Two blocks can collide in a one-dimensional collision. The block on the left hass a mass of 0.40 kg and is initially moving to t

he right at 2.4 m/s toward a second block of mass 0.50 kg that is initially at rest. When the blocks collide, a cocked spring releases 1.2 J of energy into the system. (For velocities, use + to mean to the right, - to mean to the left.)(a) What is the velocity of the first block after the collision?(b) What is the velocity of the second block after the collision?Remember that the blocks cannot pass through each other!

Answer:

Explanation:

m = 0.40 kg

u = 2.4 m/s

m' = 0.50 kg

u' = 0 m/s

Let v be the velocity of first block and v; be the velocity of second block after collision.

Use conservation of momentum

m x u + m' x u' = m x v + m' x v'

0.40 x 2.4 + 0 = 0.4 x v + 0.5 x v'

0.96 = 0.4 v + 0.5 v'

9.6 = 4 v + 5v' ..... (1)

According to the conservation of energy

0.5 x m x u² + 1.2 = 0.5 x m x v² + 0.5 x m' x v'²

0.5 x 0.4 x 2.4 x 2.4 + 1.2 = 0.5 x 0.4 x v² + 0.5 x 0.5 x v'²

4.704 = 0.4v² + 0.5v'²

47.04 = 4v² + 5v'²   .... (2)

From equation (1) , v = (9.6 - 5v') / 4 = 2.4 - 1.25 v' , Put in equation (2), we get

47.04 = 4 (2.4 - 1.25v')² + 5v'²

47.04 = 4 (5.76 + 1.56 v'² - 6 v') + 5v'²

47.04 = 23.04 + 6.24v'² - 24v' + 5v'²

11.24v'² - 24v' - 24 = 0

v'=\frac{24\pm \sqrt{24^{2}+4\times 24\times 11.24}}{2\times 11.24}

By solving, v' = 2.88 m/s or - 0.74 m/s

So, v = - 1.2 m/s or 3.33 m/s

Answer:

The velocity of the first block is 1.15m/s while of the second block 2.56m/s.

Explanation:

Momentum is only conserved in an isolated system, and because this problem requires us to find the value of the two variables, we need two equations; therefore, to conserved momentum the energy must be released in to the system only after the collision has occurred.

Therefore, from conservation of momentum

m_1v_1= m_1v_{1f}+m_2v_{2f}

0.4(2.4)= 0.4v_{1f}+0.5v_{2f}

\boxed{\:0.96= 0.4v_{1f}+0.5v_{2f}}

and from conservation of energy

$\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+1.2 = \frac{1}{2} m_1v_{1f}^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_{2f}^2  $

m_1v_1^2+2.4 =  m_1v_{1f}^2+m_2v_{2f}^2}

$\boxed{\:3.804=  0.4v_{1f}^2+0.5v_{2f}^2.}$

Thus, we have two equations and two unknowns

(1). \: 0.4v_{1f}+0.5v_{2f}=0.96

{(2). \:  0.4v_{1f}^2+0.5v_{2f}^2 =3.804

which has solutions

(v_{1f}, v_{2f}) = (1.15,2.56)

and

(v_{1f}, v_{2f}) = (1.15,-2.56)

Since the blocks cannot pass through each other, the 0.5kg block cannot have v_{2f} = -2.56m/s  (moves to the left) while the 0.4 kg block has v_{1f} = 1.15m/s (moves to the right); therefore, we take the first solution for the velocities:

(v_{1f}, v_{2f}) = (1.15,2.56).

Thus , the velocity of the first block is 1.15m/s while of the second block 2.56m/s.

Does the densoty of an object change if you add more of it because i did an expirement that proved that the density does change
Marysya12 [62]
No the density does not change. Density is a ratio D=m/v no matter how much of a substance you have its mass will be proportional.
When doing density labs sometimes you might get different answers due to errors that are unavoidable.

A driver in a car traveling at a speed of 50 mi/h sees a deer 50 m away on the road. Calculate the minimum constant acceleration
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

a= - 0.79 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Speed ,u = 20 mi/h

We know that

1 mi/h= 0.44 m/s

Therefore ,u = 8.94 m/s

Distance ,s= 50 m

Lets take the acceleration of the car = a m/s²

The final speed of the car ,v = 0 m/s

We know that

v²= u² + 2 a s

Now by putting the values

0²= 8.94² + 2 x a x 50

a=-\dfrac{8.94^2}{2\times 50}\ m/s^2

a= - 0.79 m/s²

Therefore the acceleration will be - 0.79 m/s².

Find the amount of force required to move an object of 1200 kg at a velocity of 54 km/hr?​​
Mkey [24]

Answer:

0 Newtons

Explanation:

The velocity of the object does not change, it is a constant 54 km/hr. When velocity does not change, acceleration is zero. Using the formula Force = mass x acceleration, we find:

mass = 1200 kg

acceleration = 0

F  = (1200)(0) = 0

The first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth was Sputnik I, launched October 4, 1957. The mass of Sputnik I was 83.5 kg, an
9966 [12]

Answer:

-4.941*10^8J.

Explanation:

To solve this exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to gravitational potential energy, as well as the concept of perigee and apogee of a celestial body.

By conservation of energy we know that,

\Delta U = \Delta_{perogee}-\Delta_{Apogee}

Where,

U= \frac{-GmM_e}{r}

Replacing

\Delta U = \frac{-GmM_e}{r_p}- \frac{-GmM_e}{r_a}

\Delta U = GmM_e (\frac{1}{r_A}-\frac{1}{r_p})

Our values are given by,

m = 85.5Kg

M_e = 5.97*10^{24}Kg

r_A = 7330Km

r_p = 6610Km

G = 6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/Kg^2

Replacing at the equation,

\Delta U = (6.67*10^{-11})(85.5)(5.97*10^{24}) (\frac{1}{7330}-\frac{1}{6610})

\Delta U = -4.941*10^8J

Therefore the Energy necessary for Sputnik I as it moved from apogee to perigee was -4.941*10^8J.
