When a moving car hits a parked car, causing the parked car to move, the type of collision is elastic collision. An elastic collision is when two bodies collide and separates after collision conserving the total kinetic energy before and after collision.

The variation in the pressure of helium gas, measured from its equilibrium value, is given by ΔP = 2.9 × 10−5 cos (6.20x − 3 000

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The wavelength of this wave is 1.01 meters.

Explanation:

The variation in the pressure of helium gas, measured from its equilibrium value, is given by :

$\Delta P=2.9\times 10^{-5}\ cos(6.2x-3000t)$ ..............(1)

The general equation is given by :

$\Delat P=P_o\ cos(kx-\omega t)$ ...........(2)

On comparing equation (1) and (2) :

$k=6.2$

Since, $k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

$\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}=6.2$

$\lambda=1.01\ m$

So, the wavelength of this wave is 1.01 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

6. A child tugs on a rope attached to a 0.62-kg toy with a horizontal force

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force Mass * acceleration

F = ma

a = F/m

Sum of force = 16.3N - 15.8N = 0.5N

Mass = 0.62kg

Substitute

a = 0.5/ * 0.62

a = 0.81m/s²

The acceleration of the toy is 0.81m/s²

When you strike two tuning forks simultaneously, you hear three beats per second. The frequency of the first tuning fork is 440

tekilochka [14]

Answer:4

Explanation:

Given

Frequency of beats is 3 beats per second

Frequency of first tuning fork is $f_1=440\ Hz$

Beat frequency is difference in the frequency of tuning forks i.e.

either $f_1-f_2$ or $f_2-f_1 =3$

so $f_2=3+440=443\ Hz$

or

$f_2=440-3=437\ Hz$

so there is not enough information given to decide.

A wave has a wavelength of 9 mm and a frequency of 14 hertz. What is its speed?

lesantik [10]

Wavespeed = frequency x wavelength
= 14 x 9
= 126 mm/s
= 0.126 m/s
