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

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

The primary of a step-up transformer is connected across the terminals of a standard wall socket, and resistor 1 with a resistan
alexira [117]
The turns ratio is the factor that determines voltage andcurrent. In order to have the same current across the resistorin the primary as the resistor in the secondary, then:--N(p) = Primary turnsN(s) = Secondary turnsR(2) = Primary resistorR(1) = Secondary resistor--R(2)/R(1) = N(p)/N(s)R(2) = R(1)*(N(p)/N(s))--If arbitrary values are plugged in, you will see that this step up transformer will require 2x the resistance required in the secondary, R(1), to obtain the same current. Thus R(2) will be 1/2 the value of R(1). This is due to the stepped up voltage in the secondary.

Sunlight has its maximum intensity at a wavelength of 4.83 x 10'm; wha energy does this correspond to in e?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

E = 2,575 eV

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the Planck equation and the relationship of the speed of light with the frequency and wavelength

     E = h f

     c = λ f

Where the Planck constant has a value of 6.63 10⁻³⁴ J s

Let's replace

    E = h c / λ

Let's calculate for wavelengths

    λ = 4.83 10-7 m     (blue)

    E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸ / 4.83 10⁻⁷

    E = 4.12 10-19 J

The transformation from J to eV is 1 eV = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

    E = 4.12 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

    E = 2,575 eV

What is the purpose of a free body diagram
Amiraneli [1.4K]
<span>A free body diagram is a representation of how the forces that are acting on a point or particle interact. You place your point at the origin and then draw your forces.
