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.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Distance, d = 0.1 m

It is given that,

Initial velocity of meson,

Finally, the meson is coming to rest v = 0

Acceleration of the meson,  (opposite to initial velocity)

Using third equation of motion as :

s is the distance the meson travelled before coming to rest.

So,

 

s = 0.1 m

The meson will cover the distance of 0.1 m before coming to rest. Hence, this is the required solution.

1.- Un barco recorre la distancia que separa Gran Canaria de Tenerife (90 km) en 6 horas. ¿Cuál es
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The speed is 15 km/h or 4.16 m/s.

Explanation:

A boat travels the distance that separates Gran Canaria from Tenerife (90 km) in 6 hours. Which  the speed of the boat in km / h? And in m / s?

Given that,

Distance, d = 90 km = 90000 m

Time, t = 6 hours = 21600 s

Speed = distance/time

v=\dfrac{90\ km}{6\ h}\\\\=15\ km/h

or

v=\dfrac{90000\ m}{21600\ s}\\\\=4.16\ m/s

So, the required speed is 15 km/h or 4.16 m/s.

State the relative position for the sun and earth during the lunar eclipse (ASAP)
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Solar eclipses result from the Moon blocking the Sun relative to the Earth; thus Earth, Moon and Sun all lie on a line. Lunar eclipses work the same way in a different order: Moon, Earth and Sun all on a line. In this case the Earth's shadow hides the Moon from view.

A 40 lb box is suspended from two ropes which each make an angle of 45 degrees with the vertical. What is the tension (in pounds
givi [52]

Answer:

The tension on each rope is 28.28 lb

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 40 lb

Angle = 45°

We need to calculate the tension on each rope

Considering the symmetry of the system, the tension of each rope must be same

So,

T\sin\theta+T\sin\theta=mg

Put the value into the formula

2T\sin\theta=mg

T\times\sin45=\dfrac{40}{2}

T=\dfrac{40\sqrt{2}}{2}

T=28.28\ lb

Hence, The tension on each rope is 28.28 lb.
