Block 1 of mass m1 slides along a frictionless floor and into a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 2 of mas

s m2 = 3.0m1. Prior to the collision, the center of mass of the two-block system had a speed of 5.0 m/s. Afterward, what are the speeds of (a) the center of mass and (b) block 2?

<span>Answers: (a) 2.0 m/s (b) 4 m/s

Method:

(a) By conservation of momentum, the velocity of the center of mass is unchanged, i.e., 2.0 m/s.

(b) The velocity of the center of mass = (m1v1+m2v2) / (m1+m2)

Since the second mass is initially at rest, vcom = m1v1 / (m1+m2)

Therefore, the initial v1 = vcom (m1+m2) / m1 = 2.0 m/s x 6 = 12 m/s

Since the second mass is initially at rest, v2f = v1i (2m1 /m1+m2 ) = 12 m/s (2/6) = 4 m/s </span>

a box weighing 155 N is pushed horizontally down the hall at constant velocity. the applied force is 83 n what is the coefficien
meriva

Answer:

μ = 0.535

Explanation:

On a level floor, normal force = weight.

N = W

Friction force = normal force × coefficient of friction.

F = Nμ

Substitute:

F = Wμ

83 = 155μ

μ = 0.535

Round as needed.

Write the equivalent formulas for velocity, acceleration, and force using the relationships covered for UCM, Newton’s Laws, and
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The newton’s second law is F=ma

The Gravitational force is F=\dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

Explanation:

Given that,

The equivalent formulas for velocity, acceleration, and force using the relationships covered for UCM, Newton’s Laws, and Gravitation.

We know that,

Velocity :

The velocity is equal to the rate of position of the object.

v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}....(I)

Acceleration :

The acceleration is equal to the rate of velocity of the object.

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}....(II)

Newton’s second Laws

The force is equal to the change in momentum.

In mathematically,

F=\dfrac{d(p)}{dt}

Put the value of p

F=\dfrac{d(mv)}{dt}

F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}

Put the value from equation (II)

F=ma

This is newton’s second laws.

Gravitational force :

The force is equal to the product of mass of objects and divided by square of distance.

In mathematically,

F=\dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

Where, m₁₂ = mass of first object

m= mass of second object

r = distance between both objects

Hence, The newton’s second law is F=ma

The Gravitational force is F=\dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

A beam of electrons is sent horizontally down the axis of a tube to strike a fluorescent screen at the end of the tube. On the w
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The answer is 3.

Explanation:

The answer to this question can be found by applying the right hand rule for which the pointer finger is in the direction of the electron movement, the thumb is pointing in the direction of the magnetic field, so the effect that this will have on the electrons is the direction that the middle finger points in which is right in this example.

So as a result of the magnetic field directed vertically downwards which is at a right angle with the electron beams, the electrons will move to the right and the spot will be deflected to the right of the screen when looking from the electron source.

I hope this answer helps.

An 80.0-kg object is falling and experiences a drag force due to air resistance. The magnitude of this drag force depends on its
Alja [10]

Answer:

 Terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s

Explanation:

 We know that the terminal velocity is attained when drag force and gravitational force are of the same magnitude.

Gravitational force = mg = 80 * 9.8 = 784 N

Drag force = 12.0v+4.00v^2

Equating both, we have

    784=12.0v+4.00v^2\\ \\ v^2+3v-196=0\\ \\ (v-12.58)(v+15.58)=0

  So v = 12.58 m/s or v = -15.58 m/s ( not possible)

 So terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s
