In the physics lab, a block of mass M slides down a frictionless incline from a height of 35cm. At the bottom of the incline it
bogdanovich [222]

Solution :

Given :

M = 0.35 kg

$m=\frac{M}{2}=0.175 \ kg$

Total mechanical energy = constant

or $K.E._{top}+P.E._{top} = K.E._{bottom}+P.E._{bottom}$

But $K.E._{top} = 0$ and $P.E._{bottom} = 0$

Therefore, potential energy at the top = kinetic energy at the bottom

$\Rightarrow mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$\Rightarrow v = \sqrt{2gh}$

      $=\sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.35}$      (h = 35 cm = 0.35 m)

      = 2.62 m/s

It is the velocity of M just before collision of 'm' at the bottom.

We know that in elastic collision velocity after collision is given by :

$v_1=\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}v_1+ \frac{2m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}$

here, $m_1=M, m_2 = m, v_1 = 2.62 m/s, v_2 = 0$

∴ $v_1=\frac{0.35-0.175}{0.5250}+\frac{2 \times 0.175 \times 0}{0.525}

      $=\frac{0.175}{0.525}+0$

     = 0.33 m/s

Therefore, velocity after the collision of mass M = 0.33 m/s

A simple model for a person running the 100 m dash is to assume the sprinter runs with constant acceleration until reaching top
Trava [24]

Answer:

He will complete the race in total time of T = 10 s

Explanation:

Total distance moved by the sprinter in 2.14 s is given as

s = \frac{(v_{in} + v_{f})}{2} time

s = \frac{(0 + 11.2)}{2} (2.14)

s = 11.98 m

now the distance remaining to move

d = 100 - 11.98 = 88 m

now he will move with uniform maximum speed for the remaining distance

so we will have

time = \frac{d}{v}

time = \frac{88}{11.2} = 7.86 s

so the total time to complete the race is given as

T = 7.86 + 2.14 = 10 s

A radioactive material has a count rate of 400 per minute. It has a half life of 40 years. How long will it take to decay to a r
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

160 years.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Time (t) =?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Number of half-lives (n) =?

Cբ = 1/2ⁿ × Cᵢ

25 = 1/2ⁿ × 400

Cross multiply

25 × 2ⁿ = 400

Divide both side by 25

2ⁿ = 400/25

2ⁿ = 16

Express 16 in index form with 2 as the base

2ⁿ = 2⁴

n = 4

Thus, 4 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the time taken for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Number of half-lives (n) = 4

Time (t) =?

n = t / t½

4 = t / 40

Cross multiply

t = 4 × 40

t = 160 years.

Thus, it will take 160 years for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute.
