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.

Answer:

The answer is

A. Pressure is distributed uniformly throughout the fluid and the area of the plunger is much larger than the area of the opening.

Explanation:

 The question is incomplete, here is a complete question with full options

You are caulking a window. The caulk is rather thick and, to lay the bead correctly, the exit nozzle is small. A caulking gun uses a plunger which is operated by pulling back on a handle. You must squeeze the handle very hard to get the caulk to come out of the narrow opening because:_________.

A. pressure is distributed uniformly throughout the fluid and the area of the plunger is much larger than the area of the opening.

B. viscous drag between the walls of the tip and the caulk causes the caulk to swirl around chaotically.

C. Newton’s third law requires most of the energy in the caulk to be used to push back on the plunger rather than moving it through the tip.

D. the high density of the caulk impedes its flow through the small opening.

Since the caulk is thick and the exit nozzle is small, the pressure needed to deliver the caulk will be very high as pressure is uniformly distributed at the plunger side at every part of the caulk, hence very high pressure is needed to deliver the caulk which is why the handle needed the very hard squeeze

A ray of white light moves through the air and strikes the surface of water in a beaker. The index of refraction of the water is
Naily [24]

Answer:

except ii and iii

Explanation:

The angle of reflection is the angle to the normal the white rays strikes the water surface and it is the incidence angle. Since the white light is moving from less dense medium to a denser medium or a medium with a higher refractive index; the angle of refraction will be less than 30 degrees. Total internal reflection cannot occur because the white light is traveling from a less dense medium to a denser medium.

Predict changes in state according to change in particle motion. Know the vocabulary used to describe changes of state.
ziro4ka [17]

The change in the state of matter causes change in the motion of the particles of the matter. The gaseous state of matter has the greatest speed while the solid state has the least speed.

The change in state of every matter is accompanied by lost or gained of energy.

Example is water.

The solid state of water is ice. The motion of particles of the water is relatively zero because the molecules are held at a fixed position.

The liquid state of water occurs when the temperature of the ice is increased above zero degree Celsius. The speed of the particles of water in liquid state is greater than solid state.

The gaseous state of water occurs when the temperature of the liquid water is increased beyond 100 degree Celsius. The speed of water in gaseous state is greater than liquid state.
