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

You have a pumpkin of mass m and radius r. the pumpkin has the shape of a sphere, but it is not uniform inside so you do not kno
geniusboy [140]
<span>As it is descended from a vertical height h, The lost Potential Energy = Mgh The gained Kenetic Energy = (1/2)Mv^2; The rotational KE = (1/2)Jw^2 The angular speed w = speed/ Radius = v/R So Rotational KE = (1/2)Jw^2 = (1/2)J(v/R)^2; J is moment of inertia Now Mgh = (1/2)Mv^2 + (1/2)J(v/R)^2 => 2gh/v^2 = 1 + (J/MR^2) As v = (5gh/4)^1/2, (J/MR^2) = 2gh/v^2 - 1 => (J/MR^2) = (8gh/5gh) - 1 so (J/MR^2) = 3/5 and therefore J = (3/5)MR^2.</span>

What must occur for neutral chargers to occur
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

 Friction charging is a very common method of charging an object. However, it is not the only process by which objects become charged. In this section of Lesson 2, the charging by induction method will be discussed. Induction charging is a method used to charge an object without actually touching the object to any other charged object. An understanding of charging by induction requires an understanding of the nature of a conductor and an understanding of the polarization process.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. What does these words mean in physics?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The above given statement represent the Newton;'s 3rd law of motion.

This describes that when two objects collides or interacts with each other, there occurs a pair of forces that directly acts on the two colliding objects. The force exerted on both the sides are of equal magnitude.

For example, there are two contrasting body named M and N, which collides with each other. This collision results in the occurrence of force acting on both the objects. The body M exerts a force on body N and similarly, the body N exerts a force on body M, and this two forces are equal in amount.
