A 1.3 kgkg block slides along a frictionless surface at 1.3 m/sm/s . A second block, sliding at a faster 5.0 m/sm/s , collides w

ith the first from behind and sticks to it. The final velocity of the combined blocks is 2.5 m/sm/s . What was the mass of the second block?

Answer:

0.624 kg

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of one block, $m_1=1.3 kg$

$v_1=1.3 m/s$

$v_2=5 m/s$

$V=2.5 m/s$

We have to find the mass of second block.

Mass of second block, $m_2=\frac{m_1V-m_1v_1}{v_2-V}$

Substitute the values

$m_2=\frac{1.3\times 2.5-1.3\times 1.3}{5-2.5}$

$m_2=0.624 kg$

Hence, the mass of second block=0.624Kg

Answer:

The mass of the second block is 0.624 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the block 1, m₁ = 1.3 kg

Speed of block 1, u₁ = 1.3 m/s

Speed of block 2, u₂ = 5 m/s

The final velocity of the combined blocks is 2.5 m/s, V = 2.5 m/s

It is a case of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\1.3\times 1.3+5m_2=(1.3+m_2)2.5\\\\1.69+5m_2=3.25+2.5m_2\\\\m_2=0.624\ kg$

So, the mass of the second block is 0.624 kg.

Rebecca heated 50mL of water from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius. How much energy did she use to heat the water? Rememb

Answer:

Q = 12540 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of water, m = 50 mL = 50 g

It is heated from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius.

We need to find the energy required to heat the water. The formula use to find it as follows :

$Q=mc\Delta T$

Where c is the specific heat of water, c = 4.18 J/g°C

Put all the values,

$Q=50\times 4.18\times (60-0)\\Q=12540\ J$

So, 12540 J of energy is used to heat the water.

A 2-lb slider is propelled upward at A along the fixed curved bar which lies in a vertical plane. If the slider is observed to h

timofeeve [1]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given in the balance of forces for the tangential force and the centripetal force. An easy way to detail this problem is through a free body diagram that describes the behavior of the body and the forces to which it is subject.

PART A) Normal Force.

$F_n = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

$N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Here,

Normal reaction of the ring is N and velocity of the ring is v

$N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

$N+Wcos\theta = \frac{W}{g} (\frac{v^2}{r})$

$N+2cos30\° = \frac{2}{32.2}*\frac{10^2}{2}$

$N = 1.374lb$

PART B) Acceleration

$F_t = ma_t$

$-mgsin\theta = ma_t$

$-W sin\theta = \frac{W}{g} a_t$

$-2Sin30\° = (\frac{2}{32.2})a_t$

$a_T = -16.10ft/s^2$

Negative symbol indicates deceleration.

stephen buys a new moped . he travels 4km south and then 6km east. how far does he need to go to get back where he started??

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

My answer is 7.2 km

Explanation:

When Stephen goes to the south and then to the east, he is drawing a right triangle, where the 4 km and 6 km sides are the cathetus of a right triangle.

Then we use the Pithagorean theorem to solve this problem. We need to find the hypotenuse.

c² = a² + b²

c² = 4² + 6²

c² = 16 + 36

c² = 52

c = 7.2 km
