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.

If the sound source is moving then the pitch of the sound will ___________________ to the observer.
Alika [10]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

The frequency of sound determines the sound. If the frequency is lower the pitch will be lower. If the frequency is higher the pitch will be higher. This is affected by the motion of the sound source because when a sound source is moving faster the frequency will become higher.

. How much work in joules is done by a person who uses a force of 25 N to move a desk 3.0 m?
sergejj [24]
We Know, W = F * s
here, F = 25 N
s = 3 m

Substitute it into the expression,
W = 25 * 3
W = 75 Joule

So, your final answer is 75 J

Hope this helps!

What term was used to describe the final digit
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Significant digits (also called significant figures or “sig figs” for short) indicate the precision of a measurement. A number with more significant digits is more precise. For example, 8.00 cm is more precise than 8.0 cm.

A bottle lying on the windowsill falls off and takes 4.95 seconds to reach the ground. The distance from the windowsill to the g
Liula [17]
The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is 
                        D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²) 
           Distance  =  (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)

We want to see how the time will be affected 
if  ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does. 
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.                                                      D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

Multiply each side by  2 :         2 D  =            g    t²  

Divide each side by ' g ' :      2 D/g =                  t² 

Square root each side:        t = √ (2D/g)

Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes:

  -- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'

                                             and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .-- 

They don't change by the same factor, because  1/g  is inside the square root.  So 't' changes the same amount as  √1/g  does.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly  1/6  the value of gravity on the surface of the Earth.

So we expect ' t ' to increase by  √6  =  2.45 times.

It would take the same bottle  (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the surface of the Moon.
