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{$6.3\:\mathrm{kg}$}.

Dimensional Analysis : 3 days to seconds
LuckyWell [14K]
Hi,

To convert 3 days to seconds write this.

1h = 3600s
24h = 3600 · 24 = 86400
3 days = 3 · 86400 = 259200sec

Hope this helps.

Radar uses radio waves of a wavelength of 2.4 \({\rm m}\) . The time interval for one radiation pulse is 100 times larger than t
blondinia [14]

Answer:

120 m

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength 'λ' = 2.4m

pulse width 'τ'= 100T ('T' is the time of one oscillation)

The below inequality express the range of distances to an object that radar can detect

τc/2 < x < Tc/2 ---->eq(1)

Where, τc/2 is the shortest distance

First we'll calculate Frequency 'f' in order to determine time of one oscillation 'T'

f = c/λ (c= speed of light i.e 3 x 10^{8} m/s)

f= 3 x 10^{8} / 2.4

f=1.25 x  10^{8} hz.

As, T= 1/f

time of one oscillation T= 1/1.25 x  10^{8}

T= 8 x 10^{-9} s

It was given that pulse width 'τ'= 100T

τ= 100 x 8 x 10^{-9} => 800 x 10^{-9} s

From eq(1), we can conclude that the shortest distance to an object that this radar can detect:

x_{min}= τc/2 =>  (800 x 10^{-9} x 3 x 10^{8})/2

x_{min}=120m

Determine the direction of the force that will act on the charge in each of the following situations. A negative charge moving t
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a) DOWN direction,  b)  directed INTO THE SCREEN, c)    F = 0

Explanation:

The direction of the force is

for electric force

           F = q E

where we assume a positive test charge, for which the force has the direction of the electric field.

For a magnetic field

in this case the direction of the force is given by the right hand rule.

For a positive test charge, the thumb points in the direction of velocity, the other fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field, and the palm gives the direction of force for a positive charge.

           F = q v x B

Let us apply these considerations to our case.

a) negative charge moving to the left

in a magnetic field points away from the screen

In this case the thumb goes to the left, the fingers extended outwards and the palm points upwards, but since the charge is negative the force has a DOWN direction.

b) negative charge moves to the left

in electric field it points off the screen.

The outside is in the direction of the electric field and since the charge is negative, the force is directed INTO THE SCREEN

c) positive charge moves down

in magnetic field points up

in this case the velocity and the field have the same direction so the vector product of them is zero

       F = q v  B sin 0

       F = 0
