Two identical blocks, A and B, are on a horizontal surface, as shown above. There is negligible friction between the surface and

the blocks. As shown in Figure 1, block A is initially moving toward block B with speed vA=v0 and block B is initially at rest. Figure 2 shows the blocks in contact as they collide a short time later. In both figures, the location of the center of mass of the two-block system is indicated by the X that is labeled CM.
During the time that the blocks are in contact, describe whether the center of mass of the two-block system is speeding up, slowing down, or staying the same. ____ Speeding up ____ Slowing down ____ Staying the same Briefly describe, in terms of a basic law of physics, whether the center of mass of the two-block system is speeding up,

Answer:

  the speed of the center of mass stays the same

Explanation:

In a system with no energy loss, momentum is conserved if the mass remains constant. The system described has no change in mass, and energy loss is considered negligible. Hence the product of the total mass and the velocity of its center will be a constant. The center of mass stays the same speed.

A straight railroad track is being built to connect two cities. the measured distance of the track between the two cities is 160
elena55 [62]
Let point A be 0.0 miles (first city)
Let point B be 160.5 miles (first city to second city)
Let point C be 28.5 miles (first city to mail stop)

Take C – A = C [28.5 - 0.0 = 28.5] (This checks the distance between city 1 and Mail stop) 

Then Take B – C = Distance from the first city to the second city [160.5 - 28.5 = 132 Miles]


Answer: The Mail stop is 132 miles from the Second City.

navik [9.2K]

D. a and c

Explanation:

To make a generator out of a bicycle, Devon will need two magnets and coil of wire.

There is a close knit relationship between magnetism and electricity. Electricity can be generated by a wire changing flux in the presence of a magnetic field.

  • The magnets provide magnetic field for the process.
  • The coil of wire is placed in between the magnetic field generated by the magnets.
  • The bicycle pedal is connected to the set up to turn the wire in between the magnetic fields.
  • This way, electricity is produced.

What is the amount of charge a capacitor can store per volt of potential difference?
sladkih [1.3K]

The amount of charge a capacitor can store per volt of potential difference is called the capacitance of the capacitor.

<h3>What is the capacitance?</h3>

The capacitance has to do with the amount of charge that is stored by a capacitor. We know that a capacitor is a device that can be used to store electric charges. We have in it, two capacitors separated by a dielectric material.

Hence, the amount of charge a capacitor can store per volt of potential difference is called the capacitance of the capacitor.
