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

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:
A) object moves 20 N [West] or -20 N [East]
B) object moves 6 N [South] or -6 N [North]
C) object moves 90 N [West] or -90 N [East]
D) object does not move and is at rest*

*Rest means 0


Why:

A)both forces from north and south that are pushing against the object neutralize each other. Assume that north is positive and south is negative: 20 [N] + (-20) [S] = 0
On West and east, you can see that west has a greater force. Assume that west is negative and east is positive: 50 [E] + (-70) [W] = -20 [E]

What is a difference between physical traits and personality traits?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

A physical trait is visible to the naked eye, such as, having six fingers; and a character trait is invisible to the naked eye, such as, being charming. Both can be subjective, for instance, claiming somebody has a big nose is a subjective comment about somebody's physical appearance.

T=2,5s
a=g≈10m/s²

h=s=?

s= \frac{1}{2} at^2 \Leftrightarrow h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}*10m/s^2 *(2,5s)^2=5m/s^2* \frac{25}{4} s^2=\boxed{31,25m}

A 125kg bumper car going 12m/s hits a 235kg bumper car going -13m/s.if the first car bounces back at -12.5m/s what is the veloci
vovikov84 [41]
According to the law of conservation of momentum:

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}'+m_{2}v_{2}'

m1 = mass of first object
m2 = mass of second object
v1 = Velocity of the first object before the collision
v2 = Velocity of the second object before the collision
v'1 = Velocity of the first object after the collision
v'2 = Velocity of the second object after the collision

Now how do you solve for the velocity of the second car after the collision? First thing you do is get your given and fill in what you know in the equation and solve for what you do not know. 

m1 = 125 kg     v1 = 12m/s      v'1 = -12.5m/s
m2 = 235kg      v2 = -13m/s     v'2 = ?

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}'+m_{2}v_{2}'
(125kg)(12m/s)+(235kg)(-13m/s)=(125kg)(-12.5m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}'
1,500kg.m/s+(-3055kg.m/s)=(-1562.5kg.m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}')
-1,555kg.m/s=(-1562.5kg.m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}')

Transpose everything on the side of the unknown to isolate the unknown. Do not forget to do the opposite operation. 

-1,555kg.m/s + 1562.5kg.m/s=(235kg)(v_{2}')
7.5kg.m/s=(235kg)(v_{2}')
(7.5kg.m/s)/(235kg)=(v_{2}')
0.03m/s=(v_{2}')

The velocity of the 2nd car after the collision is 0.03m/s.
