A block of mass m = 4.4 kg slides from left to right across a frictionless surface with a speed 9.2 m/s It collides in a perfect

ly elastic collision with a second block of mass M that is at rest. After the collision, the 4.4-kg block reverses direction, and its new speed is 2.5 m/s The block of mass M travels to the right at a speed V of 6.7 m/s what is M

Answer:

m_2=6.3\:\mathrm{kg}

Explanation:

In a perfectly elastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the system is maintained. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

\frac{1}{2}m_1{v_1}^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2{v_2}^2=\frac{1}{2}m_1{v_{1'}}^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2{v_{2'}}^2

Since the second block was initially at rest, \frac{1}{2}m_2{v_2}^2=0.

Plugging in all given values, we have:

\frac{1}{2}m_1{v_1}^2=\frac{1}{2}m_1{v_{1'}}^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2{v_{2'}}^2,\\\\\frac{1}{2}\cdot4.4\cdot9.2^2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 4.4 \cdot (-2.5)^2+\frac{1}{2}\cdot m_2\cdot 6.7^2,\\m_2=\fbox{$6.3\:\mathrm{kg}$}.

g You shine orange laser light that has a wavelength of 600 nm through a narrow slit. The slit forms a diffraction pattern on a
zimovet [89]

Answer:

 λ = 3 10⁻⁷ m,   UV laser

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon is described by the expression

         a sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry

         tan θ = y / L

as in this phenomenon the angles are small

        tan θ = \frac{sin \ \theta}{cos \ \theta} = sin θ

        sin θ = y / L

we substitute

      a y / L = m  λ

let's apply this equation to the initial data

       a  0.04 / L = 1 600 10⁻⁹

       a / L = 1.5 10⁻⁵

now they tell us that we change the laser and we have y = 0.04 m for m = 2

      a 0.04 / L = 2  λ

       a / L = 50  λ

we solve the two expression is

         1.5 10⁻⁵ = 50  λ

          λ = 1.5 10⁻⁵ / 50

          λ = 3 10⁻⁷ m

How do sea surface temperatures affect evaporation rate?
kotegsom [21]
<span>Answer: The temperature doesn't affect the evaporation rate, but affects on how much of water a parcel of air can contain when saturated which is known by the absolute humidity. Hurricanes are usually happening when the temperature of the sea water west of the Cape Verde islands is over 27 degrees Celsius. If ahead of the path of a hurricane, the sea water temperature drops then it will be less moisture in the air and perhaps the hurricane will fade out. But it is not as simple. How strong a tropical storm is is relative to the difference of temperture between ground level and the top of the troposphere. The greater the difference, the faster the air will rise and the deeper the pressure will be, forcing surrounding air to rush in, thus forming a hurricane force wind. Then there is the fact that the wet adiabatic lapse rate is about half that of dry air. It means that rising moist air cools down slower and therefore rises higher. Hence water is the true fuel of bad weather. But it can't be isolated from the fact that the difference of temperature must be great too. What we often forget is that the tropopause (the border to the stratosphere) is much higher over the equator and therefore, much colder than e.g. the poles.</span>

In a rigid container, as the temperature of a gas decreases, the pressure of the gas will decrease. t f
Sergio039 [100]
The answer is true: the pressure of a gas will decrease as temperature decreases in a rigid container.

This is one of the central gas laws called the Gay-Lussac law that states for a given gas at a constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature. We also know that as temperature reduces, so too does molecular interaction. Increased temperature results in increased pressure, and decreased temperature therefore results in decreased pressure.

An object whose weight is 10kg is placed on smooth plane inclined at 30° to the horizontal. find the acceleration of the object
velikii [3]

Answer:

4.9 m/s²

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are two forces on the object:

Weight force mg pulling straight down,

and normal force N pushing perpendicular to the plane.

Sum the forces in the parallel direction.

∑F = ma

mg sin θ = ma

a = g sin θ

a = (9.8 m/s²) (sin 30°)

a = 4.9 m/s²

If 3600 j of work is done in 3.0 s what is the power<br>0.00083W<br>1200W<br>3600W<br>11000W
Viktor [21]

Answer:

1200 W

Explanation:

Power is given by the ratio between work done and time taken:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where W is the work done and t the time taken.

In this problem, W = 3600 J and t = 3.0 s. Therefore, the power in this exercise is

P=\frac{3600 J}{3.0 s}=1200 W
