Explanation:

When a tennis ball is thrown against a wall it appears to bounce back with exactly the same speed as it struck the wall. The momentum will remain conserved in this case. The law of conservation of momentum states that when no external force is acting on a system, the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum.

Here, this is a case of inelastic collision. The kinetic energy is not conserved in this case. Some of the energy is lost in the form of heat, sound etc.

A stationary horn emits a sound with a frequency of 228 Hz. A car is moving toward the horn on a straight road with constant spe
stiks02 [169]

Answer: 26.84 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Original frequency of the horn f_o=228\ Hz

Apparent frequency f'=246\ Hz

Speed of sound is V=340\ m/s

Doppler frequency is

\Rightarrow f'=f_o\left(\dfrac{v+v_o}{v-v_s}\right)

Where,

v_o=\text{Velocity of the observer}\\v_s=\text{Velocity of the source}

Insert values

\Rightarrow 246=228\left[\dfrac{340+v_o}{340-0}\right]\\\\\Rightarrow 366.84=340+v_o\\\Rightarrow v_o=26.8\ m/s

Thus, the speed of the car is 26.84\ m/s

A car takes 10 s to go from v = 0 m/s to v = 25 m/s at constant acceleration. If you wish to find the distance traveled using th
german

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 25 m/s

time taken (t) = 10s

acceleration (a) = ?

Now,

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity, so formula is

a = (v - u)/t

a = (25 - 10)/10

a = 15/10

a = 1.5 m/(s^2)

Use this value of a.

Benny wants to estimate the mean lifetime of Energizer batteries, with a confidence level of 97%, and with a margin of error not
VikaD [51]

Answer:

143 batteries does Benny need to sample

Explanation:

Given data

confidence level = 97%

error  = ±10 hours

standard deviation SD = 55 hours

to find out

how many batteries does Benny need to sample

solution

confidence level is 97%

so a will be 1 - 0.97 = 0.03

the value of Z will be for a 0.03 is 2.17 from standard table

so now we calculate no of sample i.e

no of sample  = (Z× SD/ error)²

no of sample = (2.16 × 55 / 10)²

no of sample = 142.44

so  143 batteries does Benny need to sample
