Two blocks collide on a frictionless surface. After the collision, the blocks sticktogether. Block A has a mass M and is initial

ly moving to the right at speed v. Block B has amass 2M and is initially at rest. System C is composed of both blocks. (a) Draw a free-bodydiagram for each block at an instant during the collision. (b) Rank the magnitudes of thehorizontal forces in your diagram. Explain your reasoning. (c) Calculate the change inmomentum of block A, block B, and system C.Anybody want to take a crack at this?

A sample of copper with a mass of 1.80 kg, initially at a temperature of 150.0°C, is in a well-insulated container. Water at a t
user100 [1]

Answer:

the mass of water is 0.3 Kg

Explanation:

since the container is well-insulated, the heat released by the copper is absorbed by the water , therefore:

Q water + Q copper = Q surroundings =0 (insulated)

Q water = - Q copper

since Q = m * c * ( T eq - Ti ) , where m = mass, c = specific heat, T eq = equilibrium temperature and Ti = initial temperature

and denoting w as water and co as copper :

m w * c w * (T eq - Tiw) = - m co * c co * (T eq - Ti co) =  m co * c co * (T co - Ti eq)

m w = m co * c co * (T co - Ti eq) / [ c w * (T eq - Tiw) ]

We take the specific heat of water as c= 1 cal/g °C = 4.186 J/g °C . Also the specific heat of copper can be found in tables → at 25°C c co = 0.385 J/g°C

if we assume that both specific heats do not change during the process (or the change is insignificant)

m w = m co * c co * (T eq - Ti co) / [ c w * (T eq - Tiw) ]

m w= 1.80 kg *  0.385 J/g°C ( 150°C - 70°C) /( 4.186 J/g°C ( 70°C- 27°C))

m w= 0.3 kg

If |v|= 11, |w|= 23, |v-w|= 30, find |v+w|​
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

|v+w|=20

Explanation:

We are given that

|v|=11

|w|=23

|v-w|=30

We have to find the value of |v+w|

|a-b|^2=(a+b)\cdot (a+b)=a^2+b^2-2|a||b|cos\theta

Using the formula

(30)^2=(11)^2+(23)^2-2(11)(23)cos\theta

900=121+529-506cos\theta

900-121-529=-506cos\theta

250=-506cos\theta

cos\theta=-\frac{250}{506}

|a+b|^2=|a|^2+|b|^2+2a\cdot bcos\theta

Using the formula

|v+w|^2=(11)^2+(23)^2+2(11)(23)\times (-\frac{250}{506})

|v+w|^2=400

|v+w|^2=(20)^2

|v+w|=20

As a science fair project, you want to launch an 950g model rocket straight up and hit a horizontally moving target as it passes
marin [14]

Answer:

55.28 m

Explanation:

Mass of the rocket = 950 g = 950 / 1000 = 0.95 kg

force of gravity = 0.95 Kg × 9.81 m/s² = 9.3195 N

force due to acceleration = 18.3 N - 9.3195 N = 8.9805 N

F = ma

acceleration of the rocket = F / m = 8.9805 N / 0.95 Kg = 9.45 m/s²

using the equation of motion

d = ut + 1/2 at² u = 0 m/s

d = 1/2 at²

t = √(2d / a) = √ ( 2 × 40 m /  9.45 m/s²) = 2.91 s

the horizontal distance between the target and the rocket = vt = 19 m/s × 2.91 s = 55.28 m

Why do the stars rotate​
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Angular momentum

Explanation:

Stars are formed as a result of a collapse of a low-temperature cloud of gas and dust. During the colapse conservation of angular momentum causes any small net rotation of the cloud to increase thus forcing the material into rotating
