Two blocks a and b ($m_a>m_b$) are pushed for a certain distance along a frictionless surface. how does the magnitude of the

work that a does on b compare to the magnitude of the work that b does on a?

Answer:

the magnitude of the work done by the two blocks is the same.

Explanation:

The work done by block a on block b is given by:

W_a = F_a d

where Fa is the force exerted by block a on block b, and d is the distance they cover.

The work done by block b on block a is given by:

W_b = F_b d

where Fb is the force exerted by block b on block a, and d is still the distance they cover.

For Newton's third law, the force exerted by block a on block b is equal to the force exerted by block b on block a, therefore

F_a = F_b

and so

W_a=W_b

Two uniform solid spheres of the same size, but different mass, are released from rest simultaneously at the same height on a hi
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

options A and C

Explanation:

Since, the spheres are of same size and rotational speed of the sphere are not dependent on their masses. So, both the sphere will reach the bottom of the at the same time with the same speed. But their kinetic energies are different.

So, options A and C are correct.

A 3.0 kg object is loaded into a toy spring gun, and the spring has a spring constant 750N/m. The object compresses the spring b
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of object, m = 3 kg

spring constant, K = 750 n/m

compression, x = 8 cm = 0.08 m

angle of gun, θ = 30°

(a) As the ball is launched, it has some velocity due to the compression in the spring, so it has some kinetic energy.

(b) Let v be th evelocity of ball at the tim eof launch.

by using the conservation of energy

1/2 Kx² = 1/2 mv²

750 x 0.08 x 0.08 = 3 x v²

v = 1.265 m/s

By use of the formula of maximum height

h = \frac{v^{2}Sin^{2}\theta}{2g}

h = \frac{1.265^{2}Sin^{2}30}{2\times 9.8}

h = 0.02 m

h = 2 cm

Someone help please i need to finish this
Tom [10]

Answer:

4th answer

Explanation:

The gradient of a distance-time graph gives the speed.

gradient = distance / time = speed

Here, the gradient is a constant till 30s. So it has travelled at a constant speed. It means it had not accelarated till 30s. and has stopped moving at 30s.

Suppose you pour 0.250 kg of 20.0°C water into a 0.600 kg aluminum pan off the stove with a temperature of 173°C. Assume that th
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

T_f=5.0116^{\circ}C

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of water, m_w=0.25\ kg
  • initial temperature of water, T_i_w=20^{\circ}C
  • initial temperature of pan, T_i_p=173^{\circ}C
  • mass of pan, m_p=0.6\ kg
  • mass of water evapourated, m_v=0.03\ kg
  • specific heat of water, c_w=4186\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • specific heat of aluminium pan, c_a=900\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • latent heat of vapourization, L=2256000\ J.kg^{-1}

<u>Using the equation of heat:</u>

<em>Here, initially certain mass of water is vapourised first and then the remaining mass of water comes in thermal equilibrium with the pan.</em>

m_p.c_a.(T_{ip}-T_f)=m_v.L+(m_w-m_v).c_w.(T_f-T_{iw})

0.6\times 900\times (173-T_f)=0.03\times 2256000+(0.25-0.03)\times 4186\times (T_f-20)

T_f=5.0116^{\circ}C
