Two objects of the same mass travel in opposite directions along a horizontal surface. Object X has a speed of 5ms and object Y

has a speed of 5ms, as shown in the figure. After a period of time, object X collides with object Y. In scenario 1, the objects stick together after the collision. In scenario 2, the objects do not stick together after the collision.
Which of the following claims is true regarding how the outcome of scenario 1 is different from the outcome of scenario 2?

Since both objects are travelling in opposite directions at the same speed but eventually colliding with each other hence it is obvious that they are travelling in a circle.

Now, this question is regarding the conversation of momentum - elastic / in elastic collision.

Assuming the balls are in a closed system(an assumption that is consistent in your syllabus,unless stated otherwise)as the ball collides, momentum is conserved but some of the energy might be lost due to the collision either through heat / sound.

Summary:

3 types of collision.

1st type: Elastic collision
- No loss in Kinetic Energy
- No loss in momentum
- Balls do not stick together
Example: Bouncing Basketball, the ball comes back to your hand at the same height.

2nd type: Inelastic collision
- Loss in kinetic energy, (heat energy when in contact)
- No loss in momentum
- Balls do not stick together
Example: Bomb explosion.

3rd type: Perfectly Inelastic collision
- Maximum amount of KE is loss
- No loss in momentum
- Balls stick together
Example: Ballistic Pendulum

A skater goes into a spin with her arms pulled in (close to her body). When she stretches her arms out: A) her angular speed ω d
musickatia [10]

Answer:

When she stretches her arms out,<em> B) her angular speed ω increases due to her moment of inertia decreasing</em>

Explanation:

The angular momentum of a rotating object is defined as the product of its moment of inertia and angular speed.

<em>L = I ω</em>

<em>where</em>

  • <em>L is the angular momentum</em>
  • <em>I is the moment of inertia</em>
  • <em>ω is the angular speed</em>

<em />

According to the principle of conservation of angular momentum, if there is no external torque, angular momentum of the skater must remain conserved. If the initial and final moment of inertia is <em>I_i and I_f  </em>while corresponding angular velocities are <em>ω_i and ω_f , </em>then the principle of conservation of angular momentum can be expressed as the following equation:

<em>(I_f) (ω_f) = (I_i) (ω_i)</em>

<em>ω_f / ω_i = I_i / I_f</em>

<em />

From the expression above, we can see that if the moment of inertia decreases, angular velocity would increase to conserve angular momentum of the skater.

Therefore, When she stretches her arms out,<em> her angular speed ω increases due to her moment of inertia decreasing.</em>

A 9500 kg boxcar traveling at 14 m/s strikes a stationary second car. The two stick together and move off with a speed of 6.0 m/
jasenka [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of the second car is 12666.7 kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the mass of car, we use the equation of law of conservation of momentum, which is:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v

where,

m_1 = mass of car 1 = 9500 kg

u_1 = Initial velocity of car 1 = 14 m/s

m_2 = mass of car 2 = ? kg

u_2 = Initial velocity of car 2 = 0 m/s

v = Final velocity = 6.0 m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

(9500\times 14)+(m_2\times 0)=(9500+m_2)6.0\\\\m_2=\frac{9500\times 14}{6}-9500=12666.7kg

Hence, the mass of the second car is 12666.7 kg

A spherically symmetric charge distribution has a charge density given by ρ = a/r , where a is constant. Find the electric field
Airida [17]
Charge dQ on a shell thickness dr is given by 

dQ = (charge density) × (surface area) × dr 

dQ = ρ(r)4πr²dr 

∫ dQ = ∫ (a/r)4πr²dr 

∫ dQ = 4πa ∫ rdr 

Q(r) = 2πar² - 2πa0² 

Q = 2πar² (= total charge bound by a spherical surface of radius r) 

Gauss's Law states: 

(Flux out of surface) = (charge bound by surface)/ε۪ 

(Surface area of sphere) × E = Q/ε۪ 

4πr²E = 2πar²/ε۪ 

<span>E = a/2ε۪
