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}

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

If you were traveling away from earth at speed 0.5c, you wouldn't notice any change in your heartbeat, you won't notice your mass, height and waistline change. This is because you are on the same frame of reference as the ship in spacetime and any measurement done from the ship will give normal readings from an observer on the ship.

For an observer on earth, your heartbeat will be seen to slowdown (because your time on the ship will be perceived to slow down to an

observer on earth). Also, your mass will be seen to increase, you height will also be seen to increase, and your waistline will be seen to decrease when viewed from earth.

The seeds were sown (change the voice)​
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

He sowed the seeds

Explanation:

While the question should have given the person who did the sowing for example the seeds were sown by him/ her/ the farmer/ or any name. Therefore, voice is given in passive and to change passive voice to active voice then the sentence will read as follows assuming that the seeds were sown by him

He sowed the seeds

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?
Sergeu [11.5K]
<h2>Answer: a.The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are spring-loaded to allow them to return quickly to a known position. </h2>

Explanation:

Adaptive optics is a method used in several astronomical observatories to counteract in real time the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on the formation of astronomical images.

This is done through the insertion into the optical path of the telescope of sophisticated deformable mirrors supported by a set of computationally controlled actuators. Thus obtaining clear images despite the effects of atmospheric turbulence that cause the unwanted distortion.

It should be noted that with this technique it is also necessary to have a moderately bright reference star that is very close to the object to be observed and studied. However, it is not always possible to find such stars, so a powerful laser beam is used to point towards the Earth's upper atmosphere and create artificial stars.
