Using the law of conservation of momentum
m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2
Where m1 is mass of first object
m2 is mass of second object
u1 and u2 are initial velocities of object 1 and 2 respectively
v1 and v2 are final velocities of object 1 and 2 respectively
Here, they are moving as a system after collision. Thus they will posses same final velocity
m1u1 +m2u2=v(m1+m2)
Substituting values
600*4+0=v(600+400)
2400=v*1000
v=2.4 m/s

Now momentum of system
p=Mv
p=(600+400)*2.4
p=1000*2.4
Therefore p=2400 kg m/s
Hope this helps :)

The period of a carrier wave is T=0.01 seconds. Determine the frequency and wavelength of the carrier wave. a. f=10 Hz, λ=3E8 me

makvit [3.9K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The period of the carrier wave, T = 0.01 s

Let f and $\lambda$ are frequency and the wavelength of the wave respectively. The relationship between the time period and the frequency is given by :

$f=\dfrac{1}{T}$

$f=\dfrac{1}{0.01}$

f = 100 Hz

The wavelength of a wave is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{100}$

$\lambda=3\times 10^6\ m$

So, the frequency and wavelength of the carrier wave are 100 Hz and $3\times 10^6\ m$ respectively. Hence, the correct option is (c).

3 light-years =________.

KATRIN_1 [288]

   ( 3 yr) · (186,282.397 mile/s) · (86,400 s/day) · (365 day/yr)

   = (3 · 186,282.397 · 86,400 · 365) mile

   = 1.762380502 x 10¹³ miles

   = 1.8 x 10¹³ miles (rounded to the nearest trillion miles)

A jogger hears a car alarm and decides to investigate. While running toward the car, she hears an alarm frequency of 872.10 Hz.

Nata [24]

Answer:

v = 4.18 m/s

Explanation:

given,

frequency of the alarm = 872.10 Hz

after passing car frequency she hear = 851.10 Hz

Speed of sound = 343 m/s

speed of the jogger = ?

speed of the

$v_f = \dfrac{872.10-851.10}{2}$

$v_f =10.5\ Hz$

v_o = 872.1 - 10.5

$V_0 = 861.6\ Hz$

The speed of jogger

$v = \dfrac{v_1 \times 343}{v_0}-343$

$v = \dfrac{872.1 \times 343}{861.6}-343$

v = 4.18 m/s

A police car with its 300-Hz siren is moving toward a warehouse at 30 m/s, intending to crash through the door. The sound bounce

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: The frequency heard will be f = 275.675Hz

Explanation: When an object emitting sound is moving, it occurs a phenomenon called Doppler shift or Doppler effect. What happens is that the sound gets higher when the moving object comes closer the observer and becomes lower after it passes, This change is due to the quantity of waves that passes through an area in an unit of time.

The formula to calculate the Doppler effect is as follows

f = ( $\frac{c}{c+Vs}$ ) · f₀

f is the observed frequency;

c is the speed of sound;

Vs is velocity of the source;

f₀ is the emitted frequency of source;

Substituting and calculating,

f = $\frac{340}{340+30}$ · 300

f = 275.675 Hz

Thus, the frequency heard by the police officer is 275.675Hz.

Why is everything spinning? Moons, planets and stars all rotate on their axes, moons orbit planets, planets orbit stars, spiral

kow [346]

Answer:

Conservation of angular momentum

Explanation:

When the objects spread in universe after big bang, because of the tremendous force , they gained angular momentum and started to rotate. Since, then the object continue to rotate on their axis because of conservation of angular momentum. In vacuum of space there no other forces that can stop these rotation, therefore, they continue to rotate.
