Answer:

-1m/s

Explanation:

We can calculate the speed of block A after collision

According to collision theory:

MaVa+MbVb = MaVa+MbVb (after collision)

Substitute the given values

5(3)+10(0) = 5Va+10(2)

15+0 = 5Va + 20

5Va = 15-20

5Va = -5

Va = -5/5

Va = -1m/s

Hence the velocity of ball A after collision is -1m/s

Note that the velocity of block B is zero before collision since it is stationary

Answer:

1. increases

2. increases

3. increases

Explanation:

Part 1:

First of all, since the box remains at rest, the horizontal net force acting on the box must equal zero:

F1 - fs = 0.

And this friction force fs is:

fs = Nμs,

where μs is the static coefficient of friction, and N is the normal force.

Originally, the normal force N is equal to mg, where m is the mass of the box, and g is the constant of gravity. Now, there is an additional force F2 acting downward on the box, which means it increases the normal force, since the normal force by Newton's third law, is the force due to the surface acting on the box upward:

N = mg + F2.

So, F2 is increasing, that means fs is increasing too.

Part 2:

As explained in the part 1, N = mg + F2. F2 is increasing, so the normal force is thus increasing.

Part 3:

In part 1 and part 2, we know that fs = Nμs, and since the normal force N is increasing, the maximum possible static friction force fs, max is also increasing.

A ball is suspended by a lightweight string, as shown in the figure above.
Irina18 [472]

<u>Answer </u>

A. 1 and 2

<u>Explanation </u>

At point 1 we have the highest potential energy and the kinetic energy is zero.

At 2 the potential energy is minimum and the kinetic energy is maximum.

The law of conservation of energy says that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. So, the change in P.E = Change in K.E.

P.E = height × gravity × mass. The height referred here is the perpendicular height. Gravity and mass are constant in this case.

From the diagram it can be seen clearly that the vertical height from 2 to 1 is much greater than from 4 to 3.

This shows that the change in P.E is greater between 1 and 2 and so is kinetic energy.

1. Predict whether the energy required to remove an electron from magnesium and potassium would be more or less than that requir
Inga [223]

In both cases less energy is required

But comparetively Mg require more energy than K

Let's see the electron configuration of Both

  • [Mg]=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²=[Ne]3s²
  • [K]=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹=[Ar]4s¹

K has only one valence electron so very less ionization enthalpy so less energy required

Mg has 2 so more IE hence more energy required

A 5 kg ball is sitting on top of a hill. It has a Potential Energy of 6000J. What is the height of the ball?​
natali 33 [55]

Explanation:

mass=5 kg

potential energy=6000j

height=?

Now

potential energy =m.g.h

or 6000=5*9.8*h

or 6000=49h

or 6000÷49=h

or h= 122.45m
