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.

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

An automobile engine delivers 47.4 hp. how much time will it take for the engine to do 6.82 × 105 j of work? one horsepower is e

kogti [31]

1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, so the power of the engine is
$P=47.4 hp \cdot 746 \frac{W}{hp}=35360 W$
The power is also defined as the energy E per unit of time t:
$P= \frac{E}{t}$
Where the energy corresponds to the work done by the engine, which is $E=6.82 \cdot 10^5 J$ . Re-arranging the formula, we can calculate the time t needed to do this amount of work:
$t = \frac{E}{P}= \frac{6.82 \cdot 10^5 J}{35360 W}=19.3 s$

You are given a parallel plate capacitor that has plates of area 29 cm2 which are separated by 0.0100 mm of nylon (dielectric co

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

20.60 kV

Explanation:

Capacitance of parallel plates without dielectric between them is:

$C=\frac{\varepsilon_{0}A}{d}$

with d the distance between the plates, A the area of the plates and ε₀ the constant $8.85419\times10^{-12}\frac{C^{2}}{Nm^{2}}$ , so :

$C_0=\frac{(8.85419\times10^{-12})(0.0029)}{0.0100\times10^{-3}}=2.57\times10^{-9} F$

But the dielectric constant is defined as:

$k=\frac{C}{C_{0}}$

With C the effective capacitance (with the dielectric) and Co the original capacitance (without the dielectric). So, the new capacitance is:

$C=kC_0$

But capacitance is related with voltage by:

$C=\frac{Q}{V}$

with Q the charge and V the voltage, using the new capacitance and solving for V:

$kC_0=\frac{Q}{V}$

$V=\frac{Q}{kC_0}=\frac{0.18\times10{-3}}{(3.4)(2.57\times10^{-9})}=20599.68V=20.60 kV$

B. Why does the moon revolve around the earth? Give<br>reason.[2]

LenKa [72]

Answer:

The moon revolves around Earth because Earth is larger than the moon, so it is heavier, and has a greater gravitational pull. The plane of the moon's orbit is very close to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. This is why planets revolve around the Sun, because it is larger, so therefore it has a greater gravitational pull.

A bullet with a mass ????=12.5 g and speed ????=86.4 m/s is fired into a wooden block with ????=113 g which is initially at rest

skad [1K]

Answer:

a) 8.61 m/s, b) 5.73 m

Explanation:

a) During the collision, momentum is conserved.

mv = (m + M) V

(12.5 g) (86.4 m/s) = (12.5 g + 113 g) V

V = 8.61 m/s

b) After the collision, energy is conserved.

Kinetic energy = Work done by friction

1/2 (m + M) V² = F d

1/2 (m + M) V² = N μk d

1/2 (m + M) V² = (m + M) g μk d

1/2 V² = g μk d

d = V² / (2g μk)

d = (8.61 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s² × 0.659)

d = 5.73 m

Notice we used the kinetic coefficient of friction. That's the friction when an object is moving. The static coefficient of friction is the friction on a stationary object. Since the bullet/block combination is sliding across the surface, we use the kinetic coefficient.

A boat heads north in still water at 4.5 m/s directly across a river that is running east at 3.0 m/s. What is the velocity of th

Fynjy0 [20]

<h2>Velocity of the boat with respect to Earth is 5 m/s 56.31° north of east</h2>

Explanation:

A boat heads north in still water at 4.5 m/s directly across a river that is running east at 3.0 m/s.

Let north be positive y axis and east be positive x axis.

We have

Velocity of boat = 4.5 j m/s

Velocity of river = 3 i m/s

Velocity of the boat with respect to Earth = 3 i + 4.5 j

$\texttt{Magnitude of velocity = }\sqrt{3^2+4.5^2}\\\\\texttt{Magnitude of velocity = }5.41m/s$

$\texttt{Angle = }tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{4.5}{3}\right )\\\\\texttt{Angle = }56.31^0$

That is 56.31° north of east.

Velocity of the boat with respect to Earth is 5 m/s 56.31° north of east
