Answer:

16 m/s north

Explanation:

According to the law of momentum conservation, total momentum before and after must be the same

Total momentum after the collision as both cars stick together as 1 unit traveling at speed of 5.48m/s to the north

(m + M)V = (1530 + 2560)*5.48 = 22413 kgm/s

So the total momentum before must also be 22413, which is made of

mv_1 + Mv_2 = 22413

1530*(-12.1) + 2560v_2 = 22413

2560v_2 = 22413 + 18513 = 40926

v_2 = 40926 / 2560 \approx 16 m/s north

3. The velocity of sound is 332 m/s. Answer the following questions:
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

20 Hz, 20000 Hz

0.0166 m, 16.6 m

Explanation:

The minimum frequency that a human ear can hear is 20 Hz

The maximum frequency that a human ear can hear is 20000 Hz.

v = Velocity of sound = 332 m/s

Wavelength is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{332}{20}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=16.6\ \text{m}

The longest wavelength that can be heard by the human ear is 16.6 m

\lambda=\dfrac{332}{20000}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=0.0166\ \text{m}

The shortest wavelength that can be heard by the human ear is 0.0166 m.

Your office has a 0.025 m^3 cylindrical container of drinking water. The radius of the container is about 13 cm. Required:a. Whe
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

<em>a) 105935.7 Pa</em>

<em>b) 103630.35 Pa</em>

Explanation:

The volume of the container = 0.025 m^3

The radius of the container = 13 cm = 0.13 m

We have to find the height of the tank

From the equation for finding the volume of the cylinder,

V = \pi r^2h

where

V is the volume of the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

substituting values, we have

0.025 = 3.142 x 0.13^2 x h

0.025 = 0.0531h

h = 0.025/0.0531 = 0.47 m

Pressure at the bottom of the tank P = ρgh

where

ρ is the density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is the depth of water which is equal to the height of the tank

substituting values, we have

P = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.47 = 4610.7 Pa

atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

therefore, the pressure in the tank bottom above atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa + 4610.7 Pa = <em>105935.7 Pa</em>

b) For half way down the container, depth of water will be = 0.47/2 = 0.235 m

pressure P = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.235 = 2305.35 Pa

This pressure above atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa + 2305.35 Pa = <em>103630.35 Pa</em>

An 3.7 lb hammer head, traveling at 5.8 ft/s strikes a nail and is brought to a stop in 0.00068 s. The acceleration of gravity i
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

31677.2 lb

Explanation:

mass of hammer (m) = 3.7 lb

initial velocity (u) = 5.8 ft/s

final velocity (v) = 0

time (t) = 0.00068 s

acceleration due to gravity (g) 32 ft/s^{2}

force = m x ( a + g )

where

  • m is the mass = 3.7 lb
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s^{2}
  • a is the acceleration of the hammer

       from v = u + at

       a = (v-u)/ t

       a = (0-5.8)/0.00068 = -8529.4 ( the negative sign showa the its decelerating)

we can substitute all required values into force= m x (a+g)

force = 3.7 x (8529.4 + 32) = 31677.2 lb
