Two large blocks of wood are sliding toward each other on the frictionless surface of a frozen pond. Block a has mass 4. 00 kg a

nd is initially sliding east at 2. 00 m/s. Block b has mass 6. 00 kg and is initially sliding west at 2. 50 m/s. The blocks collide head-on. After the collision block b is sliding east at 0. 50 m/s.

Two large blocks of wood are sliding towards each other on the frictionless surface of a frozen pond. The blocks collide head-on. Then the decrease in total kinetic energy after the collision is 13.18 J.

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, we know, Pi = Pf

where, Pi is total initial momentum

Pf is total final momentum

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = M₁V₁ + M₂V₂

4*2 + 6*(-2.5) = 4* V₁ + 6*(0.5)

4V₁ = 8 - 15 -3

V₁ = -2.5 m/s

Now, let us calculate the initial and final kinetic energies.

The formula to find out kinetic energy is K.E = 1/2 mv²

Initial kinetic energy = 1/2* 4* 2² + 1/2* 6* (-2.5)² = 26.75 J

Final kinetic energy = 1/2* 4* 2.5² + 1/2* 6* (-0.5)² = 13.57 J

The difference in total kinetic energy is K₂ - K₁ = (13.57 - 26.75) = -13.18 J

Thus, the decrease in total kinetic energy of the given blocks after collision is 13.18 J.

HELP ME 20 POINTS!!!Assume that the average volume of an adult human body is one-tenth
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

,Assume that the average volume of an adult human body is one-tenth

cubic meter (0.10 m) and that there are two billion (2.0 x 109)

adults in the world.

a. What would be the total volume of all the adults in the world?

b. Compute the length of one edge of a cubic container that has a

volume equal to the volume of all the adults in the world.

Consider a container of oxygen gas at a temperature of 23°C that is 1.00 m tall. Compare the gravitational potential energy of a
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Yes, it is reasonable to neglect it.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, a single molecule of oxygen weights 32 g (diatomic oxygen) thus, the mass of kilograms is (consider Avogadro's number):

m=1molec*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}molec} *\frac{32g}{1mol}*\frac{1kg}{1000g}=5.31x10^{-26}kg

After that, we compute the potential energy 1.00 m above the reference point:

U=mhg=5.31x10^{-26}kg*1.00m*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}=5.2x10^{-25}J

Then, we compute the average kinetic energy at the specified temperature:

K=\frac{3}{2}\frac{R}{Na}T

Whereas N_A stands for the Avogadro's number for which we have:

K=\frac{3}{2} \frac{8.314\frac{J}{mol*K}}{6.022x10^{23}/mol}*(23+273)K\\ \\K=6.13x10^{-21}J

In such a way, since the average kinetic energy energy is about 12000 times higher than the potential energy, it turns out reasonable to neglect the potential energy.

Regards.

If you could shine a very powerful flashlight beam toward the Moon, estimate the diameter of the beam when it reaches the Moon.
grin007 [14]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the Rayleigh Criterion (Angular resolution)criterion. This conceptos describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution.  By definition is defined as:

\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{d}

Where,

\lambda= Wavelength

d = Width of the slit

\theta= Angular resolution

Through the arc length we can find the radius, which would be given according to the length and angle previously described.

The radius of the beam on the moon is

r = l\theta

Relacing \theta

r = l(\frac{1.22\lambda}{d})

r = 1.22\frac{l\lambda}{d}

Replacing with our values we have that,

r = 1.22*(\frac{(384*10^3km)(\frac{1000m}{1km})(550*10^{-9}m)}{7*10^{{-2}}})

r = 3680.91m

Therefore the diameter of the beam on the moon is

d = 2r

d = 2 * (3690.91)

d = 7361.8285m

Hence, the diameter of the beam when it reaches the moon is 7361.82m
