Apply the wave equation:
v = wavelength × frequency
v = 8 m × 4 Hz = 32 m/s.

3. Determination of the final velocity

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration (a) = 5 ms¯²

Initial velocity (u) = 0 ms¯¹

Final velocity (v) =?

Acceleration is simply defined as the change in velocity per unit time.

Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Acceleration (a) = final velocity – Initial velocity / time

a = v – u / t

With the above formula, we can obtain the final velocity of the car as follow:

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration (a) = 5 ms¯²

Initial velocity (u) = 0 ms¯¹

Final velocity (v) =?

a = v – u / t

5 = v – 0 / 4

5 = v / 4

Cross multiply

v = 5 × 4

v = 20 ms¯¹

Thus, the final velocity of the car is 20 ms¯¹

Explain whether smoke filling up a room is diffusion or not

pogonyaev

Yes, it is diffusion !

Diffusion is the process in which gas, through random movement of particles, tends to fill up the whole volume of the container in which it is placed. So a similar process would lead the smoke, which is in form of gas (or light particles), to fill in the whole room in which it is contained.

awhite billiard ball with mass mw = 1.47 kg is moving directly to the right with a speed of v = 3.01 m/s and collides elasticall

pochemuha

Answer:

speed of white ball is 1.13 m/s and speed of black ball is 2.78 m/s

initial kinetic energy = final kinetic energy

$KE = 6.66 J$

Explanation:

Since there is no external force on the system of two balls so here total momentum of two balls initially must be equal to the total momentum of two balls after collision

So we will have

momentum conservation along x direction

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1x} + m_2v_{2x}$

now plug in all values in it

$1.47 \times 3.01 + 0 = 1.47 v_1cos68 + 1.47 v_2cos22$

so we have

$3.01 = 0.375v_1 + 0.927v_2$

similarly in Y direction we have

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1y} + m_2v_{2y}$

now plug in all values in it

$0 + 0 = 1.47 v_1sin68 - 1.47 v_2sin22$

so we have

$0 = 0.927v_1 - 0.375v_2$

$v_2 = 2.47 v_1$

now from 1st equation we have

$3.01 = 0.375 v_1 + 0.927(2.47 v_1)$

$v_1 = 1.13 m/s$

$v_2 = 2.78 m/s$

so speed of white ball is 1.13 m/s and speed of black ball is 2.78 m/s

Also we know that since this is an elastic collision so here kinetic energy is always conserved to

initial kinetic energy = final kinetic energy

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(1.47)(3.01^2)$

$KE = 6.66 J$

During a race, a runner runs at a speed of 6 m/s. 2 seconds later, she is running at a speed of 10 m/s. What is the runner’s acc

igor_vitrenko [27]

Remember what acceleration is? It's how fast the speed is changing over a period of time.

$a = \frac{dv}{dt}$

So in dt = 2 secs, she sped up from 6 to 10 m/s and so dv = (10-6) m/s.

Now that you know dv and dt, you can calculate the acceleration a!
