mario62 [17]

Answer:

$V=\dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s$

Explanation:

Two identical bodies are sliding toward each other on a frictionless surface.

Initial speed of body 1, m₁ = 1 m/s

Initial speed of body 2, m₂ = 2 m/s

They collide and stick.

We need to find the speed of the combined mass. Let V is the speed of the combined mass.

Using the conservation of momentum.

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=V(m_1+m_2)$

We have, m₁ = m₂ = m

$m\times 1+m\times 2=(m+m)V\\\\m+2m=2m\times V\\\\3m=2mV\\\\V=\dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s$

So, the speed of the combined mass is $\dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s$ .

Magnesium is a shiny, flexible metal that can be burned in the presence of air.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

A new substance was formed

Explanation:

According to this question, a shiny and flexible metal called Magnesium (Mg) is burnt in air to produce a white powder that has no shiny or flexible properties, however, has more weight than the magnesium metal itself.

This is possible because a CHEMICAL CHANGE has occured, hence, a new substance has been formed. The formation of a new substance during the burning process (chemical reaction), induced the increase in mass.

A group of students performed a compression experiment where they placed weights on top of a cylinder of material and measured t

kolbaska11 [484]

The material that the cylinder is made from is Butyl Rubber.

<h3>What is Young's modulus?</h3>

Young's modulus, or the modulus of elasticity in tension or compression, is a mechanical property that measures the tensile or compressive strength of a solid material when a force is applied to it.

<h3>Area of the cylinder</h3>

A = πr²

$A = \pi \times (0.02)^2 = 0.00126 \ m^2$

<h3>Young's modulus of the cylinder</h3>

$E = \frac{stress}{strain} \\\\E = \frac{F/A}{e/l} \\\\E = \frac{Fl}{Ae} \\\\$

Where;

e is extension

When 5 kg mass is applied, the extension = 10 cm - 9.61 cm = 0.39 cm = 0.0039 m.

$E = \frac{(5\times 9.8) \times 0.1}{0.00126 \times 0.0039} \\\\E = 9.97 \times 10^5 \ N/m^2\\\\E = 0.000997 \times 10^9 \ N/m^2\\\\E = 0.000997 \ GPa\\\\E \approx 0.001 \ GPa$

When the mass is 50 kg,

extension = 10 cm - 7.73 cm = 2.27 cm = 0.0227 m

$E = \frac{(50\times 9.8) \times 0.1}{0.00126 \times 0.0227} \\\\E = 1.7 \times 10^6 \ N/m^2\\\\E = 0.0017 \times 10^9 \ N/m^2\\\\E = 0.0017 \ GPa\\\\E \approx 0.002 \ GPa$

The Young's modulus is between 0.001 GPa to 0.002 GPa

Thus, the material that the cylinder is made from is Butyl Rubber.
