In collision type of problems since momentum is always conserved

we can say

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1 v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

So here along with this equation we also required one more equation for the restitution coefficient

$v_{2f} - v_{1f} = e(v_{1i} - v_{2i})$

so above two equations are required to find the velocity after collision

here the change in velocity occurs due to the contact force while they contact in each other

so this is the impulse of collision while they are in contact with each other while in collision which changes the velocity of two colliding objects

Two long, parallel wires carry unequal currents in the same direction. The ratio of the currents is 3 to 1. The magnitude of the

astraxan [27]

Answer:

3A is the larger of the two currents.

Explanation:

Let the currents in the two wires be I₁ and I₂

given:

Magnitude of the electric field, B = 4.0μT = 4.0×10⁻⁶T

Distance, R = 10cm = 0.1m

Ratio of the current = I₁ : I₂ = 3 : 1

Now, the magnitude of a magnetic field at a distance 'R' due to the current 'I' is given as

$B = \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi R}$

Where $\mu_o$ is the magnitude constant = 4π×10⁻⁷ H/m

Thus, the magnitude of a magnetic field due to I₁ will be

$B_1 = \frac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi R}$

$B_2 = \frac{\mu_oI_2}{2\pi R}$

given,

B = B₁ - B₂ (since both the currents are in the same direction and parallel)

substituting the values of B, B₁ and B₂

we get

4.0×10⁻⁶T = $\frac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi R}$ - $\frac{\mu_oI_2}{2\pi R}$

or

4.0×10⁻⁶T = $\frac{\mu_o}{2\pi R}\times (I_1-I_2 )$

also

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{3}{1}$

⇒ $I_1 = 3\times I_2$

substituting the values in the above equation we get

4.0×10⁻⁶T = $\frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}}{2\pi 0.1}\times (3 I_2-I_2)$

⇒ $I_2 = 1A$

also

$I_1 = 3\times I_2$

⇒ $I_1 = 3\times 1A$

⇒ $I_1 = 3A$

Hence, the larger of the two currents is 3A

Air at 3 104 kg/s and 27 C enters a rectangular duct that is 1m long and 4mm 16 mm on a side. A uniform heat flux of 600 W/m2 is

ad-work [718]

Answer:

$T_{out}=27.0000077$ ºC

Explanation:

First, let's write the energy balance over the duct:

$H_{out}=H_{in}+Q$

It says that the energy that goes out from the duct (which is in enthalpy of the mass flow) must be equals to the energy that enters in the same way plus the heat that is added to the air. Decompose the enthalpies to the mass flow and specific enthalpies:

$m*h_{out}=m*h_{in}+Q\\m*(h_{out}-h_{in})=Q$

The enthalpy change can be calculated as Cp multiplied by the difference of temperature because it is supposed that the pressure drop is not significant.

$m*Cp(T_{out}-T_{in})=Q$

So, let's isolate $T_{out}$ :

$T_{out}-T_{in}=\frac{Q}{m*Cp}\\T_{out}=T_{in}+\frac{Q}{m*Cp}$

The Cp of the air at 27ºC is 1007 $\frac{J}{kgK}$ (Taken from Keenan, Chao, Keyes, “Gas Tables”, Wiley, 1985.); and the only two unknown are $T_{out}$ and Q.

Q can be found knowing that the heat flux is 600W/m2, which is a rate of heat to transfer area; so if we know the transfer area, we could know the heat added.

The heat transfer area is the inner surface area of the duct, which can be found as the perimeter of the cross section multiplied by the length of the duct:

Perimeter:

$P=2*H+2*A=2*0.004m+2*0.016m=0.04m$

Surface area:

$A=P*L=0.04m*1m=0.04m^2$

Then, the heat Q is:

$600\frac{W}{m^2} *0.04m^2=24W$

Finally, find the exit temperature:

$T_{out}=T_{in}+\frac{Q}{m*Cp}\\T_{out}=27+\frac{24W}{3104\frac{kg}{s} *1007\frac{J}{kgK} }\\T_{out}=27.0000077$

$T_{out}$ =27.0000077 ºC

The temperature change so little because:

The mass flow is so big compared to the heat flux.
The transfer area is so little, a bigger length would be required.

A baseball catcher puts on an exhibition by catching a 0.15-kg ball dropped from a helicopter at a height of 101 m. What is the

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The speed of the ball 1.0 m above the ground is 44 m/s (Answer A).

Explanation:

Hi there!

To solve this problem, let´s use the law of conservation of energy. Since there is no air resistance, the only energies that we should consider is the gravitational potential energy and the kinetic energy. Because of the conservation of energy, the loss of potential energy of the ball must be compensated by a gain in kinetic energy.

In this case, the potential energy is being converted into kinetic energy as the ball falls (this is only true when there are no dissipative forces, like air resistance, acting on the ball). Then, the loss of potential energy (PE) is equal to the increase in kinetic energy (KE):

We can express this mathematically as follows:

-ΔPE = ΔKE

-(final PE - initial PE) = final KE - initial KE

The equation of potential energy is the following:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

PE = potential energy.

m = mass of the ball.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

The equation of kinetic energy is the following:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

KE = kinetic energy.

m = mass of the ball.

v = velocity.

Then:

-(final PE - initial PE) = final KE - initial KE

-(m · g · hf - m · g · hi) = 1/2 · m · v² - 0 (initial KE = 0 because the ball starts from rest) (hf = final height, hi = initial height)

- m · g (hf - hi) = 1/2 · m · v²

2g (hi - hf) = v²

√(2g (hi - hf)) = v

Replacing with the given data:

√(2 · 9.8 m/s²(101 m - 1.0 m)) = v

v = 44 m/s

The speed of the ball 1.0 m above the ground is 44 m/s.
