Answer:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. The total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation is 12 kg·m/s

d. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley is -12 kg·m/s

e. The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -4 m/s

Explanation:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. By the principle of the conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the trolleys after separation = The total momentum of the trolleys before separation = 0

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation = Mass × Velocity = 2 kg × 6 m/s = 12 kg·m/s

d. Given that the total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero, the momentum of the 3 kg trolley is equal and opposite to the momentum of the 2 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

e. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = Mass of the 3 kg Trolley × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley

∴ The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = 3 kg × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s/(3 kg) = -4 m/s

In order for the ball to be able to make a complete circle around the peg, there must be sufficient speed at the top of its arc

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let T be the tension in the swing

At top point $mg-T=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

where v=velocity needed to complete circular path

r=distance between point of rotation to the ball center=L+\frac{d}{2} (d=diameter of ball)

Th-resold velocity is given by $mg-0=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

To get the velocity at bottom conserve energy at Top and bottom

At top $E_T=mg\times 2L+\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Energy at Bottom $E_b=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}$

Comparing two as energy is conserved

$v_0^2=4gr+gr$

$v_0^2=5gr$

$v_0=\sqrt{5gr}$

$v_0=\sqrt{5g\left ( \frac{d}{2}+L\right )}$

A cannonball and a marble roll smoothly from rest down an incline. Is the cannonball’s(a) time to the bottom and(b) translationa

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

a) Cannonball and marble will reach the bottom at the same time, as acceleration due to gravity is independent of the mass of the body.

b)Translational Kinetic energy of the cannonball will be more than that of the marble as the cannonball has more mass than the marble.

Gravity is the force that keeps us on the Earth. It pulls us towards the center of the Earth. If you were to move from the surfa

Nikitich [7]

<h2>Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>

That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.

In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy $U_{p}$ will be:

$U_{p}=mgh$

Where $m$ is the mass of the object, $g$ the acceleration due gravity and $h$ the height of the object.

As we can see, the value of $U_{p}$ is directly proportional to the height.

Suppose you throw a baseball downward from a roof so that it initially has 120 J of gravitational potential energy, and 10 J of

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

It will be greater than 10 J.

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its potential energy (PE) and its kinetic energy (KE):

E = PE + KE

According to the law of conservation of energy, when there are no frictional forces on an object, its mechanical energy is conserved.

The potential energy PE is the energy due to the position of the object: the highest the object above the ground, the highest its PE.

The kinetic energy KE is the energy due to the motion of the object: the highest its speed, the largest its KE.

Here at the beginning, when it is at the top of the roof, the baseball has:

PE = 120 J

KE = 10 J

So the total energy is

E = 120 + 10 = 130 J

As the ball falls down, its potential energy decreases, since its height decreases; as a result, since the total energy must remain constant, its kinetic energy increases (as its speed increases).

Therefore, when the ball reaches the ground, its kinetic energy must be greater than 10 J.
