An Arrow (0.5 kg) travels with velocity 20 m/s to the right when it pierces an apple (2 kg) which is initially at rest. After th

e collision, the arrow and the apple are stuck together. Assume that no external forces are present and therefore the momentum for the system is conserved. What is the final velocity (in m/s) of apple and arrow after the collision

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

mu+m'u' = V(m+m')...................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the arrow, u = initial velocity of the arrow, m' = mass of the apple, u' = initial velocity of the apple, V = Final velocity of the apple and the arrow after collision.

make V the subject of the equation

V = (mu+m'u')/(m+m').................... Equation 2

Given: m = 0.5 kg, m' = 2 kg, u = 20 m/s, u' = 0 m/s(initially at rest)

Substitute into equation 2

V = (0.5×20+2×0)/(2+0.5)

V = 10/2.5

V = 4 m/s.

Hence the final velocity of the apple and the arrow after the collision = 4 m/s

The electric field of a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave obeys the equation E = (375V /m) cos[(1.99× 107rad/m)x + (5.97 × 1015rad
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

a)  v = 2,9992 10⁸ m / s , b)  Eo = 375 V / m ,  B = 1.25 10⁻⁶ T,

c)     λ = 3,157 10⁻⁷ m,   f = 9.50 10¹⁴ Hz ,  T = 1.05 10⁻¹⁵ s , UV

Explanation:

In this problem they give us the equation of the traveling wave

        E = 375 cos [1.99 10⁷ x + 5.97 10¹⁵ t]

a) what the wave velocity

all waves must meet

        v = λ f

In this case, because of an electromagnetic wave, the speed must be the speed of light.

        k = 2π / λ

        λ = 2π / k

        λ = 2π / 1.99 10⁷

        λ = 3,157 10⁻⁷ m

        w = 2π f

        f = w / 2 π

        f = 5.97 10¹⁵ / 2π

        f = 9.50 10¹⁴ Hz

the wave speed is

        v = 3,157 10⁻⁷   9.50 10¹⁴

        v = 2,9992 10⁸ m / s

b) The electric field is

           Eo = 375 V / m

to find the magnetic field we use

           E / B = c

           B = E / c

            B = 375 / 2,9992 10⁸

            B = 1.25 10⁻⁶ T

c) The period is

           T = 1 / f

            T = 1 / 9.50 10¹⁴

            T = 1.05 10⁻¹⁵ s

the wavelength value is

          λ = 3,157 10-7 m (109 nm / 1m) = 315.7 nm

this wavelength corresponds to the ultraviolet

As the ambulance got closer, Marge noticed that the pitch of the siren got higher. This happened because
Neko [114]

Explanation :

As the ambulance got closer, Marge noticed that the pitch of the siren got higher. This is due to the Doppler's effect.

The siren of the ambulance has a higher pitch when it approaches Marge. When the waves move away from him, it will have a lower pitch.

As the waves come closer to us, the waves become compressed and hence the frequency of the wave increases.

What type of force cause an object to accelerate??
Olin [163]
ANY force causes an object to accelerate, just as long as there are not
some other forces on the object that cancel out the first one.

Are you looking for the answer ... an "UNBALANCED" force ?
That's a very poor way to describe it, because there's no such thing
as a balanced or unbalanced force.  The thing that's balanced or
unbalanced is a GROUP of forces, not a single force.

A 615 N student standing on a scale in an elevator notices that the scale reads 645 N. From this information, the student knows
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The elevator must be moving upward.

Explanation:

During the motion of an elevator, the weight of the person deviates from his or her actual weight. This temporary weight during the motion is referred to as "Apparent Weight". So, when the elevator is moving downward, the apparent weight of the person becomes less than his or her actual weight.

On the other hand, for the upward motion of the elevator, the apparent weight of the person becomes more than the actual weight of that person.

Since the apparent weight (645 N) of the student, in this case, is greater than the actual weight (615 N) of the student.

<u>Therefore, the elevator must be moving upward.</u>
