Answer:

(a) The value of the ratio m₁/m₂ is 0.581

(b)  the acceleration of the combined masses is 1.139 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

The acceleration of force applied to M₁, a₁ = 3.10 m/s²

The same force applied to M₂ has acceleration, a₂ = 1.80 m/s²

Let this force = F

According Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

(a) the value of the ratio m₁/m₂

since the applied force is same in both cases,  M₁a₁ = M₂a₂

\frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{a_2}{a_1} \\\\\frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{1.8}{3.1} \\\\\frac{m_1}{m_2} = 0.581

(b) the acceleration of m₁ and m₂ combined as one object under the action force F

F = ma

a = \frac{F}{M} \\\\a =  \frac{F}{m_1 + m_2} \\\\a = \frac{F}{0.581m_2 + m_2}\\\\a = \frac{F}{1.581m_2}

But, m_2 = \frac{F}{a_2} \\\\a = \frac{F}{1.581m_2} =  \frac{F*a_2}{1.581F} \\\\a = \frac{a_2}{1.581} \\\\a = \frac{1.8}{1.581} = 1.139 \ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the combined masses is 1.139 m/s²

A(n) 0.5 kg soccer ball approaches a player horizontally with a speed of 10.6 m/s. The player illegally strikes the ball with he
Llana [10]

Answer: - 25.2 kgm/s

Explanation: The mass of the ball is 0.5kg, and the initial velocity = 10.6m/s.

The final velocity is in opposite direction of the initial hence final velocity (v) = - 19.9 m/s

Impulse = change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum.

Final momentum = mass × final velocity

Final momentum = - 19.9 × 0.5

Final momentum = - 9.95 kgm/s

Initial momentum = mass × initial velocity

Initial momentum = 0.5 × 10.6 = 5.3kgm/s

Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum = - 19.9 - 5.3

Change in momentum = - 25.2 kgm/s

The negative sign implies that the change in momentum is the opposite direction relative to the first.

Which of the following electromagnetic waves has the shortest wavelength?
mamaluj [8]
The human eye sees radio waves with a very short wavelength, which is another way of saying high-frequency waves. The word "ultra" should queue you in that ultraviolet waves are higher frequency than just violet waves. Violet is sorta purplish or blueish, which is the highest frequency or "color" that our eyes can see. So ultraviolet is higher frequency than visible light, which is the same thing as "color." On the other hand, red is the lowest frequency or highest wavelength that our eyes can see. And "Infra" means lower than red, so, infrared waves are "colors" or frequencies, smaller than visible light. To determine where microwaves fall under look up "Electromagnetic Spectrum." Good luck!
