Answer:

a. 37.7 kgm/s b. 0.94 m/s c. -528.85 J

Explanation:

a. The initial momentum of block 1 of m₁ = 1.30 kg with speed v₁ = 29.0 m/s is p₁ = m₁v₁ = 1.30 kg × 29.0 m/s = 37.7 kgm/s

The initial momentum of block 2 of m₁ = 39.0 kg with speed v₂ = 0 m/s since it is initially at rest is p₁ = m₁v₁ = 39.0 kg × 0 m/s = 0 kgm/s

So, the magnitude of the total initial momentum of the two-block system = (37.7 + 0) kgm/s = 37.7 kgm/s

b. Since the blocks stick together after the collision, their final momentum is p₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v where v is the final speed of the two-block system.

p₂ = (1.3 + 39.0)v = 40.3v

From the principle of conservation of momentum,

p₁ = p₂

37.7 kgm/s = 40.3v

v = 37.7/40.3 = 0.94 m/s

So the final velocity of the two-block system is 0.94 m/s

c. The change in kinetic energy of the two-block system is ΔK = K₂ - K₁ where K₂ = final kinetic energy of the two-block system = 1/2(m₁ + m₂)v² and K₁ = final kinetic energy of the two-block system = 1/2m₁v₁²

So, ΔK = K₂ - K₁ = 1/2(m₁ + m₂)v² - 1/2m₁v₁² = 1/2(1.3 + 39.0) × 0.94² - 1/2 × 1.3 × 29.0² = 17.805 J - 546.65 J = -528.845 J ≅ -528.85 J

What type of heat do we get from sun
seraphim [82]
The type of heat that the Sun emits is called UV (Ultra Violet) rays. This is a natural type of heat, but it can also be dangerous if you expose yourself to too much UV heat, causing "sunburns", or even skin cancer.

Charge q is accelerated starting from rest up to speed v through the potential difference V. What speed will charge q have after
adoni [48]

Answer: v = 1.19 * 10^{6} m/s

Explanation: q = magnitude of electronic charge = 1.609 * 10^{-19} c

mass of an electronic charge = 9.10 * 10^{-31} kg

V= potential difference = 4V

v = velocity of electron

by using the work- energy theorem which states that the kinetic energy of the the electron must equal the work done use in accelerating the electron.

kinetic energy = \frac{mv^{2} }{2},  potential energy = qV

hence, \frac{mv^{2} }{2} = qV

\frac{9.10 *10^{-31} * v^{2}  }{2} = 1.609 * 10^{-16} * 4\\\\\\\\9.10*10^{-31}  * v^{2} = 2 * 1.609 *10^{-16} * 4\\\\\\9.10 *10^{-31} * v^{2} = 1.287 *10^{-15} \\\\v^{2} = \frac{1.287 *10^{-15} }{9.10 *10^{31} } \\\\v^{2} = 1.414*10^{15} \\\\v = \sqrt{1.414*10^{15} } \\\\v = 1.19 * 10^{6} m/s
