Answer: 12.5m

Explanation:

Given the following :

Flagpole makes 20 complete vibrations in 10 seconds

Velocity (V) of vibration = 25m/s

Find the wavelength of vibration (λ) =?

Frequency is number of complete oscillation per Second

Therefore ;

Frequency (F) = number of oscillations / time taken

F = 20 / 10 = 2Hz

Wavelength = Velocity / frequency

Wavelength = 25 / 2

Wavelength = 12.5m

A circuit contains two devices that are connected in parallel. If the resistance of one of these devices is 12 ohms and the resi

finlep [7]

<u>Answer</u>

3 Ohms

<u>Explanation</u>

when the resistors are in series, the resistance in the circuit increases. For example, if two resistors, R1 and R2 are in series, the combined resistance is R1+R2.

When connected in parallel, the total resistance is the reciprocal of (1/R1 + 1/R2)

In this case the resistors are in parallel.

Total resistance = (1/12 + 1/4)⁻¹

= (1/3)⁻¹

= 3 Ohms

What two motions combine to produce an orbit?

Ivenika [448]

I'm pretty sure it's Inertia and Gravity

Inertia deals with an object's tendency to stay in motion at a constant speed.

Hopefully this helped and good luck.

Beginning at the NW corner of the intersection of Pine & 675, thence north 950 feet, thence west 380 feet, thence south 950

Serjik [45]

Answer:

this description is valid for mediadle displacement, bone is an acceptable description

Explanation:

The description of a person's position must be done with a position vector. These vectors must have magnitude, a given direction and a starting point.

In the description this has a starting point corner NO of pine and 675.

Each displacement occurs with respect to the previous one, indicating the magnitude of the displacement and its direction.

After analyzing this description is valid for mediadle displacement, bone is an acceptable description

liq [111]

Complete Question:

In the "before" part of Fig. 9-60, car A (mass 1100 kg) is stopped at a traffic light when it is rear-ended by car B (mass 1400 kg). Both cars then slide with locked wheels until the frictional force from the slick road (with a low ?k of 0.15) stops them, at distances dA = 6.1 m and dB = 4.4 m. What are the speeds of (a) car A and (b) car B at the start of the sliding, just after the collision? (c) Assuming that linear momentum is conserved during the collision, find the speed of car B just before the collision.

Answer:

a) Speed of car A at the start of sliding = 4.23 m/s

b) speed of car B at the start of sliding = 3.957 m/s

c) Speed of car B before the collision = 7.28 m/s

Explanation:

NB: The figure is not provided but all the parameters needed to solve the question have been given.

Let the frictional force acting on car A, $f_{ra} = \mu mg\\$ ............(1)

Since frictional force is a type of force, we are safe to say $f_{ra} = ma$ .......(2)

Equating (1) and (2)

$ma = \mu mg\\a = \mu g\\\mu = 0.15\\a = 0.15 * 9.8 = 1.47 m/s^{2}$

a) Speed of A at the start of the sliding

$d_{A} = 6.1 m\\Speed of A at the start of sliding, v_{A} = \sqrt{2ad_{A} }\\ v_{A} = \sqrt{2*1.47*6.1 } \\v_{A} = \sqrt{17.934 } \\v_{A} = 4.23 m/s$

b) Speed of B at the start of the sliding

$d_{A} = 4.4 m\\Speed of A at the start of sliding, v_{B} = \sqrt{2ad_{B} }\\ v_{B} = \sqrt{2*1.47*4.4 } \\v_{B} = \sqrt{12.936 } \\v_{B} = 3.957 m/s$
