A dragster runs the quarter mile in 8.96 s. What is the car's velocity (in ft/s) at the finish line?

The first thing you should know to answer this question is the following conversion:
 1mi = 5280feet
 We have then that the speed is:
 v = ((1/4) * (5280)) / (8.96)
 v = 147.32 feet / s
 Answer:
 the car's velocity (in ft / s) at the finish line is 147.32 feet / s

n explosion breaks an object initially at rest into two pieces, one of which has 2.0 times the mass of the other. If 8400 J of k
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The heavier piece acquired 2800 J  kinetic energy

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum:

0 = M₁v₁ - M₂v₂

M₁v₁ = M₂v₂

let the second piece be the heavier mass, then

M₁v₁ = (2M₁)v₂

v₁  = 2v₂ and v₂ = ¹/₂ v₁

From the principle of conservation of kinetic energy:

¹/₂ K.E₁ + ¹/₂ K.E₂ = 8400 J

¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₂ (2M₁)(¹/₂v₁)² = 8400

¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₄M₁(v₁)² = 8400

K.E₁ + ¹/₂K.E₁ = 8400

Now, we determine K.E₁ and note that K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁

1.5 K.E₁ = 8400

K.E₁ = 8400/1.5

K.E₁ = 5600 J

K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁ = 0.5*5600 J = 2800 J

Therefore, the heavier piece acquired 2800 J  kinetic energy

A piece of wood has a volume of 4.6 cm to the power of 3, and a mass of 3.7 g what is the density of the wood
AysviL [449]

Density is given by:

D = M/V

D = density, M = mass, V = volume

Given values:

M = 3.7g, V = 4.6cm³

Plug in and solve for D:

D = 3.7/4.6

D = 0.80g/cm³

When atoms of an element are excited, they emit specific wavelengths of light. How is this similar to a fingerprint when Fraunho
Anika [276]

Answer:

As you may know, each element has a "fixed" number of protons and electrons.

These electrons live in elliptical orbits around the nucleus, called valence levels or energy levels.

We know that as further away are the orbits from the nucleus, the more energy has the electrons in it. (And those energies are fixed)

Now, when an electron jumps from a level to another, there is also a jump in energy, and that jump depends only on the levels, then the jump in energy is fixed.

Particularly, when an electron jumps from a more energetic level to a less energetic one, that change in energy must be compensated in some way, and that way is by radiating a photon whose energy is exactly the same as the energy of the jump.

And the energy of a photon is related to the wavelength of the photon, then we can conclude that for a given element, the possible jumps of energy levels are known, meaning that the possible "jumps in energy" are known, which means that the wavelengths of the radiated photons also are known. Then by looking at the colors of the bands (whose depend on the wavelength of the radiated photons) we can know almost exactly what elements are radiating them.

A laser is shone through a double slit and a particular interference pattern is observed on a screen some distance away. If the
Grace [21]

If the separation between the openings in a laser is increased, then the distance between the interference fringes decreases

<h3>What is Interference fringe ?</h3>

Interference fringe refers to bands caused by different lights which can be found in phase or not each other.

  • Distances between laser fringes are short which is due to light wavelength.
  • The interference fringes can be estimated by knowing slit separation and wavelength.

In conclusion, if the separation between the openings in a laser is increased, then the distance between the interference fringe decreases

A 0.095 kg tennis ball is traveling to the right at 40 m/s when it bounces of a wall and travels in the opposite direction it ca
Mashutka [201]

given that

mass of ball = 0.095 kg

initial velocity of ball towards the wall = 40 m/s

final velocity of the ball after it rebound = 30 m/s

now change in momentum is given as

\Delta P = m(v_f - v_i)

\Delta P = 0.095(30 - (-40))

\Delta P = 6.65 kg m/s

So change in momentum will be 6.65 kg m/s
