Two blocks of masses 3.0 kg and 5.0 kg are connected by a spring and rest on a frictionless surface. They are given velocities t

oward each other such that the 3.0 kg block travels initially at 1.2 m/s toward the center of mass, which remains at rest. What is the initial speed of the other block?

Answer:

-0.7 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of first block = m1 =3.0 kg

Mass of second block = m2= 5.0 kg

Velocity of first block = V1= 1.2 m/s

Velocity of second block = V2 = ?

Momentum of Center of mass MVcom  is sum of both blocks momentum and is given by

MVcom= m1v1+m2v2

Where

M= mass of center of mass

Vcom= Velocity of center of mass=0 m/s (because center of mass is at rest , so Vcom = 0 m.sec)

Putting values, we get;

0= 3×1.2+5v2

==> v2=  3.6/5= - 0.7 m/s

-ve sign indicates that block 2 is moving in opposite direction of block 1

Answer:

31.55 m/s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity of the arrow is u metre per second.

Angle of projection, θ = 40 degree

range = 100 m

Use the formula for the range.

R = \frac{u^{2}Sin2\theta }{g}

100 = u^2 Sin(2 x 40) / 9.8

100 x 9.8 = u^2 Sin 80

u^2 = 995.11

u = 31.55 m/s

Which of the following material offers the lowest resistivity?
Yuki888 [10]
Lower resistivity means higher conductivity: among these materials, the best conductor is silver, therefore it must be the material with lowest resistivity among those. We can also have a look at the value of resistivity of the different materials listed in the problem, to check our answer. The resistivities of the materials are the following:
Wood: 1.00\cdot 10^{3} \Omega \cdot m
Salt water: 2.00\cdot 10^{-1} \Omega \cdot m
Silver: 1.59\cdot 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m
Lead: 2.20\cdot 10^{-7} \Omega \cdot m
<span>We see that the material with lowest resistivity among those is silver, therefore the correct answer is silver.</span>
