Answer:

correct answer is (c) 15 J

Explanation:

given data

mass m1 = 2 kg

velocity V1 = 5 m/s

mass other  = 3 kg

so mass m2 = 2+ 3 kg = 5 kg

solution

we will apply here conservation of momentum:

m1V1 = m2V2  ..........................1

put here value and we get  velocity v2

(2.0) × (5.0) = (2.0 + 3.0) × V

solve it we get

10 = 5 × V 2

V2 = 2.0 m/s

so here kinetic energy will be

KE = ½ × m × v²

so

∆KE = ½ × m1 × (v1)²  -  ½  × m2 × (v2) ²

∆KE = 0.5 × 2 × 25 - 0.5 × 5 × 4

 ∆KE = 25 - 10

∆KE  = 15 J

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

a) 0.25m

b) 5 m/s

Explanation:

When the spring is compressed both boxes are moving with the same velocity, so applying the principle of linear momentum conservation:

m1*v_{o1}+m2*v_{o2}=(m1+m2)*v\\v=5m/s

Now applying the principle of energy conservation:

K1+K2+U_{g1}-U_e=Kf+U_{g2}\\K1+0-U_e=K2+0\\U_e=K1+K2-kf\\\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2+=\frac{1}{2}*m1*v1^2+\frac{1}{2}*m1*v1^2-\frac{1}{2}*(m1+m2)*v^2\\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{2.00kg*(10m/s)^2+5.00kg*(3.00m/s)^2-7.00kg*(5m/s)^2}{1120N/m}}\\x=0.25m

We got that the maximum compression is 0.25m.

Does peer pressure affect your physical activity routine? Describe this peer pressure and tell whether it is positive or negativ
Alexxx [7]
Yes, peer pressure affects one's physical activity routine. It can do so both negatively and positively. For instance, if one is pressured to do drugs when around their peers, it would most likely lead to an addiction that lasts even when they are not with those people anymore. However, from a positive viewpoint, one's peers could also pressure them to do something productive, such as trying a new beneficial activity that they are afraid of (ex. trying out for a talent show.) This could lead to a disruption in routine as that individual would begin practicing for said talent show. Hence, peer pressure can be both negative and positive, but in both instances, it changes the routine of the individual effected.
