<span>a = 25-13/6 = 12/6 = 2 m/s^2
Av speed: 25+13/2 = 38/2 = 19 m/sec
Dist = speed * time
19 * 6 = 114 meters</span>

What if m1 is initially moving at 3.4 m/s while m2 is initially at rest? (a) find the maximum spring compression in this case?

Lisa [10]

<span>Ans : Initial E = KE = Â˝mvÂ˛ = Â˝ * 1.2kg * (2.2m/s)Â˛ = 2.9 J max spring compression where both velocities are the same: conserve momentum: 1.2kg * 2.2m/s = (1.2 + 3.2)kg * v â†’ v = 0.6 m/s which means the combined KE = Â˝ * (1.2 + 3.2)kg * (0.6m/s)Â˛ = 0.79 J The remaining energy went into the spring: U = (2.9 - 0.79) J = 2.1 J = Â˝kxÂ˛ = Â˝ * 554N/m * xÂ˛ x = 0.0076 m â† (a)</span>

John and Caroline go out for a walk one day. This graph represents their distance from home.

Serga [27]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

We have velocity of a body = Change in position/ Time.

Considering first portion of graph,

Change in position = 30 - 0 = 30 m

Time = 0.75 hours = 45 minutes = 2700 seconds

Velocity = 30/2700 = 0.011 m/s

Considering second portion of graph,

Change in position = 30 - 30 = 0 m

Time = 0.5 hours = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds

Velocity = 0/1800 = 0 m/s

Considering third portion of graph,

Change in position = 0 - 30 = -30 m

Time = 0.75 hours = 45 minutes = 2700 seconds

Velocity = -30/2700 = -0.011 m/s

So firstly they walked in one direction(positive direction), then they were still(velocity is zero), then they walked in the opposite direction( velocity is negative).

Option C is the correct answer.

On a horizontal frictionless surface, a small block with mass 0.200 kg has a collision with a block of mass 0.400 kg. Immediatel

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:48.2 Joules

Explanation:

Given

two masses of 0.2 kg and 0.4 kg collide with each other

after collision 0.2 kg deflect 30 north of east and 0.4 kg deflects 53.1 south of east

Velocity of 0.2 kg mass is

$v_{0.2}=12\cos (30)\hat{i}+12\sin (30)\hat{j}$

$|v_{0.2}|=11.99 m/s\approx 12 m/s$

Velocity of 0.4 kg mass

$v_{0.4}=13\cos (53.1)\hat{i}-12\sin (53.1)\hat{j}$

$|v_{0.4}|=12.99 m/s\approx 13 m/s$

Thus total Kinetic energy $=\frac{0.2\times 12^2}{2}+\frac{0.4\times 13^2}{2}$

Kinetic energy=48.2 J

A plastic rod is charged up by rubbing a wool cloth, and brought to an initially neutral metallic sphere that is insulated from

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Yes option A is right.

Explanation:

As we know that the "Opposite charges attract and like charges repel eachother". So based upon that fact we find out the sphere will be repelled or attract by the rod. As in this case metallic sphere was neutral initially but then we touched the rod with it. Although it was for few seconds but the charge is transferred to the sphere. Now both sphere and the rod have charge. After the seperation we look towards their respond If both have the opposite charge they will attract eachother. But here in this case they repel because they have the same charge, as we have charged the neutral sphere with the rod so we already know that they have the same charges that is why they are repelling eachother.

Insulation from the ground means that blocking the way of charges or free electrons from earth to metallic sphere and vice versa. As there exists free electrons and charges in earth they would flow into the metallic objects. So for more precise and accurate experiments we insulate the metals or prevent the metals from touching the earth surface to avoid the flow of charges through them. I hope it will help you.
