1. Two blocks travel along a level frictionless surface. Block A is initially moving to the right at 5.0 m/s, while block B is i

nitially at rest. After the collision, block A continues to the right at 1.0 m/s. The mass of block A is 2.0 kg and the mass of block B is 3.0 kg. The positive x-direction is to the right. a. Find the final velocity of block B. Show your work. b. Is the sign of the change in momentum of block A as a result of the collision positive, negative, or is it zero

Answer: 2.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of block A  is m_a=2\ kg

mass of block B is m_b=3\ kg

The initial velocity of block A u_a=5\ m/s

the initial velocity of block B is u_b=0

After collision velocity of block A is v_a=1\ m/s

Conserving momentum

m_au_a+m_bu_b=m_av_a+m_bv_b\\\\2\times 5+3\times0=2\times 1+3\times v_b\\\\v_b=\dfrac{8}{3}=2.67\ m/s

The momentum of block A after the collision is P_a=2\times 1=2\ kg.m/s

Therefore, there is no change in sign.

What is a fixed volume
nasty-shy [4]

A fixed volume is where either a solid or liquid has a volume that is constant under the same pressure and temperature. A gas cannot have a fixed volume because it changes by itself without any human interaction.

Best of Luck!

A muon has a rest mass energy of 105.7 MeV, and it decays into an electron and a massless particle. If all the lost mass is conv
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Rest mass energy of muon = 105.7 MeV

We know the rest mass of electron = 0.511 Mev

We need to calculate the value of γ

Using formula of energy

K_{rel}=(\gamma-1)mc^2

\dfrac{K_{rel}}{mc^2}=\gamma-1

Put the value into the formula

\gamma=\dfrac{105.7}{0.511}+1

\gamma=208

We need to calculate the electron’s velocity

Using formula of velocity

\gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}}

\gamma^2=\dfrac{1}{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}

\gamma^2-\gamma^2\times\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}=1

v^2=\dfrac{1-\gamma^2}{-\gamma^2}\times c^2

Put the value into the formula

v^2=\dfrac{1-(208)^2}{-208^2}\times c^2

v=c\sqrt{\dfrac{1-(208)^2}{-208^2}}

v=0.9999 c\ m/s

Hence, The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.
