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

What can you say about the magnitudes of the forces that the balloons exert on each other?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

F_G=G. \frac{m_1.m_2}{R^2} gravitational force

F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{R^2} electrostatic force

Explanation:

The forces that balloons may exert on each other can be gravitational pull due to the mass of the balloon membrane and the mass of the gas contained in each. This force is inversely proportional to the square of the radial distance between their center of masses.

The Mutual force of gravitational pull that they exert on each other can be given as:

F_G=G. \frac{m_1.m_2}{R^2}

where:

G= gravitational constant  =6.67\times 10^{-11} m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2}

m_1\ \&\ m_2 are the masses of individual balloons

R= the radial distance between the  center of masses of the balloons.

But when  there are charges on the balloons, the electrostatic force comes into act which is governed by Coulomb's law.

Given as:

F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{R^2}

where:

\rm \epsilon_0= permittivity\ of\ free\ space

q_1\ \&\ q_2 are the charges on the individual balloons

R = radial distance between the charges.

A positively charged body exerts an electric field that causes a positively charged particle to move away from it. If work is do
ollegr [7]

Answer:

b. electric potential energy.

Explanation:

The energy required to move a charge against the electric field is known as the electric potential energy. As in above case positively charged body is exerting an electric field on the positive charge. As the same charges repel so the charge tend to move away. In order to push it towards the body we need a work done. As it is hard to push the positive charged particle towards the positive electric field. So in the cases like these particle occupies the electric potential energy.
