Suppose a clay model of a koala bear has a mass of 0.200 kg and slides on ice at a speed of 0.750 m/s. It runs into another clay

model, which is initially motionless and has a mass of 0.350 kg. Both being soft clay, they naturally stick together. What is their final velocity?

Answer:

0.278 m/s

Explanation:

We can answer the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision.

So we can write:

mu=(m+M)v

where

m = 0.200 kg is the mass of the koala bear

u = 0.750 m/s is the initial velocity of the koala bear

M = 0.350 kg is the mass of the other clay model

v is their final combined velocity

Solving the equation for v, we get

v=\frac{mu}{m+M}=\frac{(0.200)(0.750)}{0.200+0.350}=0.278 m/s

Answer:

When substances made of iron are exposed to oxygen and moisture (water), rusting takes place. Rusting removes a layer of material from the surface and makes the substance weak. Rusting is a chemical change.

A small block on a frictionless, horizontal surface has a mass of 0.0250 kg. It is attached to a massless cord passing through a
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a) Yes

b) 7 rad/s

c) 0.01034 J

Explanation:

a)

Yes the angular momentum of the block is conserved since the net torque on the block is zero.

b)

m = mass of the block = 0.0250 kg

w₀ = initial angular speed before puling the cord = 1.75 rad/s

r₀ = initial radius before puling the cord = 0.3 m

w = final angular speed after puling the cord = ?

r = final  radius after puling the cord = 0.15 m

Using conservation of angular momentum

m r₀² w₀ = m r² w

r₀² w₀ = r² w

(0.3)² (1.75) = (0.15)² w

w = 7 rad/s

c)

Change in kinetic energy is given as

ΔKE = (0.5) (m r² w² - m r₀² w₀²)

ΔKE = (0.5) ((0.025) (0.15)² (7)² - (0.025) (0.3)² (1.75)²)

ΔKE = 0.01034 J

A sound wave is direct at a wall. In 20 seconds, 200 wave cycles hit the wall.
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Frequency=10 Hz

Period=0.1 s

Explanation:

Frequency of a wave is the number of complete cycles per unit time. Usually, frequency is cycles per second, with unit as Heartz

Given cycles of the wave as 200 and time as 20 seconds

Frequency=200÷20=10 cycles per second

Therefore, frequency is 10 Hz

Period is usually the reviprocal of frequency hence reciprocal of 10 Hz will be 1/10=0.1 s
