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.

A mover loads a crate onto a truck bed 1.6m from the street using a ramp that is 4.6m long. What is a mechanical advantage?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 2.875

Explanation:

Given:

A diagram is shown below for the above scenario.

Length of ramp (Effort arm) = 4.6 m

Height of truck bed ( Resistance length) = 1.6 m

Mechanical advantage (MA) is the ratio of effort arm and resistance length.

So, mechanical advantage is given as,

MA=\frac{\textrm{Effort arm}}{\textrm{Resistance length}}= \frac{4.6}{1.6}=2.875

What is mass times acceleration?
frozen [14]

Answer:

Force

Explanation:

The mass of an object is the quantity of matter it contains. It is measured in kilograms.

Acceleration is the ratio of the change in the velocity of an object to the change in time. It is measured in m/s^{2}.

When the mass of an object is multiplied with its acceleration, this gives the average force applied on the object. As force is defined as agent that can change the state of an object.

i.e     F = m × a

where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

The two major classes of force are; contact force and field force.

A rectangular block of copper metal weighs 1896 g. The dimensions of the block are 8.4 cm by 5.5 cm by 4.6 cm. From this data, w
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

8.9 g/cm^3

Explanation:

density = mass/volume

volume = length * width * height

volume = (8.4 cm)(5.5 cm)(4.6 cm)

volume = 212.52 cm^3

mass = 1896 g

density = (1896 g)/(212.52 cm^3)

density = 8.9 g/cm^3

The acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to which of the following?
VladimirAG [237]

We have that for the Question "the acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to which of the following?"

  • it can be said that the acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to the slope of the line connecting the origin and the point where the graph where the graph crosses the 0.7s grid line

From the question we are told

the acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to which of the following?

Generally the equation for the Force  is mathematically given as

F=\frac{F}{dx}

Therefore

F=-kdx

k=600Nm^{-1}

now

K.E=0.5x ds^2

K.E=600*(-0.1^2)

K.E=3J

Therefore

the acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to the slope of the line connecting the origin and the point where the graph where the graph crosses the 0.7s grid line
