Given two identical 2.2 kg masses. The first mass is moving with a velocityFind the kinetic energy of the compound system immedi

ately after the collision. Answer in units of J.v1 immediately before colliding with the second mass, which is suspended by a string of length 0.82 m . The two masses are stuck together as a result of the collision. The compound system then swings to the right and rises to the horizontal level. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2

Answer:

E_k = 0.55v_1^2 J

h = 0.0128v_1^2

where v_1 is the initial velocity of the moving block

Explanation:

We can apply the law of momentum conservation to calculate the compund velocity post-collision:

m_1v_1 +m_2v_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v

where m_1 = m_2 = 2.2 kg are the masses of block 1 (the moving block) and block 2. v_1 , v_2 are the initial velocities before collision of block 1 and 2, and v_2 = 0m/s as it's at rest initially.

2.2v_1 + 0 = (2.2 + 2.2)v

v = 2.2v_1/4.4 = 0.5v_1

So the kinetic energy right after the collision is

E_k = \frac{(m_1 + m_2)v^2}{2} = \frac{(2.2 + 2.2)(0.5v_1)^2}{2} = \frac{4.4*0.25v_1^2}{2} = 0.55v_1^2 J

To calculate the horizontal level where the compound rises to, we need to apply the law energy conservation. As the compound rises its kinetic energy is converted to potential energy:

E_p = E_k

mgh = mv^2/2

where m is the mass and h is the vertical distance traveled, v is the velocity at the bottom, and g = 9.8 m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration.We can divide both sides by m:

gh = v^2/2

h = v^2/(2g) = (0.5v_1)^2/(2g) = v_1^2/(8*9.8) = 0.0128v_1^2

We can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant volume and number of moles of the gas the ratio of T and P is equal to some constant. At another set of condition, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1/P1 = T2/P2

P2 = T2 x P1 / T1

P2 = 273 x 340 / 713

<span>P2 = 130 kPa</span>

Suppose a ray of light traveling in a material with an index of refraction n a reaches an interface with a material having an in
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: C and D

Explanation: One of the first rule for total internal reflection to occur is that the ray must move from a dense to a less dense medium, hence refractive index of medium a must be greater than that of b.

When a ray moves from a dense to a less dense medium, the refracted ray moves away from the normal thus increasing the size of the angle of refraction (total internal refraction occurs when the angle of refraction is 90° and the angle of incidence at this point is known as the critical angle), hence the angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle.

These points verifies option C and D
