a) The initial speed of the clay is 30 m/s

b) The final velocity of the block increases (40 m/s)

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, in absence of external forces (=no friction), the total momentum of the clay + block system is conserved before and after the collision. Therefore, we can write:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v$

where:

$m_1 = 0.10 kg$ is the mass of the clay

$u_1$ is the initial velocity of the clay

$m_2 = 0.10 kg$ is the mass of the wood block

$u_2 = 0$ is the initial velocity of the wood block (at rest)

$v = 15 m/s$ is the final combined velocity of the clay+block after the collision

Re-arranging the equation, we can find $u_1$ , the speed at which the clay was tossed:

$u_1 = \frac{(m_1+m_2)v-m_2 u_2}{m_1}=\frac{(0.10+0.10)(15)-0}{0.10}=30 m/s$

In this second case, the clay is replaced by a bouncy ball, which rebounds back after the collision, instead of sticking with the block.

In this second case, the law of conservation of momentum becomes:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2$

where

$m_1 = 0.10 kg$ is the mass of the ball

$u_1 = 30 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the ball

$m_2 = 0.10 kg$ is the mass of the wood block

$u_2 = 0$ is the initial velocity of the wood block (at rest)

$v_1 = -10 m/s$ is the velocity of the bouncing ball after the collision (negative because it goes backward)

$v_2$ is the velocity of the block after the collision

Solving for $v_2$ , we find the final velocity of the block:

$v_2 = \frac{m_1 u_1 - m_1 v_1}{m_2}=\frac{(0.10)(30)-(0.10)(-10)}{0.10}=40 m/s$

As we can see, the final velocity of the block has increased. The reason for that is that, as the ball bounces back, part of the total momentum is "carried away" by the ball in the backward direction, and since the total momentum must remain constant, this means that the momentum carried by the block in the forward direction must be larger than the previous situation.

jok3333 [9.3K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy and heat transferred in a body.

By definition we know that the heat lost must be equal to the heat gained, ie

$Q_g = Q_l$

Where,

Q = Heat exchange

The heat exchange is defined as

$Q = c_p m \Delta T$

Where,

$c_p =$ Specific heat

m = mass

$\Delta T=$ Change in Temperature

Therefore replacing we have that

$Q_g = Q_l$

$c_{p-tea} m \Delta T = c_{p-al} m \Delta T$

Replacing with our values we have that

$0.25*4180*(80-T) = 0.1*900*(T-20)$

$11.61*(80-T) = T-20$

$T= \frac{948.8}{11.61}$

$T = 75.24\°C$

Therefore the highest possible temperature of the spoon when you finally take it out of the cup is 75.24°C

A 1 kg flashlight is dropped from rest and falls to the floor without air resistance . At the point during its fall, when it is

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The speed of the flashlight at that point is 3.7 m/s

Explanation:

When an object of mass M is at a height H above the ground, the potential energy of the object is:

U = M*H*g

Where g is the gravitational acceleration, g = 9.8 m/s^2

And for an object with velocity v, the kinetic energy is:

K = (M/2)*v^2

We know that when the flashlight of mass 1kg is 0.7 meters above the ground, the potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy, then:

M = 1kg

H = 0.7m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Replacing these in the equations, we get:

U = K

(1kg)*(0.7m)*(9.8 m/s^2) = ((1kg)/2)*v^2

As the mass factor appears in both sides, we can remove it:

(0.7 m)*(9.8 m/s^2) = (v^2)/2

Now we can multiply both sides by 2:

2*(0.7 m)*(9.8 m/s^2) = v^2

Now let's apply the square root to both sides:

√(2*(0.7 m)*(9.8 m/s^2)) = v = 3.7 m/s

Question 1.

mass = 4500 kg
potential energy (p.e) = 67500 J

now, we know :

$h = 1.5 \: m$

note : if we take acceleration due to gravity as 9.8, then height = 1.53 m

Question 2.

A system of releases 125kJ of heat while 104kJ of work is done in the system. Calcilate the change om imternal energy (in kJ)

artcher [175]

Answer:

DU = 21 KJ

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Quantity of heat = 125 KJ

Work = 104 KJ

To find the change in internal energy;

Mathematically, the change in internal energy of a system is given by the formula;

DU = Q - W

Where;

DU is the change in internal energy.

Q is the quantity of energy.

W is the work done.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

DU = 125 - 104

DU = 21 KJ

A metal wire breaks when its tension reaches 100 newton. If the radius and length of the wire were both doubled then it would br

serg [7]

Answer:

200 N

Explanation:

Since Young's modulus for the metal, E = σ/ε where σ = stress = F/A where F = force on metal and A = cross-sectional area, and ε = strain = e/L where e = extension of metal = change in length and L = length of metal wire.

So, E = σ/ε = FL/eA

Now, since at break extension = e.

So making e subject of the formula, we have

e = FL/EA = FL/Eπr² where r = radius of metal wire

Now, when the radius and length are doubled, we have our extension as e' = F'L'/Eπr'² where F' = new force on metal wire, L' = new length = 2L and r' = new radius = 2r

So, e' = F'(2L)/Eπ(2r)²

e' = 2F'L/4Eπr²

e' = F'L/2Eπr²

Since at breakage, both extensions are the same, e = e'

So, FL/Eπr² = F'L/2Eπr²

F = F'/2

F' = 2F

Since F = 100 N,

F' = 2 × 100 N = 200 N

So, If the radius and length of the wire were both doubled then it would break when the tension reached 200 Newtons.
