A block of mass m1 = 19.5 kg slides along a horizontal surface (with friction, μk = 0.35) a distance d = 2.6 m before striking a

second block of mass m2 = 8.25 kg. The first block has an initial velocity of v = 6.5 m/s.
(a) Assuming that block one stops after it collides with block two, what is block two's velocity after impact in m/s?
(b) How far does block two travel, d2 in meters, before coming to rest after the collision?

Answer:

19.5 m/s

87.8 m

Explanation:

The acceleration of block one is:

∑F = ma

-m₁gμ = m₁a

a = -gμ

a = -(9.8 m/s²) (0.22)

a = -2.16 m/s²

The velocity of block one just before the collision is:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (8.25 m/s)² + 2 (-2.16 m/s²) (2.3 m)

v = 7.63 m/s

Momentum is conserved, so the velocity of block two just after the collision is:

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

m₁u₁ = m₂v₂

(18.5 kg) (7.63 m/s) = (7.25 kg) v

v = 19.5 m/s

The acceleration of block two is also -2.16 m/s², so the distance is:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(0 m/s)² = (19.5 m/s)² + 2 (-2.16 m/s²) Δx

Δx = 87.8 m

Suppose you want to test the hypothesis that plants grow taller when they receive more sunlight. Identify and independent variab
ollegr [7]
The result that should be established is in the form
y = f(x) 
where x, the amount of sunlight is the controlled (independent) variable,
y =  height (growth) that corresponds to the amount of sunlight. Therefore y depends on x.

Clearly,
x, the amount of sunlight is the independent variable. It can be controlled.
y, the measured amount of growth is the dependent variable.

Answer:
The independent variable is the amount of sunlight.
The dependent variable is the growth.

4. Which of the following would be a good reference point to describe the motion of a dog?
saul85 [17]

ANOTHER RUNNING DOG

Explanation:

In the given question it is to find a suitable reference point to describe  the motion of dog. Here I could suggest that it is better to compare the dog with  another running dog to create the relative speed difference to get a reliable motion variation.

Because the motion of dog is in the linear with respect to the another dog and to the acceleration produced by the dog in the required interval is easy to calculate with respect to  another dog which is already in motion.

Hence, I suggest that Motion of dog can be analysed better by analyse the motion variation of dog with  another dog running.

What evidence would you observe if the law of conservation of mass is obeyed when mixing two solutions?​
Marianna [84]

Answer:

You should have noticed that the number of atoms in the reactants is the same as the number of atoms in the product. The number of atoms is conserved during the reaction. However, you will also see that the number of molecules in the reactants and products are not the same.
