Two blocks of masses mA and mB are connected by a massless spring. The blocks are moved apart, stretching the spring, and subseq
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Part a)

\frac{v_A}{v_B} = -\frac{m_B}{m_A}

Part b)

\frac{K_A}{K_B} = \frac{m_B}{m_A}

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that initially the two blocks are connected by a spring and initially stretched by some amount

Since the two blocks are at rest initially so its initial momentum is zero

since there is no external force on this system so final momentum is also zero

m_Av_{1i} + m_Bv_{2i} = m_Av_A + m_Bv_B

now for initial position the speed is zero

0 = m_Av_A + m_Bv_B

now we have

\frac{v_A}{v_B} = -\frac{m_B}{m_A}

Part b)

now for ratio of kinetic energy we know that the relation between kinetic energy and momentum is given as

K = \frac{P^2}{2m}

now for the ratio of energy we have

\frac{K_A}{K_B} = \frac{P^2/2m_A}{P^2/2m_B}

since we know that momentum of two blocks are equal in magnitude so we have

now we have

\frac{K_A}{K_B} = \frac{m_B}{m_A}

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!? After chasing its prey, a cougar leaves skid marks that are 236 m in length. Assuming the cougar sk
malfutka [58]

Answer:

u=36.8m/s

Explanation:

because of the acceleration is a constant acceleration we can use one of the "SUVAT" equations

u^2=v^2-2ā*s. where:

u^2 stands for intial velocity

v^2 stands for final velocity

since the cougar skidded to a complete stop the final velocity is zero.

u^2=v^2-2ā*s

u^2=(0)^2 -2(-2.87 m/s^2)*236 m

u^2=0+5.74m/s^2* 236m

u^2=1354.64m^2/s^2

u=√1354.64m^2/s^2

u=36.8m/s (approximate value)

when ever the acceleration is constant you can use one of the following equation to find the required value.

1. v = u + at. (no s)

2. s= 1/2(u+v)t. (no ā)

3. s=ut + 1/2at^2. ( no v)

4. v^2=u^2 + 2āS. (no t). 5. s= vt - 1/2at^2. (no u)

The drag force that resists the motion of a car traveling at 80 km h^- 1 is 300 N.
kobusy [5.1K]

The power require to keep the car traveling is 6,666 W.

The power of the engine at the given efficiency is 3,999.6 W.

<h3>What is Instantaneous power?</h3>

This the product of force and velocity of the given object.

The power require to keep the car traveling is calculated as follows;

P = Fv

P = 300\ N \ \times  \ \frac{80 \ kmh^{-1}}{3.6 \ km h^{-1}/m/s} \\\\&#10;P = 300 \ N \times 22.22 \ m/s\\\\&#10;P = 6,666 \ W

The power of the engine at the given efficiency is calculated as follows;

E = \frac{P_{out}}{P _{in}} \times 100\%\\\\&#10;60\% = \frac{P_{out}}{6,666} \times 100\%\\\\&#10;0.6 = \frac{P_{out}}{6,666} \\\\&#10;P_{out} = 3,999.6 \ W
