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.

Sound waves travel fastest through a A) gas. B) liquid. C) solid. D) vacuum.
earnstyle [38]

Sound waves travel faster through <em>solids</em> than they do through gases or liquids.  <em>(C)  </em>They don't travel through vacuum at all.

Example:

Speed of sound in normal air . . . around 340 m/s

Speed of sound in water . . . around 1,480 m/s

Speed of sound in iron . . . around 5,120 m/s

A force of 40N is applied to a 28 g mass, what is the acceleration? (round to the hundredths place)
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

1428.6m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force applied on the body  = 40N

Mass of the body  = 28g

                    1000g  = 1kg

                      28g will therefore be 0.028kg

Unknown:

Acceleration  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression derived from Newton's second law of motion.

         Force  = mass x acceleration

Insert the parameters and solve;

            40  = 0.028 x acceleration

           Acceleration  = \frac{40}{0.028}   = 1428.6m/s²

How many times longer than the length of one year is the age of the universe?
Len [333]
No one can really tell exactly how old the universe is. However, scientists have attempted to estimate the time by using the concept of Doppler effect which depends on the frequency of the stars and their relative velocities. From literature, the universe is about 13.82 billion years old. Thus, the age of the universe is 13.82×10⁹ times longer than a year.
