A 0.454-kg block is attached to a horizontal spring that is at its equilibrium length, and whose force constant is 21.0 N/m. The

block rests on a frictionless surface. A 5.30×10?2-kg wad of putty is thrown horizontally at the block, hitting it with a speed of 8.97 m/s and sticking.Part AHow far does the putty-block system compress the spring?

Answer:

Explanation:

Force constant of spring K = 21 N /m

we shall find the common velocity of putty-block system from law of conservation of momentum .

Initial momentum of putty

= 5.3 x 10⁻² x 8.97

= 47.54 x 10⁻² kg m/s

If common velocity after collision be V

47.54 x 10⁻² = ( 5.3x 10⁻² + .454) x V

V = .937 m/s

If x be compression on hitting the putty

1/2 k x² = 1/2 m V²

21 x² = ( 5.3x 10⁻² + .454) x .937²

x² = .0212

x = .1456 m

14.56 cm

Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does​
Strike441 [17]

Answer: Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does? The heating element of the heater is made up of alloy which has very high resistance so when current flows through the heating element, it becomes too hot and glows red. But the resistance of cord which is usually of copper or aluminum is very low so it does not glow.

Answer:

\boxed{{160 \:  m(s)}^{ - 1} }

Explanation:

if \:the \:  frequencies \: are \to \\   f_{1} =  640Hz  \\ and \\f_{2}   = 480Hz \:  \\ but \:  \boxed{v = f \gamma }:   f =  \frac{v}{ \gamma } \\ if \:  \gamma_{1}  -  \gamma _{2}  = 1 =  \gamma  \\ f_{1}  - f_{2}  = 640 - 480 = \boxed{ 160Hz} = f \\ v = f \gamma = 160 \times 1 =  \boxed{{160 \:  m(s)}^{ - 1} }

During science class, while studying mixtures, you mix together iron filings and sand. Your teacher challenges you to separate t
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer : Use a magnet to pull out the iron filings as they are attracted to a magnet

Explanation :  we use the magnet to separate the sand from the iron filing. Because the magnet has an attraction power.

We can say that we can use the magnet to attract the iron filings out of the mixture because iron is magnetic solid, but sand will not attract because sand is not magnetic solid.

So,  we use a magnet to pull out the iron filings as they are attracted to a magnet.

Two blocks are connected by a light weight, flexible cord that passes over a frictionless pulley.Ifm1=2 kg and m2 = 3 kg, and bl
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

t = 1.41 sec.

Explanation:

If we assume that the acceleration of the blocks is constant, we can apply any of the kinematic equations to get the time since the block 2 was released till it reached the floor.

First, we need to find the value of  acceleration, which is the same for both blocks.

If we take as our system both blocks, and think about the pulley as redirecting the force simply (as tension in the strings behave like internal forces) , we can apply Newton's 2nd Law, as they were moving along the same axis, aiming at opposite directions, as follows:

F = m₂*g - m₁*g = (m₁+m₂)*a (we choose as positive the direction of the acceleration, will be the one defined by the larger mass, in this case m₂)

⇒ a = (\frac{(m₂-m₁)}({m₁+m₂} * g = g/5 m/s²

Once we got the value of a, we can use for instance this kinematic equation, and solve for t:

Δx = 1/2*a*t² ⇒ t² = (2* 1.96m *5)/g = 2 sec² ⇒ t = √2 = 1.41 sec.
