Answer:

The total momentum after the collision is 1 kg-m/s.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a steel sphere is 0.5 kg

It is travelling with a speed of 2 m/s

It collides with an identical sphere at rest.

The law of conservation of momentum states that the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum for an isolated system. Here, initial momentum is :

$p_i=p_f=mv\\\\p_i=p_f=0.5\times 2\\\\p_f=1\ kg-m/s$

So, the total momentum after the collision is 1 kg-m/s.

A particle moving along the y-axis has the potential energy u =4y3j, where y is in m. what is the y-component of the force on th

Ivenika [448]

Potential energy is given as

$U = 4y^3$

now as we know that force is related by potential energy by the formula

$F = - \frac{dU}{dy}$

So it is gradient of energy with position in Y

$F = - \fracd(4y^3}{dy}$

$F = -12y^2 \hat j$

Now at y = 0

$F = 0 N$

at y = 1

$F = - 12*1^2$

$F = - 12 N$

at y = 2

$F = - 12*2^2$

$F = - 48 N$

so above is the forces at given positions

Two objects of same material are travelling near you. Object A is a 1.9 kg mass traveling 8 m/s; object B is a 2 kg mass traveli

Alex73 [517]

To determine the object which could give the greatest impact we will apply the concept of momentum. The object that has the highest momentum will be the object that will impact the strongest. Our values are

Mass of Object A

$m_A=1.9 kg$

Velocity of object A

$v_A=8ms$

Mass of object B

$m_B=2 kg$

Velocity of object B

$v_B=5ms$

The general formula for momentum is the product between mass and velocity, then

$p = mv$

For each object we have then,

$p_A=m_Av_A=1.9 kg(8ms)=15.2kg \cdot m/s$

$p_B=m_Bv_B=2 kg(5ms)=10kg \cdot m/s$

Since the momentum of object A is greater than that of object B, then object A will make you feel force upon impact.

Sladkaya [172]

The main difference between the model of the atom proposed by Greek philosophers and the model proposed centuries later by Dalton is that the Greek one was mainly speculative and philosophical - it wasn't based on real evidence, but on their suggestions and thoughts about the matter. On the other hand, Dalton had the means to prove his theory using viable evidence, not just speculations.

PLEASE HELPPPPPPPP

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

I think this is AWESOME, but I think the last sentence of your conclusion is a bit off. <span> "If someone has an allergy to oil then they can still eat cake because applesauce makes an amazing substitute for oil." I think that you should say "This recipe is great for those who cannot eat/drink oil, the applesauce is an amazing substitute for oil."

I hope I helped! -Wajiha</span>

A skier (m=59.0 kg) starts sliding down from the top of a ski jump with negligible friction and takes off horizontally. If h = 3

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

35.20 m

Explanation:

By the law of conservation of energy we have,

$mg(H-h)=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$g(H-h)=\frac{1}{2}v^2$

$\Rightarrow H=\frac{v^2}{2g}+h$

where m= mass of the skier, h= 3.00 m

D= horizontal distance=13.9 m

H= maximum height attained

Also, the horizontal distance covered by the skier is

D=vt

$=v\frac{2g}{h}$

$\Rightarrow v^2=\frac{gD^2}{2h}$

thus, height H in terms of D is given by

$H=\frac{D^2}{2h}+h$

$H=\frac{13.9^2}{2\times3}+3$

H=35.20 m
