Answer:

2.47 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum = Mass X Velocity

If they were locked together, it means its a perfectly inelastic collision. Therefore,

Total momentum before = Total momentum after

Total momentum before = (20 X 20) - (18 X 17)

= 94

Total momentum after = 94

Y = Object speed after collision

94 = (20+18)Y

Y = 2.47368421 m/s

A positively charged objectwith a mass of 0.114 kg oscillates at the end of a spring, generating ELF (extremely low frequency) r
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

  • k = 167.33 N/m

Explanation:

  • The radio waves have a fixed relationship between the propagation speed (the speed of light in vacuum), the frequency and the wavelength, as follows:
  • v = c = λ*f

        where c= speed of light in vacuum = 3*10⁸ m/s, λ = wavelength =  

        4.92*10⁷ m.

        Solving for f, we get the frequency of the radio waves:

        f = 6.1 Hz

  • Now, from the Hooke's law, we know that the mass attached at the end of the spring oscillates with an angular frequency defined by  a fixed relationship between the spring constant k and the mass m, as follows:

       \omega_{o}^{2} =\frac{k}{m}  (1)

  • Now, we know that there exists a fixed relationship between the angular frequency and the frequency, as follows:

       \omega = 2*\pi *f (2)    

  • We also know that f in (2) is the same that we got for the radio waves, so replacing (2) in (1), and rearranging terms, we can solve for k, as follows:
  • k = 4*\pi ^{2}*f^{2} *m = 4*\pi ^{2} * (6.1Hz)^{2} * 0.114 kg = 167.33 N/m

A
asambeis [7]

Answer:

22Volts

Explanation:

The pd at the terminal is known as the emf

Since there are Ten 2.2V cells

Terminal voltage = number of cells * pd of one cell

Terminal voltage = 10 * 2.2

Terminal voltage = 22V

Hence the pd at the battery terminals​ is 22Volts

Describe a situation when you might travel at a high velocity bit with low acceleration
iren [92.7K]

I am sitting in my seat.
I am listening to my mp3 and reading my book.
My eyes are getting heavy.  They start to close.
I try to stay awake, but it's no use.
I am so warm and comfortable and sleepy,
and I have just finished my dinner.
Finally I can't help it.  Resistance is futile.
I give up, and fall deep asleep.
My head rests back against my soft, comfy seat.

My seat is in row 26 on the airplane I'm flying in
to visit my grandmother on the coast.
We are cruising at 560 miles an hour, bearing 280°,
at flight level 320 .
The temperature outside my window is  -60°F .
