A block, M1=10kg, slides down a smooth, curved incline of height 5m. It collides elastically with another block, M2=5kg, which i

s sitting at the bottom of the incline. Assume the first block comes to rest after the collision. The second box travels over a rough surface (µk = 0.5) for 2m. At the end of the rough surface there is a spring of spring constant 250N/m. The spring is on a frictionless surface. By how much would the second block compress the spring?

Answer:

2.86 m

Explanation:

Given:

M₁ = 10 kg

M₂ = 5 kg

\mu_k = 0.5

height, h = 5 m

distance traveled, s = 2 m

spring constant, k = 250 N/m

now,

the initial velocity of the first block as it approaches the second block

u₁ = √(2 × g × h)

or

u₁ = √(2 × 9.8 × 5)

or

u₁ = 9.89 m/s

let the velocity of second ball be v₂

now from the conservation of momentum, we have

M₁ × u₁ = M₂ × v₂

on substituting the values, we get

10 × 9.89 = 5 × v₂

or

v₂ = 19.79 m/s

now,

let the velocity of mass 2 when it reaches the spring be v₃

from the work energy theorem,  we have

Work done by the friction force = change in kinetic energy of the mass 2

or

0.5\times5\times9.8\times2 = \frac{1}{2}\times5\times( v_3^2-19.79^2)

or

v₃ = 20.27 m/s

now, let the spring is compressed by the distance 'x'

therefore, from the conservation of energy

we have

Energy of the spring =  Kinetic energy of the mass 2

or

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_3^2

on substituting the values, we get

\frac{1}{2}\times250\times x^2=\frac{1}{2}\times5\times20.27^2

or

x = 2.86 m

1. What kind of light phenomena happen due to the refraction of light upon hitting the small crystals that make up cirrus or cir
Rama09 [41]

1. The light phenomena happen due to the refraction of light upon hitting the small crystals that make up cirrus or cirrostratus clouds is called Sundogs.

2.A light phenomena which are formed when light passes through clouds and strikes the ice crystals in them is called Halos.

3.A light phenomenon formed from the combination of several light properties like refraction, reflection, and dispersion is Rainbow.

4.  Rainbow are created after a rain shower and Sun light.

5. A visible accumulations of tiny water droplets or ice crystals.

in the Earth’s atmosphere are called Clouds.

6. There are seven colors in a rainbow.

7. The kind of rainbows are formed when light strikes small raindrops with almost the same size are Supernumerary rainbows.

8.The kind of rainbows are formed when two inner reflections are done instead of one; this causes the reversal of colors in a secondary rainbow in comparison to a primary rainbow are Secondary rainbows.

9. A reflective surface that is curved inward and away from the light source is concave mirror.

10. The kind of mirror are curved outward like the bottom

of a spoon is convex mirror.

<h3>What is reflection?</h3>

When a light strikes on a shiny surface, it reflects back the light ray in the same medium. The phenomenon is called reflection and the ray is called the reflected ray.

Thus, all the questions are answered.

5. Is the following measurement, 9.7 x 104 km East, a vector quantity or a scalar<br> quantity?
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Vector quantity

Explanation:

What is a vector quantity?

-> A vector quantity has both direction and magnitude

What is scalar quantity?

-> S scalar quantity has only magnitude

[] Based on these definitions, 9.7 x 104 km East is a vector quantity because it includes a direction, East.

12 seconds after starting from rest a frewly falling cantaloupe has a speed of
adoni [48]

Answer:

<em>The cantaloupe has a speed of 117.6 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion</u>

It occurs when an object falls under the sole influence of gravity. Any object that is being acted upon solely by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. Free-falling objects do not face air resistance.

If an object is dropped from rest in a free-falling motion, it falls with a constant acceleration called the acceleration of gravity, which value is g = 9.8 m/s^2.

The final velocity of a free-falling object after a time t is given by:

vf=g.t

The cantaloupe has been dropped from rest. We are required to find the speed after t=12 seconds.

Calculate the final speed:

vf=9.8 * 12 = 117.6 m/s

The cantaloupe has a speed of 117.6 m/s
