A bumper has a non negligible mass. After a collision with an ideal spring, the spring is compressed to a distance of 90% of the

value of its distance when the bumper's mass was negligible. Give a reasonable explanation for this decrease.

How does a blue object look under all colors of light

OverLord2011 [107]

The "blue" object would look the same. Say that this blue object is a square. That "square" is every color but blue. The only reason that you see it as "blue" is because what we call "blue", it the only color of light that bounces back at our eyes. Under all colors of light, especially simultaneously. This square or any shape for that matter would absorb the other colors of light, but the blue will be rejected. Therefore, we can only see what bounces back at our eyes, which is the color blue in this case.

Hope this helps, WyattMarine501

Describe how the forces of gravity and friction affect the motion that occurs as you write on this page.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Friction is a force that slows down the motion of a moving object. ... Eventually, friction and gravity will work together to stop the motion of the slide. Gravity is a force that pulls two objects toward each other because of their mass. Mass is the measurement of the amount of material (matter) that makes up an object.

A 0.50 kg toy is attached to the end of a 1.0 m very light string. The toy is whirled in a horizontal circular path on a frictio

xenn [34]

Answer:

The maximum speed will be 26.475 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the toy m = 0.50 kg

radius of the light string r = 1 m

Tension on the string T = 350 N

We have to find the maximum speed without breaking the string

For without breaking the string tension must be equal to the centripetal force

So $T=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

So $350=\frac{0.5\times v^2}{1}$

$v^2=700$

v = 26.475 m /sec

So the maximum speed will be 26.475 m/sec

Two identical loudspeakers 2.00 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi

ki77a [65]

Answer:

The lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible is 1307.69 Hz

Explanation:

From the question, Abby is standing 5.00m in front of one of the speakers, perpendicular to the line joining the speakers.

First, we will determine his distance from the second speaker using the Pythagorean theorem

l₂ = √(2.00²+5.00²)

l₂ = √4+25

l₂ = √29

l₂ = 5.39 m

Hence, the path difference is

ΔL = l₂ - l₁

ΔL = 5.39 m - 5.00 m

ΔL = 0.39 m

From the formula for destructive interference

ΔL = (n+1/2)λ

where n is any integer and λ is the wavelength

n = 1 in this case, the lowest possible frequency corresponds to the largest wavelength, which corresponds to the smallest value of n.

Then,

0.39 = (1+ 1/2)λ

0.39 = (3/2)λ

0.39 = 1.5λ

∴ λ = 0.39/1.5

λ = 0.26 m

From

v = fλ

f = v/λ

f = 340 / 0.26

f = 1307.69 Hz

Hence, the lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible is 1307.69 Hz.
