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.

Suppose you want to to double a copper wire's resistance. To what temperature, in degrees Celsius, must you raise it if it is or
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

T=280.41 °C

Explanation:

Given that

At T= 24°C Resistance =Ro

Lets take at temperature T resistance is 2Ro

We know that resistance R given as

R= Ro(1+αΔT)

R-Ro=Ro αΔT

For copper wire

α(coefficient of Resistance) = 3.9 x 10⁻³ /°C

Given that at temperature T

R= 2Ro

Now by putting the values

R-Ro=Ro αΔT

2Ro-Ro=Ro αΔT

1 = αΔT

1 = 3.9 x 10⁻³ x ΔT

ΔT = 256.41 °C

T- 24 = 256.41 °C

T=280.41 °C

So the final temperature is 280.41 °C.

Which formation is one feature of karst topography?
steposvetlana [31]
Karst is a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes and caves. It has also been documented for more weathering- resistant rocks, such as quartzite, given the right conditions.

uysha [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Frictional force is responsible for running of car and buses on roads.

2.Gravitational force exists between astronauts in space.

3. Magnetic for is responsible to attract the iron objects using a magnet

4.Electrostatic force is responsible for fiber to stick on the skin.This force occurs due to the presence of charge.

5.When a person is pushing a trolley then object experience a normal reaction from ground.

6.Gravitational force makes the planet to move in their orbits.

A backyard swimming pool with a circular base of diameter 6.00m is filled to depth 1.50m. (b) Two persons with combined mass 150
Mashutka [201]

The pressure increase at the bottom of the pool after they enter the pool and float is 106.103 Pa.

<h3>What is absolute pressure?</h3>

Absolute pressure is the force that exists in a space when there is no matter present, or when there is a perfect vacuum. This absolute zero serves as the baseline for measurements in absolute pressure. The measurement of barometric pressure is the greatest illustration of an absolute referenced pressure. In order to determine absolute pressure, a complete vacuum is used. In contrast, gauge pressure is the amount of pressure that is measured in relation to atmospheric pressure, also referred to as barometric pressure.

given,

diameter = 6 m

depth = h = 1.5 m

Atmospheric pressure = P₀ = 10⁵ Pa

a) absolute pressure

P = P₀ + ρ g h

P = 10⁵ + 1000 x 10 x 1.5

P = 1.15 x 10⁵ Pa

b) When two person enters into the pool,

mass of the two person = 150 Kg

weight of water level displaced exists equal to the weight of person.

\rho \mathrm{Vg}=2 \mathrm{mg} \\

V=\frac{2 m}{\rho} \\

V=\frac{2 \times 150}{1000} \\

\mathrm{~V}=0.3 \mathrm{~m}^3

Area of pool $=\frac{\pi}{4} d^2$

&=\frac{\pi}{4} \times 6^2 \\

&=28.27 \mathrm{~m}^2

Height of the water rise

h &=\frac{V}{A} \\

h &=\frac{0.3}{28.27} \\

& \mathrm{~h}=0.0106 \mathrm{~m}

  • Pressure increased

P = ρ g h

P = 1000 x 10 x 0.0106

P = 106.103 Pa
