Conservation of Momentum

Physics
1 answer:
aksik [14]3 years ago
3 0

Hi there!

This collision is an example of an inelastic collision since kinetic energy is lost from the collision.

We can represent this using the conservation of momentum formula:

m1v1 + m2v1 = m1vf + m2vf

Where:

m1 = blue ball

m2 = green ball

We know that the final velocity of the blue ball is 0, so:

m1v1 + m2v1 = m2vf

Rearrange to solve for the speed of the green ball:

(m1v1 + m2v1)/m2 = vf

Plug in given values:

((0.15 · 3) + (0.15 · 2)) / 0.15 = 5 m/s

If you see a lightning stroke and then, 15 seconds later, hear the thunder, the lightning is about ____ miles away
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

3.2 miles

Explanation:

We can assume that the light coming from the lightning reach instantaneously our eyes (because light travels very fast, 3\cdot 10^8 m/s), so the time between the lightining and the hearing of the thunder is equal to the time that sound takes to each us.

Sound travels in air approximately at speed

v = 343 m/s

So the distance it covers in a time of t = 15 seconds is

d=vt=(3403 m/s)(15 s)=5145 m

And using the conversion from meters to miles,

1 mile = 1609 meters

we find

d=\frac{5145 m}{1609 m/miles} = 3.2 miles

A railroad car of mass M moving at a speed v1 collides and couples with two coupled railroad cars, each of the same mass M and m
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of each railroad is M

first railroad is moving with velocity v_1 and other two's with v_2

conserving Momentum

Mv_1+2Mv_2=3M v_f

where v_f is the final velocity of combined system

v_f=\frac{v_1+2v_2}{3}

(b)Initial Kinetic Energy

=\frac{1}{2}Mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}2Mv_2^2

=\frac{1}{2}Mv_1^2+Mv_2^2

Final Kinetic Energy

=\frac{1}{2}3Mv_f^2=\frac{1}{6}M(v_1^2+4v_2^{2}+4v_{1}v_2)

Loss in Kinetic Energy

=\frac{1}{2}Mv_1^2+Mv_2^2-\frac{1}{6}M(v_1^2+4v_2^{2}+4v_{1}v_2)

=M(v_1-v_2^2)^2

Sam noticed every time she rolled a ball on a flat surface it did not stop unless she applied a force on it. This happened multi
blsea [12.9K]
Because the ball is a sphere and there's nothing that can actually stop a sphere unless you cover it with something that will actually stop it, for example like your hand.
