Kinetic Energy (Ek) =
m \times {v}^{2} \div 2

Torricelli's Equation
g earth = 10m/s^2

{v}^{2} = {vo}^{2} + 2g \times delta(s) \\ {v}^{2} = 0 + 2 \times 10 \times 12 \\ {v}^{2} = 240m/s

120g = 0.12 kg

Ek = 0.12 x 240/2
Ek = 28.8/2
Ek = 14.4 J

labwork [276]

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

What is the temperature of a 3.72 mm cube (e=0.288) that radiates 56.6 W?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The temperature is 2541.799 K

Explanation:

The formula for black body radiation is given by the relation;

Q = eσAT⁴

Where:

Q = Rate of heat transfer 56.6

σ = Stefan-Boltzman constant = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/(m²·k⁴)

A = Surface area of the cube = 6×(3.72 mm)² = 8.3 × 10⁻⁵ m²

e = emissivity = 0.288

T = Temperature

Therefore, we have;

T⁴ = Q/(e×σ×A) = 56.6/(5.67 × 10⁻⁸ × 8.3 × 10⁻⁵ × 0.288) = 4.174 × 10¹⁴ K⁴

T  =  2541.799 K

The temperature = 2541.799 K.

Through which of these media do sound waves travel most slowly? A.iron. B.Wood. C.Water. D.Cold Air
EleoNora [17]
The answer should be D) Cold air because even though its true sound can travel through all types of matter, air which is a gas, can travel but it travels SLOWLY while sound travels quickly in SOLIDS.
