Answer:
Explanation:
Total momentum of the system before the collision
.5 x 3 - 1.5 x 1.5 = -0.75 kg m/s towards the left
If v be the velocity of the stuck pucks
momentum after the collision = 2 v
Applying conservation of momentum
2 v = - .75
v = - .375 m /s
Let after the collision v be the velocity of .5 kg puck
total momentum after the collision
.5 v + 1.5 x .231 = .5v +.3465
Applying conservation of momentum law
.5 v +.3465 = - .75
v = - 2.193 m/s
2 ) To verify whether the collision is elastic or not , we verify whether the kinetic energy is conserved or not.
Kinetic energy before the collision
= 2.25 + 1.6875
=3.9375 J
kinetic energy after the collision
= .04 + 1.2 =1.24 J
So kinetic energy is not conserved . Hence collision is not elastic.
3 ) Change in the momentum of .5 kg
1.5 - (-1.0965 )
= 2.5965
Average force applied = change in momentum / time
= 2.5965 / 25 x 10⁻³
= 103.86 N
Answer:
increasing the separation between the plates
Explanation:
The increase in the vacuum/separation between the plates in a parallel plate capacitor connected to a constant potential difference decreases the energy stored in the capacitor. the increase in the separation of the plates of a parallel plate capacitor reduces the capacitance of the capacitor because
Q(charge) = CV V = VOLTAGE , c = capacitance
E = 1/2 eAV^2/ D ( ENERGY STORED )
where D = distance between plates, e = dielectric, A = area of capacitor , V = potential difference
Answer:
58.5 m
Explanation:
First of all, we need to find the total time the ball takes to reach the water. This can be done by looking at the vertical motion only.
The initial vertical velocity of the ball is
where
u = 21.5 m/s is the initial speed
is the angle
Substituting,
The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by
where
h = 13.5 m is the initial heigth
is the acceleration of gravity (negative sign because it points downward)
The ball reaches the water when y = 0, so
Which gives two solutions: t = 3.27 s and t = -0.84 s. We discard the negative solution since it is meaningless.
The horizontal velocity of the ball is
And since the motion along the horizontal direction is a uniform motion, we can find the horizontal distance travelled by the ball as follows:
Answer:
Acid mine drainage is dissolved toxic materials wash from mines into nearby lakes and streams.
Explanation:
Acid mine drainage is the flow of acidic water with pH typically between 2 and 4, and high concentrations of other dissolved toxic materials from mines into nearby lakes and streams. It mainly occurs during metal sulfide mining, when the metal sulfide ore such as pyrite (FeS2) is exposed to water and oxygen from air to produce soluble iron and sulfuric acid.
Microorganisms, especially acidophile bacteria like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grow by pyrite oxidation, i.e., oxidizing the Fe²⁺ in pyrite to Fe³⁺, which again react with pyrite and water to produce sulfuric acid. Then the acidic water flows into nearby water sources and reduces the pH value of water in those sources. As a result, heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury, etc in other mineral ores also get dissolved into the water. The action of acidophile bacteria also increases the rate and degree of acid-mine drainage process.
The acid mine drainage causes water pollution and adversely affect the aquatic plants and animals. It also results in the contamination of drinking water, corrosion of infrastructures such as bridges, etc.
