Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)

= (4 m) x (2 /sec)

= 8 m/sec

A radioactive isotope of the element potassium decays to produce argon. If the ratio of argon to potassium is found to be 31:1,

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Argon to potassium ratio after 1 half life = 1:1

After 2 half lives = 75/25= 3:1

After 3 half lives = 87.5/12.5= 7:1

After 4 half lives = 93.75/6.25 = 15:1

After 5 half lives = 96.875/3.125 = 31/1

g A 1.45-kg block is pushed against a vertical wall by means of a spring (k = 860 N/m). The coefficient of static friction betwe

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The minimum compression is $x= 0.046m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the block is $m_b = 1.45 kg$

The spring constant is $k = 860 N/m$

The coefficient of static friction is $\mu = 0.36$

For the the block not slip it mean the sum of forces acting on the horizontal axis is equal to the forces acting on the vertical axis

Now the force acting on the vertical axis is the force due to gravity which is mathematically given as

$F_y = m_b*g$

And the force acting on the horizontal axis is force due to the spring which is mathematically represented as

$F_x = k *x * \mu$

where x is the minimum compression to keep the block from slipping

Now equating this two formulas and making x the subject

$x = \frac{m_b * g}{k * \mu}$

substituting values we have

$x = \frac{1.45 * 9.8}{860 *0.36}$

$x= 0.046m$

A(n) 10.1 g bullet is fired into a(n) 2.41 kg ballistic pendulum and becomes embedded in it. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8

fomenos

Answer:

$v = 186.90\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The motion of ballistic pendulum is modelled by the appropriate use of the Principle of Energy Conservation:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{p}+m_{b})\cdot v^{2} = (m_{p}+m_{b})\cdot g \cdot h$

The final velocity of the system formed by the ballistic pendulum and the bullet is:

$v = \sqrt{2\cdot g\cdot h}$

$v = \sqrt{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (0.031\,m)}$

$v\approx 0.78\,\frac{m}{s}$

Initial velocity of the bullet can be calculated from the expression derived of the Principle of Momentum:

$(0.0101\,kg)\cdot v = (2.41\,kg + 0.0101\,kg)\cdot (0.78\,\frac{m}{s} )$

$v = 186.90\,\frac{m}{s}$
