Momentum P can be expressed as:
P = mv

The inputs are: m₁ = 62 kg, m₂ = 78.1 kg, v₁ =?, v₂ = 0 m/s, and v₁₊₂ = 1.29 m/s

Before:
P = m_1 v_1 * m_2 v_2 = m_1 v_1

After:
P = (m_1 + m_2)v_{1+2}

As momentum is conserved, the momentum prior to the collision must equal the momentum after the collision.

P = m_1 v_1 = (m_1 + m_2)v_{1+2} \\ v_1 = \frac{(m_1 + m_2)v_{1+2}}{m_1}

To solve for v₁.

Consider 500 g of silver (atomic mass 107 g/mol). Assume that the temperature is high enough that equipartition applies. We heat
ValentinkaMS [2425]

Answer:

A. 2.57 K

Explanation:

Using the specific heat capacity,

Q = cmΔT........................ Equation 1

Where Q = Heat energy absorbed by silver, m = mass of silver, c = specific heat capacity for silver, ΔT = temperature change of the silver.

Rearranging gives ΔT as the subject of the equation

ΔT = Q/cm................... Equation 2

Provided: Q = 300 J, m = 500 g = 0.5 kg

Constant: c = 233 J/kg.K

Inserting values into equation 2 yields

ΔT = 300/(0.5×233)

ΔT  = 300/116.5

ΔT = 2.57 K

Therefore, the correct answer is A. 2.57 K

A mass attached to a 66.4 cm long string starts from rest and is rotated 36.6 rev in1 min before reaching a final angular speed.
Ostrovityanka [2204]

Answer:

0.128 rad/s², 7.66 rad/s

Explanation:

length, l = 66.4 cm

initial angular velocity, ωo = 0 rad/s

Let ω represent the final angular velocity.

Let α denote the angular acceleration.

number of revolutions, n = 36.6

time taken, t = 1 min = 60 seconds

Angle rotated, θ = 2πn = 2 x 3.14 x 36.6 = 229.85 rad

Apply the second equation of motion for angular dynamics

\theta =\omega _{0}t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}

229.85 = 0 + 0.5 x α x 60 x 60

α = 0.128 rad/s²

Utilize the first equation of motion

ω = ωo + αt

ω = 0 + 0.128 x 60

ω = 7.66 rad/s

A ball is dropped from the top of a building.After 2 seconds, it’s velocity is measured to be 19.6 m/s. Calculate the accelerati
Keith_Richards [2256]
The acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s². Explanation: The phrase 'A ball is dropped from the top of a building' implies that the ball's initial velocity is zero, u = 0 m/s. After 2 seconds, the ball's velocity measures 19.6 m/s, with t = 2s, v = 19.6 m/s. Employing the equation

v = u + at yields 19.6 = 0 + 2a, hence a = 9.8 m/s².

How far will a rubber ball fall in 10 seconds?
serg [2593]

If the object remains stationary at the onset of 10 seconds, it will descend 490 meters straight downward over 10 seconds.

(Note: This holds true for all items on Earth... rubber balls, feathers, grains of sand, school buses, battleships... everything. As long as air resistance is not an issue. Any object dropped from rest falls 490 meters in the initial 10 seconds.)
