4 0

Answer:

time taken by the wave to reach the person is 0.2 s

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the wave is given as

v = \lambda f

here we know that the wavelength of the wave is

\lambda = 2.5 m

f = 10 Hz

now speed of the wave is given as

v = 10(2.5)

v = 25 m/s

Now time taken by the wave to reach 5 m distance is

t = \frac{L}{v}

t = \frac{5}{25}

t = 0.2 s

Consider massive gliders that slide friction-free along a horizontal air track. Glider A has a mass of 1 kg, a speed of 1 m/s, a
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

0.167m/s

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum which States that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision. The bodies move with a common velocity after collision.

Given momentum = Maas × velocity.

Momentum of glider A = 1kg×1m/s

Momentum of glider = 1kgm/s

Momentum of glider B = 5kg × 0m/s

The initial velocity of glider B is zero since it is at rest.

Momentum of glider B = 0kgm/s

Momentum of the bodies after collision = (mA+mB)v where;

mA and mB are the masses of the gliders

v is their common velocity after collision.

Momentum = (1+5)v

Momentum after collision = 6v

According to the law of conservation of momentum;

1kgm/s + 0kgm/s = 6v

1 =6v

V =1/6m/s

Their speed after collision will be 0.167m/s

A person pushes a refrigerator across a horizontal floor. The mass of the refrigerator is 110 kg, the coefficient of static fric
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of refrigerator, m = 110 kg

coefficient of static friction, μs = 0.85

coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.59

(a) the minimum force required to just start the motion in refrigerator

F = μs x mg

F = 0.85 x 110 x 9.8

F = 916.3 N

(b) The force required to move the refrigerator with constant speed

F' = μk x mg

F' = 0.59 x 110 x 9.8

F' = 636.02 N

(c) Let a be the acceleration.

Net force = Applied force - friction force

F net = 950 - 636.02

F net = 313.98 N

a = F net / mass

a = 313.98 / 110

a = 2.85 m/s²

Barnard’s Star is a red dwarf. It is located 5.9 light years from Earth. (One light year is the same as 9.46 trillion kilometers
mote1985 [20]
A star is located 5.9 light years from Earth.
We know that : 1 light year = 9.46  trillion kilometers.
We will calculate the distance in trillion kilometers multiplying the number of light years by 9.46:
5.9 * 9.46 = 55.814
Answer: The distance is 55.814 trillion km.
