Two particles collide, one of which was initially moving and the other initially at rest. Is it possible for both particles to b

e at rest after the collision?

solmaris [256]3 years ago

Answer:

Not possible

Explanation:

Unless there's some extra external force to keep both particles at rest after the collision, the momentum must be conserved before and after the collision.

So before the collision, 1 particle is at rest, 1 not ->  total momentum is non-zero

After the collision, both particles are at rest -> total momentum is zero which is different from before.

Therefore this is not possible.

What is the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun?
expeople1 [14]

Answer: 3.524(10)^{22}N

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the force F exerted between two bodies of masses m1 and m2  and separated by a distance r  is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:

F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{r^2}   (1)

Where:

G is the Gravitational Constant and its value is 6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}  

m1=1.99(10)^{30}kg is the mass of the Sun

m2=5.972(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the Earth

r=1.50(10)^{11}m  is the distance between the Sun and the Earth

Substituting the values in (1):

F=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}\frac{(1.99(10)^{30}kg)(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}{(1.50(10)^{11}m)^2}   (2)

Finally:

F=3.524(10)^{22}N   This is the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun

Consider the standing wave pattern below created by a string fixed at both ends. The string is under a tension of 0.98 N and has
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

11.07Hz

Explanation:

Check the attachment for diagram of the standing wave in question.

Formula for calculating the fundamental frequency Fo in strings  is V/2L where;

V is the velocity of the wave in string

L is the length of the string which is expressed as a function of its wavelength.

The wavelength of the string given is 1.5λ(one loop is equivalent to 0.5 wavelength)

Therefore L = 1.5λ

If L = 3.0m

1.5λ = 3.0m

λ = 3/1.5

λ = 2m

Also;

V = √T/m where;

T is the tension = 0.98N

m is the mass per unit length = 2.0g = 0.002kg

V = √0.98/0.002

V = √490

V = 22.14m/s

Fo = V/2L (for string)

Fo = 22.14/2(3)

Fo = 22.14/6

Fo = 3.69Hz

Harmonics are multiple integrals of the fundamental frequency. The string in question resonates in 2nd harmonics F2 = 3Fo

Frequency of the wave = 3×3.69

Frequency of the wave = 11.07Hz
