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>

Korolek [52]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Speed of a wave is denoted by:

v=fλ

where f is the frequency which is unchanged 15Hz and λ is the new wavelength which is 28m

v=fλ

v=15(28)\\v=420m/s

How do you think electricity was discovered
sasho [114]
Italian physicist Alessandro Volta discovered that particular chemical reactions could produce electricity, and in 1800 he constructed the voltaic pile (an early electric battery) that produced a steady electric current, and so he was the first person to create a steady flow of electrical charge.

There is an electric field in the region between the two plates. The magnitude of this electric field is ed. This imposes anothe
krok68 [10]

Answer:

it is essential that the charge on the plates are of the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction

Explanation:

The configuration of parallel plates is called a capacitor and is widely used to create constant electric fields inside.

 To obtain this field it is essential that the charge on the plates are of the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction

This is so that the fields created by each plate can be added inside and subtracted from the outside of the plates

Lemon trees receiving the most water produced the most lemons. What is the independent variable, the dependent variable, and the
Veseljchak [2.6K]
The lemon trees will always be the same so they are the constants. The independent variable is the water amount because it is changing. The dependent variable is the amount of lemons because it is the variable being tested. (If we change the amount of water how many lemons will be produced?)

What is the bouncing of light when it changes media
matrenka [14]

When light passes from one medium to another, part of it continues on
into the new medium, while the rest of it bounces away from the boundary,
back into the first medium.

The part of the light that continues on into the new medium is <em>transmitted</em>
light.  Its forward progress at any point in its journey is <em>transmission</em>. 

Its direction usually changes as it crosses the boundary.  The bending is <em>
refraction</em>
.

The part of the light that bounces away from the boundary and heads back
into the first medium is <em>reflected</em> light.  The process of bouncing is <em>reflection</em>.
