Answer: (d)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the first ram $m_1=49\ kg$

The velocity of this ram is $v_1=-7\ m/s$

Mass of the second ram $m_2=52\ kg$

The velocity of this ram $v_2=9\ m/s$

They combined after the collision

Conserving the momentum

$\Rightarrow m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow 49\times (-7)+52\times (9)=(52+49)v\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{125}{101}\ m/s \quad[\text{east}]$

Momentum after the collision will be

$\Rightarrow 101\times \dfrac{125}{101}=125\ kg-m/s\ \text{East}$

Therefore, option (d) is correct

A mass m is attached to a string connected to a force sensor on a rotating platform. The platform’s angular velocity, ω, can be

makkiz [27]

Answer:

The mass m is 0.332 kg or 332 gm

Explanation:

Given

The platform is rotating with angular speed , $\omega =8.5\, \frac{rad}{sec}$

Mass m is moving on platform in a circle with radius , $r=0.20\, m$

Force sensor reading to which spring is attached , $F=4.8\, N$

Now for the mass m to move in circle the required centripetal force is given by $F=m\omega ^{2}r$

=> $4.8=m\times 8.5 ^{2}\times 0.20$

$=>m=0.332\, kg$

Thus the mass m is 0.332 kg or 332 gm

A 235.0 g metal block absorbs 2.44 × 103 J of heat to raise its temperature by 35 K. What is the specific heat of the metal? Sho

andrew-mc [135]

When an object absorbs an amount of energy equal to Q, its temperature raises by $\Delta T$ following the formula
$Q=m C_s \Delta T$
where m is the mass of the object and $C_s$ is the specific heat capacity of the material.

In our problem, we have $Q=2.44 \cdot 10^3 J$ , $m=235.0 g$ and $\Delta T=35 K$ , so we can re-arrange the formula and substitute the numbers to find the specific heat capacity of the metal:
$C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}= \frac{2.44 \cdot 10^3 J}{(235.0 g)(35 K)}=0.297 J g^{-1} K^{-1}$
