Particle A and particle B are held together with a compressed spring between them. When they are released, the spring pushes the

m apart, and they then fly off in opposite directions, free of the spring. The mass of A is 3.00 times the mass of B, and the energy stored in the spring was 132 J. Assume that the spring has negligible mass and that all its stored energy is transferred to the particles. Once that transfer is complete, what are the kinetic energies of each particle A and B in Joules?

Answer:

KE_A=33\ J

KE_B=99\ J

Explanation:

Given:

Let mass of the particle B be, m_B=m

then the mass of particle A, m_A=3m

Energy stored in the compressed spring, E=132\ J

Now when the compression of the particles with the spring is released, the spring potential energy must get converted into the kinetic energy of the particles and their momentum must be conserved.

Kinetic energy:

\frac{1}{2}m_A.v_A^2+\frac{1}{2}m_B.v_B^2=132

3m.v_A^2+m.v_B^2=264 .............................(1)

<u>Using the conservation of linear momentum:</u>

m_A.v_A+m_B.v_B=0

3m.v_A+m.v_B=0 .............................(2)

Put the value of v_A from eq. (2) into eq. (1)

3m\times (\frac{-v_B}{3})^2+m.v_B^2=264

v_B^2=\frac{198}{m}  ...........................(3)

<u>Now the kinetic energy of particle B:</u>

KE_B=\frac{1}{2}\times m_B\times v_B^2

KE_B=\frac{1}{2}\times m\times \frac{198}{m}

KE_B=99\ J

Put the value of v_B^2 form eq. (3) into eq. (1):

v_A^2=\frac{22}{m}

<u>Now the kinetic energy of particle A:</u>

<u />KE_A=\frac{1}{2}m_A.v_A^2<u />

<u />KE_B=\frac{1}{2}\times 3m\times \frac{22}{m}<u />

KE_A=33\ J

Answer:

A. carbon and boron

Explanation:

Carbon and boron is not an alloy.

An allow forms between metals and metals using their huge electron could.

Carbon is a non-metal, boron is a also a non-metal

Two non-metals combining together does not make an alloy.

Iron, nickel, aluminum  are all metals.
