Answer:

Explanation:

As B has a y component of -5, A must have a y component of 5 to have the result lie on the x axis.

As B has an x component of 3 and the result has an x component of -4, A must have an x component of -7

A = (-7, 5)

magnitude A = √(7² + 5²) = √74  ≈ 8.60

θ = arctan(y/x) = arctan(5/-7) ≈ 144.46° CCW from the positive x axis

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

B. Ball Y will travel at a speed less than 5 m/s in the opposite direction of travel as before the collision.

Explanation:

Impulse created by ball Y  on ball X = 40 x 1/6 Ns

Ball X will also create impulse 40 / 6 on ball Y .

impulse = change in momentum .

impulse in Y = change in momentum in Y .

Initial momentum of Y  = .5 x 5 = 2.5

Let final velocity of Y after collision be v  in opposite direction .

change in momentum of Y = v - (-2.5 )

so,

v + 2.5 = 40 / 6 =  6.67

v =  4.17 m / s .

Option B is correct .

B. Ball Y will travel at a speed less than 5 m/s in the opposite direction of travel as before the collision.

When a potential difference of 10 V is placed across a certain solid cylindrical resistor, the current through it is 2 A. If the
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

New Resistance = 0.5556 ohm

Explanation:

Resistance = resistivity * length /area

Here since resistivity and length are constant, we only need to see how the resistance increases or decreases with change in area.

New Area = pi * (3*D)^2 / 4

Old Area = pi * D^2 / 4

The ratio of new area / old area is :

\frac{New Area}{Old Area} = 9

Since area increases 9 times, and it is inversely proportional to resistance:

Resistance decreases by 9 times.

So, old resistance = Voltage / Current = 10 / 2 = 5 ohm

New Resistance = 5 / 9 = 0.5556 ohm    (decreases by 9 times)

First, figure out what the angular speed of the merry-go-around is.

v ϖ = Using the formula for linear speed Since the angular speed is constant, there is no angular acceleration. Tangential acceleration is t a Radial acceleration is r a Thus the total acceleration is a = rω =1.2m×1.6rad / s =1.9m/ s = rα =1.2m×0rad / s2 = 0m/ s2 =rϖ2 =1.2m×(1.6rad / s)2 =3.1m/ s2 2 2 t r = a +a = 0+(3.1)2 =3.1m/ s2 1 4.0 rev
