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

Stels [109]

Answer:

Yes the student is correct

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy (disorderliness) of an isolated system always increases

Therefore, whereby energy is not supplied to maintain the orderly oscillatory motion with constant amplitude, the amplitude of the system is bound to reduce with time that is the vibration of the system must be damped
