A very big hockey puck with mass 2.5 kg traveling 20 degrees north of east at 10.0 m/s strikes a puck with a mass of 4.0 kg trav

eling north at 2 m/s. The 2.5 kg puck exits the collision in a direction that is 30 deg. north of east at a velocity of 8.0 m/s. What is the magnitude and direction of the 4.0 kg puck's velocity?

Answer:

Velocity = 0.47 m/s

Direction = 65 degrees South of east.

(295 degrees counter clockwise from + X axis).

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum along the X and Y directions can be used to determine the velocity of the 4 kg puck.

Along the X direction momentum conservation is as follows:  

2.5 cos 20 + 4.0 cos 90 = 2.5 cos 30 + 4 v cos α

⇒  v cos α = 2.5 ( cos 20 - cos 30) ÷ 4 = 0.46 m/s

2.5 sin 20 + 4 sin 90 = 2.5 sin 30 + 4 v sin α

v sin α = (2.5 sin 20 - 2.5 sin 30) ÷ 4 =  -0.0987 m/s

v = √(v² cos² α + v² sin² α) = √ (0.46² + (-0.0987)² = 0.47 m/s

Direction = α = tan⁻¹ (-0.0987/0.46) = -65 degrees = 65 degrees clock wise from +X axis or 295 degrees counter clockwise from +X axis

Using Gauss's law, calculate the electric field at a point distance s from a long wire bearing uniform charge density. i need he
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

E = 2k  \frac{\lambda}{ r}

Explanation:

Gauss's law states that the electric flux equals the wax charge between the dielectric permeability.

We must define a Gaussian surface that takes advantage of the symmetry of the problem, let's use a cylinder with the faces perpendicular to the line of charge. Therefore the angle between the cylinder side area has the same direction of the electric field which is radial.

            Ф = ∫ E . dA = E ∫ dA = q_{int} /ε₀

tells us that the linear charge density is

            λ = q_ {int} /l

            q_ {int} = l λ

we substitute

            E A = l λ /ε₀

is area of ​​cylinder is

           A = 2π r l

we substitute

            E = \frac{ l \ \lambda}{ \epsilon_o \ 2\pi  \ r \ l }

             E = \frac{\lambda}{ 2\pi  \epsilon_o \ r}

the amount

            k = 1 / 4πε₀

            E = 2k  \frac{\lambda}{ r}

Consider a container of oxygen gas at a temperature of 23°C that is 1.00 m tall. Compare the gravitational potential energy of a
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Yes, it is reasonable to neglect it.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, a single molecule of oxygen weights 32 g (diatomic oxygen) thus, the mass of kilograms is (consider Avogadro's number):

m=1molec*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}molec} *\frac{32g}{1mol}*\frac{1kg}{1000g}=5.31x10^{-26}kg

After that, we compute the potential energy 1.00 m above the reference point:

U=mhg=5.31x10^{-26}kg*1.00m*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}=5.2x10^{-25}J

Then, we compute the average kinetic energy at the specified temperature:

K=\frac{3}{2}\frac{R}{Na}T

Whereas N_A stands for the Avogadro's number for which we have:

K=\frac{3}{2} \frac{8.314\frac{J}{mol*K}}{6.022x10^{23}/mol}*(23+273)K\\ \\K=6.13x10^{-21}J

In such a way, since the average kinetic energy energy is about 12000 times higher than the potential energy, it turns out reasonable to neglect the potential energy.

Regards.
