Answer:

KE : TE = 3 : 4

Explanation:

As we know that the total mechanical energy of the object which is executing SHM is given by

E_{total} = \frac{1}{2}KA^2

here we know that

A = amplitude of SHM

K = spring constant

now we know that total mechanical energy of the spring is always constant so here we can say

kinetic energy + Potential energy = total mechanical energy

we know that potential energy of the spring at any given distance is

U = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

at given position x = A/2

U = \frac{1}{2}K(\frac{A}{2})^2 = \frac{1}{8}KA^2

now we have

KE + \frac{1}{8}KA^2 = \frac{1}{2}KA^2

KE = \frac{3}{8}KA^2

now ratio of kinetic energy and total mechanical energy will be given as

KE : TE = \frac{3}{8}KA^2 : \frac{1}{2}KA^2

KE : TE = 3 : 4

Total energy is a spring:
E = \frac{1}{2} kx^2 +  \frac{1}{2} mv^2 =  \frac{1}{2} ka^2

At x = 0.5a:
\frac{1}{2} k \frac{a}{2} ^2 +  \frac{1}{2} mv^2 =  \frac{1}{2} ka^2 \\  \frac{1}{2} mv^2 =  \frac{1}{2} ka^2 -  \frac{1}{8} ka^2 =  \frac{3}{8} ka^2

The ration:
\frac{ \frac{3}{8}ka^2 }{ \frac{1}{2} ka^2} =  \frac{3}{4}

A 1232 kg car moving north at 25.6 m/s collides with a 2028 kg car moving north at 17.5 m/s . They stick together. In what direc
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

I. Angle = 41.7° Northeast.

II. Vr = 7.08m/s

Explanation:

Let the two cars be denoted by A and B

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass of car A = 1232 Kg

Velocity of car A = 25.6 m/s

Mass of car B = 2028 Kg

Velocity of car B = 17.5m/s

First of all, we would solve for momentum;

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum, M1 = 1232 × 25.6

Momentum, M1 = 31539.2 Kgm/s

Momentum, M2 = 2028 × 17.5

Momentum, M2 = 35490 Kgm/s

Now, let's find the resultant momentum using the Pythagoras theorem;

R² = M1² + M2²

R² = 31539.2² + 35490²

R² = 994721136.6 + 1259540100

R² = 2254261237

Taking the square root of both sides, we have

Resultant momentum, R = 47479.06 Kgm/s

To find the direction;

Angle = tan¯¹(M1/M2)

Angle = tan¯¹(31539.2/35490)

Angle = tan¯¹(0.89)

<em>Angle = 41.7° Northeast.</em>

To find the speed;

R = (M1 + M2)Vr

47479.06 = (31539.2 + 35490)Vr

47479.06 = 67029.2Vr

Vr = 47479.06/67029.2

<em>Vr = 7.08m/s</em>

How should the magnetic field lines be drawn for the magnets shown below?
sergeinik [125]

 Option B is the correct answer that show how magnetic field lines should be drawn for the magnets shown in the figure.

<h3>What is Magnetic Line of Force ?</h3>

The Magnetic Line of Force of a magnet is defined as the line along which a free N - pole would tend to move if placed in the field of a line such that the tangent to it at any point gives the direction of the field at that point.

When the two unlike poles are placed to each other, there will be attraction. And when the two like poles are placed to each other, there will be repulsion. The reason is that the line of force tend to move from the north pole to the south pole.

From the given diagram, the two magnets are of the same south pole. They are of like pole and there will be repulsion between the two magnets.

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer that show how magnetic field lines should be drawn for the magnets shown in the figure.

How does diffraction enable somebody to hear your voice from anywhere in the room?
Vilka [71]
Diffraction means spreading out of waves that has the same wavelength as the size of the gap. Sound waves have high wavelength and so it diffracts\spreads out and enables anyone to hear your voice from anywhere outside the room.

For inside the room, the sound waves doesn't actually diffract. They collide with the air particles, causing a series of compressions and rarefactions which spreads out in the air particles and anyone can hear your voice.

Air is the medium for the sound waves to travel.
