A green block of mass m slides to the right on a frictionless floor and collides elastically with a red block of mass M which is

initially at rest. After the collision the green block is at rest and the red block is moving to the right.How does m compare to M ?

Answer:

m=M

Explanation:

In case we say that the green block's mass m is less than red block's mass M, then the green block would have bounced and moved back to the left instead of coming to rest. The other case where if mass of green block's mass m would have been greater than the red block's mass M, the green block would have kept moving to the right instead of coming to rest. After collision, the red block moves to the right because of exchange of velocities. Therefore, m=M since m comes to rest and M moves to the right

Answer:

0.64 m from the first charge

Explanation:

Force is given by

F_1=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F_1=\dfrac{k2\times 10^{-9}\times 3.7\times 10^{-9}}{x^2}

F_2=\dfrac{kq_2q_3}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F_1=\dfrac{k4.5\times 10^{-9}\times 3.7\times 10^{-9}}{(1.6-x)^2}

These forces are equal

\dfrac{k2\times 10^{-9}\times 3.7\times 10^{-9}}{x^2}=\dfrac{k4.5\times 10^{-9}\times 3.7\times 10^{-9}}{(1.6-x)^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{x^2}=\dfrac{4.5}{(1.6-x)^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{4.5}=\dfrac{x^2}{(1.6-x)^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4.5}{2}=\dfrac{(1.6-x)^2}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{\dfrac{4.5}{2}}=\dfrac{1.6-x}{x}\\\Rightarrow 1.5=\dfrac{1.6-x}{x}\\\Rightarrow 1.5x+x=1.6\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1.6}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow x=0.64\ m

The distance that charge should be placed is 0.64 m from the first charge

How can you use the graph of velocity versus time to estimate the acceleration of the ball?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer: acceleration = slope  graph velocity vs time

Explanation: if you have the graph of velocity vs time , the slope of that graph equals the acceleration of our object assuming constant acceleration...but remenber por a real object is really hard to keep constant acceleration
