Answer:
0.006075Joules
Explanation:
The final kinetic energy of the system is expressed as;
KE = 1/2(m1+m2)v²
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two bodies
v is the final velocity of the bodies after collision
get the final velocity using the law of conservation of momentum
m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v
0.12(0.45) + 0/12(0) = (0.12+0.12)v
0.054 = 0.24v
v = 0.054/0.24
v = 0.225m/s
Get the final kinetic energy;
KE = 1/2(m1+m2)v
KE = 1/2(0.12+0.12)(0.225)²
KE = 1/2(0.24)(0.050625)
KE = 0.12*0.050625
KE = 0.006075Joules
Hence the final kinetic energy of the system is 0.006075Joules
Answer:
5.51 m/s^2
Explanation:
Initial scale reading = 50 kg
assume the greatest scale reading = 78.09 kg
<u>Determine the maximum acceleration for these elevators</u>
At rest the weight is = 50 kg
Weight ( F ) = mg = 50 * 9.81 = 490.5 N<u>
</u>
<u>
</u>At the 10th floor weight = 78.09 kg
Weight at 10th floor ( F ) = 78.09 * 9.81 = 766.11 N
F = change in weight
Change in weight( F ) = ma = 766.11 - 490.5 (we will take the mass as the starting mass as that mass is calculated when the body is at rest)
50 * a = 275.61
Hence the maximum acceleration ( a ) = 275.61 / 50 = 5.51 m/s^2
Mass is the amount of matter it has, while weight <span>is a measurement of the force placed on an object by gravity. An example of how they are different is that mass is always constant while weight varies depending on the location.</span>
