Answer from: brittanysanders

v₂/v₁ = 0.777

Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is given below;

A block of mass m1 1.40 kg moving at 12.00 m/s undergoes a completely inelastic collision with a stationary block of mass m2 0.400 kg . The blocks then move, stuck together, at speed v2. After a short time, the two-block system collides inelastically with a third block, of mass m3 2.70 kg, which is initially at rest. The three blocks then move, stuck together, with speed v3.(Figure 1) Assume that the blocks slide without friction Express your answer numerically using three significant figures

Part A Find , the ratio of the velocity 2 of the two-block system after the first collision to the velocity V1 of the block of mass m1 before the collision.

Explanation:

Velocity, v₁ (of mass m₁) = 12.0 m/s

Velocity of the two masses after inelastic collision = v₂

According to the principle of conservation of linear momentum, momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v₂

where m₁ = mass of first block = 1.40 kg

u₁ = initial velocity of first block = 12.0 m/s

m₂ = mass of second block = 0.40 kg

u₂ = initial velocity of second block = 0 m/s

v₂ = final velocity of the two-block system = ?

Substituting the values in the conservation of momentum formula

1.4 * 12 + 0.4 * 0 = (1.4 + 0.4) * v₂

16.8 + 0 = 1.8 * v₂

v₂ = 16.8/1.8

v₂ = 9.33 m/s

v₂/v₁ = 9.33/12.0

v₂/v₁ = 0.777

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

$p(t)=0.3t^2+6t+80$

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

$p(0)=0+0+80=80$

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

$p(t)=2\times 80=160$

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

$160=0.3t^2+6t+80\\\\160-80=0.3t^2+6t\\\\80=0.3t^2+6t\\\\0.3t^2+6t-80=0\\\\\text{using quadratic formula ,we get }\\\\t_{1,\: 2}=\frac{-60\pm \sqrt{60^2-4\cdot \: 3\cdot \: 800}}{2\cdot \: 3}\\\\t=-29.14\ and\ t=9.149$

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

Antireflective coatings on solar cells are often made by applying a thin film of silicon nitride (sinx), which has an index of refractive of 1.2, on the top of the silicon solar cell, which has a refractive index of about 3.5. however, the sun emits radiation of various wavelengths which the solar cell absorbs, and the antireflective coating can only absolutely minimize the reflection of one of these wavelengths. the coating thickness is chosen to reduce the reflection of green/yellow light (e = 2.2 ev), which is the most intense color in the solar spectrum (shown below). which of the following coatings would minimize reflection of green/yellow light? the answer is 820 nm how? what is the angular width of the central maximum of an electron traveling at 2 x 108 m/s going through a single slit of width 1 mm.
