3. A 6 kg block moving to the right at 4 m/s collides with and sticks to a stationary block of unknown mass. If the two blocks m

ove off to the right at 3 m/s, what was the mass of the stationary block?

Answer: 2kg

Explanation:

This problem is a textbook conservation of momentum problem. The intial momentum is equal to the final momentum. For the initial state of each block, only the first one was moving. Then they both combine to move together.

Pi = Pf

with p = mv

(6kg)*(4m/s) = (6kg+xkg)(3m/s)

Let x equal the unknown mass of block 2

24 = 18 + 3x

6 = 3x

x = 2kg

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

2000metres

Explanation:

Pressure= density x height x gravity

Gravity is always a constant = 10N/kg

so height= Pressure/( density x gravity)

h= 20000000/(1000 x10)

h= 2000 metres

Mirror neurons may assist in making observational learning possible.
Anna35 [415]
I will assume this is a true or false question. The answer is true.  Mirror Neurons is the part of frontal lobe neurons that fire when playing out specific activities or while watching others doing as such. The mind's reflecting of another's activity may empower impersonation, dialect learning, and sympathy

Consider a thin rod of mass 3.2 kg, length 1.2 m and uniform density. The rod is pivoted at one end on a frictionless horizontal
notsponge [240]

Answer:

the angular acceleration is 9.7 rad/s^{2}

Explanation:

given information:

mass of thin rod, m = 3.2 kg

the length of the rod, L = 1.2

angle, θ = 38

to find the acceleration of the rod, we can use the torque's formula as below,

τ = Iα

where

τ = torque

I = inertia

σ = acceleration

moment inertia of this rod, I

I = \frac{1}{3} mL^{2}

τ = F d, d = \frac{L}{2}cosθ

τ = m g \frac{L}{2}cosθ

now we can substitute the both equation,

τ = Iα

α = τ/I

  = (m g \frac{L}{2}cosθ)/(\frac{1}{3} mL^{2})

  = 3gcosθ/2L

  = 3 (9.8)cos 38°/(2 x 1.2)

  = 9.7 rad/s^{2}

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

44.755 m

Explanation:

Given:

Height of the movie star, H = 1.75 m = 1750 mm

Height of the image, h = - 8.25 mm

Focal length of the camera = 210 mm

Let the distance of the object i.e the distance between camera and the movie star be 'u'

and

distance between the camera focus and image be 'v'

thus,

magnification, m = \frac{\textup{h}}{\textup{H}}

also,

m = \frac{\textup{-v}}{\textup{u}}

thus,

\frac{\textup{-v}}{\textup{u}}=\frac{\textup{h}}{\textup{H}}

or

\frac{\textup{-v}}{\textup{u}}=\frac{\textup{-8.25}}{\textup{1750}}

or

\frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{v}}=-\frac{\textup{1750}}{\textup{-8.25}}\times\frac{1}{\textup{u}}  ....................(1)

now, from the lens formula

\frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{f}}=\frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{u}}+\frac{1}{\textup{v}}

on substituting value from (1)

\frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{210}}=\frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{u}}+-\frac{\textup{1750}}{\textup{-8.25}}\times\frac{1}{\textup{u}}

or

\frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{210}}=\frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{u}}(1 -\frac{\textup{1750}}{\textup{-8.25}})

or

u = 210 × ( 1 + 212.12 )

or

u = 44755.45 mm

or

u = 44.755 m
