A column of soldiers, marching at 121 steps per minute, keep in step with the beat of a drummer at the head of the column. It is

observed that the soldiers in the rear end of the column are striding forward with the left foot when the drummer is advancing with the right. What is the approximate length of the column? (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)

There’s a first “clump”/drum beat every half second. That clump will travel about 170m in half a second. Someone 170m away would do their “clump” as the second “clump” was taking place. I think. <span> </span>

Answer:

1)t=2.26\: s

2)S=33.9\: m

3)v=26.77\: m/s

4)\alpha=55.92

Explanation:

1)

We can use the following equation:

y_{f}=y_{0}+v_{iy}t-0.5*g*t^{2}

Here, the initial velocity in the y-direction is zero, the final y position is zero and the initial y position is 25 m.

0=25-0.5*9.81*t^{2}

t=2.26\: s

2)

The equation of the motion in the x-direction is:

v_{ix}=\frac{S}{t}

15=\frac{S}{2.26}

S=33.9\: m

3)

The velocity in the y-direction of the stone will be:

v_{fy}=v_{iy}-gt

v_{fy}=0-(9.81*2.26)

v_{fy}=-22.17\: m/s

Now, the velocity in the x-direction is 15 m/s then the velocity will be:

v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{fy}^{2}}=\sqrt{15^{2}+(-22.17)^{2}}

v=26.77\: m/s

4)

The angle of this velocity is:

tan(\alpha)=\frac{22.17}{15}

\alpha=tan^{-1}(\frac{22.17}{15})

\alpha=55.92

Then α=55.92° negative from the x-direction.

I hope it helps you!

A 10-kg package drops from chute into a 25-kg cart with a velocity of 3 m/s. The cart is initially at rest and can roll freely w
amid [387]

Answer:

(a) the final velocity of the cart is 0.857 m/s

(b) the impulse experienced by the package is 21.43 kg.m/s

(c) the fraction of the initial energy lost is 0.71

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the package, m₁ = 10 kg

mass of the cart, m₂ = 25 kg

initial velocity of the package, u₁ = 3 m/s

initial velocity of the cart, u₂ = 0

let the final velocity of the cart = v

(a) Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine common final velocity for ineleastic collision;

m₁u₁  + m₂u₂ = v(m₁  +  m₂)

10 x 3   + 25 x 0   = v(10  +  25)

30  = 35v

v = 30 / 35

v = 0.857 m/s

(b) the impulse experienced by the package;

The impulse = change in momentum of the package

J = ΔP = m₁v - m₁u₁

J = m₁(v - u₁)

J = 10(0.857 - 3)

J = -21.43 kg.m/s

the magnitude of the impulse experienced by the package = 21.43 kg.m/s

(c)

the initial kinetic energy of the package is calculated as;

K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} mu_1^2\\\\K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times (3)^2\\\\K.E_i = 45 \ J\\\\

the final kinetic energy of the package;

K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} (m_1 + m_2)v^2\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} \times (10 + 25) \times 0.857^2\\\\K.E_f = 12.85 \ J

the fraction of the initial energy lost;

= \frac{\Delta K.E}{K.E_i} = \frac{45 -12.85}{45} = 0.71

Do any of the galaxies appear to be closer to each other as your universe expands? What does this say about the possibility of g
Luda [366]

Explanation:

In local galactic group the force of expansion of universe is overcome by the force of attraction due  to gravity. Best example is our own galaxy milky way and another giant galaxy in our local group Andromeda. Andromeda having enormous gravity is pulling milky way towards itself, overcoming the force of expansion.

So, there  are possibilities of collision despite the expansion of universe at a rapid pace. It is estimated that the milky way and Andromeda will collide each other after about 50 billion years from now.

Instead of rolling down the ramp over the step, imagine the ball falls off the back of the ramp directly to the ground. What is
lesya692 [45]

0J

According to the law of conservation of energy, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Remember, potential energy is calculated using height and weight. If the ball is on the ground, height is 0.
