A 2.2 kgkg block slides along a frictionless surface at 1.2 m/sm/s . A second block, sliding at a faster 4.0 m/sm/s , collides w

ith the first from behind and sticks to it. The final velocity of the combined blocks is 1.8 m/sm/s ?

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

Does the under water pressure depend on the molecules of the air or what does it depend on
miskamm [114]

Answer:the pressure depends on gas and it will be half as much underwater

Explanation:

Water pressure increases with the depth of the water. This is because the weight of the column of water above the object increases. But a large, shallow pond may have more water in it than a small, deep pond.

This is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure, the force per unit area exerted by a liquid on an object. The deeper you go under the sea, the greater the pressure of the water pushing down on you. For every 33 feet (10.06 meters) you go down, the pressure increases by one atmosphere .

For the PE formula, why is the height required for calculations? Why do we need to know the height in order to determine PE? *
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Answer in Explanation

Explanation:

Whenever we talk about the gravitational potential energy, it means the energy stored in a body due to its position in the gravitational field. Now, we know that in the gravitational field the work is only done when the body moves vertically. If the body moves horizontally on the same surface in the Earth's Gravitational Field, then the work done on the body is considered to be zero. Hence, the work done or the energy stored in the object while in the gravitational field is only possible if it moves vertically. This vertical distance is referred to as height. <u>This is the main reason why we require height in the P.E formula and calculations.</u>

The derivation of this formula is as follows:

Work = Force * Displacement

For gravitational potential energy:

Work = P.E

Force = Weight = mg

Displacement = Vertical Displacement = Height = h

Therefore,

P.E = mgh
