Two people are standing on a 2.50-m-long platform, one at each end. The platform floats parallel to the ground on a cushion of a

ir, like a hovercraft. The two people, the platform and a 3.63-kg ball are all initially at rest. One person throws the 3.63-kg ball to the other, who catches it. The ball travels nearly horizontally. Excluding the ball, the total mass of the platform and people is 198 kg. Because of the throw, this 198-kg mass recoils. How far does the platform move before coming to rest again?

Answer:

The platform move before coming to rest again 0.045 m far

Explanation:

Given

Ball is in motion

M (Platform mass + 2 people mass)

V (recoil velocity of the platform)

m (ball mass)

v (velocity ball)

MV + mv = 0

Distance of the platform movement is

t (time that the ball is in the air)

x = Vt

t = \frac{L}{v - V}

Knowing the platform and the ball are moving while the ball is in the air

x = \frac{V}{v - V} * L

Also knowing that

\frac{V}{v} = \frac{-m}{M}

This way,

x = ((\frac{V}{v}) * L) / (1 - \frac{V}{v}) = -\frac{m*L}{M + m} = -\frac{3.63 kg * 2.50 m}{198 kg + 3.63 kg}  = -0.045 m

The minus sign means the displacement of the platform is in opposite direction to the displacement of the ball.

solniwko [45]
Convert the given in SI units.

         (44 ft/sec)(1 m/ 3.28 ft) = 13.41 m/sec

The distance traveled and the initial velocity can be related through the equation,
  
   d = (Vf)² - (Vi)²/ 2a

where d is the distance, Vf is the final velocity, Vi is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the known values from the given above,

    d = ((0 m/s)² - (13.41 m/s)²)/ 2(-9.8 m/s²)

The value of d from the equation,

    d = 9.17 meters

Convert this to feet,

    d = (9.17 m)(3.28 ft / 1 m) = 30 ft

Answer: 30 ft

A salt is dissolved in water which has a freezing point of 0 degrees celsius. the freezing point of the solution would be dependent on the concentration of the salt in the solution. It is explained by the colligative properties. These <span>are </span>properties<span> that depend upon the concentration of solute molecules or ions, but not upon the identity of the solute. Hope this answers the question.</span>

A piano tuner is using a 392 Hz tuning fork to tune the wire for a G-Natural note. She hears 4 beats per second. What are the tw
inysia [295]

A beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. Frequency beat is equal to,

f_{beat} =| f_2\pm f_1 |

The reference frequency in our case would be 392Hz, and since there is the possibility of the upper and lower range for the amount of beats per second that the two possible frequencies are heard would be

f_{beat} =|392+4|= 396Hz

f_{beat} =|392-4|=388Hz

Therefore the two possible frequencies the piano wire is vibrating at, would be 396Hz and 388Hz

What is the beat frequency of two keys on a phone, one with a frequency of 210 Hz and the other one with a frequency of 280 Hz?
vodka [1.7K]
The best frequency should be 70 Hz you simply find the difference between 280 Hz and 210 Hz
