The surface is tilted to an angle of 37 degrees from the horizontal, as shown above in Figure 3. The blocks are each given a pus

h so that at the instant shown, they are moving toward each other. ii. At the instant shown in Figure 3, the blocks are moving toward each other with the same speed of 0.35m/s . The blocks collide 0.50 seconds later. What is the speed of the two-block system’s center of mass just before the blocks collide?

Answer:

Incomplete question: "Each block has a mass of 0.2 kg"

The speed of the two-block system's center of mass just before the blocks collide is 2.9489 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

θ = angle of the surface = 37°

m = mass of each block = 0.2 kg

v = speed = 0.35 m/s

t = time to collision = 0.5 s

Question: What is the speed of the two-block system's center of mass just before the blocks collide, vf = ?

Change in momentum:

delta(P)=F*delta(t)

P_{f} -P_{i}=F*delta(t)

2m(v_{f} -v_{i})=F*delta(t)

v_{i} =0.35-0.35=0

It is neccesary calculate the force:

F=(m+m)*g*sin\theta

Here, g = gravity = 9.8 m/s²

F=(0.2+0.2)*9.8*sin37=2.3591N

v_{f} =\frac{F*delta(t)}{2m} =\frac{2.3591*0.5}{2*0.2} =2.9489m/s

It has to be the last one because whenever lights are turned on it decreases because all lights are on at the same time. It's good to just have one light on. It doesn't use as much electricity.

A 5.0-kg block of wood is placed on a 2.0-kg aluminum frying pan. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of both the
Shalnov [3]

Heat required to raise the temperature of a given system is

Q = ms\Delta T

here we know that

m = mass

s = specific heat capacity

\Delta T = change in temperature

now as we know that

mass of wood = 5 kg

mass of aluminium pan = 2 kg

change in temperature = 45 - 20 = 25 degree C

specific heat capacity of wood = 1700 J/kg C

specific heat capacity of aluminium = 900 J/kg C

now here we will find the total heat to raise the temperature of both

Q = m_1s_1\Delta T_1 + m_2s_2\Delta T_2

Q = 5 * 1700 * 25 + 2 * 900 * 25

Q = 212500 + 45000

Q = 257500 J

So heat required to raise the temperature of the system is 257500 J

LASIK eye surgery uses pulses of laser light to shave off tissue from the cornea, reshaping it. A typical LASIK laser emits a 1.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

143 kW

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of the beam, d = 1 mm

Wavelength of the beam, λ = 193 nm

Time used by the pulse, t = 14 ns

Energy of the pulse, U = 2 mJ

Recall that Power can be mathematically calculated using the relation,

Power = Work Done / Time,

To solve this, we apply the formula

P = U / Δt

P = 2*10^-3 J / 14*10^-9 s

P = 142857 W

P = 143 kW

Suppose a sound wave and an electromagnetic wave have the same frequency. Which has the longer wavelength? 1. the electromagneti
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

1. the electromagnetic wave.

Explanation:

Mathematically,

wavelength = velocity ÷ frequency

A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Sound waves are incapable of traveling through a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves of different frequency are called by different names since they have different sources and effects on matter, increasing frequency decreases wavelength.

Sound waves (which obviously travel at the speed of sound) are much slower than electromagnetic waves (which travel at the speed of light.)  

Electromagnetic waves are much faster than sound waves and If the Velocity of the wave increases and the frequency is constant, the wavelength also increases.
