A block of mass m1 = 3.5 kg moves with velocity v1 = 6.3 m/s on a frictionless surface. it collides with block of mass m2 = 1.7

kg which is initially stationary. the blocks stick together and encounter a rough surface. the blocks eventually come to a stop after traveling a distance d = 1.85 m . what is the coefficient of kinetic friction on the rough surface? μk =

First, let's find the speed v_i of the two blocks m1 and m2 sticked together after the collision.
We can use the conservation of momentum to solve this part. Initially, block 2 is stationary, so only block 1 has momentum different from zero, and it is:
p_i = m_1 v_1
After the collision, the two blocks stick together and so now they have mass m_1 +m_2 and they are moving with speed v_i:
p_f = (m_1 + m_2)v_i
For conservation of momentum
p_i=p_f
So we can write
m_1 v_1 = (m_1 +m_2)v_i
From which we find
v_i =  \frac{m_1 v_1}{m_1+m_2}= \frac{(3.5 kg)(6.3 m/s)}{3.5 kg+1.7 kg}=4.2 m/s

The two blocks enter the rough path with this velocity, then they are decelerated because of the frictional force \mu (m_1+m_2)g. The work done by the frictional force to stop the two blocks is
\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
where d is the distance covered by the two blocks before stopping.
The initial kinetic energy of the two blocks together, just before entering the rough path, is
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2
When the two blocks stop, all this kinetic energy is lost, because their velocity becomes zero; for the work-energy theorem, the loss in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the frictional force:
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2 =\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
From which we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:
\mu =  \frac{v_i^2}{2gd}= \frac{(4.2 m/s)^2}{2(9.81 m/s^2)(1.85 m)}=0.49

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

40 km/h

Explanation:

First...

Look at the formula speed is equal to the distance over time or s = d/t.

Next...

Use the formula: 240/6.0

Finally...

Solve: 40

So the answer: 40 km/h

Cuanto cambia la entropía de 0.50 kg de vapor de mercurio [Lv: 2.7 x 10⁵ j/kg ] al calentarse en su punto de ebullición de 357°
lord [1]

Answer:

La entropía del vapor de mercurio cambia en 214.235 joules por Kelvin.

Explanation:

Por definición de entropía (S), medida en joules por Kelvin, tenemos la siguiente expresión:

dS = \frac{\delta Q}{T} (1)

Donde:

Q - Ganancia de calor, en joules.

T - Temperatura del sistema, en Kelvin.

Ampliamos (1) por la definición de calor latente:

dS = \frac{L_{v}}{T}\cdot dm (1b)

Donde:

m - Masa del sistema, en kilogramos.

L_{v} - Calor latente de vaporización, en joules

Puesto que no existe cambio en la temperatura durante el proceso de vaporización, transformamos la expresión diferencial en expresión de diferencia, es decir:

\Delta S = \frac{\Delta m \cdot L_{v}}{T}

Como vemos, el cambio de la entropía asociada al cambio de fase del mercurio es directamente proporcional a la masa del sistema. Si tenemos que m = 0.50\,kg,L_{v} = 2.7\times 10^{5}\,\frac{J}{kg} and T = 630.15\,K, entonces el cambio de entropía es:

\Delta S = \frac{(0.50\,kg)\cdot \left(2.7\times 10^{5}\,\frac{J}{kg} \right)}{630.15\,K}

\Delta S = 214.235 \,\frac{J}{K}

La entropía del vapor de mercurio cambia en 214.235 joules por Kelvin.

I NEED HELP PLEASE I have to explain the joke but I don’t know how to ?
Solnce55 [7]
Why do transformers hum? Transformer noise is caused by a phenomenon which causes a piece of magnetic sheet steel to extend itself when magnetized. When the magnetization is taken away, it goes back to its original condition. This phenomenon is scientifically referred to as magnetostriction.
