Answer:
(a) 2.5 m/s
(b) 37.5 KJ
Explanation:
(a)
From the law of conservation of momentum, Initial momentum=Final momentum
and making
the subject then
and since
is initial velocity of car, value given as 4 m/s,
is the initial velocity of the three cars stuck together, value given as 2 m/s and
is the final velocity which is unknown. By substitution
(b)
Initial kinetic energy is given by
Final kinetic energy is given by
The energy lost is given by subtracting the final kinetic energy from the initial kinetic energy hence
Energy lost=350-312.5=37.5 KJ
Answer:
Velocity, v = 0.239 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
The distance between two consecutive nodes of a standing wave is 20.9 cm = 0.209 m
The hand generating the pulses moves up and down through a complete cycle 2.57 times every 4.47 s.
For a standing wave, the distance between two consecutive nodes is equal to half of the wavelength.
Frequency is number of cycles per unit time.
Now we can find the velocity of the wave.
Velocity = frequency × wavelength
v = 0.574 × 0.418
v = 0.239 m/s
So, the velocity of the wave is 0.239 m/s.
