We consider the momentum in the x-direction and apply the principle of conservation of momentum to form the equation:
m(A)u(A) = m(A)v(A) + m(B)v(B), since u(B) = 0 as B is at rest
We calculate v(A) using:
Vx = Vcos∅
Vx = 2.1cos(30)
Vx = 1.82 m/s
1.5 x 4.5 = 1.5 x 1.82 + 3.2v(B)
v(B) = 1.26 m/s
The deflection angle of B will be 30° above the positive x-axis, so:
v(B) = Vcos∅
V = 1.26 / cos(30)
V = 1.45 m/s
The velocity of B is 1.45 m/s
It is conduction
I hope this helps!
Answer:
The answer to the question is highlighted in the box
As the length increases, resistance increases, as a result current decreases.
