Answer:

b

Explanation:

The space shuttle, in circular orbit around the Earth, collides with a small asteroid which ends up in the shuttle's storage bay.

This form of collision is called inelastic collision. And inelastic collision momentum is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved. Hence the correct option is b. only momentum is conserved.

Two identical strings, of identical lengths of 2.00 m and linear mass density of μ=0.0065kg/m, are fixed on both ends. String A
kolezko [41]

Answer:

beat frequency = 13.87 Hz

Explanation:

given data

lengths l = 2.00 m

linear mass density μ = 0.0065 kg/m

String A is under a tension T1 = 120.00 N

String B is under a tension T2 = 130.00 N

n = 10 mode

to find out

beat frequency

solution

we know here that length L is

L = n × \frac{ \lambda }{2}      ........1

so  λ = \frac{2L}{10}  

and velocity is express as

V = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu } }    .................2

so

frequency for string A = f1 = \frac{V1}{\lambda}

f1 = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu } }}{\frac{2L}{10}}

f1 = \frac{10}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T1}{\mu } }      

and

f2 = \frac{10}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T2}{\mu } }

so

beat frequency is = f2 - f1

put here value

beat frequency = \frac{10}{2*2} \sqrt{\frac{130}{0.0065}}  - \frac{10}{2*2} \sqrt{\frac{120}{0.0065} }

beat frequency = 13.87 Hz

A ball is thrown vertically upward, which is the positive direction. a little later it returns to its point of release. the ball
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

This motion of all can be divided in to two, first the upward motion and second downward motion.

In case of projectiles time taken for upward motion = time taken for downward motion.

So we have time taken for upward motion = 8.14/2 = 4.07 seconds

We have equation of motion, v = u+at, where v is the final velocity , u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

In case of upward motion

    v = 0 m/s

    t = 4.07 seconds

    a = -9.8 m/s^2

  Substituting

       0 = u - 9.8*4.07\\ \\ u = 39.886 m/s

So initial velocity of ball = 39.886 m/s.

A glass plate (n = 1.64) is covered with a thin, uniform layer of oil (n = 1.27). A light beam of variable wavelength from air i
Rudiy27

Answer:

152.7 nm

Explanation:

Refractive index of glass plate = n = 1.64

Refractive index of oil = n' = 1.27

wavelength = λ = 501 nm = 501 e-9 m

2n t = m  λ , since it undergoes constructive interference.

Thickness = t =  501 × 10⁻⁹ m / 2 (1.64)

                      = 152.7 nm
