Answer:

3 hours

Explanation:

Given:

- The speed of Ben v_b = 3 mi/h

- The speed of Amanda v_a = 6 mi/h

- The total time taken to cover distance(d) by ben = t_b

Find:

How long will it be before Amanda catches up to Ben?

Solution:

- The distance d traveled by Ben:

                                 d = v_b*t_b

                                 d = 3*t_b

- The distance d traveled by Amanda:

                                 d = v_a*t_a

                                 d = 6*t_a

- Equate the distance as when they meet:

                                 3*t_b = 6*t_a

- Where ,

                                  t_b = t_a + 1.5

                                  t_a = t_b - 1.5

- Substitute the time relationship in distance relationship:

                                  3*t_b = 6*(t_b - 1.5)

                                  3*t_b = 6*1.5

                                      t_b = 2*1.5 = 3 h

- Hence, It would take 3 hours since Ben starts walking that amanda catches up.

a chuck wagon with an initial velocity of 4 m/s and a mass of 35 kg gets a push with 350 joules of force. what is the wagon's fi
Kitty [74]

Answer:

the final velocity of the wagon is 6 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the wagon, u = 4 m/s

mass of the wagon, m = 35 kg

energy applied to the wagon, E = 350 J

The final velocity of the wagon is calculated as;

E = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

m(v^2-u^2) = 2E\\\\v^2-u^2 = \frac{2E}{m} \\\\v^2 =  \frac{2E}{m}  + u^2\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}  + u^2} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2(350)}{35}  + (4)^2}\\\\v = 6 \ m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the wagon is 6 m/s.

Which instrument produces the sound of a single frequency?
notka56 [123]
NO musical instrument produces a 'pure' tone with only a
single frequency in it.

EVERY instrument produces more or less harmonics (multiples)
in addition to the basic frequency it's playing.

The percussion instruments (drums etc) are the richest producers
of bunches of different frequencies.

Fuzzy electric guitars are next richest.

The strings and brass instruments are moderate producers of
harmonics ... I can't remember which is greater than the other.

Then come the woodwinds ... clarinet, oboe, etc.

The closest to 'pure' tones of single frequency are the sounds
made by the flute and piccolo, but even these are far from 'pure'.

The only way to get a true single-frequency sound is from an
electronic 'sine wave' generator.

8. Rubbing a plastic bag and a balloon with a cloth gives both objects a net negative charge. The balloon's
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

0.214 m

Explanation:

In order for the bag to levitate and not fall down, the electrostatic force between the bag and the balloon must balance the weight of the bag.

Therefore, we can write:

k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}=mg

where

k is the Coulomb constant

q_1=-1\cdot 10^{-10}C is the charge on the balloon

q_2=-1\cdot 10^{-5} C is the charge on the bag

r is the separation betwen the bag and the balloon

m=0.02 g=2\cdot 10^{-5} kg is the mass of the bag

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

Solving for r, we find the distance at which the bag must be held:

r=\sqrt{\frac{kq_1 q_2}{mg}}=\sqrt{\frac{(9\cdot 10^9)(-1\cdot 10^{-10})(-1\cdot 10^{-5})}{(2\cdot 10^{-5})(9.8)}}=0.214 m
