A hand pushes two blocks, A and B, along a frictionless table for a distance d. When the hand starts to push, the blocks are mov

ing with a speed of 2 m/s. Suppose that the work done on block A by the hand during a given displacement is 10 J. Determine the final energy of each block. Mass of A is 4kg, mass of B is 1kg.

  <span>net work = change in kinetic energy 

for Block B, we just have the force from block A acting on it 
F(ab)d= .5(1)vf² - .5(1)(2²) 
F(ab)d= .5vf² - 2 

Block A, we have the force from the hand going in one direction and the force of block B on A going the opposite direction 

10-F(ba)d = .5(4)vf² - .5(4)(2²) 
10-F(ba)d = 2vf² - 8 
F(ba)d = 18 - 2vf² 

now we have two equations: 
F(ba)d = 18 - 2vf² 
F(ab)d= .5vf² - 2 

since the magnitude of F(ba) and F(ab) is the same, substitute and find vf (I already took into account the direction when solving for F(ab) 

10-.5vf² + 2 = 2vf² - 8 
12 - .5vf² = 2vf² - 8 
20 = 2.5vf² 
vf² = 8 

they both will have the same velocity 
KE of block A= .5(4)(2.828²) = 16 J 
KE of block B=.5(1)(2.828²) = 4 J</span>

Phosphorus-32, a radioactive isotope of phosphorus-31 (atomic number 15), undergoes a form of radioactive decay whereby a neutro
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The product of the decay its Sulfur-32

Explanation:

Phosphorus-32 ( lets write it _{15}^{32}P, where the number above its the atomic mass and the number below the atomic number) decays turning a neutron into a proton and emitting radiation on the form of a electron. This is the beta minus decay, and, actually, an electronic antineutrino its also produced. We can write this decay for an X isotope with a Y isotope produced as:

_{Z}^{A}X \to _{Z+1}^{A}Y + e^- + \bar{\nu_e}

where e^- its the electron, and \bar{\nu_e} the electronic antineutrino . We can see that the atomic number increases by one (cause a proton it produced and retained into the nucleus), and the atomic mass is approximately the same (there is a small difference between the neutron and proton mass, but its very small).

So, Phosphorus-32 (atomic number 15) will turn to an element with atomic number 16, and atomic mass 32, as:

_{15}^{32}P \to _{15+1}^{32}Y + e^- + \bar{\nu_e}.

_{15}^{32}P \to _{16}^{32}Y + e^- + \bar{\nu_e}.

The Y isotope must have an atomic number of 16 and an atomic mass of 32. The element with atomic number 16 its Sulfur (S), so, our decay its

_{15}^{32}P \to _{16}^{32}S + e^- + \bar{\nu_e}.

and the product of such decay its Sulfur-32

In what way is a piano an example of a quantized system?
uranmaximum [27]

When you play a piano, your energy increases in a uniform, continuous manner and is therefore quantized.When you play a piano, you can press only on individual keys, so that your energy is restricted to certain values and is therefore quantized.

5. What is the velocity of a 0.5 kg ball that has a momentum of 3.00 kg m/s?
kow [346]

Answer:

6 m/s

Explanation:

p=mv

p=3 kg.m/s

m=0.5 kg

rearrange and substitute to find v:

(3)=(0.5)v

v=3/0.5

v=6 m/s
