Answer:

0.6kg

Explanation:

the unknown here is the mass of the second block

applying the law of the conservation of momentum

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v₃

where m₁=mass of first block=2.2kg

m₂=mass of colliding block= ?

v₁= velocity of first block=1.2m/s

v₂=velocity of colliding block=4.0m/s

v₃= final velocity of combined block=1.8m/s

applying the formula above

(2.2 × 1.2) + (m₂ × 4) = (2.2 + m₂) × 1.8

2.64 + 4m₂ = 3.96 + 1.8m₂

collecting like terms

4m₂ - 1.8m₂ = 3.96 - 2.64

2.2m₂=1.32

divide both sides by 2.2

m₂= 0.6kg

C1=4F, C2=4F, C3=2F, C4=4F, C5= 9.2 F. Calculate the equivalent capacitance
grin007 [14]

The equivalent capacitance between A and B points is 2.5F.

<h3>What is parallel plate capacitor?</h3>

The two parallel plates placed at a distance apart used to store charge when electric supply is on.

The capacitance of a capacitor is given by

C = ε₀ A/d

From the given circuit C1, C2 and C3, C4 are in parallel  C1=4F, C2=4F, C3=2F, C4=4F, C5= 9.2 F

C1, C2 = 4 +4 =8F

C3, C4 = 2 +4 =6F

Now , all capacitors are in series.

Total equivalent capacitance is
1 / Ceq = 1/ 8 +1/6 +1/ 9.2

Ceq = 2.5 F

Thus,  the equivalent capacitance between A and B points is 2.5F.

A 78.5-kg man is standing on a frictionless ice surface when he throws a 2.40-kg book horizontally at a speed of 11.3 m/s. With
kirill [66]

Answer:

The man moves across the ice with a speed of 0.345m/s.

Explanation:

From the conservation of linear momentum, we have that the total linear momentum before the book throw is equal to the total linear momentum just after it. Since the initial velocity of the system is zero (so the initial momentum is zero), we have that:

m_mv_m+m_bv_b=0\\\\v_m=-\frac{m_b}{m_m} v_b

Where m_m is the mass of the man, m_b is the mass of the book, and v_m and v_b are their velocities. Plugging in the given values, we can compute the speed of the man (ignoring the negative sign, because we care about the magnitude, not the direction):

v_m=\frac{2.40kg}{78.5kg}(11.3m/s)=0.345m/s

In words, the resulting speed of the man is 0.345m/s.

A student measures the volume of a gas sample at several different temperatures. The results are tabulated as follows:Temperatur
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Check the first and the third choices:

<u><em /></u>

  • <u><em>a. The temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its volume</em></u>
  • <u><em>b. The temperature-to-volume ratio of a gas is constant.</em></u>

Explanation:

Rewrite the table for better understanding:

Temperature of gas (K)     Volume of gas (L)

     298                                     4.55

     315                                      4.81

     325                                     4.96

     335                                        ?

Calculate the ratios temperature to volume with 3 significant figures:

  • 298 / 4.55 = 65.5
  • 315 / 4.81 = 65.5
  • 325 / 4.96 = 65.5

Then, those numbers show a <u><em>constant temperature-to-volume ratio</em></u>, which may be expressed in a formula as:

  • Temperature / Volume = constant, which is a directly proportional variation (the volume increases in a constant proportion to the increase of the temperature).

Hence, the correct choices are:

  • The temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its volume (first statement), and
  • The emperature-to-volume ratio of a gas is constant (third statement).
