Answer:

u= 20.09 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m = 0.02 kg

M= 2 kg

h= 0.2 m

Lets take initial speed of bullet = u m/s

The final speed of the system will be zero.

From energy conservation

1/2 m u²+ 0 = 0+ (m+M) g h

m u²=2 (m+M) g h

By putting the values

0.02 x u² = 2 (0.02+2) x 10 x 0.2       ( take g=10 m/s²)

u= 20.09 m/s

Sound level B in decibels is defined as
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The approximate combined sound  intensity is I_{T}=1.1\times10^{-4}W/m^{2}

Explanation:

The decibel  scale intensity for busy traffic is 80 dB. so intensity will be

10log(\frac{I_{1}}{I_{0}} )=80, therefore I_{1}=1\times10^{8}I_{0}=1\times10^{8} * 1\times10^{-12}W/m^{2}=1\times10^{-4}W/m^{2}

In the same way for the loud conversation having a decibel intensity of 70 dB.

10log(\frac{I_{2}}{I_{0}} )=70, therefore I_{2}=1\times10^{7}I_{0}=1\times10^{7} * 1\times10^{-12}W/m^{2}=1\times10^{-5}W/m^{2}

Finally we add both of them I_{T}=I_{1}+I_{2}=1\times10^{-4}W/m^{2}+1\times10^{-5}W/m^{2}=1.1\times10^{-4}W/m^{2}, is the approximate combined sound  intensity.

Who is the founder of operant conditioning?
Gemiola [76]

Operant conditioning, sometimes called <em>instrumental learning</em>, was first extensively studied by Edward L. Thorndike, who observed the behavior of cats trying to escape from home-made puzzle boxes.

Hope this helps!

The altitude of the International Space Station ttt minutes after its perigee (closest point), in kilometers, is given by \qquad
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

T = 92.8 min

Explanation:

Given:

The altitude of the International Space Station t minutes after its perigee (closest point), in kilometers, is given by:

                               A(t) = 415 - sin(\frac{2*\pi (t+23.2)}{92.8})

Find:

- How long does the International Space Station take to orbit the earth? Give an exact answer.

Solution:

- Using the the expression given we can extract the angular speed of the International Space Station orbit:

                                 A(t) = 415 - sin({\frac{2*\pi*t }{92.8} + \frac{23.2*2*\pi }{92.8} )

- Where the coefficient of t is angular speed of orbit w = 2*p / 92.8

- We know that the relation between angular speed w and time period T of an orbit is related by:

                                T = 2*p / w

                                T = 2*p / (2*p / 92.8)

Hence,                     T = 92.8 min

15) What is the frequency of a pendulum that is moving at 30 m/s with a wavelength of .35 m?
____ [38]

A pendulum is not a wave.

-- A pendulum doesn't have a 'wavelength'.

-- There's no way to define how many of its "waves" pass a point
every second.

--  Whatever you say is the speed of the pendulum, that speed
can only be true at one or two points in the pendulum's swing,
and it's different everywhere else in the swing.

-- The frequency of a pendulum depends only on the length
of the string from which it hangs.


If you take the given information and try to apply wave motion to it:

             Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)

             Frequency  =  (speed) / (wavelength) ,

you would end up with

             Frequency = (30 meter/sec) / (0.35 meter) = 85.7 Hz

Have you ever seen anything that could be described as
a pendulum, swinging or even wiggling back and forth
85 times every second ? ! ?     That's pretty absurd. 

This math is not applicable to the pendulum.
