A .5 kg air puck moves to the right at 3 m/s, colliding with a 1.5kg air puck that is moving to the left at 1.5 m/s.

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total momentum of the system before the collision

.5 x 3 - 1.5 x 1.5 = -0.75 kg m/s towards the left

If v be the velocity of the stuck pucks

momentum after the collision = 2 v

Applying conservation of momentum

2 v = - .75

v = - .375 m /s

Let after the collision v be the velocity of .5 kg puck

total momentum after the collision

.5 v + 1.5 x .231 = .5v +.3465

Applying conservation of momentum law

.5 v +.3465 = - .75

v = - 2.193 m/s

2 ) To verify whether the collision is elastic or not , we verify whether the kinetic energy is conserved or not.

Kinetic energy before the collision

= 2.25 + 1.6875

=3.9375 J

kinetic energy after the collision

= .04 + 1.2 =1.24 J

So kinetic energy is not conserved . Hence collision is not elastic.

3 ) Change in the momentum of .5 kg

1.5 - (-1.0965 )

= 2.5965

Average force applied = change in momentum / time

= 2.5965 / 25 x 10⁻³

= 103.86 N

The distance between two charges a and b is r, and the force between them is F. What is the force between them if the distancbet

Nadusha1986 [10]

See coulomb's law. Force is inversely proportional to the distance squared. So if you multiply r by 2, the force is multiplied by (½)² = ¼.

An extension cord is used with an electric weed trimmer that has a resistance of 17.9 Ω. The extension cord is made of copper (r

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

(a) $R_{c}=0.87ohms$

(b) $V_{T}=114.44V$

Explanation:

Part (a)

The total length of copper cord L=86.3 m

The cross sectional area A=1.71×10⁻⁶m²

The resistivity of copper p=1.72×10⁻⁸Ω

Thus the resistance of extension cord is

$R_{c}=p\frac{L}{A}\\R_{c}=(1.72*10^{-8} )\frac{86.3}{1.71*10^{-6}}\\R_{c}=0.87ohms$

Part (b)

The resistance of trimmer Rt=17.9 ohms

When voltage of 120V is applied then the current I is passing through series circuit is

$I=\frac{120V}{R_{c} +R_{T} }\\I=\frac{120V}{0.87 +17.9 } \\I=6.4A$

Thus the voltage across the trimmer is:

$V_{T}=IR_{T}\\V_{T}=(6.4)*(17.9)\\V_{T}=114.44V$

platform diving in the olympic games takes place at two heights: 5 meters and 10 meters. What is the velocity of a diver enterin

posledela

1) Velocity: 9.9 m/s and 14 m/s

The motion of the diver is a free-fall motion, so it is a uniform accelerated motion. Choosing downward as positive direction, the final velocity can be found by using the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the diver starts from rest)

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

s is the displacement

For the diver jumping from 5 m, s = 5 m, so

$v=\sqrt{2as}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(5)}=9.9 m/s$

For the diver jumping from 10 m, s = 10 m, so

$v=\sqrt{2as}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(10)}=14 m/s$

2) Time: 1.01 s and 1.43 s

The time of flight of each diver can be found by using the other suvat equation

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

And since u = 0, it can be reduced to

$s=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

For the diver jumping from 5 m, s = 5 m, so we find

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(5)}{9.8}}=1.01 s$

For the diver jumping from 10 m, s = 10 m, so we find

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(10)}{9.8}}=1.43 s$
