Answer:

Shock wave.

Explanation:

A wave that will travel faster than the speed of sound. It will generate regions where the pressure is high, in the medium in which the wave travels.

As the wave travels faster than  the sound wave, in that medium compressional waves pile up and will result in regions of high pressure. The source that  generates the  shock waves will be moving ahead of the waves that are produced by it.

Suppose an air craft travels faster than the speed of sound, it will generate shock waves.

Hooke's law describes a certain light spring of unstretched length 34.8 cm. When one end is attached to the top of a doorframe a
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

a) k = 1343.6\,\frac{N}{m}, b) l = 0.501\,m\,(50.1\,cm)

Explanation:

a) The Hooke's law states that spring force is directly proportional to change in length. That is to say:

F \propto \Delta l

In this case, the force is equal to the weight of the object:

F = m\cdot g

F = (8.22\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )

F = 80.614\,N

The spring constant is:

k = \frac{F}{\Delta l}

k = \frac{80.614\,N}{0.408\,m-0.348\,m}

k = 1343.6\,\frac{N}{m}

b) The length of the spring is:

F = k\cdot (l-l_{o})

l = l_{o} + \frac{F}{k}

l=0.348\,m+\frac{205\,N}{1343.6\,\frac{N}{m} }

l = 0.501\,m\,(50.1\,cm)

A 1400 kg wrecking ball hangs from a 20-m-long cable. the ball is pulled back until the cable makes an angle of 30.0 ∘ with the
anastassius [24]

From the geometry of the problem, the 20 m-long cable creates the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the extended of the other two sides of size 20 m * cos(30 deg), which is around 17.3 m. Therefore, the ball has increased by 20 m - 17.3 m = 2.7 m. 

The potential energy will have altered by m*g*h, which is 1400 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.6 m , or about 37044 joules.

A bedroom bureau with a mass of 45 kg, including drawers and clothing, rests on the floor. (a) If the coefficient of static fric
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer: the minimal force that you need to apply to move the bureau is F = 198.45N

Explanation:

If you want to move an object, you need to apply a force that is bigger than the force of the statical friction.

The force of statical friction can be written as.

Ff = k*N

where k is the coefficient of static friction, in this case, k = 0.45, and N is the normal force between the object and the surface.

In this case, the normal force is the weight of the bedroom bureau, this is:

N = m*g = 45kg*9.8m/s^2 = 441N

Then the force is:

Fr = 0.45*441N = 198.45N

This means that the minimal force that you need to apply to move the bureau is F = 198.45N

and after this point, the force of friction will work wit the kinetic coefficient of friction, that usually is smaller than the statical one.

An object has a starting velocity of 20 m/s. If it accelerates at a rate of 2 m/s' for 3 seconds,
Ghella [55]

Answer:

26 m/s

69 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20 m/s

a = 2 m/s²

t = 3 s

Find: v and Δx

v = at + v₀

v = (2 m/s²) (3 s) + 20 m/s

v = 26 m/s

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (20 m/s) (3 s) + ½ (2 m/s²) (3 s)²

Δx = 69 m
