Yes! I think there are two ways you could go with this answer: 1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse. 2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.

How does frequency relate to pitch?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
The sensation of a frequency is commonly referred to as the pitch of a sound. A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave. ... That is, two sound waves sound good when played together if one sound has twice the frequency of the other.

A bullet of mass 0.1 kg traveling horizontally at a speed of 100 m/s embeds itself in a block of mass 3 kg that is sitting at re
Xelga [282]

Answer:

(a) the speed of the block after the bullet embeds itself in the block is 3.226 m/s

(b) the kinetic energy of the bullet plus the block before the collision is 500J

(c) the kinetic energy of the bullet plus the block after the collision is 16.13J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of bullet, m₁ = 0.1 kg

initial speed of bullet, u₁ = 100 m/s

mass of block, m₂ = 3 kg

initial speed of block, u₂ = 0

Part (A)

Applying the principle of conservation linear momentum, for inelastic collision;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

v is the speed of the block after the bullet embeds itself in the block

(0.1 x 100) + (3 x 0) = v (0.1 + 3)

10 = 3.1v

v = 10/3.1

v = 3.226 m/s

Part (B)

Initial Kinetic energy

Ki = ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²

Ki =  ¹/₂(0.1 x 100²) +  ¹/₂(3 x 0²)

Ki = 500 + 0

Ki = 500 J

Part (C)

Final kinetic energy

Kf = ¹/₂m₁v² + ¹/₂m₂v²

Kf = ¹/₂v²(m₁ + m₂)

Kf = ¹/₂ x 3.226²(0.1 + 3)

Kf = ¹/₂ x 3.226²(3.1)

Kf = 16.13 J

A man is doing push-ups. he has a mass of 68 kg and his center of gravity is located at a horizontal distance of 0.70 m from his
lidiya [134]
Mass m = 68 kg
center of gravity from his palms x = 0.7 m
center of gravity from his feet x ' = 1 m
forces exerted by the floor on his palms and feet are F and F ' respectively.

with respect to palms :---------------------

( F*0 ) - (W * x ) + [ F ' * (x+x') ] = 0

             -mg*0.7 + F ' * 1.7 = 0    where W = weight = mg

F ' * 1.7 = mg * 0.7

          F ' = mg * 0.7 / 1.7

               = 68 *9.8 * ( 0.7 / 1.7 )

               = 274.4 N

with respect to feet :--------------------

( F ' * 0 ) -( W* x ' ) + [F * ( x + x') ] = 0

                -mg*1 + [ F * 1.7 ]= 0

                                 F = mg / 1.7

                                    = 392 N
