Two blocks can collide in a one-dimensional collision. The block on the left hass a mass of 0.40 kg and is initially moving to t
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The velocity of the first block is 1.15m/s while of the second block 2.56m/s.

Explanation:

Momentum is only conserved in an isolated system, and because this problem requires us to find the value of the two variables, we need two equations; therefore, to conserved momentum the energy must be released in to the system only after the collision has occurred.

Therefore, from conservation of momentum

m_1v_1= m_1v_{1f}+m_2v_{2f}

0.4(2.4)= 0.4v_{1f}+0.5v_{2f}

\boxed{\:0.96= 0.4v_{1f}+0.5v_{2f}}

and from conservation of energy

$\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+1.2 = \frac{1}{2} m_1v_{1f}^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_{2f}^2  $

m_1v_1^2+2.4 =  m_1v_{1f}^2+m_2v_{2f}^2}

$\boxed{\:3.804=  0.4v_{1f}^2+0.5v_{2f}^2.}$

Thus, we have two equations and two unknowns

(1). \: 0.4v_{1f}+0.5v_{2f}=0.96

{(2). \:  0.4v_{1f}^2+0.5v_{2f}^2 =3.804

which has solutions

(v_{1f}, v_{2f}) = (1.15,2.56)

and

(v_{1f}, v_{2f}) = (1.15,-2.56)

Since the blocks cannot pass through each other, the 0.5kg block cannot have v_{2f} = -2.56m/s  (moves to the left) while the 0.4 kg block has v_{1f} = 1.15m/s (moves to the right); therefore, we take the first solution for the velocities:

(v_{1f}, v_{2f}) = (1.15,2.56).

Thus , the velocity of the first block is 1.15m/s while of the second block 2.56m/s.

What’s the voltage of a battery in a circuit with resistance of 3 ohms and current of 5 amps?
alexira [117]

Answer: The correct answer is-15 Volts.

Explanation-

Voltage of a battery can be defined as the difference in electric potential that lies between the positive and negative terminals of a battery.

It can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that the electric potential difference between two points on a circuit is equal to the product of the current that flows between the two points (I) and the total resistance that sis present between the two points. It can be mathematically depicted as-

ΔV = I • R  

Putting the value of 'I' and 'R', we get-

ΔV = 5 X 3

    =  15 V

Why do we use the hydrogen spectrum to identify if a star is red or blue<br> shifted? *
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

But if you place a clear container filled with hydrogen gas between the flashlight and the prism, gaps appear in the smooth rainbow of colors, places where the light literally goes missing. The dark absorption lines of a star at rest (left) get shifted towards red if the star is moving away from Earth (right)

A sailcraft is stalled on a windless day. A fan is attached to the craft and blows air into the sail which bounces backward upon
mylen [45]

Answer:

Impulse = change in momentum w bounce

There are 2 impulses acting. Recoil of the fan going the negative direction and the impulse of the air bouncing off the sail. The greater impulse will bounce so the direction will be to the right moving the craft.

Why do you need a driver’s license to buy alcohol when you can’t drink and drive?
exis [7]

Answer:

Because when people under the age of 21 try to buy alcohol, they need to be verified by their state that they are that age. So if they are under legal age, 21,  the store isn't allowed to give them the Alcoholic beverage.
