A plank of length L and mass M hangs from an axle passing through one end. The other end is allowed to hang down so that it just

brushes a workbench. You place a box of height h and mass m so that it just touches the plank when sitting on the bench. You then raise the plank up, turning around the axle, so that its movable end is a height H above the bench. You let the plank go, it pivots around the axle, and hits the ball elastically. How fast does the box move after the collision if it slides without friction?

Answer:

v = ((M(√2gH)/3m)

Explanation:

Initial Moment of Inertia= Moment of Inertia of Rod

I = (ML²)/3

Linear Velocity of moveable end of the rod, just before collision is given by = v = (√2gH)/L

Initial Angular Momentum, about the point of the suspension:

Li= Iw = {(ML²)/3} . {(√2gH)/L} = {ML(√2gH)}/3

Final Angular Momentum = Li = mvl, where 'v' is the speed of the mass 'm' after the collision

Since the collision is elastic, all momentum will be conserved, which means

Initial Angular Momemtum = Final Angular Momentum

{ML(√2gH)}/3 = mvL

solving for v = {(M)/3m} . {(√2gH)/L}

How many valence electrons are in alkali metals
tatuchka [14]
If you look on the periodic table you will see the top group elements depending on how the elements relate to each in the column. All of the elements in that column show they all have 1 electron in their valence shell. Some of the chemicals in that family or group are Sodium, Lithium, Potassium. The are very reactive because they only have one electron and what 7 more to become stable.

You have been called in by your neighborhood safety council to advise them about installing a barrier on a dangerous curve that
Alborosie

Answer: The softer barrier is the better option

Explanation:

1) When is a car is moving at a certain speed, it has a certain amount of momentum (p=mv). A collision against a barrier would cause its momentum to decrease to 0. A change in momentum is Impulse

2) The formula for Impulse: J = f * Δt

J is Impulse

f is the force applied during the time Δt

A tough barrier would produce a smaller Δt, which means more force is applied on the car. (J is always constant)

A softer barrier would apply less force on the car, which means Δt is large.

Answer: The softer barrier is the better option

Is the star moving toward earth, away from earth, or is there not enough information provided to determine its motion?
ivanzaharov [21]

If a star is moving towards Earth, shift towards the blue end of the spectrum, this is called blue shift. If the star is moving away from Earth the light from that star will be red and is called red shift .

The faster a star moves towards the earth, the more its light is shifted to higher frequencies. In contrast, if a star is moving away from the earth, its light is shifted to lower frequencies on the color spectrum

if a star is moving towards Earth, it appears to emit light that is shorter in wavelength compared to a source of light that isn't moving. Because shorter wavelengths correspond to a shift towards the blue end of the spectrum, this is called blue shift.

If the star is moving away from Earth, its light will lose energy to reach Earth, therefore the light from that star will be red and is called red shift
