A softball of mass 0.220 kg that is moving with a speed of 5.5 m/s (in the positive direction) collides head-on and elastically
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The velocity and mass of the target ball are 1.6 m/s and 1.29 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of softball = 0.220 kg

Speed = 5.5 m/s

(a). We need to calculate the velocity of the target ball

Using conservation of momentum

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}

0.220\times5.5+m_{2}\times0=0.220\times(-3.9)+m_{2}v_{2}

1.21=-0.858+m_{2}v_{2}

m_{2}v_{2}=2.068....(I)

The velocity approach is equal to the separation of velocity

u_{1}-u_{2}=v_{2}-v_{1}

5.5-0=v_{2}-(-3.9)

v_{2}=1.6\ m/s

(b). We need to calculate the mass of the target ball

Now, Put the value of v₂ in equation (I)

m_{2}\times1.6=2.068

m_{2}=\dfrac{2.068}{1.6}

m_{2}=1.29\ kg

Hence, The velocity and mass of the target ball are 1.6 m/s and 1.29 kg.

A flat (unbanked) curve on a highway has a radius of 240.0 m m . A car rounds the curve at a speed of 26.0 m/s m/s . Part A What
Grace [21]

Answer:

a) u_s=0.375

b )v=14.4 m/s

Explanation:

1 Concepts and Principles

Particle in Equilibrium: If a particle maintains a constant velocity (so that a = 0), which could include a velocity of zero, the forces on the particle balance and Newton's second law reduces to:  

∑F=0                 (1)

2- Particle in Uniform Circular Motion:

If a particle moves in a circle or a circular arc of radius Rat constant speed v, the particle is said to be in uniform circular motion. It then experiences a net centripetal force F and a centripetal acceleration a_c. The magnitude of this force is:

F=ma_c

 =m*v^2/R            (2)

where m is the mass of the particle F and a_c are directed toward the center of curvature of the particle's path.  

<em>3- The magnitude of the static frictional force between a static object and a surface is given by:</em>  

f_s=u_s*n              (3)

where u_s is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the surface and n is the magnitude of the normal force.  

Given Data

R (radius of the car's path) = 170 m

v (speed of the car) = 25 m/s  

Required Data

- In part (a), we are asked to find the coefficient of static friction u_s that will prevent the car from sliding.  

- In part (b), we are asked to find the speed of the car v if the coefficient of static friction is one-third u_s found in part (a).  

Solution:

see the attachment pic

Since the car is not accelerating vertically, we can model it as a particle in equilibrium in the vertical direction and apply Equation (1)

∑F_y=n-mg

       = mg               (4)  

We model the car as a particle in uniform circular motion in the horizontal direction. The force that enables the car to remain in its circular path is the force of static friction at the point of contact between road and tires. Apply Equation (2) to the horizontal direction:

∑F_x=f_s

       =m*v^2/R

Substitute for f_s from Equation (3):  

u_s=m*v^2/R

Substitute for n from Equation (4):  

u_s*mg=m*v^2/R

  u_s*g = v^2/R

Solve for u_s:

u_s=  v^2/Rg                          (5)

Substitute numerical values:  

u_s=0.375

(b)  

The new coefficient of static friction between the tires and the pavement is:

u_s'=u_s/3

Substitute u_s/3 for u_s in Equation (5):

u_s/3=v^2/Rg  

Solve for v:  

v=14.4 m/s

Which of the following can fix nitrogen?
aleksklad [387]
Two kinds of nitrogen fixers are recognized: free-living (non-symbiotic<span>) bacteria, including the cyanobacteria (or blue-green algae) Anabaena and Nostoc and such genera as Azotobacter, Beijerinckia, and Clostridium; and mutualistic (symbiotic) bacteria such as Rhizobium, associated with leguminous plants, and Spirillum </span>

An electron in a tv picture tube is accelerated through a potential difference of 10 kv before it hits the screen. What is the k
fomenos

Answer:

10,000 eV

Explanation:

Due to the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy of the electron at the end of its path is equal to its initial electric potential energy, given by:

U=q\Delta V

where

q is the electron charge

\Delta V is the potential difference

Here we have:

q=1 e is the electron's charged

\Delta V=10 kV=10,000 V is the potential difference

Substituting into the formula, we have

U=(1e)(10,000 V)=10,000 eV

How does the energy of a system change during a phase change?
lianna [129]

Answer:

They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. ... At the moment of melting the average kinetic energy of the molecules does not change.
