A 5.0-kg clay putty ball and a 10.0-kg medicine ball are headed towards each other. Both have the same speed of 20 m/s. If they

collide perfectly inelastically, what approximately is the speed of the blob of clay and ball immediately after the collision?

Answer:

- 3.33 m /s

Explanation:

m1 = 5 kg

m2 = 10 kg

u1 = 10 m/s

u2 = - 10 m/s

Let the velocity of the combination of the blob is v.

Use the conservation of momentum

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=\left ( m_{1}+m_{2} \right )v

5 x 10 - 10 x 10 = (5 + 10)v

50 - 100 = 15 v

v = - 3.33 m /s

Thus, the velocity of the blob after sticking together is - 3.33 m/s.

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air
frosja888 [35]

The frequency of the wave has not changed.

In fact, the frequency of a wave is given by:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where v is the wave's speed and \lambda is the wavelength.

Applying the formula:

- In air, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{400 m/s}{2 m}=200 Hz

- underwater, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{1600 m/s}{8 m}=200 Hz

So, the frequency has not changed.

Why is it a good idea to start with room temperature water in the calorimeter?
densk [106]

Explanation:

It is a good idea to start with room temperature water in the calorimeter because the room temperature water helps to determine the heating up/cooling down because of the environment as the experiment takes place. Because the calorimeter heat is the same as the heat of the water.
