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 (→)

The latitude of any location on earth is the angle formed by the two rays drawn from the center of earth to the location and to

Alina [70]

The distance between city a and city b is 833.345 miles.

We know that

1°=60'

The distance of city a from the initial ray is calculated as

x_a=3960*tan45.46°=4024.101 miles

The distance of city b from the initial ray is calculated as

x_b=3960*tan 38.86°=3190.75 miles

Now the distance between city a and b is equal to

4024.101-3190.75=833.345 miles

This is the vertical distance between the cities.

A marble resting near the edge of .90 m high table is given an initial horizontal speed of 1.24 m/s. What will be it’s horizonta

Maru [420]

Answer:

0.53 m

Explanation:

First of all, we have to consider the vertical motion of the ball, in order to find the time it takes for the marble to reach the ground. The initial height is $h=0.90 m$ , the initial vertical velocity is zero, while the acceleration is $g=-9.81 m/s^2$ , so the vertical position at time t is given by

$y(t)=h-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

By demanding y(t)=0, we find the time t at which the ball reaches the ground:

$0=h-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.9 m)}{9.81 m/s^2}}=0.43 s$

Now we can find the horizontal range of the marble: we know the initial horizontal speed (v=1.24 m/s), we know the total time of the motion (t=0.43 s), and since the horizontal speed is constant, the total distance traveled on the horizontal direction is

$x=vt=(1.24 m/s)(0.43 s)=0.53 m$

12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor = how

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor are equivalent to 6 drinks.

Explanation:

In the United States, a standard "drink" of beer has 12 ounces, a standard "drink" of wine has 5 ounces and standard drink of liquor has 1.5 ounces. Then, we obtain the quantity of drinks by dividing the total volume of each drink by its respective unit volume and summing each term. That is:

$N = \frac{12\,oz}{12\,\frac{oz}{dr} }+\frac{12\,oz}{5\,\frac{oz}{dr} }+\frac{3\,oz}{1.5\,\frac{oz}{dr} }$

$N = 1\,dr+2.4\,dr+2\,dr$

$N = 5.4\,dr$

$N = 6\,dr$

12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor are equivalent to 6 drinks.

The top pair of pliers failed to loosen a stubborn bolt, but the bottom pair successfully removed it.

Lesechka [4]

The top pair of pliers failed to loosen a stubborn bolt, but the bottom pair successfully removed it. Because the contact between the bolt and the pliers working surface is less.

<h3>What is mechanical advantage ?</h3>

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system, it is used to obtained efficiency of the given mechanical machine.

The efficiency to open the stubborn bolt depends upon the contact between the working surface of the pliers and the bolt.

The contact between the bolt and the top pair of pliers working surface is less. Its mechanical advantage is less.

Hence, the top pair of pliers failed to loosen a stubborn bolt, but the bottom pair successfully removed it.

To learn more about the mechanical advantage, refer to the link;

Sometimes a person cannot clearly see objects close up or far away. To correct this type of vision, bifocals are often used. The

Rudik [331]

Answer:

1) P₁ = -2 D, 2) P₂ = 6 D

Explanation:

for this exercise in geometric optics let's use the equation of the constructor

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}$

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image, respectively

1) to see a distant object it must be at infinity (p = ∞)

$\frac{1}{f_1} = \frac{1}{q}$

q = f₁

2) for an object located at p = 25 cm

$\frac{1}{f_2} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{q}$

We can that in the two expressions we have the distance to the image, this is the distance where it can be seen clearly in general for a normal person is q = 50 cm

we substitute in the equations

1) f₁ = -50 cm

2)

$\frac{1}{f_2} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{50}$

$\frac{1}{f_2}$ = 0.06

f₂ = 16.67 cm

the expression for the power of the lenses is

P = $\frac{1}{f}$

where the focal length is in meters

1) P₁ = 1/0.50

P₁ = -2 D

2) P₂ = 1 /0.16667

P₂ = 6 D
