A 10.0-g bullet moving at 300 m/s is fired into a 1.00-kg block at rest. the bullet emerges (the bullet does not get embedded in

Momentum before the hit:
p = mv = 0.01 * 300 + 1 * 0 

Momentum after the hit:
p = 0.01 * 150 + 1 * v

Momentum is conserved:
0.01 * 300 = 0.01 * 150 + v 
3 = 1.5 + v
v = 1.5

The velocity of the block after the collision is 1.5 m/s.

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the melting of ice, and expla
BlackZzzverrR [31]
  <span>Melting of ice is an endothermic process, meaning that energy is absorbed. When ice spontaneously melts, ΔH (change in enthalpy) is "positive". ΔS (entropy change) is also positive, because, becoming a liquid, water molecules lose their fixed position in the ice crystal, and become more disorganized. ΔG (free energy of reaction) is negative when a reaction proceeds spontaneously, as it happens in this case. Ice spontaneously melts at temperatures higher than 0°C. However, liquid water also spontaneously freezes at temperatures below 0°C. Therefore the temperature is instrumental in determining which "melting" of ice, or "freezing" of water becomes spontaneous. The whole process is summarized in the Gibbs free energy equation: 
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS</span>

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of (a) a mass of 1.0 g traveling at 1.0 m s−1 , (b) the same, traveling at 1.00 × 105 km s−1
lesantik [10]

Answer:

a)\lambda=6.63\times10^{-31}m

b)\lambda=6.63\times10^{-39}m

c)\lambda=9.97\times10^{-11}m

d)\lambda=4.03\times10^{-36}m

e)λ=∞

Explanation:

De Broglie discovered that an electron or other mass particles can have a wavelength associated, and that wavelength (λ) is:

\lambda=\frac{h}{P}=\frac{h}{mv}

with h the Plank's constant (6.63\times10^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s}) and P the momentum of the object that is mass (m) times velocity (v).

a)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(1.0\times10^{-3}kg*1.0)}

\lambda=6.63\times10^{-31}m

b)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(1.0\times10^{-3}*(1.00\times10^{8}))}

\lambda=6.63\times10^{-39}m

c)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(6.65\times10^{-27}*1000)}

\lambda=9.97\times10^{-11}m

d)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(74*2.22)}

\lambda=4.03\times10^{-36}m

e) \lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(74*0)}

λ=∞

A 2.00-kg block of ice is moving on a frictionless horizontal surface. At t = 0 the block is moving to the right with a velocity
enyata [817]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

We shall apply the concept of impulse .

Impulse = force x time = change in momentum

= 5 x 4 = 2 ( V - 3 )  , where V is final velocity of the object

20 = 2V - 6

V = 13 m /s

b )

Impulse applied = - 7 x 4 = - 28 kg m/s ( negative as direction of force is opposite motion )

If v be the final velocity

2 x 3 - 28 = 2 v  ( initial momentum - change in momentum = final momentum )

- 22 = 2v

v = - 11 m /s

object will move with 11 m /s in opposite direction .

An elevator manufacturing company is stress-testing a new elevator in an airless test shaft. The elevator is traveling at an unk
devlian [24]

Answer:

3.192 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 0.900 seconds

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement = 1.1 meters

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{s-\frac{1}{2}at^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{1.1-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 0.9^2}{0.9}\\\Rightarrow u=-3.192\ m/s

Velocity of the elevator when it snapped is 3.192 m/s

Average velocity is different than average speed because calculating average velocity involves ?
Studentka2010 [4]
Direction!

Velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity. Vector quantities includes both magnitude and direction, while scalar quantities only have magnitude. :)
