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

Describes the relationship between the spectrum of one atom and the spectrum of another?
krok68 [10]

The relationship between the number of visible spectral lines are identical for atoms .However they have unique wavelengths.

Option B

<u> Explanation:</u>

A spectrum is a range of frequencies or a range of wavelengths. The photon energy of the emitted photon is equal to the difference between two states. For every atom there are quite many electron transitions and each has a energy difference.

This difference in wavelength causes spectrum .As each element emission spectrum is unique because each atom has different energy and causes uniqueness in the emission spectrum . Hence, due to the difference in energy it emits different wavelengths.

A truck on a straight road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00m/s^2 until it reaches a speed of 20.0m/s. Then the truck trave
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Time to reach the speed of 20 m/s with an acceleration of 2 m/s² can be calculated as follows .

v = u + a t

20 = 0 + 2 t

t = 20 /2 = 10 s .

Total time = 10 s + 20 s + 5 s = 35 s .

b) Average velocity = Total distance travelled / total time

Distance travelled in first 10 s

S₁ = ut + 1/2 a t²

= 0 + .5 x 2 x 10²

= 100 m

Distance travelled in next 20 s

S₂= 20s x 20 m/s  = 400 m

Distance travelled in last 5 s .

deceleration in last 5 s

v = u + at

0 = 20 m/s + a x 5

a = - 4 m/s²

v² = u² - 2 a s

0 = (20 m/s)² - 2 x 4 m/s² x s

s = 50 m

S₃ = 50 m

Total distance = S₁ + S₂ + S₃

= 100 m + 400 m + 50 m

= 550 m .

Average velocity = 550 m / 35 s

= 15.71 m /s .

Steel is made of atoms of iron and carbon. Would iron and carbon form metallic bonds? Explain your answer choice.
tino4ka555 [31]

Sample Response: "No, steel and carbon would not form metallic bonds because metallic bonds only form between metals. Iron is a metal, but carbon is not."
