Two mass m1 and m2 lie on a frictionless surface. Between the two masses is a compressed spring, with spring constant k. The sys

tem is held in place. At time t=0 the blocks are released. The blocks move off in opposite directions with velocities v1 and v2. how much was the spring compressed?

Answer:

The spring was compressed the following amount:

\Delta x=\sqrt{ \frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} }

Explanation:

Use conservation of energy between initial and final state, considering that the surface id frictionless, and there is no loss in thermal energy due to friction. the total initial energy is the potential energy of the compressed spring (by an amount \Delta x), and the total final energy is the addition of the kinetic energies of both masses:

E_i=\frac{1}{2} k\,(\Delta x)^2\\\\E_f=\frac{1}{2} m_1\,v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2\,v_2^2

E_i=E_f\\

\frac{1}{2} k\,(\Delta x)^2=\frac{1}{2} m_1\,v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2\,v_2^2\\k\,(\Delta x)^2=m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2\\(\Delta x)^2=\frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} \\\Delta x=\sqrt{ \frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} }

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: 30m

Explanation:

Given:

Speed: 1.5m/s

Time: 20 seconds

Distance = speed × time

Distance = 1.5 × 20

= 30m

Therefore you will travel 30m

Some hypothetical alloy is composed of 12.5 wt% of metal A and 87.5 wt% of metal B. If the densities of metals A and B are 4.27
densk [106]

Answer:

The number of atoms in the unit cell is 2, the crystal structure for the alloy is body centered cubic.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of metal A = 12.5%

Weight of metal B = 87.5%

Length of unit cell = 0.395 nm

Density of A = 4.27 g/cm³

Density of B= 6.35 g/cm³

Weight of A = 61.4 g/mol

Weight of B = 125.7 g/mol

We need to calculate the density of the alloy

Using formula of density

\rho=n\times\dfrac{m}{V_{c}\times N_{A}}

n=\dfrac{\rho\timesV_{c}\times N}{m}....(I)

Where, n = number of atoms per unit cells

m = Mass of the alloy

V=Volume of the unit cell

N = Avogadro number

We calculate the density of alloy

\rho=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{12.5}{4.27}+\dfrac{87.5}{6.35}}\times100

\rho=5.98

We calculate the mass of the alloy

m=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{12.5}{61.4}+\dfrac{87.5}{125.7}}\times100

m=111.15

Put the value into the equation (I)

n=\dfrac{5.9855\times(0.395\times10^{-9}\times10^{2})^3\times6.023\times10^{23}}{111.15}

n=1.99\approx 2\ atoms/cell

Hence, The number of atoms in the unit cell is 2, the crystal structure for the alloy is body centered cubic.

The mass of a particular eagle is twice that of a hunted pigeon. Suppose the pigeon is flying north at ????????,2=17.9vi,2=17.9
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

V=27.24 m/s

Explanation:

We need to apply the linear momentum conservation theorem:

m_1*v_{o1}+m_2*v_{o2}=m_t*v_{f}\\

The velocity of the eagle its defined by its two components:

v_x=V*cos(\theta)\\v_y=V*sin(\theta)\\v_x=35.9*cos(61.9^o)=16.9m/s\\v_y=35.9*sin(61.9^o)=31.7m/s

2*(16.9m/s(i)+31.66m/s(j))+17.9m/s(i)=3*v_f\\v_f=17.23m/s(i)+21.10m/s(j)

because speed is a scalar value:

V=\sqrt{(21.10m/s)^2+(17.23)^2}\\V=27.24m/s
