A 2.5 kg block slides along a frictionless surface at 1.5 m/s.A second block, sliding at a faster 4.1 m/s , collides with the fi

rst from behind and sticks to it. The final velocity of the combined blocks is 2.5 m/s. What was the mass of the second block?

Answer:

1.5kg

Explanation:

Given data

mass m1= 2.5kg

mass m2=??

velocity of mass one v1= 1.5m/s

velocity of mass two v2= 4.1m/s

common velocity after impact v= 2.5m/s

Let us apply the formula for the conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision

The expression is given as

m1v1+ m2v2= v(m1+m2)

substitute

2.5*1.5+ m2*4.1= 2.5(2.5+m2)

3.75+4.1m2= 6.25+2.5m2

collect like terms

3.75-6.25= 2.5m2-4.1m2

-2.5= -1.6m2

divide both sides by -1.6

m2= -2.5/-1.6

m2= 1.5 kg

Hence the second mass is 1.5kg

An Abrams tank has a mass of 62,Ō00 kg. If its top speed is 20.0 m/s, what is its momentum at top speed?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

1240000 kg * m/s

Explanation:

p = momentum

p = mass * velocity in kg* m/s

62,000 kg * 20 m/s = 1240000 kg * m/s

The distance between the lenses in a compound microscope is 18 cm. The focal length of the objective is 1.5 cm. If the microscop
Blababa [14]

Answer:

The focal length of eye piece is 6.52 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular Magnification of the microscope M = -46

the distance between the lens in microscope L= 16 cm

The focal length of objective f₀ = 1.5 cm

Normal near point N = 25 cm

Have to find focal length of eye piece f ₙ =?

The angular magnification is given by

M ≈ - (L-fₙ)N/f₀fₙ

Rearranging for fₙ

fₙ =L(1 - Mf₀/N)⁺¹

   =18/2.76

fₙ =  6.52 cm

The focal length of eye piece is 6.52 cm.

The vertical displacement of the wave is measured from the ?
sergey [27]
The whole question is talking about the amplitude of a wave
that's transverse and wiggling vertically.

Equilibrium to the crest . . . that's the amplitude.

Crest to trough . . . that's double the amplitude.

Trough to trough . . . How did that get in here ?  Yes, that's
                               the wavelength, but it has nothing to do
                               with vertical displacement.

Frequency . . . that's how many complete waves pass a mark
                       on the ground every second.  Doesn't belong here.

Notice that this has to be a transverse wave.  If it's a longitudinal wave,
like sound or a slinky, then it may not have any displacement at all
across the direction it's moving.

It also has to be a vertically 'polarized' wave.  If it's wiggling across
the direction it's traveling BUT it's wiggling side-to-side, then it has
no vertical displacement.  It still has an amplitude, but the amplitude
is all horizontal.

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. Complete the following statemen
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4

Explanation:

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. The centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{R}

We need to find how the "centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4"

It can be done by keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4 such that,

R' = R/4

New centripetal acceleration will be,

a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R'}

a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R/4}

a'=4\times \dfrac{v^2}{R}

a'=4\times a

So, the centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4.
