Two objects, X and Y, are held at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface and a spring is compressed between them. The mass of

X is 2/5 times the mass of Y. Immediately after the spring is released, X has a kinetic energy of 50 J and Y has a kinetic energy of:

Answer:

20J

Explanation:

Using conservation law of momentum;

since the bodies were at rest, their initial momentum is zero

0 =  M1Vx + M2Vy

- M1Vx = M2Vy where Vx is the final velocity of x after the spring has been release and Vy is final velocity of y and M1 and M2 are the masses of x and y

also M1 = 2/5 M2

substitute M1 into the the equation above

-2/5 M2Vx =  M2Vy

cancel M2 on both side

-2/5Vx =  Vy

comparing the kinetic energy of both x and y

for x K.E = 1/2 M1 Vx²

and y K.E = 1/2M2 Vy²

substitute for M1 = 2/5 M2

K.Ex = 1/2 × 2/5 M2 Vx²

divide  K.Ex / K.Ey = (1/2 × 2/5 M2 Vx²) / 1/2 M2 Vy²

cancel the common terms

K.Ex / K.Ey = (2/5 Vx²) / Vy²

substitute -2/5Vx for Vy

(2/5 Vx²) / ( -2/5 Vx)² = (2/5 Vx²) / ( 4/25 Vx²)

cancel Vx²

(2/5) / (4/25) = 2/5 ÷ 4/25 = 2/5 × 25/4 = 5/2

the ratio of x and y kinetic energy is 5:2

since the kinetic energy of x is 50

50 : 20 = 5 : 2 if 10 is used to divide both sides

the kinetic energy of y = 20 J

If a substance is found to be reactive flammable soluble and explosive what observation is also a physical property
Ainat [17]

Answer:

  • <u><em>soluble</em></u>

Explanation:

Chemical properties only manifest when a chemical reaction occurs. Being reactive, flammable and explosive are chemical properties, because they involve chemical reactions: the substances are changed; the chemical bonds of some substances, called reactants, are broken, and the chemical bonds are created, forming other substances, called products.

Solubility is a<em> physical property</em> because during dissolution no new substances are formed. You can prove it when the solvent evaporates leaving behind the same original substance.

The the observation that the substance is <em>soluble</em> is describing a <em>physical property.</em>

Monochromatic light of wavelength 580 nm passes through a single slit and the diffraction pattern is observed on a screen. Both
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Part a)

Width of the slit is

a = 580 nm

Part b)

Ratio of intensity is given as

\frac{I}{I_o} = 0.81

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know by the formula of diffraction we will have

a sin\theta = \lambda

so we have

\theta = 90

\lambda = 580 nm

so we will have

a sin90 = 580 nm

a = 580 nm

Part b)

As we know that the intensity in diffraction pattern is given as

I = I_o (\frac{sin\theta}{\theta})^2

\frac{I}{I_o} = (\frac{sin\theta}{\theta})^2

so for angle 45 degree

\frac{I}{I_o} = (\frac{sin45}{\pi/4})^2

\frac{I}{I_o} = (\frac{sin45}{\pi/4})^2

\frac{I}{I_o} = 0.81
