Blocks A (5.00 kg) and B (10.00 kg) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block B is at rest and block A is mov

ing toward it at 4.00 m/s. The blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. The collision is head-on, so all motion before and after the collision is along a straight line. What is the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers during the collision process

Answer: 1.33m/s: 13.326j

Explanation:

M1U1+M2U2=V(M1+M2)

M1=5kg, M2=10kg

U1=4.00m/s, U2=0

5*4+10*0=V(10+5)

20+0=15V

20=15V

V=20/15

V=1.333m/s

K. E=1/2MV^2

K. E= 1/2*15*1.332^2

K. E= 1/2*15*1.77689

K. E=26.65335/2

K. E=13.326j

how would the velocity of the book change if the applied force were equal to the sliding friction force
Inessa [10]
Yes, Sliding friction opposes the movement of the book, slowing it down.sliding That's the 'kinetic' kind.. According to Newton's second law, F=ma. That is, the bear's acceleration should be proportional to the total force acting on the bear. As the bear's velocity is constant, its acceleration is zero. Therefore, the total Force acting on the bear is zero. Thus, the friction has to be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the bear's weight. As W=mg, we get that its weight is  <span>9.8*400=3,920 Newton. Thus, the friction acting on the bear is 3,920 Newton</span>

You are walking in Paris alongside the Eiffel Tower and suddenly a croissant falls on your head and knocks you to the ground. If
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

7,79 seconds

Explanation:

{\displaystyle {\overline {a}}={\frac {\Delta v}{t}}}

You need to use the acceleration formula. A is acceliration, \displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v} is change in velocity and t is time.

You  need to multiply the formula with t and divide by a and you get

a*t=\displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v}

t= \displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v}/a

after that you just need to insert the numbers

change in velocity is 76.4 minus 0.

acceliration is gravitational acceleration which is 9.81.

After that you get

t=76.4/9.81

t= 7,787971458 s

Adaptive radiation is demonstrated by ____
Vlad1618 [11]

X-rays are high energy electrons that can cause damage when exposed under extreme conditions. The best technology that can block it is using a lightweight type of metal foam. It can take in high energy collisions which also exhibits high forces. it does not only block x-rays but also, neutron radiation and gamma rays.

The speed of an electric locomotive is 90kmh .express this speed in m/s with method​
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

24.3 m/s

Explanation:

1 kmh = 0.27 m/s, that makes a conversion ratio of 0.27/1kmh

\frac{90 kmh}{1} x \frac{0.27 m/s}{1 kmh}

The "kmh" n the top and bottom cancel out. And  then you just multiply the top 90 x 0.27 and the bottom 1 x 1 to get

\frac{24.3 m/s}{1}

and since its over 1 its just 24.3 m/s
