Inertia is proportional to mass. It is a measure of the resistance to changes in velocity. Inertia is a property of mass and cannot change. Momentum changes as an object changes its velocity. Good luck on your assignment and have a great day! :D

Calculate the potential energy of a 4 kg cat crouched 3 meters off the ground

Tom [10]

Gravitational potential energy = mass × gravity × height

Ep = (4)(9.81)(3)

Energy = 117.72 Joules

= 1.2x10^2 Joules

A man strikes one end of a thin rod with a hammer. The speed of sound in the rod is 15 times the speed of sound in air. A woman,

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

44.1 m

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

$V_a$ = speed of sound in air = 343 m/s
$V_r$ = speed of sound in the rod = $15V_a$
$\Delta t$ = times interval between the hearing the sound twice = 0.12 s

<u>Assumptions:</u>

$l$ = length of the rod
$t$ = time taken by the sound to travel through the rod
$T$ = time taken by the sound to travel to through air to the same point = $t+\Delta t = t+0.12\ s$

We know that the distance traveled by the sound in a particular medium is equal to the product of the speed of sound in that medium and the time taken.

For traveling sound through the rod, we have

$l=V_r t\\\Rightarrow t = \dfrac{l}{V_r}$ ..........eqn(1)

For traveling sound through the air to the women ear for traveling the same distance, we have

$l=V_aT\\\Rightarrow l=V_a(t+0.12)\\\Rightarrow l=V_a(\dfrac{l}{V_r}+0.12)\,\,\,\,\,\,(\textrm{From eqn (1)})\\\Rightarrow l=V_a(\dfrac{l}{15V_a}+0.12)\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{l}{15}+0.12V_a\\\Rightarrow l-\dfrac{l}{15}=0.12V_a\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{14l}{15}=0.12V_a\\\Rightarrow l = \dfrac{15}{14}\times 0.12V_a\\\Rightarrow l = \dfrac{15}{14}\times 0.12\times 343\\\Rightarrow l = \dfrac{15}{14}\times 0.12\times 343\\\Rightarrow l = 44.1\ m$

Hence, the length of the rod is 44.1 m.
