a 0.25 kg arrow is moving at 5 m/s and hits a 0.10 kg apple. The apple sticks to the arrow, and both move to the right together.

What is their velocity?

Answer:

The arrow-apple combo will move with a velocity 3.6 m/s to the right.

Explanation:

Use the law of conservation of momentum to solve this problem. In this case the law can be written as follows:

m_{arrow}v_{arrow}+m_{apple}\cdot 0= (m_{arrow}+m_{apple})v_{both}

from which the desired velocity can be isolated:

\frac{m_{arrow}v_{arrow}}{m_{arrow}+m_{apple}}= v_{both}\\v_{both} = \frac{0.25kg\cdot 5\frac{m}{s}}{0.35kg}=3.6\frac{m}{s}

The arrow-apple combo will move with a velocity 3.6 m/s to the right.

The longest pipe on a certain organ is 5.34 m. (a) what is the frequency f3 (at 0.00°c) if the pipe is closed at one end?
-Dominant- [34]
For a pipe open at both ends, fund frequency (Fo) given byFo = v /2L 

v = velocity of sound = 340 m/s (at about 20ºC) 

Fo = 340/2*5.34 = 31.8 Hz 


While for the one closed at one end and open at the other end...

For a pipe open at one end, fund frequency (Fo) given byFo = v/4L 

Fo = 340/4*5.34= 15.9 Hz

Which is colder, 0 celsius or 20 fahrenheit
kari74 [83]
Since 0 C and 32 F are temperatures when water freezes, anything lower then that would be colder and since 20 F is less than 32 F, 
20 F is colder than 0C

How can gravitational tugs from orbiting planets affect the motion of a star?.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Gravitational tugs from orbiting planets don't affect the motion of a star. The star, being much larger than the planet, has a much smaller orbit. But it does move slightly. Explain how alien astronomers could deduce the existence of planets in our solar system by observing the Sun's motion.

A cannon placed on a wall 64 feet above the ground fires a cannon ball level in the horiznotal direction with horizontal velocit
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

160 ft

Explanation:

As the canon ball was shot horizontally, its initial vertical velocity is 0. The ball vertical motion is generated by the gravitational acceleration g = 32m/s2. We can calculate the time it takes for it to drop 64 ft

s_v = gt^2/2

t^2 = 2s/g = 2*64/32 = 4

t = \sqrt{4} = 2s

This is also the time it takes to travel horizontally at a constant rate of 80 ft/s if we ignore air resistance.

s_h = vt = 80 * 2 = 160 ft

So the ball would land 160ft away from the wall on the ground
