A mass m is at rest on top of the frictionless incline of mass M. It is initially at a height h above the surface. After m slide

s down the incline, the incline moves to the left while m moves to the right with a velocity vo. The surface m and M slide along are frictionless. a) Find an expression for the velocity, v, of the incline after the mass m slides down. Your expression should only contain m, M, and vo. b) Find an expression for the height h the mass m was originally released from. Your expression should only contain m, M, vo, and various constants.

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

Apply the law of conservation of momentum

Since there is no external force(friction) oon the system, Momentum in horizontal direction must remain constant.

Initial Momentum = Final Momentum

M(0) + m(0) = M(-V) + mv_0\\\\0=-MV+mv_0\\\\V=\frac{mv_0}{M}

b)

Apply law of conservation of energy

Loss in Potential Energy = Gain in Kinetic Energy

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2+\fac{1}{2}MV^2\\\\mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2+\fac{1}{2}M(\frac{mv_0}{M})^2\\\\mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2+\fac{1}{2}\frac{m^2v_0^2}{M}\\\\gh=\frac{v^2_0}{2}+\frac{v^2_0}{2}\frac{m}{M}\\\\h=\frac{v_0^2}{2g}[1+\frac{m}{M}]

What is the potential difference (voltage) if the resistance of 20 ohms produces a current of 10 amperes?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

200 volts

Explanation:

Ohm's Law: V = IR

I = 10 A

R = 20 ohms

V = (10)(20) = 200 volts

At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car’s skid mark to be 88 m long. The accident occurred on a rainy
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The the speed of the car is 26.91 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

distance d = 88 m

Kinetic friction = 0.42

We need to calculate the the speed of the car

Using  the work-energy principle

work done = change in kinetic energy

W=\Delta K.E

\mu\ mg\times d=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v^2=2\mu g d

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{2\times0.42\times9.8\times88}

v=26.91\ m/s

Hence, The the speed of the car is 26.91 m/s.

What does each system help you do?
Maru [420]

Explanation:

1.The somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles. 

2. The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions, such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, ect...

3. Sympathetic Division is a term used by researchers and medical practitioners to describe the subdivision of the autonomic nervous system (that controls involuntary and automatic physical reactions) that responds to emergency situations by mobilizing and controlling the energy necessary to cope with the situation.

4. The part of the autonomic nervous system that tends to act in opposition to the sympathetic nervous system, as by slowing down the heart and dilating the blood vessels. It also regulates the function of many glands, such as those that produce tears and saliva.

5. a regulatory substance produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood or sap to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action.
