A 2.0 kg arrow is fired at 10 m/s into a stationary 10kg block of ice what is the velocity of the arrow / ice combination after

the collision?

Answer:

1.67 m/s

Explanation:

Since this is an inelastic collision (the block and the arrow stick together after the collision), we can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum:

p_i = p_f\\m_a v_a + m_b v_b = (m_a + m_b) v

where

m_a = 2.0 kg is the mass of the arrow

v_a = 10 m/s is the initial speed of the arrow

m_b = 10 kg is the mass of the block

v_b = 0 is the initial speed of the block

v = ? is the final speed of the arrow+block

Substituting and re-arranging the equation, we find:

v=\frac{m_a v_a + m_b v_b}{m_a +m_b}=\frac{(2.0 kg)(10 m/s)+0}{2.0 kg+10.0 kg}=1.67 m/s

A harmonic wave is traveling along a rope. It is observed that the oscillator that generates the wave completes 37.6 vibrations
tangare [24]

Answer:

\lambda = 25.79\ cm

Explanation:

given,

Wave vibrates = 37.6

time = 27.9 s

maximum distance travel = 450 cm

time = 11.3 s

wavelength = ?

frequency of wave

f=\dfrac{37.6}{27.9}

f = 1.35 Hz

Speed of wave

v = \dfrac{450}{11.3}

v = 39.82 cm/s

wavelength of wave

v = fλ

\lambda =\dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda =\dfrac{34.82}{1.35}

\lambda = 25.79\ cm

Hence, wavelength of the wave is equal to 25.79 cm.

Rank the following objects by their accelerations down an incline (assume each object rolls without slipping) from least to grea
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

acceleration are

     hollow cylinder < hollow sphere < solid cylinder < solid sphere

Explanation:

To answer this question, let's analyze the problem. Let's use conservation of energy

Starting point. Highest point

          Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. To get off the ramp

          Em_f = K = ½ mv² + ½ I w²

notice that we include the kinetic energy of translation and rotation

         

energy is conserved

        Em₀ = Em_f

        mgh = ½ m v² +1/2 I w²

angular and linear velocity are related

         v = w r

         w = v / r

we substitute

          mg h = ½ v² (m + I / r²)

          v² = 2 gh   \frac{m}{m+ \frac{I}{r^2} }

          v² = 2gh    \frac{1}{1 + \frac{I}{m r^2} }

this is the velocity at the bottom of the plane ,, indicate that it stops from rest, so we can use the kinematics relationship to find the acceleration in the axis ax (parallel to the plane)

         v² = v₀² + 2 a L

where L is the length of the plane

         v² = 2 a L

         a = v² / 2L

we substitute

         a = g \ \frac{h}{L} \  \frac{1}{1+ \frac{I}{m r^2 } }

let's use trigonometry

         sin θ = h / L

         

we substitute

         a = g sin θ   \ \frac{h}{L} \  \frac{1}{1+ \frac{I}{m r^2 } }

the moment of inertia of each object is tabulated, let's find the acceleration of each object

a) Hollow cylinder

      I = m r²

we look for the acerleracion

      a₁ = g sin θ    \frac{1}{1 + \frac{mr^2 }{m r^2 } }1/1 + mr² / mr² =

      a₁ = g sin θ    ½

b) solid cylinder

       I = ½ m r²

       a₂ = g sin θ  \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{2}  \frac{mr^2}{mr^2} } = g sin θ   \frac{1}{1+ \frac{1}{2} }

       a₂ = g sin θ   ⅔

c) hollow sphere

     I = 2/3 m r²

     a₃ = g sin θ   \frac{1}{1 + \frac{2}{3} }

     a₃ = g sin θ \frac{3}{5}

d) solid sphere

     I = 2/5 m r²

     a₄ = g sin θ  \frac{1 }{1 + \frac{2}{5} }

     a₄ = g sin θ  \frac{5}{7}

We already have all the accelerations, to facilitate the comparison let's place the fractions with the same denominator (the greatest common denominator is 210)

a) a₁ = g sin θ ½ = g sin θ      \frac{105}{210}

b) a₂ = g sinθ ⅔ = g sin θ     \frac{140}{210}

c) a₃ = g sin θ \frac{3}{5}= g sin θ       \frac{126}{210}

d) a₄ = g sin θ \frac{5}{7} = g sin θ      \frac{150}{210}

the order of acceleration from lower to higher is

   

     a₁ <a₃ <a₂ <a₄

acceleration are

     hollow cylinder < hollow sphere < solid cylinder < solid sphere

Police radar equipment is used to detect the speed of objects. In one trial, the radar equipment records a stationary tree as tr
Brut [27]

Answer:

reliability

accuracy

Explanation:

If a reading of a measurement is consistently the same then the measurement is reliable.

If a reading of measurement is close the actual value of the measurement then the reading is accurate.

Here, a stationary tree shows reading 6 mph once and 0 mph another instant. So, neither the reading of a measurement is consistent not the reading of measurement is close the actual value.

Hence, the radar has problems in its reliability and accuracy
