Answer:

See bolded below.

Explanation:

Consider the " Before " and " After. " " Before, " this particle 1 was trying to catch up with this particle 2, and " after " particle one had collided with particle two. Take a look at the attachment below for a more detailed examination.

Here is how this will play out. Particle 1, with great velocity, will hit particle 2, which would mean that Particle 2 has less velocity than Particle 1. Now after the collision, energy is transferred to Particle 2, and while Particle 1 has now stopped in it's tracks, Particle 2 - with more energy than before - will continue as long as it has to before friction eventually brings it to a stop.

_______________________________________________________

From this we can conclude that Vf, from the picture below, must have less energy than V1, but more energy than V2 - and vice versa.

A 4.00-kg box sits atop a 10.0-kg box on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the two boxes and betwe
natta225 [31]
First, we have to calculate the normal forces on different surfaces.The normal force on the 4.00 kg, N1 = (4)(9.8) = 39.2 N. The normal force on the 10.0 kg, N2 = (14)(9.8) = 137.2 N. Looking at the 10.0 kg block, the static forces that counteract the pulling force equals the sum of the friction from the two surfaces. Fc = N1 * 0.80 + N2 * 0.80 = 141.12 N. Since the counter force is less than the pulling force, the blocks start to move and hence, kinetic frictions are considered.


Therefore, f1 = uk * N1 = (0.60)(39.2) = 23.52 N.

A particle of mass m= 2.5 kg has velocity of v = 2 i m/s, when it is at the origin (0,0). Determine the z- component of the angu
melomori [17]

Answer:

please read the answer below

Explanation:

The angular momentum is given by

|\vec{L}|=|\vec{r}\ X \ \vec{p}|=m(rvsin\theta)

By taking into account the angles between the vectors r and v in each case we obtain:

a)

v=(2,0)

r=(0,1)

angle = 90°

L=(2.5kg)(1)(2\frac{m}{s})sin90\°=5.0kg\frac{m}{s}

b)

r=(0,-1)

angle = 90°

L=(2.5kg)(1)(2\frac{m}{s})sin90\°=5.0kg\frac{m}{s}

c)

r=(1,0)

angle = 0°

r and v are parallel

L = 0kgm/s

d)

r=(-1,0)

angle = 180°

r and v are parallel

L = 0kgm/s

e)

r=(1,1)

angle = 45°

L = (2.5kg)(2\frac{m}{s})(\sqrt{2})sin45\°=5kg\frac{m}{s}

f)

r=(-1,1)

angle = 45°

the same as e):

L = 5kgm/s

g)

r=(-1,-1)

angle = 135°

L=(2.5kg)(2\frac{m}{s})(\sqrt{2})sin135\°=5kg\frac{m}{s}

h)

r=(1,-1)

angle = 135°

the same as g):

L = 5kgm/s

hope this helps!!

Alik [6]

Answer:

You won't feel any change and will have no way to know that you've left the earth.

Explanation:

One of the formulations of the principle says that the properties of an inertial system under the effect of a gravitational field are the same as a non-inertial(accelerated) system. The inertial system under the effect of a gravitational field occurs when you are in the room on earth, and when the room is sent accelerating through space you have the non-inertial system. Both have the same properties, so it's impossible to tell the difference if you can't look outside.
