Block B (of mass m) is initially at rest. Block A (of mass 3m) travels toward B with an initial speed v0 (vee nought) and collid

es in an inelastic collision. Given that all surfaces have negligible friction, determine the maximum height h reached by the
two blocks.

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the two blocks is approximately 0.1147959 × v₀²

Explanation:

The mass of block B = m

The mass of block A = 3·m

The initial velocity of block B, v₂ = 0 m/s

The initial velocity of block A, v₁ = v₀

The amount of friction between the blocks and the surface = Negligible friction

By the Law of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

Total initial momentum = Total final momentum

3·m·v₁ + m·v₂ = (3·m + m)·v₃ = 4·m·v₃

Plugging in the values for the velocities gives;

3·m × v₀ + m × 0 = (3·m + m)·v₃ = 4·m·v₃

∴ 3·m × v₀ =  4·m·v₃

\therefore v_3 = \dfrac{3}{4} \times v_0 = 0.75 \times v_0

The kinetic energy, K.E. of the combined blocks after the collision is given as follows;

K.E. = 1/2 × mass × v²

\therefore K.E. = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 4\cdot m \times \left (\dfrac{3}{4} \cdot v_0 \right )^2 = \dfrac{9}{8} \cdot m\cdot v_0^2

The potential energy, P.E., gained by the two blocks at maximum height = The kinetic energy, K.E., of the two blocks before moving vertically upwards

The potential energy, P.E. = m·g·h

Where;

m = The mass of the object at the given height

g = The acceleration due to gravity

h = The height at which the object of mass, 'm', is located

Therefore, for h = The maximum height reached by the two blocks, we have;

P.E. = K.E.

m \cdot g \cdot h =  \dfrac{9}{8} \cdot m\cdot v_0^2

h = \dfrac{\dfrac{9}{8} \cdot m\cdot v_0^2}{m \cdot g }  = \dfrac{9}{8} \cdot \dfrac{ v_0^2}{ g }  =  \dfrac{9}{8} \cdot \dfrac{ v_0^2}{ 9.8} = \dfrac{42}{392} \cdot  v_0^2 \approx 0.1147959   \cdot  v_0^2

The maximum height reached by the two blocks, h ≈ 0.1147959·v₀².

Is it inhumane to keep a cat in one room?
Deffense [45]
So there are a couple of variables to that question. if the room has everything a cat needs then no. if it had food, water, a bed, stuff to keep it occupied, a litter box, sunlight, and some other form of life to keep it company then no it wouldn't be.
But if you locked it in a dark room without any of that stuff yes the cat would die

How do hydrogen bonds affect boiling points?
Yuri [45]

Boiling points are raised by hydrogen bonds because they make different molecules desire to "attach" to one another, which requires more energy to do so. In water, for instance, the hydrogen proton is in a state that resembles ionization because the connections between oxygen and hydrogen, while covalent, are strongly polar. The oxygen also receives a partial negative charge. Therefore, hydrogen bonds are formed when the electro-positive H in one molecule is strongly electrostatically attracted to the electro-negative O in nearby molecules. Despite being weak links, they are powerful enough to significantly alter the liquid's characteristics.  

Thanks!

1.15) What distance will 650 joules of work move a box weighing 50 newtons?​
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The answer is 13 however make sure if they ask for a certain measurement like meter answer it by saying 13 meters.

Explanation:

This basically turns into basic algebra if you know the formula for work. The formula for work is W=F*d  

Here are the variables that you know 650J=50N*d so you need d.

All you do is divide 650J by 50N and you get a total of 13 (meters since I don't know what they want you to put it in).

considere que o calor específico de um material presente nas cinzas seja c=0,8j/gc. Supondo que esse material entre na turbina a
drek231 [11]

Answer:

3120J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

C  = Specific heat capacity  = 0.8J/g°C

Initial temperature  = 20°C

Mass given   = 5g

Final temperature  = 800°C

Unknown:

Energy given to the mass  = ?

Solution:

To find the energy given to the mass, let us simply use the expression below:

          H   =   m   c   ΔT

H is the unknown, the energy supplied

m is the mass of the substance

c is the specific heat capacity

ΔT is the change in temperature

Input the variables;

            H    = 5  x   0.8    x    (800 - 20)  = 3120J
