In an elastic head-on collision, a 0.60 kg cart moving at 5.0 m/s [W] collides with a 0.80 kg cart moving at 2.0 m/s [E]. The co

llision is cushioned by a spring (k = 1200 N/m).
a) Determine the velocity of each cart after the collision.
b) Determine the maximum compression of the spring.

Answer:

The answer is given below

Explanation:

u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity. Given that:

m_1=0.6kg,u_1=-5m/s(moving \ west),m_2=0.8kg,u_2=2m/s,k=1200N/m

a)

The final velocity of cart 1 after collision is given as:

v_1=(\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2})u_1+\frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\  Substituting:\\v_1=\frac{0.6-0.8}{0.6+0.8} (-5)+\frac{2*0.8}{0.6+0.8}(2)= 5/7+16/7=3\ m/s

The final velocity of cart 2 after collision is given as:

v_2=(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})u_2+\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_1\\  Substituting:\\v_1=\frac{0.8-0.6}{0.6+0.8} (2)+\frac{2*0.6}{0.6+0.8}(-5)= 2/7-30/7=-4\ m/s

b) Using the law of conservation of energy:

\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1+ \frac{1}{2}m_2u_2=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2+\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\x=\sqrt{\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1-m_2v_2}{k}}\\ Substituting\ gives:\\x=\sqrt{\frac{0.6*(-5)^2+0.8*2^2-(0.6*3^2)-(0.8*(-4)^2)}{1200}}=\sqrt{0}=0\ cm

Consider the following waves representing electromagnetic radiation: An illustration shows two waves representing electromagneti
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

a) red wave hs a longer wavelength than the green wave

b)f = 1.875 10¹¹ Hz ,  f_green = 5.45 10¹⁴Hz

c)   E = 1.24 10⁻²² J , E_green = 3.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

d) The red wave is in the infrared range, heat waves

The green wave is in the visible wavelength

Explanation:

a) The green wave are on the left in the electromagnetic spectrum so the red wave has a longer wavelength than the green wave

The green wavelength is in the range of 550 10⁻⁹ m

The speed of the wave is

            c = λ f

            f = c /λ

b) The frequency of the red wave is

            f = 3 10⁸ / 1.6 10⁻³

            f = 1.875 10¹¹ Hz

For the green wave

           f_green = 3 10⁸/550 10⁻⁹

           f_green = 5.45 10¹⁴Hz

c) The photon energy is given by the Planck equation

             E = h f

             E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 1.875 10¹¹

             E = 1.24 10⁻²² J

For the green wave

              E_green = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 5.45 10¹⁴

              E_green = 3.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

d) The speed of electromagnetic waves is constant and has a value of 3 108 m / s

e)  

The red wave is in the infrared range, heat waves

The green wave is in the visible wavelength

A proton moves from a location where V = 87 V to a spot where V = -40 V. (a) What is the change in the proton's kinetic energy?
Art [367]

Answer: a) 127 eV; b) there is no change of kinetic energy.

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the change of potentail energy ( conservative field) is equal to changes in kinetic energy. So for the proton ther move to lower potential then they gain kinetic energy from the electric field.  This means the electric force do work in this trayectory and then the protons increased changes its speed.

If we replace the proton by a electron we have a very different situaction, the electrons are located in a lower potental then  they can not move to higher potential  if any  external force does work on the system.

In resumem, the electrons do not move from a point with V=87 to other point with V=-40 V. The electric force point to high potential so the electrons  can not move to lower potential region (V=-40V).

Svetach [21]

Answer:

E.  All of the Above

Explanation:

By doing any kind of exercise or physical activity, you are increasing your overall health.  Your muscle strengthen because of the jumping and movement of arms.  You are more alert because you have to time each jump right in order to keep going.  By breathing evenly while jumping, you do help your Cardiorespiratory fitness as well.  And of course, you increase your athletic ablility over all with much endurance and practice.
