Puck 1 (1 kg) travels with velocity 20 m/s to the right when it collides with puck 2 (1 kg) which is initially at rest. After th

e collision, puck 1 moves with a velocity of 5 m/s. Assume that no external forces are present and therefore the momentum for the system of pucks is conserved. What is the final velocity (in m/s) of puck 2 after the collision

Answer:

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of Puck 1, m = 1 kg

Mass of Puck 2, M = 1 kg

Initial velocity of Puck 1, u = 20 m/s

Initial velocity of Puck 2, U = 0 m/s

Final velocity of Puck 1, v = 5 m/s

Since we are told that momentum is conserved, we apply the principle of conservation of momentum:

Total initial momentum of the system = Total final momentum of the system

mu + MU = mv + MV

(1 * 20) + (1 * 0) = (1 * 5) + (1 * V)

20 = 5 + V

V = 20 - 5 = 15 m/s

Puck 2 moves with a velocity of 15 m/s

The linear impulse delivered by the hit of a boxer is 202 N · s during the 0.244 s of contact. What is the magnitude of the aver
zlopas [31]

Answer: Magnitude of the average force exerted on the glove by the other boxer is 827.86 N (approximately 828 N).

Explanation: Impulse is defined as the force acting on an object for a short period or interval of time.

Mathematically it is given by the relation:

Impulse = Force \times Time

According to the numerical values given in the question, I = 202 Ns and T = 0.244 s

So, Force F = \frac{Impulse}{Time} = \frac{202}{0.244} = 827.86 N

Magnitude of the average force exerted on the glove by the other boxer is 827.86 N (approximately 828 N).

A 1.00 kg object is attached to a horizontal spring. the spring is initially stretched by 0.500 m, and the object is released fr
valina [46]
The  spring is initially stretched, and the mass released from rest (v=0). The next time the speed becomes zero again is when the spring is fully compressed, and the mass is on the opposite side of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position, after a time t=0.100 s. This corresponds to half oscillation of the system. Therefore, the period of a full oscillation of the system is
T=2 t = 2 \cdot 0.100 s = 0.200 s
Which means that the frequency is
f= \frac{1}{T}= \frac{1}{0.200 s}=5 Hz
and the angular frequency is
\omega=2 \pi f = 2 \pi (5 Hz)=31.4 rad/s

In a spring-mass system, the maximum velocity of the object is given by
v_{max} = A \omega
where A is the amplitude of the oscillation. In our problem, the amplitude of the motion corresponds to the initial displacement of the object (A=0.500 m), therefore the maximum velocity is
v_{max} = A \omega = (0.500 m)(31.4 rad/s)= 15.7 m/s

How are longitudinal and transverse waves different?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

A longitudinal wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is in the same direction as the wave. On the other hand, a transverse wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is at a right angle to the wave direction.

Displacement vectors of 4km north, 2km south, 5km north, 5km south combine to a total displacement of
goldfiish [28.3K]

<u>Answer</u>

The combined displacement is 2km north


<u>Explanation</u>


Since displacement is a vector quantity, we take into account the direction.


Good for us all the displacement vectors are in the same dimension, so we can make north positive and south negative or vice-versa.


We now add to obtain,

4+-2+5+-5

This will simplify to

=4-2+5-5=2

Therefore the combined displacement is 2km north
