On a horizontal frictionless surface, a small block with mass 0.200 kg has a collision with a block of mass 0.400 kg. Immediatel

y after the collision, the 0.200 kg block is moving at 12.0 m/s in the direction 30° north of east and the 0.400 kg block is moving at 13.0 m/s in the direction 53.1° south of east. Use coordinates where the x-axis is east and the y-axis is north. (a) What is the total kinetic energy of the two blocks after the collision (in joules)

Answer:48.2 Joules

Explanation:

Given

two masses of 0.2 kg and 0.4 kg collide with each other

after collision 0.2 kg deflect 30 north of east and 0.4 kg deflects 53.1 south of east

Velocity of 0.2 kg mass is

v_{0.2}=12\cos (30)\hat{i}+12\sin (30)\hat{j}

|v_{0.2}|=11.99 m/s\approx 12 m/s

Velocity of 0.4 kg mass

v_{0.4}=13\cos (53.1)\hat{i}-12\sin (53.1)\hat{j}

|v_{0.4}|=12.99 m/s\approx 13 m/s

Thus total Kinetic energy =\frac{0.2\times 12^2}{2}+\frac{0.4\times 13^2}{2}

Kinetic energy=48.2 J

What is the magnitude of an electric field in which the electric force on a proton is equal in magnitude to its weight?Use 1.67×
vazorg [7]

The electric force on the proton is:

F = Eq

F = electric force, E = electric field strength, q = proton charge

The gravitational force on the proton is:

F = mg

F = gravitational force, m = proton mass, g = gravitational acceleration

Since the electric force and gravitational force balance each other out, set their magnitudes equal to each other:

Eq = mg

Given values:

q = 1.60×10⁻¹⁹C, m = 1.67×10⁻²⁷kg, g = 9.81m/s²

Plug in and solve for E:

E(1.60×10⁻¹⁹) = 1.67×10⁻²⁷(9.81)

E = 1.02×10⁻⁷N/C
