Answer: The final speed of the incoming ball is approximately 200m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum.

m1(u1) + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

And also law of conservation of kinetic energy for elastic heads on collision we can derive the formula for elastic heads on collision which is given below:

For elastic heads on collision.

v1 = [( m1 - m2)/(m1+m2)] u1 ......1

v2 = [(2m1)/(m1+m2)]u1 ......2

Where,

m1 and m2 are the mass of the incoming and stationary ball respectively.

u1 and u2 are the initial speed of the incoming and stationary ball respectively.

v1 and v2 are the final speed of the incoming and stationary ball respectively.

a) to determine the final speed of the incoming ball using equation 1

v1 = [( m1 - m2)/(m1+m2)]u1

Since m1 >> m2

m1 - m2 ~= m1 and m1 +m2 ~= m1

So, equation 1 becomes

v1 ~= [m1/m1]u1

v1 ~= u1

Since u1 = 200m/s

v1 ~= 200m/s

Additional tips: using equation 2 we can derive the approximate final speed of the stationary ball following the same assumptions. If well solved v2 = 2u1 = 400m/s

It has to be D because the arrow will drop as it moves, if it were a gun, you'd lead the target so fire below it, but due to it being an arrow, you aim high not low. Also, they didnt specify how fast anything is, so you'd probably miss if you actually did it.

A bus with a vertical wind shield moves horizontally
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

(3) 53°

Explanation:

We want to measure the angle that the rains form with the vertical wind shield, so we have to measure the angle relative to the vertical. This means that we can write the following equation

tan \theta = \frac{v_x}{v_y}

where

v_y = 30 km/h is the speed of the rain, which travels vertically

v_x = 40 km/h is the speed of the bus, which travels horizontally

Substituting, we find

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{40}{30})=53^{\circ}

What is the force of gravitational attraction between an object with a mass of 100 kg and another object that has a mass of 300
Leokris [45]

Answer:

5 x 10⁻⁷N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of object 1  = 100kg

Mass of object 2 = 300kg

Distance  = 2m

Unknown:

Force of gravitational attraction between the objects  = ?

Solution:

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the gravitational force between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

From Newton's law of universal gravitation we derive an expression:

       Fg  =  \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}  }{r^{2} }

G is the universal gravitation constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹

m is the mass

r is the distance between the bodies

Now insert the parameters and solve;

    Fg  = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x \frac{100 x 300}{2^{2} }    = 5 x 10⁻⁷N
