Answer:

4. All the momentum starts in one ball, and after the collision, it is all in the other ball.

Explanation:

All the momentum starts in the first ball (the one is moving) . When this ball collides with the second ball, the first ball stops but its momentum it is transferred to the second ball, then to the third then fourth until it reaches the very last ball. Only the last ball has momentum now because is the only one moving.

If Frequency F, velocity v, and density D are considered fundamental units, the dimensional formula for momentum will be :

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Let's see

Momentum be P

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow P=[Frequency]^a[velocity]^b[Density]^c$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow [P]=[F]^a[v]^b[D]^c$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow [M^1L^1T^{-1}]=[T^{-1}]^a[L^1T^{-1}]^b[M^1L^{-3}]^c$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow MLT^{-1}=T^{-a}L^bT^{-b}M^cL^{-3c}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow MLT^{-1}=T^{-a-b}L^{b-3c}M^c$

On comaparing

b-3c=1
b-3=1
b=1+3
b=4

and

-a-b=-1
-a-4=-1
-a=-1+4=3
a=-3

So the unit is

DV⁴/F³

In an elastic head-on collision, a 0.60 kg cart moving at 5.0 m/s [W] collides with a 0.80 kg cart moving at 2.0 m/s [E]. The co

Answer:

The answer is given below

Explanation:

u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity. Given that:

$m_1=0.6kg,u_1=-5m/s(moving \ west),m_2=0.8kg,u_2=2m/s,k=1200N/m$

The final velocity of cart 1 after collision is given as:

$v_1=(\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2})u_1+\frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\ Substituting:\\v_1=\frac{0.6-0.8}{0.6+0.8} (-5)+\frac{2*0.8}{0.6+0.8}(2)= 5/7+16/7=3\ m/s$

The final velocity of cart 2 after collision is given as:

$v_2=(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})u_2+\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_1\\ Substituting:\\v_1=\frac{0.8-0.6}{0.6+0.8} (2)+\frac{2*0.6}{0.6+0.8}(-5)= 2/7-30/7=-4\ m/s$

b) Using the law of conservation of energy:

$\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1+ \frac{1}{2}m_2u_2=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2+\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\x=\sqrt{\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1-m_2v_2}{k}}\\ Substituting\ gives:\\x=\sqrt{\frac{0.6*(-5)^2+0.8*2^2-(0.6*3^2)-(0.8*(-4)^2)}{1200}}=\sqrt{0}=0\ cm$

A loudspeaker diaphragm is vibrating in simple harmonic motion with a frequency of 760 Hz and a maximum displacement of 0.85 mm.

Alchen [17]

Explanation: Given that the frequency of oscilation f, is 760Hz and the maximum displacement x, is 0.85mm= 0.00085m

(a) Angular frequency w= 2πf

w= 2π × 760 = 4775.2Hz

(b) Maximum speed v is given as the product of angular frequency and maximum displacement

V=wx

V= 4775.2 × 0.00085

V= 4.06m/s

= w²x

= (4775.2)² × (0.00085)

a= 19382.15m/s².
