A steel ball of mass 0.500 kg is fastened to a cord that is 70.0 cm long and fixed at the far end. The ball is then released whe

n the cord is horizontal. At the bottom of its path, the ball strikes a 3.00 kg steel block initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The collision is elastic.
Find
(a) the speed of the ball and
(b) the speed of the block just after the collision.

Answer:

a) v₁fin = 3.7059 m/s   (→)

b) v₂fin = 1.0588 m/s     (→)

Explanation:

a) Given

m₁ = 0.5 Kg

L = 70 cm = 0.7 m

v₁in = 0 m/s   ⇒  Kin = 0 J

v₁fin = ?

h<em>in </em>= L = 0.7 m

h<em>fin </em>= 0 m   ⇒    U<em>fin</em> = 0 J

The speed of the ball before the collision can be obtained as follows

Einitial = Efinal

⇒ Kin + Uin = Kfin + Ufin

⇒ 0 + m*g*h<em>in</em> = 0.5*m*v₁fin² + 0

⇒ v₁fin = √(2*g*h<em>in</em>) = √(2*(9.81 m/s²)*(0.70 m))

⇒ v₁fin = 3.7059 m/s   (→)

b)  Given

m₁ = 0.5 Kg

m₂ = 3.0 Kg

v₁ = 3.7059 m/s    (→)

v₂ = 0 m/s

v₂fin = ?

The speed of the block just after the collision can be obtained using the equation

v₂fin = 2*m₁*v₁ / (m₁ + m₂)

⇒  v₂fin = (2*0.5 Kg*3.7059 m/s) / (0.5 Kg + 3.0 Kg)

⇒  v₂fin = 1.0588 m/s     (→)

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The angular separation equals 0.35^{o}

Explanation:

We have according to Snell's law

n_{1}sin(\theta _{1})=n_{2}sin(\theta _{2})

\therefore \theta _{2}=sin^{-1}(\frac{n_{1}sin(\theta _{1})}{n_{2}})

Using this equation for both the colors separately we have

\theta _{red}=sin^{-1}(\frac{sin(23.90^{o})}{1.62})\\\\\theta _{red}=14.48^{o}

Similarly for violet light we have

\theta _{violet}=sin^{-1}(\frac{sin(23.90^{o})}{1.660})\\\\\theta _{violet}=14.13^{o}

Thus the angular separation becomes

\Delta \theta =14.48-14.13=0.35^{o}

There is a seasaw that's holding two men. The seesaw has a length of 18m that can pivot from a point at its center. Man 1 has a
Alex

Answer:

Distance=  2.3864m

Explanation:

So that the balance is in equilibrium parallel to the floor, we must match the moment each man makes with respect to the pivot point.

In many cases the point of application of force does not coincide with the point of application in the body. In this case the force acts on the object and its structure at a certain distance, by means of an element that transfers that action of this force to the object.

This combination of force applied by the distance to the point of the structure where it is applied is called the moment of force F with respect to the point. The moment will attempt a rotation shift or rotation of the object. The distance from the force to the point of application is called the arm.

Mathematically it is calculated by expression:

M= F×d

The moment caused by the first man is:

M1= 75kg × (9.81m/s²) × 1.75m= 1287.5625 N×m

The moment caused by the second man must be equal to that caused by the first by which:

M2= 1287.5625 N×m= 55kg × (9.81m/s²) × distance ⇒

⇒distance= (1287.5625 N×m)/( (55kg × (9.81m/s²) )= 2.3864m

At this distance from the pivot point, the second should sit down so that the balance is balanced parallel to the ground.

An object is given a very small amount of charge. Which of the following could
spayn [35]

5.4*10^-19 C

Explanation:

For the purposes of this question, charges essentially come in packages that are the size of an electron (or proton since they have the same magnitude of charge). The charge on an electron is -1.6*10^-19

Therefore, any object should have a charge that is a multiple of the charge of an electron - It would not make sense to have a charge equivalent to 1.5 electrons since you can't exactly split the electron in half. So the charge of any integer number of electrons can be transferred to another object.

Charge = q(electron)*n(#electrons)

Since 5.4/1.6 = 3.375, we know that it can not be the right answer because the answer is not an integer.

If you divide every other option listed by the charge of an electron, you will get an integer number.

(16*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 10

(-6.4*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = -4

(4.8*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 3

(5.4*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 3.375

(3.2*10^-19C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 2

etc.

I hope this helps!

A 30.0 kg box hangs from a rope. What is the tension (in N) in the rope if the box has an initial velocity of 2.0 m/s and is slo
hjlf

Answer:

360 N

Explanation:

m = 30kg    u = 2 m/s     a = -2m/s/s

Since the object has an initial velocity of 2 m/s and acceleration of -2 m/s/s

the object will come to rest in 1 second but the force applied in that one second can be calculated by:

F = ma

F = 30 * -2

F = -60 N (the negative sign tells us that the force is acting downwards)

Now, calculating the force applied on the box due to gravity

letting g = -10m/s/s

F = ma

F = 30 * -10

F = -300 N (the negative sign tells us that the force is acting downwards)

Now, calculating the total downward force:

-300 + (-60) = -360 N

<em></em>

<em>Hence, a downward force of 360 N is being applied on the box and since the box did not disconnect from the rope, the rope applied the same amount of force in the opposite direction</em>

Therefore tension on the force = <u>360 N</u>
