Two billiard balls move toward each other on a table. The mass of the number three ball, m1, is 5 g with a velocity of 3 m/s. Th

e mass of the eight ball, m2, is 6 g with a velocity of 1 m/s. After the balls collide, they bounce off each other. The number three ball moves off with a velocity of 5 m/s. What is the final velocity and direction of the eight ball?

This question deals with the law of conservation of momentum, which basically says that the total momentum in a system must stay the same, provided there are no outside forces. Since you were given the mass and velocity of the two objects you can find the momentum (p=mv) of each and then add them together to find the total momentum of the system before they collide. This total momentum must be the same after they collide.  Since you have the mass and velocity of one of the objects after the collision you can find the its momentum after.  Subtract this from the the system total and you will have the momentum of the other object after the collision.  Now that you know the momentum of the other object you can find its velocity using p=mv and its mass from before.

Be careful with the velocities.  They are vectors, so direction matters.  Typically moving to the right is positive (+) and moving to the left is negative (-).  It is not clear from your question which direction the objects are moving before and after the collision.

A person drops a stone down a well and hears the echo 8.9 s later. if it takes 0.9 s for the echo to travel up the well, approxi
Temka [501]

Total time in between the dropping of the stone and hearing of the echo = 8.9 s

Time taken by the sound to reach the person = 0.9 s

Time taken by the stone to reach the bottom of the well = 8.9 - 0.9 = 8 seconds

Initial speed (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2

Time taken (t) = 8 seconds

Let the depth of the well be h.

Using the second equation of motion:

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}\times a \times t^2

h = 0 \times 8 + \frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 8^2

h = 313.6 m

Hence, the depth of the well is 313.6 m

You are designing a generator with a maximum emf 8.0 V. If the generator coil has 200 turns and a cross-sectional area of 0.030
shutvik [7]

Answer:

7.1 Hz

Explanation:

In a generator, the maximum induced emf is given by

\epsilon= 2\pi NAB f

where

N is the number of turns in the coil

A is the area of the coil

B is the magnetic field strength

f is the frequency

In this problem, we have

N = 200

A=0.030 m^2

\epsilon=8.0 V

B = 0.030 T

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the frequency of the generator:

f=\frac{\epsilon}{2\pi NAB}=\frac{8.0 V}{2\pi (200)(0.030 m^2)(0.030 T)}=7.1 Hz

A race car has a maximum speed of 0.104 km/s .What is this speed in miles per hour ?
sweet [91]

Answer:

232.641374 mph

Explanation:

A race car has a maximum speed of 0.104km/s

Let X represent the speed in miles per hour

Therefore the speed in miles per hour can be calculated as follows

1 km/s = 2,236.936292 mph

0.104km/s = X

X = 0.104 × 2,236.936292

X = 232.641374

Hence the speed in miles per hour is 232.641374 mph

An astronomer observes that the wavelength of light from a distant star is shifted toward the red part of the visible spectrum.
balandron [24]

Answer:

The distance between the earth and the star is increasing.

Explanation:

When we observe an object and its electromagnetic radiation has been displaced to blue, it means that it is getting closer to us, causing the light waves it emits to get closer together and its wavelength to decrease towards blue, this is knowm as blueshift.

On the contrary, when an object is rapidly moving away from us, the light waves or electromagnetic radiation it emits have been stretched from their normal wavelength to a longer wavelength, towards the red part of the spectrum. This is known as redshift.

This phenomenon of changes in wavelength and frequency due to movement (whether the source approaches or moves away) is described by the Doppler effect.

So for this case because the light we perceive from the star has moved to the red part of the visible spectrum, we can conclude that it is moving away from the earth, and that the distance between the star and the earth is increasing.
