Blocks A (mass 3.50 kg) and B (mass 6.50 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. Let +x be the direction of the initial motion of block A.a) Find the velocity of block A when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum.b) Find the velocity of block A when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum.c) Find the velocity of block B when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum.d) Find the velocity of block A after they have moved apart.e) Find the velocity of block B after they have moved apart.

Answer:

(a) V (A) =  0.7 m/s,

(b) V (A) =  0.7 m/s,

(c) V (B) =  0.7 m/s

(d) u= - 0.60 m/s

(e) v = 0.75 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

M(A) =3.50 Kg, M(B)=6.50 Kg, V(A) = 2.00 m/s, V(B) = 0 m/s

Sol:

a)  law of conservation of momentum

M(a) x V(A) + M(B) x V(B) = ( M(a) + M(B) ) V      (let V is Common Velocity of Both block)

so 3.50 Kg x 2.00 m/s + 6.50 Kg x 0 m/s = (3.50 Kg + 6.50 Kg ) V

after solving V =  0.7 m/s

After the collision the velocities of the both block will be as the the spring is compressed maximum.

V (A) =  0.7 m/s

b)  V(A) =  0.7 m/s ( Part (a) and Part (a) are repeated )

c) as stated above the in the Part (a)

V(B) =  0.7 m/s

d) When the both blocks moved apart after the collision:

Let u=velocity of block A after the collision.

and v = velocity of block B after the collision.

then conservation of momentum

M(a) x V(A) + M(B) x V(B) = M(a) x v + M(B) x u

⇒ 3.50 Kg x 2.00 m/s + 6.50 Kg x 0 m/s =  3.50 Kg x u + 6.50 Kg x v

⇒ 2.00 m/s = u + 1.86 v -----eqn (1)  ( dividing both side by 3.50 Kg)

For elastic collision  

the velocity relative approach = velocity relative separation

so 2.00 m/s = v-u  ----- eqn (2)

⇒v = u + 2.00 m/s

putting this value in eqn (1) we get

2.00 m/s = u + 1.86 (v + 2.00 m/s)

u= - 0.60 m/s

e) putting v= 2.00 m/s in eqn (1)

2.00 m/s = - 2.32 m/s + 1.86 v

v = 0.75 m/s

What are the main activities involved in studying physics?
Firlakuza [10]
The main activity that is involved in studying of physics is the study of natural laws. The study of physics has to do with many aspects of the universe. Physics majorly looks into the natural laws that operate in the universe and describe how they affect matter in relation to time.

Earth's lithospheric plates interact at____.
earnstyle [38]

Explanation:

Tectonic plate interactions are classified into three basic types: Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. These are also known as constructive boundaries. Convergent boundaries are areas where plates move toward each other and collide.

A circus act involves a trapeze artist and a baby elephant. They are going to balance on a teeter-totter that is 10 meters long
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Explanation:

Balance point will be achieved as soon as the weight of the baby elephant creates torque equal to torque created by weight of woman about the pivot. torque by weight of woman

weight x distance from pivot

= 500x 5

= 2500 Nm

torque by weight of baby woman , d be distance of baby elephant from pivot at the time of balance

= 2500x d

for equilibrium

2500 d = 2500

d = 1 m

So elephant will have to walk up to 1 m close to pivot or middle point.

The magnitude of each force is 208 N the force on the right is applied at an angle 36° and the mass of the block is 17 kg the co
djyliett [7]

Answer:

<em>11.06m/s²</em>

Explanation:

According to Newtons second law of motion

\sm F_x = ma_x\\F_m - F_f = ma_x\\mgsin \theta - \mu R mgcos \theta = ma_x\\

Given

Mass m = 17kg

Fm = 208N

theta = 36 degrees

g = 9.8m/s²

a is the acceleration

Substitute

208 - 0.148(17)(9.8)cos 36 = 17a

208 - 24.6568cos36 = 17a

208 - 19.9478 = 17a

188.05 = 17a

a = 188.05/17

a = 11.06m/s²

<em>Hence the  the magnitude of the resulting acceleration is 11.06m/s²</em>

an object is acted on by a drag force with a magnitude that is proportional to the speed. the object accelerates downward at 3.0
Nutka1998 [239]

The terminal speed of the object falling down is 66.67 m/s.

The terminal speed acquired by the body when,

Weight of the body = Drag force of the body

It is given,

Drag force is directly proportional to the speed,

So,

F = CV

Where F is drag force,

V is the speed,

C is the constant,

So, it can be written as C = F/V.

The weight of the body = mg

The weight of the body = 10m

M is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity,

The drag force when the speed is 20m/s.

Drag force = ma

a is the acceleration during the drag force which is given to be 3m/s²,

Drag force = 3m

Now we can write,

F₁/V₁ = F₂/V₂

F₁ is the drag force at 20m/s speed.

F₂ is the weight of the body and V₂ is the terminal speed,

Now, it can be written,

3m/20 = 10m/V₂

V₂ = 66.67 m/s.

So, the terminal speed is 66.67m/s.
