Blocks A (mass 2.00 kg) and B (mass 6.00 kg) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block B is at rest and block

A is moving toward it at 2.00 m/s. The blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. The collision is head-on, so all motion before and after the collision is along a straight line. (a) Find the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers and the velocity of each block at that time. (b) Find the velocity of each block after they have moved apart.

Answer:

av=0.333m/s, U=3.3466J

b.

v_{A2}=-1.333m/s,\\ v_{B2}=0.667m/s

Explanation:

a. let m_A be the mass of block A, andm_B=10.0kg be the mass of block B. The initial velocity of A,\rightarrow v_A_1=2.0m/s

-The initial momentum =Final momentum since there's no external net forces.

pA_1+pB_1=pA_2+pB_2\\\\P=mv\\\\\therefore m_Av_A_1+m_Bv_B_1=m_Av_{A2}+m_Bv_{B2}

Relative velocity before and after collision have the same magnitude but opposite direction (for elastic collisions):

v_A_1-v_B_1=v_{B2}-v_{A2}

-Applying the conservation of momentum. The blocks have the same velocity after collision:

v_{B2}=v_{A2}=v_2\\\\2\times 2+10\times 0=2v_2+10v_2\\\\v_2=0.3333m/s

#Total Mechanical energy before and after the elastic collision is equal:

K_1+U_{el,1}=K_2+U_{el,2}\\\\#Springs \ in \ equilibrium \ before \ collision\\\\U_{el,2}=K_1-K_2=0.5m_Av_A_1^2-0.5(m_A+m_B)v_2^2\\\\U_{el,2}=0.5\times 2\times 2^2-0.5(2+10)(0.333)^2\\\\U_{el,2}=3.3466J

Hence, the maxumim energy stored is U=3.3466J, and the velocity=0.333m/s

b. Taking the end collision:

From a above, m_A=2.0kg, m_B=10kg, v_A=2.0,v_B_1=0

We plug these values in the equation:

m_Av_A_1+m_Bv_B_1=m_Av_{A2}+m_Bv_{B2}

2\times2+10\times0=2v_A_2+10v_B_2\\\\2=v_A_2+5v_B_2\\\\#Eqtn 2:\\v_A_1-v_B_1=v_{B2}-v_{A2}\\\\2-0=v_{B2}-v_{A2}\\\\2=v_{B2}-v_{A2}\\\\#Solve \ to \ eliminate \ v_{A2}\\\\6v_{B2}=2.0\\\\v_{B2}==0.667m/s\\\\#Substitute \ to \ get \ v_{A2}\\\\v_{A2}=\frac{4}{6}-2=1.333m/s

A toroid having a square cross section, 5.00 cm on a side, and an inner radius of 15.0 cm has 500 turns and carries a current of
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

a).β=0.53x10^{-3} T

a).β=0.40 x10^{-4} T

Explanation:

The magnetic field at distance 'r' from the center of toroid is given by:

\beta =\frac{u_{o}*I*N}{2\pi*r}

a).

N=500\\I=0.800A\\r=15cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.15m\\u_{o}=4\pi x10^{-7}\frac{T*m}{A}  \\\beta=\frac{4\pi x10^{-7}\frac{T*m}{A}*0.8A*500}{2\pi*0.15m} \\\beta=0.53x10^{-3}T

b).

The distance is the radius add the cross section so:

r_{1}=15cm+5cm\\r_{1}=20cm

r_{1} =20cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.20m

\beta =\frac{u_{o}*I*N}{2\pi*r1}

\beta =\frac{4\pi x10^{-7}*0.80A*500 }{2\pi*0.20m} \\\beta=0.4x10^{-3} T

Automobile A and B are initially 30 m apart travelling in adjacent highway lanes at speeds VA = 14.4 km/hr., VB 23.4 km/hr. at t
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

        x = 240 m

Explanation:

This is a kinematics exercise

Let's fix our frame of reference on car A

           x = x₀ₐ+ v₀ₐ t + ½ aₐ t²

         

the initial position of car a is zero

           x = 0 + v₀ₐ t + ½ 0.8 t²

for car B

          x = x_{ob} + v_{ob} t - ½ a_b t²

     

car B's starting position is 30 m

         x = 30 + v_{ob} t - ½ 0.4 t²

at the point where they meet, the position of the two vehicles is the same

         0 + v₀ₐ t + ½ 0.8 t² = 30 + v_{ob} t - ½ 0.4 t²

let's reduce the speeds to the SI system

        v₀ₐ = 14.4 km / h (1000 m / 1 km) (1h / 3600s) = 4 m / s

        v_{ob} = 23.4 km / h = 6.5 m / s

        4 t + 0.4 t² = 30 + 6.5 t - 0.2 t²

        0.2 t² - 2.5 t - 30 = 0

        t² - 12.5 t - 150 = 0

we solve the quadratic equation

       t = \frac{12.5 \pm \sqrt{12.5^2 + 4 \ 150}  }{2}

       t = \frac{12.5 \  \pm 27.5}{2}

       t₁ = 20 s

       t₂ = -7.5 s

time must be a positive quantity so the correct result is t = 20 s

let's look for the distance

        x = 4 t + ½ 0.8 t²

        x = 4 20 + ½ 0.8 20²

        x = 240 m
