Answer:

2.71 m

Explanation:

Force is the product of mass and acceleration

F=m*a

Work done is the product of force and distance

Work done=F*d

In this case;

F= 35 N

Work done = 95 J

95 =35 * d

95 /35 = d

2.71 m= d

Two velcro-covered pucks slide across the ice, collide and stick to one another. Their interaction with the ice is frictionless.

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3. False

4. True

Explanation:

Conservation of Momentum

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the system formed by both pucks won't change regardless of their interaction if no external forces are acting on the system.

The momentum of an object of mass ma moving at speed va is

$p_a=m_a.v_a$

The total momentum of both pucks at the initial condition is

$p_1=m_a.v_a+m_b.v_b$

Both pucks are moving to the right and puck B has twice the mass of puck A (let's call it m), thus

$m_a=m$

$m_b=2m$

We are given

$v_a=6\ m/s\\v_b=2\ m/s$

The total initial momentum is

$p_1=6m+2(2m)=10m$

At the final condition, both pucks stick together, thus the total mass is 3m and the final speed is common, thus

$p_2=3m.v'$

Equating the initial and final momentum

$10m=3m.v'$

Solving for v'

$v'=10/3\ m/s=3.33\ m/s$

1. Compute the initial kinetic energy:

$\displaystyle K_1=\frac{1}{2}mv_a^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_b^2$

$\displaystyle K_1=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 6^2+\frac{1}{2}2m\cdot 2^2$

$K_1=18m+4m=22m$

The final kinetic energy is

$\displaystyle K_2=\frac{1}{2}mv'^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv'^2$

$\displaystyle K_2=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 3.33^2+\frac{1}{2}2m\cdot 3.33^2$

$K_2=16.63m$

As seen, part of the kinetic energy is lost in the collision, thus the statement is False

2. The initial speed of puck B was 2 m/s and the final speed was 3.33 m/s, thus it increased the speed: True

3. The initial speed of puck A was 6 m/s and the final speed was 3.33 m/s, thus it decreased the speed: False

4. The momentum is conserved since that was the initial assumption to make all the calculations. True

$p_1=10m$

$p_2=3m.v'=3m(10/3)=10m$

If a rock has a weight of 30 N on Earth, would its weight be more or less if it was on Jupiter (gravity on Jupiter = 25 m/s2)?

To lower the voltage from a "120 V" outlet, what is used (first, at least) in most situations

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

B. Transformer

Explanation:

A transformer is a device that is used to either raise or lower voltages and currents in an electrical circuit. In modern electrical distribution systems, transformers are used to boost voltage levels so as to decrease line losses during transmission. It basically trades voltage for current in a circuit, while not affecting the total electrical power. This means it takes high-voltage electricity with a small current and changes it into low-voltage electricity with a large current, or vice versa.

Why can't there be a number lower than absolute zero

nexus9112 [7]

Absolute zero is not about numbers. It's about temperature, and the
motion of molecules in gases.

You know that the temperature we feel with our skin is the result of the
average speed of all the tiny molecules zipping around or vibrating in
the solid, liquid, or gas.

The faster they're all moving, the warmer the substance feels to us.
The slower they're all moving, the cooler the substance feels to us.

When molecules slow down to zero and lose all of their kinetic energy,
that temperature is what we call 'absolute zero' ... if they're not moving
at all, then they can't move any slower.
