Particle A and particle B are held together with a compressed spring between them. When they are released, the spring pushes the

m apart, and they then fly off in opposite directions, free of the spring. The mass of A is 8.00 times the mass of B, and the energy stored in the spring was 73 J. Assume that the spring has negligible mass and that all its stored energy is transferred to the particles. (a) Once that transfer is complete, what is the kinetic energy of particle A

Answer:

 K_a = 8,111 J

Explanation:

This is a collision exercise, let's define the system as formed by the two particles A and B, in this way the forces during the collision are internal and the moment is conserved

initial instant. Just before dropping the particles

          p₀ = 0

final moment

          p_f = m_a v_a + m_b v_b

          p₀ = p_f

          0 = m_a v_a + m_b v_b

tells us that

          m_a = 8 m_b

         

           0 = 8 m_b v_a + m_b v_b

           v_b = - 8 v_a                    (1)

indicate that the transfer is complete, therefore the kinematic energy is conserved

starting point

           Em₀ = K₀ = 73 J

final point. After separating the body

          Em_f = K_f = ½ m_a v_a² + ½ m_b v_b²

           K₀ = K_f

           73 = ½ m_a (v_a² + v_b² / 8)

           

we substitute equation 1

           73 = ½ m_a (v_a² + 8² v_a² / 8)

           73 = ½ m_a (9 v_a²)

           73/9 = ½ m_a (v_a²) = K_a

            K_a = 8,111 J

marysya [2.9K]

The things that determine the amount of an object's gravitational potential energy are ...

-- mass of the object

-- gravitational acceleration in the place where the object is

-- height of the object above the ground or the floor

A). <em>a slice of bread; </em> No.  It's still a slice of bread even if it's on the ground.

B. <em>A compressed spring; </em> No.  It's still a compressed spring even if it's on the ground.

C. <em>An apple on a tree</em>; <em>Yes !</em>  It can't be an apple on a tree if it's on the ground.  

D. <em>A stretched bow string</em>; <em>No.</em>  It's still a stretched bowstring even if it's on the ground.

Find the acceleration for a force of 2 N acting on 2 kg.
igomit [66]

Answer:

The acceleration of a 2 kg box acted on by a net force of 2 N is solved by using Newton’s second law of motion in the form acceleration = F_net / mass. Since the mass of the box is 2 kg and the net force is 2 N, the acceleration of the 2 kg box is 1 m/s^2.

Hee Sun drew an electron dot diagram of a silicon atom as shown. In addition to changing the symbol to C, how would this diagram
dolphi86 [110]
Other than for the chemical symbol, the electron dot diagram for silicon would be the same as it was for carbon.

The reason for this is because electron dot diagrams are used to represent the electrons in the outermost, or valence, shell of an atom. In a group of the periodic table, all of the elements have the same number of valence shell electrons. This means that all elements belonging to the same group have the same electron dot diagram, except for the symbol of the element that is within the diagram.
