Answer : (D) " in the opposite direction of "

Explanation :

It is given that when object A collides with object B and bounces back. This shows that the collision is elastic. There are two conditions for elastic collision :

(1) The momentum remains conserved

(2) Kinetic energy is conserved.

We know that momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. After bouncing back, the direction of velocity gets changed. So, the final momentum is in the opposite direction of its initial momentum.

So, the correct option is (D).

When object A collides with object B and bounces back, its final momentum is in the opposite direction of its initial momentum. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the last option or option "d". This type of collision is elastic in nature as the ball bounces back and so the momentum has to be in the opposite direction of the initial momentum. <span />

A dolphin is able to tell in the dark that the ultrasound echoes received from two sharks come from two different objects only i

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

a) Wavelength of the ultrasound wave = 0.0143 m <<< 3.5m, hence its ability is not limited by the ultrasound's wavelength.

b) Minimum time difference between the oscillations = Period of oscillation = 0.00952 ms

Explanation:

The frequency of the ultrasound wave = 105 KHz = 105000 Hz. The speed of ultrasound waves in water ≈ 1500 m/s. Wavelength = ?

v = fλ

λ = v/f = 1500/105000 = 0.0143 m <<< 3.5m

This value, 0.0143m is way less than the 3.5m presented in the question, hence, this ability is not limited by the ultrasound's wavelength.

b) Minimum time difference between the oscillations = The period of oscillation = 1/f = 1/105000 = 0.00000952s = 0.00952 ms

Hope this helps!

A 78.5-kg man is standing on a frictionless ice surface when he throws a 2.40-kg book horizontally at a speed of 11.3 m/s. With

kirill [66]

Answer:

The man moves across the ice with a speed of 0.345m/s.

Explanation:

From the conservation of linear momentum, we have that the total linear momentum before the book throw is equal to the total linear momentum just after it. Since the initial velocity of the system is zero (so the initial momentum is zero), we have that:

$m_mv_m+m_bv_b=0\\\\v_m=-\frac{m_b}{m_m} v_b$

Where $m_m$ is the mass of the man, $m_b$ is the mass of the book, and $v_m$ and $v_b$ are their velocities. Plugging in the given values, we can compute the speed of the man (ignoring the negative sign, because we care about the magnitude, not the direction):
