Mac and Keena are experimenting with pulses on a rope. Mac vibrates one end up and down while Keena holds the other end. This creates a pulse which they observe moving from end to end. How does the position of a point on the rope before the start of the pulse compare to its position after the pulse passes? Explain your reasoning.
Uhh? Do you have any questions or need help?
The heat moves from the hot chocolate to the handle of the spoon by a process called thermal conduction.
It is the transfer of heat energy from one object to another when they are in contact with eachother.
Hope this answers your question.
Unlike acceleration and velocity, speed does not need to specify the direction of motion. Speed is a scalar quality.
Answer:
a) 4.2m/s
b) 5.0m/s
Explanation:
This problem is solved using the principle of conservation of linear momentum which states that in a closed system of colliding bodies, the sum of the total momenta before collision is equal to the sum of the total momenta after collision.
The problem is also an illustration of elastic collision where there is no loss in kinetic energy.
Equation (1) is a mathematical representation of the the principle of conservation of linear momentum for two colliding bodies of masses
and
whose respective velocities before collision are
and
;

where
and
are their respective velocities after collision.
Given;

Note that
=0 because the second mass
was at rest before the collision.
Also, since the two masses are equal, we can say that
so that equation (1) is reduced as follows;

m cancels out of both sides of equation (2), and we obtain the following;

a) When
, we obtain the following by equation(3)

b) As
stops moving
, therefore,
