The correct answer is option D, Most people believe that drinking milk can soothe heartburn.

Reason -

Pseudoscience is a science in which facts and belief are considered to be existing but they lack any scientific logical backing.

Here all the three options A, B and C have been proved and well established except the last one. It’s a general belief of people that drinking milk soothes out heartburn but no scientific investigation has yet accepted the fact.

Blocks A (mass 2.00 kg) and B (mass 6.00 kg) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block B is at rest and block

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

av=0.333m/s, U=3.3466J

$v_{A2}=-1.333m/s,\\ v_{B2}=0.667m/s$

Explanation:

a. let $m_A$ be the mass of block A, and $m_B=10.0kg$ be the mass of block B. The initial velocity of A, $\rightarrow v_A_1=2.0m/s$

-The initial momentum =Final momentum since there's no external net forces.

$pA_1+pB_1=pA_2+pB_2\\\\P=mv\\\\\therefore m_Av_A_1+m_Bv_B_1=m_Av_{A2}+m_Bv_{B2}$

Relative velocity before and after collision have the same magnitude but opposite direction (for elastic collisions):

$v_A_1-v_B_1=v_{B2}-v_{A2}$

-Applying the conservation of momentum. The blocks have the same velocity after collision:

$v_{B2}=v_{A2}=v_2\\\\2\times 2+10\times 0=2v_2+10v_2\\\\v_2=0.3333m/s$

#Total Mechanical energy before and after the elastic collision is equal:

$K_1+U_{el,1}=K_2+U_{el,2}\\\\#Springs \ in \ equilibrium \ before \ collision\\\\U_{el,2}=K_1-K_2=0.5m_Av_A_1^2-0.5(m_A+m_B)v_2^2\\\\U_{el,2}=0.5\times 2\times 2^2-0.5(2+10)(0.333)^2\\\\U_{el,2}=3.3466J$

Hence, the maxumim energy stored is U=3.3466J, and the velocity=0.333m/s

b. Taking the end collision:

From a above, $m_A=2.0kg, m_B=10kg, v_A=2.0,v_B_1=0$

We plug these values in the equation:

$m_Av_A_1+m_Bv_B_1=m_Av_{A2}+m_Bv_{B2}$

$2\times2+10\times0=2v_A_2+10v_B_2\\\\2=v_A_2+5v_B_2\\\\#Eqtn 2:\\v_A_1-v_B_1=v_{B2}-v_{A2}\\\\2-0=v_{B2}-v_{A2}\\\\2=v_{B2}-v_{A2}\\\\#Solve \ to \ eliminate \ v_{A2}\\\\6v_{B2}=2.0\\\\v_{B2}==0.667m/s\\\\#Substitute \ to \ get \ v_{A2}\\\\v_{A2}=\frac{4}{6}-2=1.333m/s$

A particle on a spring moves in simple harmonic motion along the x axis between turning points at x1 = 95 cm and x2 = 135 cm. (i

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

(i) $x = 115\,cm$ , (ii) $x = 95\,cm$ , (iii) $x = 95\,cm$

Explanation:

(i) $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ represent the points where particle has a velocity of zero and spring reach maximum deformation, Given the absence of non-conservative force and by the Principle of Energy Conservation, the position where particle is at maximum speed is average of both extreme positions:

$x = 115\,cm$

(ii) Maximum accelerations is reached at $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ .

$x = 95\,cm$

(iii) Greatest net forces exerted on the particle are reached at $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ .

$x = 95\,cm$

allsm [11]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Dopler effect.

The equation is defined by

$f_i = f_0 \frac{c}{c+v}$

Where

$f_h$ = Approaching velocities

$f_i$ = Receding velocities

c = Speed of sound

v = Emitter speed

And

$f_h = f_0 \frac{c}{c+v}$

Therefore using the values given we can find the velocity through,

$\frac{f_h}{f_0}=\frac{c-v}{c+v}$

$v = c(\frac{f_h-f_i}{f_h+f_i})$

Assuming the ratio above, we can use any f_h and f_i with the ratio 2.4 to 1

$v = 353(\frac{2.4-1}{2.4+1})$

$v = 145.35m/s$

Therefore the cars goes to 145.3m/s

If we neglet air resistance for both objects then both will fall parallely(at same time) because time taken by both objects is independent of mass. there is famous experiment i.e"feather coin experiment" . normally we think that heaver objects falls faster but this is wrong concept. it depends on medium in which objects are moving.
