Answer:

(a) the final velocity of the combined mass is 9.43 m/s

(b) the decrease in kinetic energy during the collision is 386.1 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of arrow, m₁ = 25 kg

initial velocity of arrow, u₁ = 12 m/s

mass of target, m₂ = 6.8 kg

initial velocity of the target, u₂ = 0

Part (a)

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁+m₂)

where;

v is the final velocity of the combined mass

25 x 12 + 0 = v(25 + 6.8)

300 = v(31.8)

v = 300/31.8

v = 9.43 m/s

Part(b)

Kinetic Energy, K.E = ¹/₂mv²

Initial kinetic energy =  ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²  = ¹/₂ x 25 x (12)² + 0 = 1800 J

Final kinetic energy = ¹/₂m₁v² + ¹/₂m₂v² = ¹/₂v²(m₁ + m₂)

                                                               = ¹/₂ x (9.43)²(25+6.8)

                                                               = 1413.91 J

Decrease in kinetic energy = Initial K.E - Final K.E

Decrease in kinetic energy = 1800J - 1413.91 J = 386.1 J

maxonik [38]

Answer:

answer is 0.1428

Explanation:

Data:- vf=5.0 , vi=0.0 , t=35 , a=? so appling first eq of motion vf=vi+at we have to find a=vf-vi/t , a=5.0-0.0/35 , a=5/35 ,a=0.1428m/sec²

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a small vehicle compared to a large vehicle?
Zarrin [17]
<span>The kinetic energy is the work done by the object due to its motion. It is represented by the formula of the half the velocity squared multiply by the mass of the object. In this problem, you have two  vehicles, the other one is large and the other one is small. Let us assume that they travel with the same velocity. Note that the kinetic energy is proportional to the mass of the object. So when you increase the mass of the other, it also increases the kinetic energy of that object. The same holds true for the two vehicles. The larger the vehicle, its kinetic energy is also large and therefore its stopping distance will be longer than that of the smaller vehicle.</span>

"If you double the wavelength of a wave on a particular string", what happens to the wave speed v and the frequency f ? (i) v do
nadezda [96]

Answer:

v doubles and f is unchanged

Explanation:

According to the formula v = f¶

Where v is the velocity of the wave

f is the frequency

¶ is the wavelength

Velocity is directly proportional to wavelength. Direct proportionality shows that increase in velocity will cause an increase in the wavelength and decrease in velocity will also cause a decrease in wavelength with the frequency not changing since the velocity and wavelength are both increasing and decreasing at the same rate.

According to the question, if the wavelength is doubled, the velocity (v) will also double while the frequency (f) remains unchanged.
