Two blocks of masses 3.0 kg and 5.0 kg are connected by a spring and rest on a frictionless surface. They are given velocities t

miskamm [114]

Answer:

-0.7 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of first block = m1 =3.0 kg

Mass of second block = m2= 5.0 kg

Velocity of first block = V1= 1.2 m/s

Velocity of second block = V2 = ?

Momentum of Center of mass MVcom is sum of both blocks momentum and is given by

MVcom= m1v1+m2v2

Where

M= mass of center of mass

Vcom= Velocity of center of mass=0 m/s (because center of mass is at rest , so Vcom = 0 m.sec)

Putting values, we get;

0= 3×1.2+5v2

==> v2= 3.6/5= - 0.7 m/s

-ve sign indicates that block 2 is moving in opposite direction of block 1

To calibrate the calorimeter electrically, a constant voltage of 3.6 V is applied and a current of 2.6 A flows for a period of 3

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

$372.3 J/^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the total energy supplied to the calorimeter.

We know that:

V = 3.6 V is the voltage applied

I = 2.6 A is the current

So, the power delivered is

$P=VI=(3.6)(2.6)=9.36 W$

Then, this power is delivered for a time of

t = 350 s

Therefore, the energy supplied is

$E=Pt=(9.36)(350)=3276 J$

Finally, the change in temperature of an object is related to the energy supplied by

$E=C\Delta T$

where in this problem:

E = 3276 J is the energy supplied

C is the heat capacity of the object

$\Delta T =29.1^{\circ}-20.3^{\circ}=8.8^{\circ}C$ is the change in temperature

Solving for C, we find:

$C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}=\frac{3276}{8.8}=372.3 J/^{\circ}C$

The force of attraction between a -165.0 uC and +115.0 C charge is 6.00 N. What is the separation between these two charges in m

Simora [160]

Answer:

The distance between the charges is 5,335.026 m

Explanation:

To obtain the forces between the particles, we can use Coulomb's Law in scalar form, this is, the force between the particles will be:

$F = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}$

where k is Coulomb's constant, $q_1$ and $q_2$ are the charges and d is the distance between the charges.

Working a little the equation, we can take:

$d^2 = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{F}$

$d = \sqrt{ k \frac{q_1 q_2}{F}}$

And this equation will give us the distance between the charges. Taking the values of the problem

$k= 9.00 \ 10^9 \frac{N \ m^2}{C^2} \\q_1 = 165.0 \mu C \\q_2 = 115.0 C\\F=- 6.00$

(the force has a minus sign, as its attractive)

$d = \sqrt{ 9.00 \ 10^9 \frac{N \ m^2}{C^2} \frac{(165.0 \mu C) (115.0 C)}{- 6.00 \ N}}$

$d = \sqrt{ 28,462,500 \ m^2}}$

$d = 5,335.026 m$

And this is the distance between the charges.
