During a snowball fight two balls with masses of 0.4 and 0.6 kg, respectively, are thrown in such a manner that they meet head-o

n and combine to form a single mass. The magnitude of initial velocity for each is 15 m/s. What is the speed of the 1.0-kg mass immediately after collision?

Answer:

The snowball's speed after the impact is 3 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following:

mass of each ball

m₁ = 0.4 Kg

m₂ = 0.6 Kg

initial speed of both balls = v₁ = 15 m/s

Speed of 1 Kg mass post-collision =?

Applying conservation of momentum

m₁ v₁ - m₂ v₁ = (m₁+m₂) V

A negative velocity indicates that the second ball moves in the opposite direction.

0.4 x 15 - 0.6 x 15 = (1) V

Therefore,

V = - 3 m/s

Consequently,

The snowball's speed following the collision is 3 m/s

serg [2593]

Answer:

(a). The distance traveled is 7.06 km towards the west.

(b). Their displacement magnitude is 7.51 km.

Explanation:

The information given states that,

The geese initially move 4.0 km directly west, then alter course to the north at a 40° angle, covering an additional 4.0 km.

Based on the diagram,

(a). To determine the distance

We will apply the distance formula

AD=AB+BD

Insert the values into the equation

D= 4+4.0\cos40^{\circ}

D=7.06\ km

The resultant distance is 7.06 km westward.

(b). We will find the total displacement's magnitude

Using the displacement formula

AC=\sqrt{(CD)^2+(AD)^2}

Insert the values into the equation

AC=\sqrt{(4.0\sin40)^2+(7.06)^2}

AC=7.51

The total displacement magnitude is 7.51 km.

In conclusion, (a). The traveled distance is 7.06 km towards the west.

(b). The magnitude of their total displacement is 7.51 km.

A 25kg child sits on one end of a 2m see saw. How far from the pivot point should a rock of 50kg be placed on the other side of
Sav [2230]

Answer:

A rock weighing 50kg should be positioned at a distance of 0.5m from the pivot of the seesaw.

Explanation:

τchild=τrock  

We will utilize the formula for torque:

(F)child(d)child)=(F)rock(d)rock)

The gravitational force acts equally on both objects.

(m)childg(d)child)=(m)rockg(d)rock)

We can eliminate gravity from both sides of the equation for simplification.

 (m)child(d)child)=(m)rock(d)rock)  

Now employing the given masses for the rock and child. The seesaw's total length is 2 meters, with the child sitting at one end, placing them 1 meter from the center of the seesaw.

(25kg)(1m)=(50kg)drock

Solve for the distance where the rock should be positioned in relation to the seesaw's center.

drock=25kg⋅m50kg

drock=0.5m

A reactant is any substance that takes part in a chemical reaction. Conversely, a product is what emerges from the chemical transformation. A familiar example of a chemical change is rust formation. In this reaction, oxygen and iron, which serve as the reactants, react to produce a substance known as iron oxide, or rust.
