Two billiard balls of equal mass are traveling straight toward each other with the same speed. They meet head-on in an elastic c

ollision. What is the total momentum of the system containing the two balls before the collision? What about after the collision?

Answer:

0 kg m/s before and after collision

Explanation:

Let m, v be the mass and speed of the 2 balls, respectively, before the collision. Since they have the same mass and same speed but in opposite direction, the total momentum of the system would be:

P = mv - mv = 0 kg m/s

As the collision is elastic. The total momentum after the collision is the same as the total momentum before the collision, which is 0.

An object begins at position x = 0 and moves one-dimensionally along the x-axis witļi a velocity v
Liula [17]

Answer:

The answer is "between 20 s and 30 s".

Explanation:

Calculating the value of positive displacement:

\ (x_{+ve}) = \frac{1}{2} \times 15 \times  20 \\\\

          = \frac{1}{2} \times 300 \\\\=  150 \\\\

Calculating the value of negative displacement upon the time t:

(x_{-ve}) = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 20- 20(t-20) \\\\

          = \frac{1}{2} \times 100- 20t+ 400 \\\\= 50- 20t+ 400 \\\\

\to X= X_{+ve} + X_{-ve} \\\\

\to  150 - 50 -20t+400 =0\\\\\to 100 -20t+400 =0 \\\\\to 500 -20t =0\\\\\to 20t =500 \\\\\to t=\frac{500}{20}\\\\\to t=\frac{50}{2}\\\\\to t= 25

That's why its value lie in "between 20 s and 30 s".

In a rocket-propulsion problem the mass is variable. Another such problem is a raindrop falling through a cloud of small water d
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

a) a = g / 3

b) x (3.0) = 14.7 m

c) m (3.0) = 29.4 g

Explanation:

Given:-

- The following differential equation for (x) the distance a rain drop has fallen has the form:

                             x*g = x * \frac{dv}{dt} + v^2

- Where,                v = Speed of the raindrop

- Proposed solution to given ODE:

                             v = a*t

Where,                  a = acceleration of raindrop

Find:-

(a) Using the proposed solution for v find the acceleration a.

(b) Find the distance the raindrop has fallen in t = 3.00 s.

(c) Given that k = 2.00 g/m, find the mass of the raindrop at t = 3.00 s.

Solution:-

- We know that acceleration (a) is the first derivative of velocity (v):

                             a = dv / dt   ... Eq 1

- Similarly, we know that velocity (v) is the first derivative of displacement (x):

                            v = dx / dt  , v = a*t ... proposed solution (Eq 2)

                             v .dt = dx = a*t . dt

- integrate both sides:

                             ∫a*t . dt = ∫dt

                             x = 0.5*a*t^2  ... Eq 3

- Substitute Eq1 , 2 , 3 into the given ODE:

                            0.5*a*t^2*g = 0.5*a^2 t^2 + a^2 t^2

                                                = 1.5 a^2 t^2

                            a = g / 3

- Using the acceleration of raindrop (a) and t = 3.00 second and plug into Eq 3:

                           x (t) = 0.5*a*t^2

                           x (t = 3.0) = 0.5*9.81*3^2 / 3

                           x (3.0) = 14.7 m  

- Using the relation of mass given, and k = 2.00 g/m, determine the mass of raindrop at time t = 3.0 s:

                           m (t) = k*x (t)

                           m (3.0) = 2.00*x(3.0)

                           m (3.0) = 2.00*14.7

                           m (3.0) = 29.4 g

160 students sit in an auditorium listening to a physics lecture. Because they are thinking hard, each is using 125 W of metabol
anastassius [24]

Answer:

minimum power should be used to operate the air conditioner is 4000 W

Explanation:

given data

students  n = 160

power p = 125 W

COP = 5.0

to find out

what minimum power should be used

solution

we know the COP formula that is given below

COP = students × power  / minimum power

minimum power = n × p / COP

put all value

minimum power = n × p / COP

minimum power = 160 × 125 / 5

minimum power = 4000 W

minimum power should be used to operate the air conditioner is 4000 W

jekas [21]
First, torque is equal to force times the distance. for the first force that is applied, the torque is zero because is applied at the hinge. so the net torque:
t = ( 12 N ) ( 0 m ) ( cos 30 ) + ( 12 N ) ( 1.68 m ) cos 45
t = 14.26 Nm is the torque with respect to the hinge

For a Physics course containing 10 students, the maximum point total for the quarter was 200. The point totals for the 10 studen
Talja [164]

Answer:

130.5

Explanation:

According to the stemplot attached (Which I think it is, and if not, then you only need to replace the procedure with your data and you should be fine), you need to calculate first the points of all ten students. In that plot, we can easily calculate the points.

The first number in the colum represents the centen of the point, while the numbers of the second column, represents the units of that centen, for example if you see:

16 | 8 5 6

This means that the point for the students are 168, 165 and 166. Three students, three points.

If you watch the stemplot, the points for the students are:

116, 118, 121, 124, 128, 133, 137, 142, 146 and 179.

The median can be calculated using the mean between the two values in the middle of the sequence.

In this case, half of ten is 5, so, the numbers from the middle in this sequence are 128 and 133, therefore:

Median = 128 + 133 / 2 = 130.5
