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

What is the moment of inertia of a 2.0 kg, 20-cm-diameter disk for rotation about an axis (a) through the center, and (b) throug
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

(a) I=0.01 kg.m²

(b) I=0.03 kg.m²

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of disk M=2.0 kg

Diameter of disk d=20 cm=0.20 m

To Find

(a) Moment of inertia through the center of disk

(b) Moment of inertia through the edge of disk

Solution

For (a) Moment of inertia through the center of disk

Using the equation of moment  of Inertia

I=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}\\  I=\frac{1}{2}(2.0kg)(0.20m/2)^{2}\\  I=0.01 kg m^{2}

For (b) Moment of inertia through the edge of disk

We can apply parallel axis theorem for calculating moment of inertia

I=(1/2)MR^{2}+MD\\ Here\\D=R\\I=(1/2)(2.0kg)(0.20m/2)^{2}+(2.0kg)(0.20m/2)^{2}\\  I=0.03kgm^{2}

A projectile is launched from ground level at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. Neglect air resistance and consider t
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

just before landing the ground

Explanation:

Let the velocity of projection is u and the angle of projection is 30°.

Let T is the time of flight and R is the horizontal distance traveled. As there is no force acting in horizontal direction, so the horizontal velocity remains constant. Let the particle hits the ground with velocity v.

initial horizontal component of velocity, ux = u Cos 30

initial vertical component of velocity, uy = u Sin 30

Time of flight is given by

T = \frac{2u Sin\theta }{g}

Final horizontal component of velocity, vx = ux = u Cos 30

Let vy is teh final vertical component of velocity.

Use first equation of motion

vy = uy - gT

v_{y}=u_{y}- g \times \frac{2u Sin\theta }{g}

v_{y}=u Sin 30 - 2u Sin 30

vy = - u Sin 30

The magnitude of final velocity is given by

v = \sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}

v = \sqrt{\left (uCos 30  \right )^{2}+\left (uSin 30  \right )^{2}}

v = u

Thus, the velocity is same as it just reaches the ground.
