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 helium balloon has an internal pressure of 2.5 atm when it occupies 4.5 L. If it was compressed until it had a pressure of 3.3
steposvetlana [31]

Answer: V = 3.4 L

Explanation: Use Boyle's Law to find the new volume. P1V1 = P2V2, derive for V2, then the formula will be V2= P1V1 / P2

V2 = 2.5 atm ( 4.5 L ) / 3.3 atm

= 3.4 L

Which statement best describes the movement of electrical current when a capacitor is used in a circuit?
Masteriza [31]

Answer: B.

Capacitors prevent current from moving through a circuit 

Explanation:

If a direct voltage is applied on the capacitor, no conduction current flows through the capacitor if its insulating medium is perfect insulator. This is due to the fact that there are no free charge carriers in such medium. Basically the real insulator contains very few charge carriers and therefore a very small leakage current passes in the capacitor depending on the conductivity of the insulator.

If an alternating voltage is applied on the capacitor, a displacement current passes through the capacitor irrespective of the insulating medium. This current is termed also the capacitive current. It flows because of changing electric displacement with time.
