Two blocks with mass M and 3M on a horizontal frictionless surface are pushed together and compress a spring of negligible mass

Naily [24]

Answer:

launching speed of the lighter block = -6 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of light block; M

Mass of heavy block; 3M

Speed of launched block: v = 2m/s

We are told that the two blocks are sitting on the horizontal frictionless surface. Thus, we can say that no external force is being applied on the system and so, the momentum of the whole system is conserved accordingly to that condition.

We are also told that when the rope is cut with scissors, that the heavier block attains the speed of 2 m/s in the positive x-direction which is horizontal direction.

We know that formula for momentum is; M = mass x velocity.

Thus, the momentum of the heavier block is calculated as;

M_1 = 3M × 2

M_1 = 6M kg.m/s

Since no external force is applied on the object, the initial momentum will be zero.

Hence, to conserve the system, the momentum of the lighter block will be equal and opposite to the momentum of heavier block.

So, momentum of lighter block is;

M_2 = -6M kg.m/s

Since mass of lighter block is M and formula for momentum = mass x velocity.

Thus;

-6M = Mv

Where v is speed of lighter block.

So, v = -6M/M

v = -6 m/s

Given three different locations on Earth's surface, where will the weight of a person be greatest?

Feliz [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, we simply have to refer to the laws of the equations of gravitational mechanics.

The equation given by Newton tells us that

$F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2} }{r^{2} }$

In the case where we compare a specific place where the Force of Gravity is greater or lesser, we focus on the term assigned to the Planet's Radius.

In the case of $G, m_{1} ,m_{2}$ , we understand that they are constant.

We can easily notice that the more the Radius (Height seen from a viewer on the ground), the lower the force will be.

In other words, the smaller the radius in which the measurement is made with respect to the center of the earth, the greater the gravitational force.

In that order of ideas the smallest radio has South Pole, which is about 6356 km from the center of the Earth on the Equator line

After a check up, a person now has a far point of 100 cm, but with good near point vision. He needs to wear a new pair of correc

lakkis [162]

Answer:

so his far point according to this pair of glass is 200 cm

Explanation:

power of old pair of corrective glasses is given as

$P = -0.5 dioptre$

now we have

$f = \frac{1}{P}$

$f = -2 m$

$f = -200 cm$

now we know that for normal vision the maximum distance of vision is for infinite distance

so by lens formula we have

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}$

$\frac{1}{d_i} + 0 = \frac{1}{200}$

$d_i = 200 cm$

so his far point according to this pair of glass is 200 cm
