Two objects of equal mass collide on a horizontal frictionless surface. Before the collision, object A is at rest while object B

has a constant velocity of 12 m/s. After the collision, the two objects are stuck together. What is the speed of the composite body (A B) after the collision

Answer: 6m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum, the change in momentum of the bodies before collision is equal to the change in momentum after collision.

After collision, the two objects will move at the same velocity (v).

Let mA and mB be the mass of the two objects

uA and uB be their velocities before collision.

v be their velocity after collision

Since the two objects has the same mass, mA= mB= m

Also since object A is at rest, its velocity = 0m/s

Velocity of object B = 12m/s

Mathematically,

mAuA + mBuB = (mA+mB )v

m(0) + m(12) = (m+m)v

0+12m = (2m)v

12m = 2mv

12 = 2v

v = 6m/s

Therefore the speed of the composite body (A B) after the collision is 6m/s

What is the concentration of molecular oxygen (O2) in mol/L on a June day in Toronto when atmospheric pressure is 1.0 atm and th
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The concentration of mole evil at oxygen on that day is 0.00858 mol/L

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the concentration of molecular oxygen

The pressure on that day is 1.0 atm

Since oxygen is at a concentration of 21%, the pressure of oxygen will be 21/100 * 1 = 0.21 atm

Now let’s calculate the concentration;

From Ideal gas law;

PV = nRT

This can be written as;

P/RT = n/V

The term n/V refers to concentration;

Let’s make substitutions now;

P = pressure = 0.21 atm

R = molar gas constant = 0.0821 L•atm/mol•k

T = temperature = 25 = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K

Substituting these values, we have;

n/V = C = 0.21/(0.0821 * 298.15) = 0.00858 mol/L

How much electrical potential energy is stored in a capacitor that has 8.0 × 10-10 C of charge on each plate and a potential dif
arsen [322]
THere is a standard relationship that gives this result where the capacity of the capacitor is used:
E=1/2* \frac{Q^2}{C}.
We know though that Q/c=V and thus we can use the relationship:
E=Q*V/2 where we have just substituted in. If we also take into account that Q=VC, we can also get that E=V^2*C/2.
We are given the charge and the potential, so the best expression to use is the middle one.
Substituting, we get that E=1/2*8*10^(-10)*20=8*10^(-9).

The answer is B

How far apart are the fringes in the center of the pattern on a screen 4.3 m away? Express your answer to two significant figure
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

d = \frac{nLembda}{sin(theta)}

Explanation:

This comes from diffrection pattern equation used to locate fringe pattern, i will explain every variable in it here.

n = order of fringe = 0 1 2 3 .. and negative integars as well.

d is sacing between slits.

Theta = angle at which light-Ray is directed towards fringe.

It appears that the distance between consectice fringes would same as the distance between two slits 'd'.

therefore calculating that distance should give us the distance between two fringe patters.

Note we don't use transversal seperation distance here.
