Answer: a) 6.67cm/s b) 1/2

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the bodies before collision is equal to the momentum of the bodies after collision. Since the second body was initially at rest this means the initial velocity of the body is "zero".

Let m1 and m2 be the masses of the bodies

u1 and u2 be their velocities respectively

m1 = 5.0g m2 = 10.0g u1 = 20.0cm/s u2 = 0cm/s

Since momentum = mass × velocity

The conservation of momentum of the body will be

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

Note that the body will move with a common velocity (v) after collision which will serve as the velocity of each object after collision.

5(20) + 10(0) = (5+10)v

100 + 0 = 15v

v = 100/15

v = 6.67cm/s

Therefore the velocity of each object after the collision is 6.67cm/s

b) kinectic energy of the 10.0g object will be 1/2MV²

= 1/2×10×6.67²

= 222.44Joules

kinectic energy of the 5.0g object will be 1/2MV²

= 1/2×5×6.67²

= 222.44Joules

= 111.22Joules

Fraction of the initial kinetic transferred to the 10g object will be

111.22/222.44

= 1/2

a 10.0 kg sphere is released from rest in an ocean. as it falls, the water applies a resistive force r
dimaraw [331]

The calculated coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.33125.'

The rate of kinetic friction the friction force to normal force ratio experienced by a body moving on a dry, uneven surface is known as k. The friction coefficient is the ratio of the normal force pressing two surfaces together to the frictional force preventing motion between them. Typically, it is represented by the Greek letter mu (). In terms of math, is equal to F/N, where F stands for frictional force and N for normal force.

given mass of the block=10 kg

spring constant k= 2250 Nm

now according to principal of conservation of energy we observe,

the energy possessed by the block initially is reduced by the friction between the points B and C and rest is used up in work done by the spring.

mgh= μ (mgl) +1/2 kx²

10 x 10 x 3= μ(600) +(1125) (0.09)

μ(600) =300 - 101.25

μ = 198.75÷600

μ =0.33125

The complete question is- A 10.0−kg block is released from rest at point A in Fig The track is frictionless except for the portion between point B and C, which has a length of 6.00m the block travels down the track, hits a spring of force constant 2250N/m, and compresses the spring 0.300m form its equilibrium position before coming to rest momentarily. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough surface between point Band (C)

The half-life of caffeine is 5 hours. If you ingested a 30 oz Big Gulp, how many oz of caffeine is left after one half life? * Y
xeze [42]

Answer:

The amount of caffeine left after one half life of 5 hours is 15 oz.

Explanation:

Half life is the time taken for a radioactive substance to degenerate or decay to half of its original size.

The half life of caffeine is 5 hours. So ingesting a 30 oz, this would be reduced to half of its size after the first 5 hours.

So that:

After one half life of 5 hours, the value of caffeine that would be left is;

                                    \frac{30}{2} = 15 oz

The amount of caffeine left after one half life of 5 hours is 15 oz.

Which of the following statements is/are true? Check all that apply. Check all that apply. The total mechanical energy of a syst
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

1) True, 2) True, 3) False, 4) False, 5) False

Explanation:

1) True. Dissipative energy cannot be recovered, in general it is a form of heat

2) True. The dissipation can be by radiation, heat

3) False. Mechanical energy is divided into K and U but not in equal parts

4) False. When there are dissipative interactions, part of the mechanical energy is set in the form of heat, so its value decreases

5) False. Mechanical energy is the sum of those two energies

An object appears red when viewed with white light. What color would it appear when viewed with blue light?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Colour of any object is by the colour of light it reflects i.e if white light is incident on the object,it will reflect blue color.so it will appear blue.But if red light is incident on it,it will not reflect that and absorb it.so as it will not reflect any light it will appear black.
