Two identical blocks are connected to opposite ends of a compressed spring. the blocks initially slide together on a frictionles

s surface with a velocity v to the right. at some instant, the left block is moving at v/2 to the left and the other block is moving to the right. what is the speed of the center of the mass of they system at that instant?

Answer:

v to the right.

Explanation:

<u>If there is no external force on the system, then the velocity of the center of mass is </u><u>constant</u><u>. </u>

The initial velocity of center of mass is v to the right. Therefore, the velocity of the center of mass at any point is v to the right.

A5.0 kg TNT explosive, initially at rest, explodes into two pieces. One of the pieces weighing 2.0 kg flies off to
nordsb [41]

Answer:

v = 24 m/s, rightwards

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of TBT explosive = 5 kg

It explodes into two pieces.

One of the pieces weighing 2.0 kg flies off to  the left at 36 m/s. Let left be negative and right be positive.

The law of conservation of momentum holds here. Let v be the final speed of the remaining piece. So,

5\times 0=2\times (-36)+3\times v\\\\-72=-3v\\\\v=24\ m/s

So, the final speed of the remaining piece is 24 m/s and it is in the right direction.

2. A 1.30-m long gas column that is open at one end and closed at the other end has a fundamental resonant frequency 80.0 Hz. Wh
Elina [12.6K]

To solve this problem, it will be necessary to apply the concepts related to the fundamental resonance frequency in a closed organ pipe.

This is mathematically given as

f_n (2n+1)(\frac{v}{4L})

For fundamental frequency n is 0, then,

f_0 = \frac{v}{4L}

When,

v = Velocity of sound

L = Length,

Rearranging to find the velocity,

v = f_0 (4L)

v = (80Hz)(4)(1.3m)

v = 416m/s

Therefore the speed of sound in this gas is 416m/s

A car battery has a rating of 250 ampere-hours. This rating is one indication of the total charge that the battery can provide t
Serga [27]

Answer:

Total charge provided by the battery could be 900000 C.

Maximum current provided by the battery for 37 minutes could be 405.405 A

Explanation:

Rating= 250 A-h

a. Total charge:

Rating=Q/t\\Q=Rating.t\\

Suppose t=1h

Q=250 A(1h)\\Q=250 A(3600 sec)\\Q= 900000 A.sec

We konw that Ampere=\frac{Coulomb}{sec}, replacing:

Q=900000(\frac{Coulomb}{sec})(sec)\\Q=900000 Coulomb

Total charge provided by the battery could be 900000 C.

b. Maximum current for 37 minutes

I=\frac{Q}{t} \\I=\frac{900000 C}{37*60 sec}\\I=405.405 A

Maximum current provided by the battery for 37 minutes could be 405.405 A
