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 $\frac{1}{v_B}$

$6v_B -4 = 0$

$v_B = \frac{4}{6}$

$v_B = 0.67 m/s$

Starting from rest, a particle that is confined to move along a straight line is accelerated at a rate of 5.0 m/s2. Which one of

Elanso [62]

Answer:

c) The slope is not constant and increases with increasing time.

Explanation:

The equation for the position of this particle (starting from rest is)

$s = at^2/2 = 5t^2/2 = 2.5t^2$

We can take derivative of this with respect to time t to get the equation of slope:

$s' = (2.5t^2)' = 2*2.5t = 5t$

As time t increase, the slope would increases with time as well.

Two parakeets sit on a swing with their combined center of mass 10.0 cm below the pivot. At what frequency do they swing?

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

1.58 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of the simple pendulum is given by

f = 1/T

= 1/2π√g/l

In this problem, I = 10.0 cm = 0.1 m

f = 1/2π√9.8/0.1

= 1.58 Hz
