The surface is tilted to an angle of 37 degrees from the horizontal, as shown above in Figure 3. The blocks are each given a pus

h so that at the instant shown, they are moving toward each other. ii. At the instant shown in Figure 3, the blocks are moving toward each other with the same speed of 0.35m/s . The blocks collide 0.50 seconds later. What is the speed of the two-block system’s center of mass just before the blocks collide?

Answer:

Incomplete question: "Each block has a mass of 0.2 kg"

The speed of the two-block system's center of mass just before the blocks collide is 2.9489 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

θ = angle of the surface = 37°

m = mass of each block = 0.2 kg

v = speed = 0.35 m/s

t = time to collision = 0.5 s

Question: What is the speed of the two-block system's center of mass just before the blocks collide, vf = ?

Change in momentum:

delta(P)=F*delta(t)

P_{f} -P_{i}=F*delta(t)

2m(v_{f} -v_{i})=F*delta(t)

v_{i} =0.35-0.35=0

It is neccesary calculate the force:

F=(m+m)*g*sin\theta

Here, g = gravity = 9.8 m/s²

F=(0.2+0.2)*9.8*sin37=2.3591N

v_{f} =\frac{F*delta(t)}{2m} =\frac{2.3591*0.5}{2*0.2} =2.9489m/s

pentagon [3]
If a coin is dropped at a relatively low altitude, it's acceleration remains constant. However, if the coin is dropped at a very high altitude, air resistance will have a significant effect. The initial acceleration of the coin will be the greatest. As it falls down, air resistance will counteract the weight of the coin. So, the acceleration will decrease. Although the acceleration decreases, the coin still accelerates, that is why it falls faster. When the air resistance fully counters the weight of the coin, the acceleration will become zero and the coin will fall at a constant speed (terminal velocity). So, the answer should be, The acceleration decreases until it reaches 0. The closest answer is.
a. The acceleration decreases.

Springfield's "classic rock" radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 102.1 mhz. what is the length of the radio wave in meter
Mila [183]
The frequency of the radio wave is:
f=102.1 MHz = 102.1 \cdot 10^6 Hz

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is related to its frequency by the relationship
\lambda= \frac{c}{f}
where c is the speed of light and f the frequency. Plugging numbers into the equation, we find
\lambda= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{102.1 \cdot 10^6 Hz}= 2.94 m
and this is the wavelength of the radio waves in the problem.

1. A student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag.
Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

(a) Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it.

In this problem, a student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag.  She travels 0.3 km south to retrieve her item. She then travels 0.4 mi north to arrive at school.

0.4 miles = 0.64 km

displacement = 0.7-0.3+0.64 = 1.04 km

(b) Average velocity = total displacement/total time

t = 15 min = 0.25 hour

v=\dfrac{1.04\ km}{0.25\ h}\\\\v=4.16\ km/h

Hence, this is the required solution.

denpristay [2]

Answer: E= KQ/r^2

Explanation: An electric field is a region where an electric charge(positive or negative ) will experience a force.

The magnitude of an electric field E, at a point is given by Coulombs law as

E/ F/q

Where F= Coulombs force exertedon the charge and q= electric charge

E= F/q=(KQq)/r^2q

E=KQ/r^2
