Kinetic energy of pieces A and B are 2724 Joule and 5176 Joule respectively.

<h3>What is the relation between the masses of A and B?</h3>
  • Let mass of piece A = Ma

Mass of piece B = Mb

  • Velocities of pieces A and B are Va and Vb respectively.
  • As per conservation of momentum,

Ma×Va = Mb×Vb

  • Here, Ma=1.9Mb

So, 1.9Mb × Va = Mb×Vb

=> 1.9Va = Vb

<h3>What are the kinetic energy of piece A and B?</h3>
  • Expression of kinetic energy of piece A = 1/2 × Ma × Va²
  • Kinetic energy of piece B = 1/2 × Mb × Vb²
  • Total kinetic energy= 7900J

=>1/2 × Ma × Va² + 1/2 × Mb × Vb² = 7900

=> 1/2 × Ma × Va² + 1/2 × (Ma/1.9) × (1.9Va)² = 7900

=> 1/2 × Ma × Va² ×(1+1.9) = 7900 j

=> 1/2 × Ma × Va² = 7900/2.9 = 2724 Joule

  • Kinetic energy of piece B = 7900 - 2724 = 5176 Joule

Thus, we can conclude that the kinetic energy of piece A and B are 2724 Joule and 5176 Joule respectively.

4) Block A has a mass of 3kg and velocity of 13m/s, catching up with a second block B that has a mass of 3kg and is moving with
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Option A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Here momentum is conserved.

That is \left (m_Av_A+m_Bv_B \right )_{initial}=\left (m_Av_A+m_Bv_B \right )_{final}

Substituting values

    3\times 13+3\times 5=3v_A+3\times 8\\\\3v_A=39+15-24\\\\3v_A=30\\\\v_A=10m/s

Speed of block A after collision = 10 m/s

Option A is the correct answer.

Suppose you are testing the buoyancy of different objects. Study the table and choose the object with the greatest buoyant force
Butoxors [25]
According to Archimedes Principle, Buoyant Force is equivalent to the displaced<span> amount of </span><span>fluid, So, Larger the amount of water displaced, more the Buoyant force will be.

In short, Object 3 would have the largest Buoyant Force

Hope this helps!</span>

Suppose you are playing baseball and hit a home run. What forces slow down the ba while it is in motion? If you hit a home run i
mart [117]

Answer:

Air resistance slows down the ball

In space, there would be no air resistance

Explanation:

When an object moves through the air, there is a force acting in the opposite direction to the motion of the ball: this force is called air resistance.

Air resistance is due to the friction between the molecules of air and the molecules at the surface of the object - because of this frictional force, the object is slows down in its motion and loses some energy (which is converted into thermal energy of the surrounding air).

There is also the force of gravity (downward) that acts on the ball: however, this force does not slows down the ball in its motion, instead it accelerates it towards the ground.

In space, however, there is no air and no gravity. This means that there are no forces acting on the ball: therefore, the ball will not be slowed down, and therefore will continue its motion forever, at constant velocity, according to Newton's first law:

<em>An object at rest (or in motion) will stay at rest (or in motion at constant velocity) when the net external force acting on it is zero</em>
