This problem here is an example of inelastic collision where kinetic energy is not conserved but momentum is. We calculate as follows:

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v3
v3 = m1v1 + m2v2  / m1 + m2
v3 = (30.2)(1000) + (5000)(0) / (30.2 + 5000)
v3 = 6.00 m/s

Consider a standing wave in a one dimensional ideal medium of length "D" (like a vibrating string).
stira [4]

Answer:

a) 20 nodes    b) zero nodes

Explanation:

When we have standing waves in a bend we have nodes at the ends and the equation describes the number of possible waves in the string is

         L = n λ/2

Where λ is the wavelength, L is the length of the string, in our case it would be D and n is an entered. We can strip the wavelength of this expression

       

       λ = 2L / n

Let's calculate what value of n we have for a wavelength equal to D/10

       λ = 2D / n

       λ = D / 10

We match and calculate

       2D / n = D / 10

       2 / n = 1/10

       n = 20

Perform them for  λ = D / 20

       λ = 2D / n

       2D / n = D / 20

       n = 2 20 = 40

Since n is an inter there should be a wavelength for each value of n in the bone period there should be 20 different wavelengths

B) for La = 10D

       2D / n = 10D

       1 / n = 5

       n = 1/5 = 0.2

 

La = 20D

       2D / n = 20D

       1 / n = 10

      n = 1/10 = 0.1

These numbers are not entered so there can be no wave in this period

A galvanometer with a resistance of 40.0 ω deflects full scale at a current of 2.0 ma. what resistance should be used with this
kogti [31]
The resistance needed to be added is R
The Current is 2 ma
The voltage reading is a maximum of 50 volts.
The ma meter has an internal resistance of 40 ohms.

Formula
E = I * R

Givens
E = 50
I = 2 ms
R = R + 40

Solution
E = I * R
I = 2 ma [ 1 amp / 1000 ma] = 0.002 amp
50 = 0.002 * (R + 40)  Divide by 0.002
50/0.002 = R + 40
25000 = R + 40 Subtract 40 from both sides.
R = 25000 - 40
R = 24960     Answer

How do the positions of the hot and cold water affect the speed of convection
Aleks [24]

Convection is the process in which heat is transferred by movement of a heated fluid such as air or water. Natural convection results from the tendency of most fluids to expand when heated so it becomes less dense and rise above.  

For example- In a pot of water on a stove the liquid t bottom is heated by conduction. The hot water has lower density and it rises above pushing the cold water downwards so it gets heated.

A force F→=(cx-3.00x2)iˆ acts on a particle as the particle moves along an x axis, with F→ in newtons, x in meters, and c a cons
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done = ∫Fdx

= ∫(cx-3.00x²)   dx

[ c x² / 2 - 3 x³ / 3 ]₀²

= change in kinetic energy

= 11-20

= - 9 J

[ c x² / 2 -  x³   ]₀² = - 9

c x 2² / 2 - 2³ = -9

2c - 8 = -9

2c = -1

c = - 1/2

Hey Tori's are the rim of a canyon yells hello toward the opposite side she has an echo hello four seconds later if the speed of
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The wall is 680 meter away from the person.

Explanation:

Given data

Speed of sound = 340 \frac{m}{s}

Given that Persons said hello toward the opposite side she has an echo hello 4 seconds later means it takes 2 seconds for the sound to reach the wall & again 2 seconds to reach the persons ear.

Therefore the distance between the person & wall is

D = speed × Time

D = 340 × 2

D = 680 meter

Therefore the wall is 680 meter away from the person.
