If two things collide, where does the lost energy go? Is it transferred into other forms?

Physics

Answer:

A perfectly inelastic collision is one in which two objects colliding stick together, becoming a single object. In an inelastic collision, energy is lost to the environment, transferred into other forms such as heat. In the above figure, two objects A and B with the same mass m are 15 m away from each other.

The notes produced by a tuba range in frequency from approximately 45 Hz to 375 Hz. Find the possible range of wavelengths in ai
taurus [48]

Answer:

The possible range of wavelengths in air produced by the instrument is 7.62 m and 0.914 m respectively.

Explanation:

Given that,

The notes produced by a tuba range in frequency from approximately 45 Hz to 375 Hz.

The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.

To find,

The wavelength range for the corresponding frequency.

Solution,

The speed of sound is given by the following relation as :

v=f_1\lambda_1

Wavelength for f = 45 Hz is,

\lambda_1=\dfrac{v}{f_1}

\lambda_1=\dfrac{343}{45}=7.62\ m

Wavelength for f = 375 Hz is,

\lambda_2=\dfrac{v}{f_2}

\lambda_2=\dfrac{343}{375}=0.914\ m/s

So, the possible range of wavelengths in air produced by the instrument is 7.62 m and 0.914 m respectively.

What is the total resistance of a 6 ohm and a 8 ohm resistor connected in series?<br> (1 Point)
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Total Resistance in circuit is Fourteen Ohms <u>(14 Ω).</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

How do we know, if the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance is the <u>sum of all the resistors.</u>

(Important: The total resistance can only be added just when the resistors are <u>connected in series</u>)

Then, total resistance (<em>TR </em>) is the sum of all resistors (<em>T1 + T2</em>, in this case)

TR = T1 + T2

According to problem data, we have:

TR = 8 Ω + 6 Ω

TR = 14 Ω

When does sea breeze occur
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>Sea breeze can happen during hot summer days because of the uneven  heating rates of water and land. The land surface heats up faster than the surface of the water during the day.  At this rate, the air above the land grows warmer than the air atop the ocean. Warmer air is always lighter than cooler air. As a consequence, warm air is pushed upward causing it to rise. With this, warmer air rises over the land. As warm air rises over the land, cooler air over the ocean flows over the land surface to change or replace the rising warm air.</span>

I need help with question 8 .
Vesnalui [34]

The bike is maintaining "constant velocity".  He's moving at 15 m/s when we see him for the first time, 15 m/s later that day, and 15 m/s next week.

The car starts from zero, and goes 4.0 m/s FASTER each second. After one second, it's going 4.0 m/s. After 2 seconds, it's going 8 m/s. And after 3 seconds, it's going 12 m/s.  

This is the point at which the question wants us to compare them ... 3 seconds.  The bike is moving at 15 m/s and the car has sped up to 12 m/s. <em>The bike is moving faster than the car.</em>

If we hung around and kept watching for another second, the car would then be moving at 16 m/s, and would be moving faster than the bike.  But we lost interest after answering the question, and we left at 3 seconds.

A block is given a very brief push up a 20.0 degree frictionless incline to give it an initial speed of 12.0 m/s.(a) How far alo
Orlov [11]

Explanation:

(a)   Net force acting on the block is as follows.

           F_{net} = -mg Sin (\theta)

or,           ma = -mg Sin (\theta)[/tex]

                 a = -g Sin (\theta)

                    = -9.8 \times Sin (20^{o})

                    = -3.35 m/s^{2}

According to the kinematic equation of motion,

             v^{2} - v^{2}_{o} = 2as

Distance traveled by the block before stopping is as follows.

     s = \frac{v^{2} - v^{2}_{o}}{2a}

        = \frac{(0)^{2} - (12.0)^{2}_{o}}{2 \times -3.35}

        = 21.5 m

According to the kinematic equation of motion,

               v = v_{o} + at

      0 = 12.0 m/s + \frac{1}{2} \times -3.35 m/s^{2} \times t

   t_{1} = 7.16 sec

Therefore, before coming to rest the surface of the plane will slide the box till 7.16 sec.

(b)    When the block is moving down the inline then net force acting on the block is as follows.

                 F_{net} = -mg Sin (\theta)

                ma = mg Sin (\theta)

                    a = g Sin (\theta)

                       = 9.8 m/s^{2} \times Sin (20^{o})

                       = 3.35 m/s^{2}

Kinematics equation of the motion is as follows.

                   s = v_{o}t + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

      21.5 m = 0 + \frac{1}{2} \times 3.35 m/s^{2} \times t^{2}

     t_{2} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 21.5 m}{3.35 m/s^{2}}}

             = 3.58 sec

Hence, total time taken by the block to return to its starting position is as follows.

               t = t_{1} + t_{2}

                 = 7.16 sec + 3.58 sec

                 = 10.7 sec

Thus, we can conclude that 10.7 sec time it take to return to its starting position.
