I WIL A 2.00-kg object traveling east at 20.0 m/s collides with a 3.00-kg object traveling west at 10.0 m/s. After the collision

, the 2.00-kg object has a velocity 5.00 m/s to the west. How much kinetic energy was lost during the collision? . .

Using the following given values:

Object 1:
Mass = M1 = 2 kg
Velocity before collision = Vb1 = 20 m/s
Velocity after collision = Va1 = -5 m/s 

Object 2:
Mass = M2 = 3 kg
Velocity before collision = Vb2 = -10 m/s
Velocity after collision = Va2 = ? m/s<span> 
</span>
Obtaining Va2 via law of conservation of momentum:

total momentum after collision = total momentum before collision
M1 * Va1 + M2 * Va2 = M1 * Vb1 + M2 * Vb2
2*-5 + 3Va2 = 2*20 + 3*-10
Va2 = 6.67

Total kinetic energy before collision:

KE1 = (1/2)*M1*Vb1^2 + (1/2)*M2*Vb2^2
<span>KE1 = (1/2)*2*(20)^2 + (1/2)*3*(-10)^2
KE1 = 550 J

</span>Total kinetic energy after collision:

KE2 = (1/2)*M1*Va1^2 + (1/2)*M2*Va2^2
<span>KE2 = (1/2)*2*(-5)^2 + (1/2)*3*(6.67)^2
KE2 = 91.73 J
</span>
Total kinetic energy lost:

Energy lost = KE1 - KE2 = 550 - 91.73 = 458.27 J

A 5.67-kg block of wood is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 150 N/m. The block is free to slide on a horizontal fr
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

v=0.94 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

M= 5.67 kg

k= 150 N/m

m=1 kg

μ = 0.45

The maximum acceleration of upper block can be μ g.

 a= μ g                          ( g = 10 m/s²)

The maximum acceleration of system will ω²X.

ω = natural frequency

X=maximum displacement

For top stop slipping

μ g  =ω²X

We know for spring mass system natural frequency given as

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{M+m}}

By putting the values

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{150}{5.67+1}}

ω = 4.47 rad/s

μ g  =ω²X

By putting the values

0.45 x 10 = 4.47² X

X = 0.2 m

From energy conservation

\dfrac{1}{2}kX^2=\dfrac{1}{2}(m+M)v^2

kX^2=(m+M)v^2

150 x 0.2²=6.67 v²

v=0.94 m/s

This is the maximum speed of system.

Question 4. A tuning fork ‘A’ produces 6 beats/sec with another fork ‘B’ of un-known frequency. On
8090 [49]

Clever problem.

We know that the beat frequency is the DIFFERENCE between the frequencies of the two tuning forks.  So if Fork-A is 256 Hz and the beat is      6 Hz, then Fork-B has to be EITHER 250 Hz OR 262 Hz.  But which one is it ?

Well, loading Fork-B with wax increases its mass and makes it vibrate SLOWER, and when that happens, the beat drops to 5 Hz.  That means that when Fork-B slowed down, its frequency got CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A ... their DIFFERENCE dropped from 6 Hz to 5 Hz.

If slowing down Fork-B pushed it CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A, then its natural frequency must be ABOVE Fork-A.

The natural frequency of Fork-B, after it gets cleaned up and returns to its normal condition, is 262 Hz.  While it was loaded with wax, it was 261 Hz.

How does geomagnetism help scientist understand the motion of earth’s plates?
xeze [42]

Answer:

As the "plates" on each side of ridges in the seafloor are pulled away, lava comes up from the middle, hardens and "records" the current magnetic field.

What are the two requirements of a circuit so that current will flow?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

-The battery-the power source

-Closed conducting loop

Explanation:

-To produce an electric current, the following requirements must be met:

-A battery-This is the energy source than will do work on the charge thus moving from a low energy location to high energy location.

-Closed Conducting Loop-The loop is usually made of copper wires due to their high electric conductivity.
