Block X and block Y travel toward each other along a horizontal surface with block X traveling in the positive direction. Block

X has a mass of 4kg and a speed of 2ms. Block Y has a mass of 1kg and a speed of 1 ms. A completely inelastic collision occurs in which momentum is conserved. What is the approximate speed of block X after the collision

Answer:

  v = 1.4 m / s

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the law of conservation of momentum, for this we define a system formed by the two blocks in such a way that the force during the collision have been internal

initial instant. Just before the crash

           p₀ = M v₁ - m v₂

final instant. Right after the crash

          p_f = (M + m) v

the moment is preserved

          p₀ = p_f

          M v₁ - m v₂ = (M + m) v

           v = \frac{1}{M+m}  (M v₁ - mv₂)

let's calculate

           v = \frac{1}{4+1}  (4 2 - 1 1)

           v = 1.4 m / s

in the same direction as the largest block (M)

A ball that is attached to a string travels in a horizontal, circular path, as shown in Figure 1. At time t0 , the ball has a sp
Levart [38]

Answer:

F₁ = 4 F₀

Explanation:

The force applied on the string by the ball attached to it, while in circular motion will be equal to the centripetal force. Therefore, at time t₀, the force on ball F₀ is given as:

F₀ = mv₀²/r   --------------- equation (1)

where,

F₀ = Force on string at t₀

m = mass of ball

v₀ = speed of ball at t₀

r = radius of circular path

Now, at time t₁:

v₁ = 2v₀

F₁ = mv₁²/r

F₁ = m(2v₀)²/r

F₁ = 4 mv₀²/r

using equation (1):

<u>F₁ = 4 F₀</u>

Two particles are traveling through space. At time t the first particle is at the point (−1 + t, 4 − t, −1 + 2t) and the second
Pie

Answer:

Yes, the paths of the two particles cross.

Location of path intersection = ( 1 , 2 , 3)

Explanation:

In order to find the point of intersection, we need to set both locations equal to one another. It should be noted however, that the time for each particle can vary as we are finding the point where the <u>paths</u> meet, not the point where the particles meet themselves.

So, we can name the time of the first particle T_F ,  and the time of the second particle T_S.

Setting the locations equal, we get the following equations to solve for T_F and T_S:

(-1 + T_F) = (-7 + 2T_S)                     Equation 1

(4 - T_F) = (-6 + 2T_S)                        Equation 2

(-1 + 2T_F) = (-1 + T_S)                     Equation 3

Solving these three equations simultaneously we get:

T_F = 2 seconds

T_S = 4 seconds

Since, we have an answer for when the trajectories cross, we know for a fact that they indeed do cross.

The point of crossing can be found by using the value of T_F or T_S in the location matrices. Doing this for the first particle we get:

Location of path intersection = ( -1 + 2 , 4 - 2 , -1 + 2(2) )

Location of path intersection = ( 1 , 2 , 3)

When is the net force on the car closest to 0?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:    The net force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object. When an object is in equilibrium (either at rest or moving with constant velocity), the net force acting on it zero. A vector can only have zero magnitude if all of its components are zero.  there is more than one force acting on an object, then F is the net force. If two people pull on an object with equal forces in opposite directions, then the net force is zero and the acceleration is zero

In an experiment to measure the wavelength of light using a double slit, it is found that the fringes are too close together to
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

halve the slit separation

Explanation:

As we know that

In YDS experiment, the equation of fringe width is as follows

\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}

where,

D denotes the separation in the middle of screen and slits

d denotes the distance in the middle of two slits

And to increase the Δx we have to decrease the d i.e, the distance between the two slits

Hence, the first option is correct
