Block 2 of mass 1.00 kg is at rest on a frictionless surface and touching the end of an unstretched spring of spring constant 20

0 N/m. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. Block 1 of mass 2.00 kg, traveling at speed ????1 = 4.00 m/s, collides with block 2, and the two blocks stick together.When the blocks momentarily stop, by what distance is the spring compressed?

Answer:

x = 0.327 m

Explanation:

Block 2 of mass 1.00 kg is at rest

spring constant = 200 N/m            

Block 1 of mass 2 kg moving at 4 m/s

m₁ v₁ = (m₁ + m₂)V                                

2 x 4 = (2 + 1) V                                                      

V = 2.67 m/s                                                        

loss of kinetic energy = gain elastic potential energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2                  

\dfrac{1}{2}\times (3)\times 2.67^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 200 \times x^2

x = 0.327 m

hence, the spring compressed distance is equal to x = 0.327 m

what do you think is the purpose of a periscope? Are there any other uses for periscopes besides for submarines?
spin [16.1K]

Military personnel also use periscopes in some gun turrets and in armoured vehicles. More complex periscopes using prisms or advanced fibre optics instead of mirrors and providing magnification operate on submarines and in various fields of science

A car of m = 1200. kg collides with a tree while traveling 60.0 mph. The collision occurs over a time period of 0.0500 seconds.
MrRissso [65]
You may know linear momentum is given by P= mass.velocity. Initially car is moving with some velocity so you know initial momentum of the car. Finally it comes to rest i.e final momentum of the car is 0. According to Newton's second law : Force = change in momentum /time. Applying this you'll get answer as 642840N. Hope it helped you. Revert back to me if you have any questions. Please check out the calculation it might be wrong!

Photoelectrons with a maximum speed of 8.00 • 106 m/sec are ejected froma surface in the presence of light with a frequency of 6
Andru [333]

The kinetic energy is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

We know the mass and the maximum speed, plugging their values in the expression above we have:

\begin{gathered} K=\frac{1}{2}(9.1\times10^{-31})(8\times10^6)^2 \\ K=2.91\times10^{-17}\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is d.

What mass of ice (in g) can be melted if 27.2 kJ of thermal energy are added at the freezing point? Use molar mass = 18.02 g/mol
san4es73 [151]

Answer : The mass of ice melted can be, 3.98 grams.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of ice.

Q=\frac{\Delta H}{n}

where,

Q = energy absorbed = 27.2 kJ

\Delta H = enthalpy of fusion of ice = 6.01 kJ/mol

n = moles = ?

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

27.2kJ=\frac{6.01kJ/mol}{n}

n=0.221mol

Now we have to calculate the mass of ice.

\text{Mass of ice}=\text{Moles of ice}\times \text{Molar mass of ice}

Molar mass of ice = 18.02 g/mol

\text{Mass of ice}=0.221mol\times 18.02g/mol=3.98g

Thus, the mass of ice melted can be, 3.98 grams.
