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     (→)

A harmonic oscillator starts with an amplitude of 20.0 cm. After 10.0 s, the amplitude decreases to 15.0 cm. If the linear dampi
tia_tia [17]

Answer: the amount of mass is oscillating is 34.8 kg

Explanation:

Given that;

amplitude A = 20.0 cm

time t = 10 s

amplitude decreases x = 15.0 cm

damping coefficient b = 2.00 N.s/m

amount of mass is oscillating = ?

we know that; amplitude can be expressed as;

x = Ae^-(∝t)

we substitute

15 = 20e^-∝(10)

∝ = 0.02877 s⁻¹

Hence mass m will be;

m = b/2∝

we substitute

m = (2 N.s/m) / ( 2 × 0.02877 s⁻¹)

m = 34.8 kg

Therefore the amount of mass is oscillating is 34.8 kg

Apakah yang berlaku kepada kekuatan medan magnet jika satu lagi sel kering 1.5 v ditambahkan​
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The magnetic field is doubled.

Explanation:

What happens to the strength of the magnetic field if one more 1.5 v dry cell is added?

The magnetic field due to a current carrying conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing in the wire.

If we connect one more battery of 1.5 V so the voltage is doubled and according to the Ohm's law, as the resistance of wire is constant, so the current in the wire is also doubled.

When the current doubles, the magnetic field produced by the wire is also  doubled.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

176.4 m

Explanation:

U = 0, t = 6s, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Use second equation of motion

H = ut + 1/2 gt^2

H = 0 + 0.5 × 9.8 × 6 × 6

H = 176.4 m

It is the displacement from the point of dropping of object.
