Answer:

option B.

Explanation:

given,

Mass of the blocks 1 = M

Mass of the blocks 1 = 2 M.

initial speed of the block 1= v

initial speed of the block 2 = - v

where V is the final speed of the blocks after collision

using conservation of momentum

M v + 2 M (-v) =  (M + 2 M) V

3 M V = - M v    

V = -\dfrac{v}{3}      

velocity of the blocks after collision is equal to -v/3 m/s

hence, the correct answer is option B.

If a boat and its riders have a mass of 1100 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.3 m/s how much work does Sam do to stop it
andriy [413]

Answer:

-929.5Joules

Explanation:

To get the work done by sam, we will calculate the kinetic energy of sam expressed as;

KE = 1/2mv²

m is the mass = 1100kg

v is the velocity = 1.3m/s

KE = 1/2(1100)(1.3)²

KE = 550(1.69)

KE = 929.5Joules

Since Sam is opposing the direction of movement, work done by him will be a negative work i.e -929.5Joules

The electron's velocity at that instant is purely horizontal with a magnitude of 2 \times 10^5 ~\text{m/s}2×10 ​5 ​​ m/s then ho
Lesechka [4]

Complete question:

At a particular instant, an electron is located at point (P) in a region of space with a uniform magnetic field that is directed vertically and has a magnitude of 3.47 mT. The electron's velocity at that instant is purely horizontal with a magnitude of 2×10​⁵​​ m/s then how long will it take for the particle to pass through point (P) again? Give your answer in nanoseconds.

[<em>Assume that this experiment takes place in deep space so that the effect of gravity is negligible.</em>]

Answer:

The time it will take the particle to pass through point (P) again is 1.639 ns.

Explanation:

F = qvB

Also;

F = \frac{MV}{t}

solving this two equations together;

\frac{MV}{t} = qVB\\\\t = \frac{MV}{qVB} = \frac{M}{qB}

where;

m is the mass of electron = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

q is the charge of electron = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

B is the strength of the magnetic field = 3.47 x 10⁻³ T

substitute these values and solve for t

t = \frac{M}{qB} = \frac{9.11 *10^{-31}}{1.602*10^{-19}*3.47*10^{-3}} = 1.639 *10^{-9}  \ s \ = 1.639 \ ns

Therefore, the time it will take the particle to pass through point (P) again is 1.639 ns.

which of these changes does a submarine encounter as it returns from the bottom of the ocean to the surface of the ocean
fiasKO [112]

a.the amount of sunlight increases.

Explanation:

As a submarine rises to the surface, the change it encounters that is true from the given options is that the amount of sunlight increases.

The bottom of the ocean is dark and receives little to no sunlight due to the scattering of the rays by ocean water.

  • As the submarine rises, the volume of water column on it decreases and the pressure on it decreases too.
  • Also, the temperature rises steadily to the surface.

A wheel accelerates from rest to 34.7 rad/s at a rate of 47.0 rad/s^2. Through what angle (in radians) did the wheel turn while
dem82 [27]

12.8 rad

Explanation:

The angular displacement \theta through which the wheel turned can be determined from the equation below:

\omega^2 = \omega_0^2 + 2\alpha\theta (1)

where

\omega_0 = 0

\omega = 34.7\:\text{rad/s}

\alpha = 47.0\:\text{rad/s}^2

Using these values, we can solve for \theta from Eqn(1) as follows:

2\alpha\theta = \omega^2 - \omega_0^2

or

\theta = \dfrac{\omega^2 - \omega_0^2}{2\alpha}

\:\:\:\:= \dfrac{(34.7\:\text{rad/s})^2 - 0}{2(47.0\:\text{rad/s}^2)}

\:\:\:\:= 12.8\:\text{rad}
