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

Red light strikes a metal surface and electrons are ejected. If violet light is now used with a 10% greater intensity, what will
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

correct answer is C

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect was correctly described by Einstein, where he assumes that the light ray is formed by photons that are articulated and behaves like an elastic shock, the energy of this particular is described by the Planck equation.

             K = h f + Ф

where k is the kinetic energy of the electrons, f the frequency of the photons and Ф the work function of the material.

In this experiment, red light removes electrons, it is assumed that each photon spreads an electron if we have another light with more energy and 10% more intense, that is, with 10% more shapes and each arcane an electron the number of electrons removed of; material is increased by 10%.

The change in wavelength and consequently the frequency

            c = λ f

            f = c /λ

therefore, the wavelength of the voilet λ = 400 num has a higher frequency and therefore more energy, so that the turned-on turns have more kinetic energy.

With these approaches we examine the final answers where the correct answer is C

how much energy would microraptor gui have to expend to fly with a speed of 10 m/sm/s for 1.0 minute?
Ray Of Light [21]

Much energy as would Microraptor gui have to expend to fly with a speed of 10 m/s for 1.0 minutes is 486 J.

The first step is to find the energy that Microraptor must release to fly at 10 m/s for 1.0 minutes. The energy that Microraptor must expend to fly can be found using the relationship between Power and Energy.

P = E/t

Where:

P = power (W)

T = time (s)

Now, a minimum of 8.1 W is required to fly at 10 m/s. So, the energy expended in 1 minute (60 seconds) is

P = E/t

E = P x t

E = 8.1 x 60

E = 486 Joules

Thus, the energy that Microraptor must expend to fly at 10 m/s for 1.0 minutes is the 486 J.
