Answer:

The coupled velocity of both the blocks is 1.92 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block A, m_1=5\ kg

Initial speed of block A, u_1=5\ m/s

Mass of block B, m_2=8\ kg

Initial speed of block B, u_2=0

It is mentioned that if the two blocks couple together after collision. We need to find the common velocity immediately after collision. We know that due to coupling, it becomes the case of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum. Let V is the coupled velocity of both the blocks. So,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{5\times 5+0}{(5+8)}\\\\V=1.92\ m/s

So, the coupled velocity of both the blocks is 1.92 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is one disadvantage of a series circuit?
nlexa [21]

If one bulb goes out then all the others won't light up because electricity will be cut off. It's a disadvantage because in a parallel circuit if one bulb burns out all the others will still be on because they won't be affected. I hope I've helped you ☺

A sound wave from a police siren has an intensity of 100.0 W/m² at a certain point; a second sound wave from a nearby ambulance
Irina18 [472]

The sound level of the sound wave due to the ambulance is 140.

<h3>What do you mean by sound?</h3>

In terms of physics, the sound is a vibration that travels through a transmission medium like a gas, liquid, or solid as an acoustic wave. Sound is the reception of these waves and the brain's perception of them in terms of human physiology and psychology. Only acoustic waves with frequencies between roughly 20 Hz and 20 kHz, or the audio frequency range, can cause a human to have an auditory sensation. These are sound waves with wavelengths ranging from 17 meters (56 ft) to 1.7 millimeters in the air at atmospheric pressure (0.67 in). Ultrasounds are sound waves with a frequency higher than 20 kHz that are inaudible to humans. Infrasound refers to sound frequencies below 20 Hz. Animals of different species have different hearing ranges.
