Blocks A (mass 3.00 kg ) and B (mass 14.00 kg , to the right of A) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block

B is moving to the left at 0.500 m/s and block A is moving to the right at 2.00 m/s. The blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. The collision is headon, so all motion before and after it is along a straight line. Let +x be the direction of the initial motion of A.Part A) Find the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers.Part B) Find the velocity of block A when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximumPart C) Find the velocity of block B when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum.Part D) Find the velocity of block A after the blocks have moved apart.Part E) Find the velocity of block B after the blocks have moved apart.

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a crash problem, the first thing we should observe is if the shock is elastic, in this case the total mechanical energy is conserved, that is our case since the blocks separate after the crash

Part A)

   As the mechanical energy is conserved we will write the energy before the crash and at the point of maximum compression (during the crash)

Initial   Em= K1+K2

            Em = ½ ma Voa² + ½ mb Vob²

End      Em = U          speed zero

          U= ½ ma Voa² + ½ mb Vob²

          U= ½  3  2² + ½ 14 (-0.5)²

          U = 7.75 J  

This is the maximum energy stored

Part B  and C

As the stored energy is maximum, the speed of the blocks is zero

      Va=  0 m/s

      Vb =  0 m/s

Part D and E

  For this part we will also use the conservation of the momentum of movement

Before the Shock     Po = ma Voa + mb Vob

After the shock         Pf = ma Vfa + mb Vfb

                 Po = Pf

        ma Voa + mb Vob = ma Vfa + mb Vfb

        3 2 + 14 (-0.5) = 3 Vfa + 14 Vfb

        -1 = 3 Vfa + 14 Vfb

As the shock is elastic, the mechanical energy is conserved let's write it in the same instants

Before Shock         Ko = ½ m to Voa² + ½ mb Vob²

After the crash       Kf  =  ½ m to Vfa² + ½ mb Vfb²

                            Ko = Kf

           ½ ma Voa² + ½ mb Vob² = ½ ma Voa² + ½ mb Vob²

           ½ 3 2² + ½ 14 0.5² = ½ 3 Vfa² + ½ 14 Vfb²

           7.75 = 1.5 Vfa² + 7Vfb²

We have an equation system of two equations and two unknowns that we can solve

        -1 = 3 Vfa + 14 Vfb

        7.75 = 1.5 Vfa² + 7Vfb²

          Vfa = (-1 - 14 Vfb) / 3

          Vfa² = (7.75 -7 Vfb²) /1.5

Equating the two equation and solving you can get Vbf

         (-1-14Vfb)²/9 = (7.75 -7 Vfb²) /1.5

      (1 + 28 Vfb + 196 Vfb²) = (7.75 - 7 Vfb²) 6

      196 Vfb² +28 Vfb +1 +42 Vfb² - 46.5 = 0

      196 Vfb² + 70 Vfb -45.5 = 0

We solve the second degree equation, the correct answer is that the speed decreases and the sign of the velocity of the body of greater mass does not change

A stereo speaker produces a pure \"E\" tone, with a frequency of 329.6 Hz. What is the period of the sound wave produced by the
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

0.003034 s

1.035 m

4.5 m

Explanation:

f = frequency of the tone = 329.6 Hz

T = Time period of the sound wave

we know that, Time period and frequency are related as

T =\frac{1}{f}\\T =\frac{1}{329.6}\\T = 0.003034 s

v = speed of the sound in the air = 341 ms⁻¹

wavelength of the sound is given as

\lambda =\frac{v}{f} \\\lambda =\frac{341}{329.6}\\\lambda = 1.035 m

v = speed of the sound in the water = 1480 ms⁻¹

wavelength of the sound in water is given as

\lambda =\frac{v}{f} \\\lambda =\frac{1480}{329.6}\\\lambda = 4.5 m

If Scobie could drive a Jetson's flying car at a constant speed of 160.0 km/hr across oceans and space, approximately how long w
DochEvi [55]

Scobie will take 10 days to drive around Earth's equator.

To calculate the time that takes Scobie to drive around Earth's equator we need to find the distance, which is given by the equation of a circumference:

d = 2\pi r

<em>Where:</em>

r: is the Earth's radius = 6371 km

Then, the distance is:

d = 2\pi r = 2\pi*6371 km = 40030.2 km

Now, if we divide the above distance by the speed of the car we can find the time:

t = \frac{d}{v} = \frac{40030.2 km}{160.0 km/h} = 250.2 h*\frac{1 d}{24 h} = 10 d

Therefore, Scobie will take 10 days to drive around Earth's equator.

Monochromatic light of wavelength 385 nm is incident on a narrow slit. On a screen 3.00 m away, the distance between the second
LiRa [457]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the concept of overlap and constructive interference.

For this purpose we have that the constructive interference in waves can be expressed under the function

a sin\theta = m\lambda

Where

a = Width of the slit

d = Distance of slit to screen

m = Number of order which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum

\theta = Angle between incident rays and scatter planes

At the same time the distance on the screen from the central point, would be

sin\theta = \frac{y}{d}

Where y = Represents the distance on the screen from the central point

PART A ) From the previous equation if we arrange to find the angle we have that

\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{y}{d})

\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.4*10^{-2}}{3})

\theta = 0.2673\°

PART B) Equation both equations we have

a sin\theta = m\lambda

a \frac{y}{d} = m\lambda

Re-arrange to find a,

a = \frac{(2)(385*10^{-9})(3)}{(1.4*10^{-2})}

a = 1.65*10^{-4}m

How have the competing explanations' experiments on atoms affected the development of the atomic model?
olga2289 [7]

Answer

Competing explanations' experiments on atoms gave a perfect modal of an atom

Explanation

There is a long story of atom. Different scientist gave different theories related to atomic modal but no one individually gave a perfect modal they perfect each other work and finally we got a perfect modal of atom.

Here is a short story of atom

in 400 B.C.E, Democritus was the first philosopher who gave the concept of atom. He believes that everything is made up of tiny spheres  and these spheres are known as atoms.

in 1803, Dalton said that atoms of an element are similar. For example all atoms of carbon are similar.

in 1904 J. J. Thomson proposed that atom is sphere in which positively charged matter is filled and electrons are randomly scattered in that positively charged matter.

in 1911, Rutherford gave the concept of nucleus he believed that at the center of atoms all positively charged  particles are present and this center is known as nucleus. He said that negatively charge electrons revolves around the nucleus in particular orbit.

In 1913, Niels Bohr gave a new model he believes that atomic model is similar to planetary modal. He believed that the electrons in an atom revolves around  the nucleus in sets of orbits in a similar manner like the planets revolves around the sun.

In 1919, Rutherford gave the concept of proton.  

In 1932, James Chadwick gives the concept of neutron.

In this way different scientist gave different theories related to atoms and finally they all gave a perfect modal of atom.

A planet in elliptical orbit around a star moves from the point in its orbit furthest from the star (A) to the closest point (P)
Virty [35]

Answer:

Zero work done,since the body isn't acting against  or by gravity.

Explanation:

Gravitational force is usually  considered as work done against gravity (-ve) and work by gravity ( +ve ) and also When work isn't done by or against gravity work done in this case is zero.

Gravitational force can be define as that force that attracts a body to any other phyical body or system that have mass.

The planet been considered as our system in this case is assumed to have mass, and ought to demonstrate such properties associated with gravitational force in such system. Such properties include the return of every object been thrown up as a result of gravity acting downwards. The orbiting nature of object along an elliptical part when gravitational force isn't acting on the body and it is assumed to be zero.
