A 20 kg mass is moving at 10 m/s and collides with a stationary 5 kg mass, transferring all its momentum in the collision, what
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

v = 40 [m/s].

Explanation:

Linear momentum is defined as the product of mass by Velocity. In this way, by means of the following equation, we can calculate the momentum.

P=m*v\\

where:

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

P =20*10\\P =200 [kg*m/s]

Since all momentum is transferred, we can say that this momentum is equal for the mass of 5 [kg]. In this way, we can determine the speed after the impact.

v = P/m\\v = 200/5\\v = 40 [m/s]

A mass hanging from a spring is set in motion and its ensuing velocity is given by v (t )equals 2 pi cosine pi t for tgreater th
lianna [129]

Answer:

2(maximum), -2(minimum), -2(maximum).

Explanation:

V(t)= 2πcos πt--------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

Therefore, there is a need to integrate v(t) to get S(t).

S(t)= 2×sinπt + C ------------------------------------------------------------------------------(2).

Applying the condition given, we have s(0)= 0.

S(0)= 2sin ×π(0) + C.

Which means that; 0+C= 0. That is; C=0.

S(t)= 2 sin πt.

The mass moves to its highest positions at time,t=half(1/2=.5) and time,t=2.5.

Take note that;  sin(π/2) = sin(5π/2) = 1 .

Also, the mass moves to its lowest position at time,t=(3/2); also, sin(3π/2) = -1.

Therefore, we have that 2 maximum; -2 minimum and -2 maximum.

Cesium-137 undergoes beta decay and has a half-life of 30.0 years. How many beta particles are emitted by a 14.0-g sample of ces
Mandarinka [93]

Answer: 0.81\times 10^{16} beta particles

Explanation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass = 14.0 g

Molar mass = 137 g/mol

\text{Number of moles of cesium}=\frac{14.0g}{137g/mol}=0.102moles

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

1 mole of cesium contains atoms =  6.023\times 10^{23}

0.102 moles of cesium contains atoms =  \frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 0.102=0.614\times 10^{23}

The relation of atoms with time for radioactivbe decay is:

N_t=N_0\times \frac{1}{2}^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}

Where N_t =atoms left undecayed

N_0 = initial atoms

t = time taken for decay = 3 minutes

{t_{\frac{1}{2}}} = half life = 30.0 years = 1.577\times 10^7 minutes

The fraction that decays  :  1-(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{3}{1.577\times 10^7}}=1.32\times 10^{-7}

Amount of particles that decay is  = 0.614\times 10^{23}\times 1.32\times 10^{-7}=0.81\times 10^{16}

Thus 0.81\times 10^{16} beta particles are emitted by a 14.0-g sample of cesium-137 in three minutes.
