Velocity of the two balls after collision: $60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

$100\; \rm J$ of kinetic energy would be lost.

Explanation:

Velocity

Because the question asked about energy, convert all units to standard units to keep the calculation simple:

Mass of the first ball: $100\; \rm g = 0.1\; \rm kg$ .Mass of the second ball: $400\; \rm g = 0.4 \; \rm kg$ .

The two balls stick to each other after the collision. In other words, this collision is a perfectly inelastic collision. Kinetic energy will not be conserved. The velocity of the two balls after the collision can only be found using the conservation of momentum.

Assume that the system of the two balls is isolated. Thus, the sum of the momentum of the two balls will stay the same before and after the collision.

The momentum of an object of mass and velocity is: $p = m \cdot v$ .

Momentum of the two balls before collision:

First ball: $p = m \cdot v = 0.1\; \rm kg \times 100\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} = 10\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ .Second ball: $p = m \cdot v = 0.4\; \rm kg \times 50\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} = 20\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ .Sum: $10\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1} + 20 \; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1} = 30 \; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ given that the two balls are moving in the same direction.

Based on the assumptions, the sum of the momentum of the two balls after collision should also be $30\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ . The mass of the two balls, combined, is $0.1\; \rm kg + 0.4\; \rm kg = 0.5\; \rm kg$ . Let the velocity of the two balls after the collision $v\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ . (There's only one velocity because the collision had sticked the two balls to each other.)

Momentum after the collision from $p = m \cdot v$ : $(0.5\, v)\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1$ .Momentum after the collision from the conservation of momentum: $30\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

These two values are supposed to describe the same quantity: the sum of the momentum of the two balls after the collision. They should be equal to each other. That gives the equation about :

$0.5\, v = 30$ .

v = 60 .

In other words, the velocity of the two balls right after the collision should be $60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

Kinetic Energy

The kinetic energy of an object of mass and velocity is $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^{2}$ .

Kinetic energy before the collision:

First ball: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^2 = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.1\; \rm kg \times \left(100\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^{2} = 500\; \rm J$ .Second ball: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^2 = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.4\; \rm kg \times \left(50\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^{2} = 500\; \rm J$ .Sum: $500\; \rm J + 500\; \rm J = 1000\; \rm J$ .

The two balls stick to each other after the collision. Therefore, consider them as a single object when calculating the sum of their kinetic energies.

Mass of the two balls, combined: $0.5\; \rm kg$ .Velocity of the two balls right after the collision: $60\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}$ .

Sum of the kinetic energies of the two balls right after the collision:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.5\; \rm kg \times \left(60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2 = 900\; \rm J$ .

Therefore, $1000\; \rm J - 900\; \rm J = 100\; \rm J$ of kinetic energy would be lost during this collision.

A33.1 g copper object is launched from a 1.5 m 30° steel incline positioned on the floor by being pulled up a string attached to a 50.0 g mass suspended vertically over a pulley. the object is projected towards a glass table where it lands when it is at the point along its trajectory with the lowest speed. it comes to a halt when it clears the opposite edge of the table. it then falls and lands on 9 physics texts each 5 cm thick that are stacked on the floor on the opposite side of the table. assume that the table does not have a ledge and the rectangular object experiences 0.05 n of air resistance as it falls towards the books. how far and how long did the object travel and how fast does it hit the books. assume that at the moment the copper object leaves the incline, the massless string and ideal pulley break off

Isobars are lines of constant or equal pressure on a weather map. they can be used to find areas of low or high pressure over a broad area, and they can tell us how intense the system may be. on weather maps, you may have noticed areas that have a large l or h over a region with lines circling around them. the l stands for low pressure and h stands for high pressure. the lines circling them are isobars. check out the pressure system and isobars over georgia and florida. what is the present weather in this area ? a) clear and sunny b) cold and cloudy c) changing weather d) lots of precipitation
