Considering conservation of momentum;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3

In which,
m1 = mass of snowball 1 = 0.4 kg
v1 = velocity of snowball 1 = 15 m/s
m2 = mass of snowball 2 = 0.6 kg
v2 = velocity of snow ball 2 = 15 m/s
m3 = combined mass = 1 kg
v3 = velocity after comination
Therefore;
0.4*15 + 0.6*15 = 1*v3
v3 = 6+9 = 15 m/s
KE = 1/2mv^2

Then,
KE1 = 1/2*0.4*15^2 = 45 J
KE2 = 1/2*0.6*15^2 = 67.5 J
KE3 = 1/2*1*15^2 = 112.5 J

Therefore, KE3 (kinetic energy after collision) = K1+K2 {kinetic energy before collision). And thus it is 100%.

Describe how transverse waves can be produced by a rope. Then describe hiw pieces of the rope move as waves pass.
Oduvanchick [21]
We did this experiment before, when the rope moves, it represents the waves passing through in from the level of intensity. I hope this is a good answer.

horizontal clothesline is tied between 2 poles, 14 meters apart. When a mass of 3 kilograms is tied to the middle of the clothes
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The tension is  T =  103.96N

Explanation:

The free body diagram of the question is shown on the first uploaded image From the question we are told that

           The distance between the two poles is D =14 m

          The mass tied between the two cloth line is  m = 3Kg

         The distance it sags is d_s = 1m

The objective of this solution is to obtain the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the  clothesline

Now the sum of the forces on the y-axis is zero assuming  that the whole system is at equilibrium

       And this can be mathematically represented as

                             \sum F_y = 0

 To obtain \theta we apply SOHCAHTOH Rule

 So    Tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}

          \theta = tan^{-1} [\frac{opp}{adj} ]

            = tan^{-1} [\frac{1}{7}]

          =8.130^o

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2T sin\theta -mg =0

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T =\frac{mg}{2 sin\theta}

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T = \frac{3 * 9.8 }{2 sin \theta }

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \  T =\frac{29.4}{2sin(8.130)}

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \  T = 103.96N

In the diagram, q1=+6.25 * 10^ -8 C. What is the potential difference when you go from point A to point B? Include the correct s
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Moving a unit "positive" test charge from A to B will result in a reduction in potential

V = K Q / R      potential at a point

V2 - V1 = K Q (1 / .4 - 1 / .15) = = k Q (.15 - .4) / .06 = -4.17 K Q

V2 - V1 = -4.17 * 9 & 10E9 * 6.25 E-8

V2 - V1 = -4.17 * 562.5 J/C

V = - 2346 Volts
