two blocks are held together with a compressed spring between them on the surface of a slippery table .one block has three times

the inertia of the other .when the blocks are released ,the spring pushes them away from each other .what is the ratio of their kinetic energies after the release?​

Explanation:

The initial kinetic energy KE_0 for both blocks is zero. Let m_1= m and m_2 =3m. So using the conservation law of linear momentum, we can write

0 = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2

or

v_2 = \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}v_1 = \dfrac{m}{3m}v_1 = \dfrac{1}{3}v_1

The final kinetic energies for the two masses are

KE_1 = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2

KE_2 = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2 = \frac{1}{2}(3m)(\frac{1}{3}v_1)^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(\frac{1}{3}v_1^2)

Therefore, the ratio of their kinetic energies is

\dfrac{\Delta KE_2}{\Delta KE_1}  = \dfrac{\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{3}v_1^2)}{\frac{1}{2}v_1^2} = \dfrac{1}{3}

Answer:

The current through the wire is equal to 0.8 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a copper wire = 2 m

Potential difference = 24 mV

The current through the wire is 0.40 A.

The new potential difference is 48 mV.

We need to find the current through the wire.

As the potential difference is doubled for second wire. So the new current will be :

I' = 2I

= 2 × 0.4

= 0.80 A

So, the current through the wire is equal to 0.8 A.

After fertilization in the fallopian tube, how many days will the zygote travel before arriving at uterus?.
natta225 [31]

After fertilization in the fallopian tube, It will take 6-12 days for the zygote to travel before arriving at the uterus.

<h3>What is a zygote?</h3>

A zygote is, generally speaking, a cell created by the fusion of two gametes; the growing person is created from such a cell.

It takes the zygote around 6–12 days following fertilization in the fallopian tube for the fertilized egg to travel to the uterus and attach to the uterus, a process known as implantation.

Hence It will take 6-12 days for the zygote to travel before arriving at the uterus.
