Answer:
9.43 m/s
Explanation:
First of all, we calculate the final kinetic energy of the car.
According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on the car is equal to its change in kinetic energy:
where
W = -36.733 J is the work done on the car (negative because the car is slowing down, so the work is done in the direction opposite to the motion of the car)
is the final kinetic energy
is the initial kinetic energy
Solving,
Now we can find the final speed of the car by using the formula for kinetic energy
where
m = 661 kg is the mass of the car
v is its final speed
Solving for v, we find
Answer: Density
Explanation: Recall Archimedes Principle. There are two forces acting an object submerged in a liquid: the force of gravity and the (opposite directed) force of buoyancy. The buoyancy is proportional to the mass of the liquid displaced by the submerged part of the object.
Density is the ratio of mass to volume. Therefore if the density of the submerged object is higher than that of the displaced liquid, the net force will point in the direction of the gravity (object will sink). In the opposite case, the net force will point in the direction of the buoyant force (upward) and the object will float.
Answer:
Wavelength
Explanation:
The wavelength of a transverse wave (where the oscillation occurs perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave) is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests ot two consecutive troughs.
In a longitudinal wave, where the oscillation occurs parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave, the wavelength is defined as the distance between two consecutive compressions or between two consecutive rarefactions.
Other important definitions for a wave are:
- Frequency: the number of complete cycles per second
- Period: the time needed for one complete cycle to occur
- Amplitude: the distance between the equilibrium position and the maximum displacement of the wave
Answer: In a longitudinal wave, the crest and trough of a transverse wave correspond respectively to the compression, and the rarefaction. A compression is when the particles in the medium through which the wave is traveling are closer together than in its natural state, that is, when their density is greatest.
