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

A large container contains a large amount of water. A hole is drilled on the wall of the container, at a vertical distance h = 0

barxatty [35]

Answer:

Velocity = 3.25[m/s]

Explanation:

This problem can be solved if we use the Bernoulli equation: In the attached image we can see the conditions of the water inside the container.

In point 1, (surface of the water) we have the atmospheric pressure and at point 2 the water is coming out also at atmospheric pressure, therefore this members in the Bernoulli equation could be cancelled.

The velocity in the point 1 is zero because we have this conditional statement "The water surface drops very slowly and its speed is approximately zero"

h2 is located at point 2 and it will be zero.

$(P_{1} +\frac{v_{1}^{2} }{2g} +h_{1} )=(P_{2} +\frac{v_{2}^{2} }{2g} +h_{2} )\\P_{1} =P_{2} \\v_{1}=0\\h_{2} =0\\v_{2}=\sqrt{0.54*9.81*2}\\v_{2}=3.25[m/s]$

ehicle collisions involve huge amounts of energy. How does the crashworthiness of a car affect the transfer and transformations

Angelina_Jolie [31]

When the two-vehicle collides transformation of the energy is done in terms of kinetic energy.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of energy?</h3>

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can be transferred from one form to another.

The total energy is the sum of all the energies present in the system. The potential energy in a system is due to its position in the system.

In the above problem, the Vehicle get collides so that the kinetic energy of the vehicle is converted into the kinetic energy of another vehicle the speed of the vehicle will reduce when they collide.

Momentum also gets conserved when the two vehicles collide.

Hence, the transformation of the energy is done in terms of kinetic energy.

To learn more about the law of conservation of energy, refer to brainly.com/question/2137260.

Please help thank you

Margarita [4]

Answer:

$\theta \approx 59.036^{\circ}$ , $T_{2} \approx 23.324\,N$

Explanation:

First we build the Free Body Diagram (please see first image for further details) associated with the mass, we notice that system consist of a three forces that form a right triangle (please see second image for further details): (i) The weight of the mass, (ii) two tensions.

The requested tension and angle can be found by the following trigonometrical and geometrical expressions:

$\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{W}{T_{2}}$ (1)

$T_{1} = \sqrt{W^{2}+T_{2}^{2}}$ (2)

Where:

$W$ - Weight of the mass, measured in newtons.

$T_{1}$ , $T_{2}$ - Tensions from the mass, measured in newtons.

If we know that $W = 20\,N$ and $T_{2} = 12\,N$ , then the requested values are, respectively:

$\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{20\,N}{12\,N}$

$\theta \approx 59.036^{\circ}$

$T_{2} = \sqrt{(20\,N)^{2}+(12\,N)^{2}}$

$T_{2} \approx 23.324\,N$
