass of the billiard ball B is = 2 m

    The initial speed  of the billiard ball  B = 0

Let the final speed  of the billiard ball A  = v_A

Let The finial speed  of the billiard ball  B = v_B

      According to the law of conservation of Energy

                 \frac{1}{2} m (v_1)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (0) ^ 2 = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2

              Substituting values  

                \frac{1}{2} m (1)^2  = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2

Multiplying through by \frac{1}{2}m

                1 =v_A^2 + 2 v_B ^2 ---(1)

    According to the law of conservation of Momentum

            mv_1 + 2m(0) = mv_A + 2m v_B

    Substituting values

            m(1)  = mv_A + 2mv_B

Multiplying through by m

           1 = v_A + 2v_B ---(2)

making v_A subject of the equation 2

            v_A = 1 - 2v_B

Substituting this into equation 1

         (1 -2v_B)^2 + 2v_B^2 = 1

         1 - 4v_B + 4v_B^2 + 2v_B^2 =1

          6v_B^2  -4v_B +1 =1

          6v_B^2 -4v_B =0

Multiplying through by \frac{1}{v_B}

          6v_B -4 = 0

            v_B = \frac{4}{6}

            v_B = 0.67 m/s
