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 should be done to lift the same load by applying less effort on an inclined plane​
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Reduce the friction at the surface

Explanation:

If you can reduce the friction between the load and the plane less effort will be required as you are not having to apply effort to overcome friction.

A 5.0 cm object is 12.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 24.0 cm. The distance between the image and the mirr
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The answer is 24cm

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the curved mirrors, a concave type

Given data

Object height h= 5cm

Object distance = 12cm

Focal length f=24cm

Let the image distance be v=?

Applying the formula we have

1/v +1/u= 1/f

Substituting our given data

1/v+1/12=1/24

1/v=1/24-1/12

1/v=1-2/24

1/v=-1/24

v= - 24cm

This implies that the image is on the same side as the object and it is real

Santa doesn't want to push a 25.0 kg wooden box across a wooden floor with a uk of 0.20 at
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

49 N

Explanation:

In order to move the box at constant speed, the acceleration of the box must be zero (a=0): this means, according to Newton's second law,

F = ma

that the net force acting on the box, F, must be zero as well.

Here there are two forces acting on the box in the horizontal direction while it is moving:

- The force of push applied by the guy, F

- The frictional force, F_f

For an object moving on a flat surface, the frictional force is given by

F_f = \mu_k mg

where

\mu_k is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the box

g is the acceleration of gravity

So the equation of the forces becomes

F-\mu_k mg = 0

And substituting:

\mu_k = 0.20\\m = 25.0 kg\\g = 9.8 m/s^2

We find the force that must be applied by the guy:

F=\mu_k mg = (0.20)(25.0)(9.8)=49 N
