A 5.20 kg chunk of ice is sliding at 13.5 m/s on the floor of an ice-covered valley when it collides with and sticks to another

5.20 kg chunk of ice that is initially at rest. Since the valley is icy, there is no friction. After the collision, the blocks slide partially up a hillside and then slide back down.
how high above the valley floor will the combined chunks go?

Answer:

The chunk went as high as

2.32m above the valley floor

Explanation:

This type of collision between both ice is an example of inelastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved after the ice stuck together.

Applying the principle of energy conservation for the two ice we have based on the scenery

Momentum before impact = momentum after impact

M1U1+M2U2=(M1+M2)V

Given data

Mass of ice 1 M1= 5.20kg

Mass of ice 2 M2= 5.20kg

velocity of ice 1 before impact U1= 13.5 m/s

velocity of ice 2 before impact U2= 0m/s

Velocity of both ice after impact V=?

Inputting our data into the energy conservation formula to solve for V

5.2*13.5+5.2*0=(10.4)V

70.2+0=10.4V

V=70.2/10.4

V=6.75m/s

Therefore the common velocity of both ice is 6.75m/s

Now after impact the chunk slide up a hill to solve for the height it climbs

Let us use the equation of motion

v²=u²-2gh

The negative sign indicates that the chunk moved against gravity

And assuming g=9.81m/s

Initial velocity of the chunk u=0m/s

Substituting we have

6.75²= 0²-2*9.81*h

45.56=19.62h

h=45.56/19.62

h=2.32m

Are light waves longitudinal or transverse
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

There are two types of waves, according to the direction of their oscillation:

- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves

- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

Light waves corresponds to the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes all the different types of electromagnetic waves (which consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave): therefore, they are transverse waves.

Suppose you illuminate two thin slits by monochromatic coherent light in air and find that they produce their first interference
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

1.7323

Explanation:

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to refractive indices and Snell's law.

From the data given we have to:

n_{air}=1

\theta_{liquid} = 19.38\°

\theta_{air}35.09\°

Where n means the index of refraction.

We need to calculate the index of refraction of the liquid, then applying Snell's law we have:

n_1sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2

n_{air}sin\theta_{air} = n_{liquid}sin\theta_{liquid}

n_{liquid} = \frac{n_{air}sin\theta_{air}}{sin\theta_{liquid}}

Replacing the values we have:

n_{liquid}=\frac{(1)sin(35.09)}{sin(19.38)}

n_liquid = 1.7323

Therefore the refractive index for the liquid is 1.7323

A six pack of your favorite beverage (12 fl. oz. cans, assumed to have the same characteristics as water) is placed in a cooler
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Q = 169 BTU

Explanation:

As we know that volume is given as

V = 12 Fl oz

so it is given in liter as

V = 12 fl oz = 0.355 Ltr

now we have six pack of such volume

so total volume is given as

V = 6\times 0.355 Ltr

V = 2.13 ltr

so its mass is given as

m = 2.13 kg

now the change in temperature is given as

\Delta T = 70 - 34 = 36 ^oF

\Delta T = 20^oC

now the heat given to the liquid is given as

Q = ms\Delta T

Q = 2.13(4186)(20)

Q = 1.78 \times 10^5 J

Q = 169 BTU
