Block A can slide relative to block B which, in turn, can slide on a perfectly smooth horizontal plane. If the initial velocity

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

the final velocity of the two blocks is $v = \frac{mv_o}{m+M}$

the distance that A slides relative to B is $S = \frac{v_o^2M}{2 \mu g (M+m)}$

Explanation:

From the diagram below;

acceleration of A relative to B is : $a = - ( \mu g + \frac{ \mu mg}{M})$

where

v = u + at

$0 = v_o + ( - \mu g - \frac{\mu m g }{M})t$

Making t the subject of the formula; we have:

$t = \frac{v_o M}{(\mu g )(M+m)}$

$v^2 = u^2 +2 as\\\\0^2 = v_o^2 - 2 (\mu g ) (\frac{M+m}{M})S\\\\$

$S = \frac{v_o^2M}{2 \mu g (M+m)}$ which implies the distance that A slides relative to B.

The final velocities of the two blocks can be determined as follows:

v = u + at

$v = v_o - \mu g \frac{v_oM}{\mu g (M+m)}\\\\v = \frac{\mu g mv_o}{m+M}\\\\$

$v = \frac{mv_o}{m+M}$

Thus, the final velocity of the two blocks is $v = \frac{mv_o}{m+M}$

Why do the lighter isotopes disappear first from the atmosphere? Where do those isotopes go?

denpristay [2]

Lighter molecules move fast and escape from the upper atmosphere relatively quickly.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the lighter isotopes.

<h3>What are lighter isotopes?</h3>

Lighter molecules are mobile and soon leave the higher atmosphere.
A particular element's stable isotopes have slightly different atomic masses and quantum mechanical energies.
The lighter isotope of an element's chemical bonds are more easily broken than the heavier isotope's.
As a result, the light isotope typically benefits from chemical reactions.

Thus, we can conclude that, lighter molecules move fast and escape from the upper atmosphere relatively quickly.

If the weight of a submerged object is equal to the buoyant force, what net force acts upon the object?

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The weight is acting downwards where as the buoyant force acting upwards (opposite) direction with equal amount of force. so the opposite forces cancel out each other (because of the force amount being equal) and no net force is acting on the object.

Hope i have helped you

Thanks.

Two competing models attempt to explain the motions and changing brightness of the planets: Ptolemy's geocentric model and Coper

AlekseyPX

Answer:

A. Geocentric: This model is Earth Centered . Retrograde motion is explained by epicycles .

B. Heliocentric: This model is Sun centered. Retrograde motion is explained by the orbital speeds of planets

C. Both geocentric and heliocentric: Epicycles and deferents help explain planetary motion . Planets move in circular orbits and with uniform motion . The brightness of a planet increases when the planet is closest to Earth.

Explanation:

The principle of the Ptolemy's geocentric model was developed on the assumption that the center of the universe is the Earth. On the other hand, the principle of the Copernicus' heliocentric model was based on the assumption that the center of the universe is the sun. However, both models have a common ideology on uniform circular motion and epicycles.
