Energy is the ability to do work.
So work can not be done without the transfer of energy from one body to another.
Work is the transfer of energy.
Answer:
Cardiac Arrest, burns, and nerve damage.
Explanation:
Basically, the main risk is cardiac arrest, caused by the electric current interfering with the normal operation of the heart muscle. Other possible damages are burns due to the electric energy vaporizing the water inside the cells, and nerve damage caused by excessive current through the nerves.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
At one instant,
Center of mass is at 2m
Xcm = 2m
And velocity =5•i m/s
One of the particle is at the origin
M1=? X1 =0
The other has a mass M2=0.1kg
And it is at rest at position X2= 8m
a. Center of mass is given as
Xcm = (M1•X1 + M2•X2) / (M1+M2)
2 = (M1×0 + 0.1×8) /(M1 + 0.1)
2 = (0+ 0.8) /(M1 + 0.1)
Cross multiply
2(M1+0.1) = 0.8
2M1 + 0.2 =0.8
2M1 = 0.8-0.2
2M1 = 0.6
M1 = 0.6/2
M1 = 0.3kg
b. Total momentum, this is an inelastic collision and it momentum after collision is given as
P= (M1+M2)V
P = (0.3+0.1)×5•i
P = 0.4 × 5•i
P = 2 •i kgm/s
c. Velocity of particle at origin
Using conversation of momentum
Momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision
P(before) = M1 • V1 + M2 • V2
We are told that M2 is initially at rest, then, V2=0
So, P(before) = 0.3V1
We already got P(after) = 2 •i kgm/s in part b of the question
Then,
P(before) = P(after)
0.3V1 = 2 •i
V1 = 2/0.3 •i
V1 = 6 ⅔ •i m/s
V1 = 6.667 •i m/s
