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%.

Suppose a 78 kg person is bouncing on a bathroom scale which has a force constant of 1.5 × 106 n/m. 50% part (a) what is the max
elena55 [62]

m = mass of the person bouncing = 78 kg

k = spring constant of the bathroom scale = 1.5 x 10⁶ N/m

v = maximum velocity of the person

A = maximum compression of the spring of scale = 0.115 cm = 0.00115 m

h = height gained at maximum speed = A = 0.00115 m

Using conservation of energy

spring potential energy = kinetic energy + gravitational potential energy

(0.5) k A² = (0.5) m v² + m g h

k A² = m v² + 2 m g h

(1.5 x 10⁶) (0.00115)² = (78) v² + 2 (78) (9.8) (0.00115)

v = 0.0538 m/s

2 litre of water at is poured into a plastic bucket containing 10 litre of water at 20 degree Celsius.What is the final temperat
Valentin [98]

Answer:30^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given

v_1=2 liter

volume of water in bucket v_2=10 liter

density of water \rho =1 kg/liter

thus m_1=\rho \cdot v_1=2 kg

m_2=\rho \cdot v_2=10 kg

T_2=20^{\circ}C

suppose T_1=80^{\circ}C

Conserving heat energy i.e. heat lost by water is gained by water in bucket

m_1cT_1+m_2cT_2=(m_1+m_2)T

where T=final Temperature

T=\frac{m_1T_1+m_2T_2}{m_1+m_2}

T=\frac{160+200}{12}

T=30^{\circ}C
