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
1 answer:
First, let's find the speed 
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:
After the collision, the two blocks stick together and so now they have mass
and they are moving with speed :
For conservation of momentum
So we can write
From which we find
The two blocks enter the rough path with this velocity, then they are decelerated because of the frictional force
. The work done by the frictional force to stop the two blocks is
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
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:
From which we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:

Generally the refraction index of the cladding is mathematically represented as
Answer:
a) F = 2.66 10⁴ N, b) h = 1.55 m
Explanation:
For this fluid exercise we use that the pressure at the tap point is
Exterior
P₂ = P₀ = 1.01 105 Pa
inside
P₁ = P₀ + ρ g h
the liquid is water with a density of ρ=1000 km / m³
P₁ = 0.85 1.01 10⁵ + 1000 9.8 5
P₁ = 85850 + 49000
P₁ = 1.3485 10⁵ Pa
the net force is
ΔP = P₁- P₂
Δp = 1.3485 10⁵ - 1.01 10⁵
ΔP = 3.385 10⁴ Pa
Let's use the definition of pressure
P = Fe / A
F = P A
the area of a circle is
A = pi r² = [i d ^ 2/4
let's reduce the units to the SI system
d = 100 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 1 m
F = 3.385 104 pi / 4 (1) ²
F = 2.66 10⁴ N
b) the height for which the pressures are in equilibrium is
P₁ = P₂
0.85 P₀ + ρ g h = P₀
h =
h =
h = 1.55 m
