Recall that the blocks can only move along the x axis. the x components of their velocities at a certain moment are v1x and v2x.

find the x component of the velocity of the center of mass (vcm)x at that moment. keep in mind that, in general: vx=dx/dt. express your answer in terms of m1, m2, v1x, and v2x.

The center of mass is given with this formula:
x_c=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}m_ix_i}{M}
Velocity is:
v=\frac{dv}{dt}
So, for the velocity of the center of mass we have:
\frac{dx_c}{dt}=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}d(m_ix_i)}{Mdt}\\
v_c=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}p_i}{M}\\
In our case it is:
v_{xc}=\frac{m_1v_{x1}+m_2v_{x2}}{m_1+m_2}

A Red-Tailed Hawk leaves its nest and flies 100.0 meters across the sky in 20 seconds, when it spots a garter snake on the groun
igomit [66]
Speed = distance / time.

Speed of him leaving the nest:
S = 100 / 20sec

5 m/s.

Catching the snake:
S2 = 50 / 5sec

10 m/s.

Average of 5& 10 = 7.5

7.5 m/s has to be the answer.

Can you help me? Thanks! 10+ points!

Explanation:

velocity: average velocity equals Displacement /change in time.

Kinetic energy: K=1/2mv^2 (m = Mass) ( v = Velocity).

speed using the kinetic energy is also KE =1/2mv^2

(M in Kg) (V in m/s)

Consider a cloudless day on which the sun shines down across the United States. If 2073 kJ of energy reaches a square meter ( m
Mnenie [13.5K]

The total amount of energy per hour is 2.039\cdot 10^{16} kJ

Explanation:

In this problem we are told that the amount of energy reaching a square meter in the United States per hour is

E_1 = 2073 kJ

The total surface area of the United States is

A=9.834\cdot 10^6 km^2

And converting into squared metres,

A=9.834\cdot 10^6 \cdot 10^6 = 9.834\cdot 10^{12} m^2

Therefore, the total energy reaching the entire United States per hour is given by:

E=AE_1 = (9.834\cdot 10^{12})(2073)=2.039\cdot 10^{16} kJ
