Block A has a mass of 2kg and a speed of 50 m/s along the positive x axis.
Block B has a mass of 4 kg and a speed of 25 m/s along the negative x axis.
The two blocks collide head-on in a perfectly elastic collision.
Determine the velocity of each mass after the collision.
Momentum is conserved, so
(2 kg) (50 m/s) + (4 kg) (-25 m/s) = (2 kg) v₁' + (4 kg) v₂'
where v₁' and v₂' are the velocities of the two blocks after the collision. Simplifying this gives
100 kg•m/s - 100 kg•m/s = (2 kg) v₁' + (4 kg) v₂'
0 = (2 kg) v₁' + (4 kg) v₂'
v₁' = -2v₂'
Energy is also conserved, so
1/2 (2 kg) (50 m/s)² + 1/2 (4 kg) (-25 m/s)² = 1/2 (2 kg) (v₁')² + 1/2 (4 kg) (v₂')²
Simplifying yields
2500 J + 1250 J = (1 kg) (v₁')² + (2 kg) (v₂')²
3750 J = (1 kg) (v₁')² + (2 kg) (v₂')²
Substitute v₁' = -2v₂' and solve for v₂' :
3750 J = (1 kg) (-2v₂')² + (2 kg) (v₂')²
3750 J = (6 kg) (v₂')²
(v₂')² = 625 J/kg = 625 m²/s²
v₂' = 25 m/s
Then the first block has final velocity
v₁' = -2 (25 m/s)
v₁' = -50 m/s
The Earth currently has an orbital period of 1 year and a semi-major
axis length of 1 AU. If the Earth's orbit changed and the semi-major
axis length increased to 1.1 AU, how would the Earth's orbital period change?
A: It would increase by 0.15 years
B: It would increase by 0.032 years
C: It would decrease by 0.15 years
D: It would decrease by 0.032 years
The Earth's orbital period change is A: It would increase by 0.15 years
Using Kepler's third law which states that the square of the orbital period of the planet is directly proportional to the cube of its distance from the sun.
So, T² ∝ R³
T'²/T² = R'³/R³ where
T = orbital period at R = 1 yearR = initial axis length = 1 AUT' = orbital period at R'R' = final axis length = 1.1 AU.So, making T' subject of the formula, we have
T' = [√(R'/R)³]T
T' = [√(1.1 AU/1 AU)³] × 1 year
T' = [√(1.1)³] × 1 year
T' = √1.331 × 1 year
T' = 1.15 × 1 year
T' = 1.15 years.
So, the change in the Earth's orbital period ΔT = T' - T
= 1.15 years - 1 year
= 0.15 years
Since this is positive, the orbital period increases by 0.15 years.
So, the Earth's orbital period change is A: It would increase by 0.15 years

John does 3.2J of work to lower the window shade in her bedroom a distance of 0.8m. How much force must John exert on the window shade?
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4 \ Newtons}}}[/tex]
Explanation:
Work is energy transferred when an object is moved. It is the product of force and distance.
[tex]W= F*d[/tex]
John did 3.2 Joules of work or 3.2 Newton meters of work (the units are equivalent). The window shade was lowered a distance of 0.8 meters.
W=3.2 N*m d= 0.8 mSubstitute the values into the formula.
[tex]3.2 \ N *m = F * 0.8 \ m[/tex]
We are solving for the force, so we must isolate the variable F. It is being multiplied by 0.8 meters. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so divide both sides of the equation by 0.8 m.
[tex]\frac {3.2 \ N*m}{0.8 \ m}= \frac{ F* 0.8 \ m}{0.8 \ m}[/tex]
The units of meters cancel.
[tex]\frac {3.2 \ N}{0.8 }=F[/tex]

describe how visible light is used with solar photovoltaic panels to produce electricity
Photovoltaic panels are used to produce alternating current using sunlight. It uses solar cells which are photoactive and produce a photoelectric effect and thereby a potential is created.
What is photoelectric effect?When photons from the light energy is hit on a metallic surface the photon collides with the electrons of the metals and electrons are ejected from the metal surface. This phenomenon is called photoelectric effect.
In a solar photovoltaic panel, photovoltaic cells layers of semi-conducting materials, such as silicon, are sandwiched photovoltaic cells. When photons from sunshine strike each layer, its unique electronic properties energise and produce an electric field.
The current required to generate electricity is produced through what is known as the photoelectric effect. Electricity produced by solar panels is in the direct current form. This is then transformed into an alternating current by passing via an inverter.

Help it’s multiple choice 11 through 15 please!
1. • Here, force of gravity on the block = 20 N.
• Therefore, the normal force will also be the same, i.e., 20 N [According to Newton's Third Law, on every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction]
• The coefficient
[tex] u_{k} = 0.4[/tex]
• Force of friction =
[tex]u_{k} \times \: normal \: \: \: force \\ = 0.4 \times 20N \\ = 8N[/tex]
• Hence, the force of sliding friction between the block and the ground is 8 N.
• So, it is option c. 8 N
2. The answer is option d. continue in the same direction with no change in speed.
We know, force = mass × acceleration. When force is 0, then acceleration will also be 0 since mass cannot be 0. So, there will be no change in speed.
3. It is option b. force that is required to give a one kilogram object the acceleration of 1 m/s^2.
Newton is the SI unit of force. As mentioned earlier, force = mass × acceleration. The SI unit of mass and acceleration is Kg and m/s^2 respectively.
So, 1 N = 1 Kg × 1 m/s^2.
4. It is d. not zero.
Acceleration is the change in speed. So, if the force is zero, then acceleration will not occur.
5. Force = 2 N
Acceleration of the object A = 2 m/s^2.
Acceleration of the object B = 1 m/s^2.
Therefore, mass of the object A = 2 N ÷ 2 m/s^2 = 1 Kg
And, mass of the object B = 2 N ÷ 1 m/s^2 = 2 Kg
So, the mass of object B is greater than that of object A.
Hence, the answer is option c. Object B has more mass.

What, it isn’t?!
Sorry, I had to.
As far as I have read and understood, the Sumerians and later the Babylonians both had astronomical calendars that already differentiated planets and stars. Earth was not the center to them, the Sun likely was. That was around 2,200 - 1,600 BC.
After that, Greek philosopher Aristarchus of Samos (310 - 230 BC) was the first (recorded) to have believed the solar system was organized around the Sun, rather than the Earth. His heliocentric model was unpopular during Aristarchus’ lifetime, although it would inspire astronomers centuries later, such as Copernicus and Galileo.
Now, there are numerous archeological findings (cave paintings) and studies, that all suggest an understanding of complex astronomy in prehistoric times dating back as far as 40,000 years. This also explains how early, prehistoric migrants may have navigated the seas.

[URGENT] A swimmer wants to end up at a dock due north of her starting position on the south shore of a river. In still water her maximum speed is 1.25m/s. The river has a current flowing 0.35m/s [E].
a.) calculate the direction that she must aim herself through the water to arrive at the dock.
b.) how long will it take for the swimmer to cross the river, if the distance from the starting point to the dock is 300 m?
Please show all your work, thanks
Explanation:
As you can see in the picture, we want the swimmer to go on a straight line, so the speed of the water must be equal to the speed of the swimmer along the x-axis. We also know the value of v, so we can calculate the of the cosine of the angle (alpha) between Vx and V. Thanks to the fundamental relation of gioniometry (cos^2(x) + sin^2(x) = 1) we can find the sine of alpha and calculate Vy. With Vy we can calculate the time that the swimmer will use for reaching the dock: s = Vy * t => t = s/(Vy).
I'll let you do all the calculations, you just have to plug in values.
a)The direction that she must aim herself through the water to arrive at the dock will be 73.7°.
b)The time it takes for the swimmer to cross the river will be 240 seconds.
What is speed?Speed is defined as the rate of change of the distance or the height attained. it is a time-based quantity. it is denoted by u for the initial speed while v for the final speed. its si unit is m/sec.
Given data;
The maximum speed of the swimmer In still water,v=1.25m/s.
Speed of river = 0.35m/s [E]
α is the direction that she must aim herself through the water to arrive at the dock.
t is the time it takes for the swimmer to cross the river
The distance from the starting point to the dock is,s = 300 m
If the swimmer were to swim straight, the water's speed along the x-axis would have to match that of the swimmer.
[tex]\rm v_w = v_x = 0.35 \ m/sec[/tex]
α is the angle between vx and v
The value of the
[tex]\rm cos \alpha = \frac{v_x}{v} \\\\ \alpha = cos ^{-1}(\frac{0.35}{1.25} )\\\\ \alpha = 73.7 ^0[/tex]
The time that the swimmer will use for reaching the dock;
s = V×t
t = s/(v)
t=300 m / 1.25 m/sec
t = 240 seconds
Hence, the direction that she must aim herself through the water to arrive at the dock. and it takes for the swimmer to cross the river will be 73.7° and 240 seconds respectively.

a. What is the centripetal acceleration?
b. What is the centripetal force?
c. Is the net force on the car less than, equal to, or greater than the centripetal force? Why?
Hi there!
a.
The equation for centripetal acceleration is as follows:
[tex]\large\boxed{a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}}}[/tex]
Plug in the given values to solve:
[tex]\large\boxed{a_c = \frac{(65)^2}{75} = 56.33 m/s^2}[/tex]
b.
According to Newton's Second Law:
[tex]\large\boxed{\Sigma F = ma}}[/tex]
The acceleration is v²/r, so the net force is:
[tex]\large\boxed{\Sigma F = m(\frac{v^2}{r})}}[/tex]
Multiply by the given mass:
[tex]\large\boxed{\Sigma F = 700(56.33) = 39433.33 N}}[/tex]
c.
There is NO net force in the vertical direction since the object is NOT accelerating in the vertical direction (normal force and weight cancel).
Thus, the ONLY net force experienced by the object is in the horizontal direction and is EQUAL to the centripetal force.
A block of mass 1.0 kg rests on a trolley of mass 4.0 kg. The coefficient of dynamic friction between the block and the trolley is 0.30. A horizontal force f = 5.0 n acts on the block. The block slides over the trolley. What is the acceleration of the trolley?
Answer:
the acceleration of the trolley is the acceleration of the trolley is 0.75 m/s^-2
Explanation:
friction force between the block and the trolley
= 1×0.3×9.8
= 2.94 N
(F = ma)
the acceleration of the trolley
= friction force/mass
= 2.94/4
= 0.735 m/s^-2
= 0.75 m/s^-2
The acceleration of the trolley will be 0.75 m/s².Acceleration is the ratio of the force to the mass.
What is the friction force?It is a type of opposition force acting on the surface of the body that tries to oppose the motion of the body. its unit is Newton (N).
Mathematically it is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction and normal reaction.
The friction force between the block and the trolley is found as;
[tex]\rm F_f = \mu N \\\\ \rm F_f = \mu \times mg \\\\ \rm F_f = 0.30 \times 1 \timess 9.81 \\\\ \rm F_f= 2.94 \ N[/tex]
Mechanical force is equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration which is equal to the frictional force;
[tex]\rm F_f =F=ma \\\\ \rm a = \frac{F}{m} \\\\ \rm a = \frac{2.94}{4} \\\\ a=0.735 \ ms^{-2}[/tex]
Hence the acceleration of the trolley will be 0.75 m/s².Acceleration is the ratio of the force to the mass.
