Kinetic energy is calculated through the equation,

KE = 0.5mv²

At initial conditions,

m₁: KE = 0.5(0.28 kg)(0.75 m/s)² = 0.07875 J

m₂ : KE = 0.5(0.45 kg)(0 m/s)² = 0 J

Due to the momentum balance,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)(V)

Substituting the known values,

(0.29 kg)(0.75 m/s) + (0.43 kg)(0 m/s) = (0.28 kg + 0.43 kg)(V)

V = 0.2977 m/s

The kinetic energy is,
KE = (0.5)(0.28 kg + 0.43 kg)(0.2977 m/s)²
KE = 0.03146 J

The difference between the kinetic energies is 0.0473 J.

A 15.0-gram lead ball at 25.0°C was heated with 40.5 joules of heat. Given the specific heat of lead is 0.128 J/g∙°C, what is th

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

$T=4985.5^{\circ}K$

Explanation:

The equation that relates heat Q with the temperature change $T-T_0$ of a substance of mass <em>m </em>and specific heat <em>c </em>is $Q=mc(T-T_0)$ .

We want to calculate the final temperature <em>T, </em>so we have:

$T=\frac{Q}{mc}+T_0$

Which for our values means (in this case we do not need to convert the mass to Kg since <em>c</em> is given in g also and they cancel out, but we add $273^{\circ}$ to our temperature in $^{\circ}C$ to have it in $^{\circ}K$ as it must be):

$T=\frac{Q}{mc}+T_0=\frac{40.5J}{(15g)(0.128J/g^{\circ}C)}+(298^{\circ}K)=4985.5^{\circ}K$

A rocket starts from rest and moves upward from the surface of the earth. for the first 10.0 s of its motion, the vertical accel

Vikki [24]

acceleration of rocket is given here as

$a_y = 2.60* t$

now we know that

$\frac{dv}{dt} = 2.60t$

now integrating both sides

$\int dv = \int 2.60t dt$

$v = 2.60\frac{t^2}{2}$

$v = 1.30 t^2$

here since its given that rocket will accelerate for t = 10 s

so here we have

$v = 1.30 * 10^2$

$v = 130 m/s$

so after t = 10 s the speed of rocket will be 130 m/s upwards

The position function x(t) of a particle moving along an x axis is x = 4.00 - 6.00t2, with x in meters and t in seconds. (a) at

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The position function x(t) of a particle moving along an x axis is $x=4.00 - 6.00t^2$

a) The point at which particle stop, it's velocity = 0 m/s

So dx/dt = 0

0 = 0- 12t = -12t

So when time t= 0, velocity = 0 m/s

So the particle is starting from rest.

At t = 0 the particle is (momentarily) stop

b) When t = 0

$x=4.00 - 6.00*0^2 = 4m$

SO at x = 4m the particle is (momentarily) stop

c) We have $x=4.00 - 6.00t^2$

At origin x = 0

Substituting

$0 = 4.00 - 6.00t^2\\ \\ t^2 = \frac{2}{3}$

t = 0.816 seconds or t = - 0.816 seconds

So when t = 0.816 seconds and t = - 0.816 seconds, particle pass through the origin.

A 50-kg person stands 1.5 m away from one end of a uniform 6.0-m-long scaffold of mass 70.0 kg.

babymother [125]

Answer

given,

mass of the person, m = 50 Kg

length of scaffold = 6 m

mass of scaffold, M= 70 Kg

distance of person standing from one end = 1.5 m

Tension in the vertical rope = ?

now equating all the vertical forces acting in the system.

T₁ + T₂ = m g + M g

T₁ + T₂ = 50 x 9.8 + 70 x 9.8

T₁ + T₂ = 1176...........(1)

system is equilibrium so, the moment along the system will also be zero.

taking moment about rope with tension T₂.

now,

T₁ x 6 - mg x (6-1.5) - M g x 3 = 0

'3 m' is used because the weight of the scaffold pass through center of gravity.

6 T₁ = 50 x 9.8 x 4.5 + 70 x 9.8 x 3

6 T₁ = 4263

T₁ = 710.5 N

from equation (1)

T₂ = 1176 - 710.5

T₂ = 465.5 N

hence, T₁ = 710.5 N and T₂ = 465.5 N

Consider a variety of colors of visible light (say 400 nm to 700 nm) falling onto a pair of slits.

babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relationship between angle and wavelength for maxima and minima in Young's double slit experiment is given by

For constructive interference

$d\sin \theta =m\lambda$

For Destructive interference

$d\sin \theta =(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda$

where $\lambda =wavelength$

$d=slit\ width$

m=order of maxima and minima

for second order maxima i.e. $m=2$

For smallest separation taking $\lambda =400 nm, \theta =90^{\circ}$

$d\sin 90=2\times 400\times 10^{-9}$

$d=0.8\times 10^{-6}$

$d=0.8\mu m$
