A small ball of mass 2.00 kilograms is moving at a velocity 1.50 meters/second. It hits a larger, stationary ball of mass 5.00 k

The kinetic energy of the small ball before the collision is

                             KE  =  (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                                     = (1/2) (2 kg) (1.5 m/s)

                                     =    (1 kg)  (2.25 m²/s²)

                                     =        2.25 joules.

Now is a good time to review the Law of Conservation of Energy:

                     Energy is never created or destroyed. 
                     If it seems that some energy disappeared,
                     it actually had to go somewhere.
                     And if it seems like some energy magically appeared,
                     it actually had to come from somewhere.

The small ball has 2.25 joules of kinetic energy before the collision.
If the small ball doesn't have a jet engine on it or a hamster inside,
and does not stop briefly to eat spinach, then there won't be any
more kinetic energy than that after the collision.  The large ball
and the small ball will just have to share the same 2.25 joules.

Help with the two questions above? Correct answers?
LenKa [72]

(6) first choice: the frequency appears higher and wavelength is shorter.

The car approaches a stationary observer and so the sound will appear to have shorter wavelength. This creates an effect of its siren to sound with higher frequency than it would do if both were stationary.

(7) The Doppler formula for frequency in the case of a stationary observer and source approaching it is as follows:

f_O = \frac{v}{v-v_s}\cdot f= \frac{343\frac{m}{s}}{(343-25)\frac{m}{s}}\cdot 400Hz \approx 431Hz

The wavelength is then

\lambda = \frac{343\frac{m}{s}}{431Hz}\approx 0.80 m

The third choice "0.80m; 431Hz" is correct

A 0.38 kg drinking glass is filled with a hot liquid. The liquid transfers 7032 J of energy to the glass. If the
kaheart [24]

Answer:

841  J/kg.K

Explanation:

The computation of the specific hear of the glass is shown below:

As we know that

E= cmΔt

where

c denotes specific heat

m denotes 0.38 kg

Δt = temperature = 22k

E denotes energy = 7032 J

Now

7032 J = (0.38) (22) (c)

7032 J = 8.36 (c)

So C = 7032 J ÷ 8.36

= 841  J/kg.K
