0.4 N-s is the "impulse" acted on the "beach ball".

Option: C

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the "beach ball" is 0.1 kg.

The speed of the ball hits is 4 m/s.

We know that,

Whenever an object is collide with other object then an impulse is acted on object, this "impulse" causes "change in momentum".

Impulse acted on the beach ball is "mass" times "velocity".

Impulse = mass × velocity

Impulse = 0.1 × 4

Impulse = 0.4 kg m/s

Impulse = 0.4 N-s

Therefore, the "impulse" acted on the ball is 0.4 N-s.

A goose with a mass of 2.0 kg strikes a commercial airliner with a mass of 160,000 kg head-on. Before the collision, the goose w

Goryan [66]

Answer:

The change in momentum of the goose during this interaction is 33.334 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of goose, m₁ = 2.0 kg

mass of commercial airliner, m₂ = 160,000 kg

initial velocity of the bird, u₁ = 60 km/hr = 16.667 m/s

initial velocity of the airliner, u₂ = 870 km/hr = 241.667 m/s

Change in momentum is given as;

ΔP = mv - mu

where;

u is the initial velocity of the bird

v is the final velocity of the bird

Apply 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 bird and airliner after collision;

(2 x 16.667) + (160,000 x 241.667) = v (2 + 160,000)

38,666,753.334 = 160,002v

v = 38,666,753.334 / 160,002

v = 241.664 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the bird is negligible compared to final velocity of the airliner.

ΔP = mv - mu

ΔP = m(v - u)

ΔP = 2(0 - 16.667)

ΔP = -33.334 m/s

The negative sign implies a deceleration of the bird after the impact.

Therefore, the change in momentum of the goose during this interaction is 33.334 m/s

What does it mean when work is positive?

jenyasd209 [6]

Both positive work and negative work have meaning: Positive work follows when the force has a component parallel to the displacement. Positive work adds energy to a system. Negative work follows when the force has a component opposite or against the displacement.

A slingshot is used to launch a stone horizontally from the top of a 20.0 meter cliff. The stone lands 36.0 meters away.

alisha [4.7K]

A)

It is a launch oblique, therefore the initial velocity in the vertical direction is zero. Space Hourly Equation in vertical, we have:

$S=S_{o}+v_{o}t+ \frac{at^2}{2} \\ 20= \frac{10t^2}{2} \\ t=2s$

Through Definition of Velocity, comes:

$\Delta v= \frac{\Delta S}{\Delta t} \\ v_x= \frac{36}{2} \\ \boxed {v_{x}=18m/s}$

B)

Using the Velocity Hourly Equation in vertical direction, we have:

$v_{y}=v_{y_{o}}+gt \\ v_{y}=10\times2 \\ \boxed {v_{y}=20m/s}$

The angle of impact is given by:

$cos(\theta) =\frac{v_{x}}{v_{y}} \\ cos(\theta) = \frac{18}{20} \\ cos(\theta) =0.9 \\ arccos(0.9)=\theta \\ \boxed {\theta \approx 25.84}$

If you notice any mistake in my english, please let me know, because i am not native.

Since sinusoidal waves are cyclical, a particular phase difference between two waves is identical to that phase difference plus

poizon [28]

Answer:

For destructive interference phase difference is

$(2n+1)\pi$ where n∈ Whole numbers

Explanation:

For sinusoidal wave the interference affects the resultant intensity of the waves.

In the given example we have two waves interfering at a phase difference of $\frac{\pi}{4}$ would lead to a constructive interference giving maximum amplitude at at the RMS value of the amplitude in resultant.

Also the effect is same as having a phase difference of $( \frac{\pi}{4} + 2\pi)$ because after each 2π the waves repeat itself.

<em>In case of destructive interference the waves will be out of phase i.e. the amplitude vectors will be equally opposite in the direction at the same place on the same time as shown in figure.</em>

They have a phase difference of $\pi$ or which is same as $(2\pi+\pi)$

Generalizing to:

a phase difference of $(2n+1)\pi$ where n∈ {W}

{W}= set of whole numbers.
