A 0.100 kg limestone cube is released from rest, and proceeds to slide down a frictionless ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, the

limestone cube makes an elastic collision with a steel cube whose mass is 0.200 kg, which is initially at rest. At what vertical height should the limestone cube be placed such that the steel cube has a velocity of 1.50 m/s after the collision

Answer:

the height at which the limestone cube must be placed is 0.23 m.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of limestone cube, m₁ = 0.1 kg

initial velocity of the limestone cube, u₁ = 0

mass of steel cube, m₂ = 0.2 kg

initial velocity of the steel cube, u₂ = 0

final velocity of the steel cube, v₂ = 1.5 m/s

Apply the principle of conservation of energy to determine the height of the limestone cube.

Potential energy of the limestone cube at top = Kinetic energy of steel cube at base

m₁gh = ¹/₂m₂v₂²

where;

h is the height at which the limestone cube is placed

h = \frac{m_2v_2^2}{2m_1g} \\\\h = \frac{0.2\times 1.5 ^2}{2 \times 0.1 \times 9.8} \\\\h =0.23 \ m

Therefore, the height at which the limestone cube must be placed is 0.23 m.

Why does it rain a lot?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets. ... As more and more droplets join together they become too heavy and fall from the cloud as rain. Warm air can hold more moisture than cool air. When the warmer air is cooled and the moisture condenses, it often rains more heavily.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The answer is a.

Explanation: Billions of years ago, there were lakes and rivers in the surface of mars because mars had a denser atmosphere and higher surface temperatures which allowed a vast amount of liquid water on the surface. Recently, most of the water on mars today exist as ice.

A 12.0-g cd with a radius of 5.81 cm rotates with an angular speed of 33.2 rad/s. what is its kinetic energy?
schepotkina [342]
Use the formula 1/2*I*w^2 where w is the angular speed and I is the rotaional inirtia (for disk it is .5*mass*radius^2).
