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

Which of the following is the most accurate statement concerning the properties of matter?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

b. they can be observed and measured

Explanation:

Matter is anything that has weight and occupy space. There are three states of matter namely Solid, liquid and gas.

The properties of matter are both physical and chemical in nature. Both properties can be measured and observed. Phhysical properties are anything that can be measured without changing the state of the matter. Example of physical properties includes mass, volume, length, color etc.

Chemical properties is another properties of matter. This is the ability of the states of matters to combine with other substance to form a new product for example, rusting of iron, formation of salt etc.

All this as discussed are both measurable and can be observed.

How much work is needed to lift a barbell that has a weight of 445 N a total of 2 meters off ground
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Total work done to lift barbell = 890 J

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of barbell (F) = 445 N

Height (Distance) = 2 meter

Find:

Total work done to lift barbell = ?

Computation:

⇒ Work = Force(F) × Distance

⇒ Total work done to lift barbell = Weight of barbell × Distance

⇒ Total work done to lift barbell = 445 N × 2 meter

⇒ Total work done to lift barbell = 890 J
