A sled of mass m is coasting on the icy surface of a frozen river. While it is passing under a bridge, a package of equal mass m

is dropped straight down and lands on the sled (without causing any damage). The sled plus the added load then continue along the original line of motion. How does the kinetic energy of the (sled + load) compare with the original kinetic energy of the sled? A) It is 1/4 the original kinetic energy of the sled. B) It is 1/2 the original kinetic energy of the sled. C) It is 3/4 the original kinetic energy of the sled. D) It is the same as the original kinetic energy of the sled. E) It is twice the original kinetic energy of the sled.

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

mass of Sled is m

another package of mass m is thrown on it

Suppose u be the initial velocity of sled

conserving momentum

mu=2mv

v=\frac{u}{2}

where v is the final velocity

Initial kinetic energy =\frac{1}{2}mu^2

Final Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}(2m)\cdot (\frac{u}{2})^2

Final Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}mu^2

Final kinetic Energy is half of initial

a horse runs with an initial velocity of 11m/s and slows to 5.2 m/s over a time interval of 3.1 s what is the horse's average ac
Katarina [22]

Answer:

a = change in v / change in time

= (5.2 - 11) / 3.1

= -1.87 m/s^2

Suppose the green car was traveling at 0 miles the white car was traveling at 70 miles at the red car was trailing at 22 miles w
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The white car will cover the most distance every second.

Explanation:

The formula for the uniform speed of an object is given as follows:

s = vt

where,

s = distance covered by the object

v = speed of the object

t = time required

Now, if we assume time to be  constant at 1 s. Then the distance covered by each car will be directly proportional to the speed of the car. Hence, the car with the greatest speed will travel the greatest distance in 1 second.

We, have:

Speed of white car > Speed of red car > Speed of green car

<u>Therefore, the white car will cover the most distance every second.</u>

We know, length of segment wave is half the wavelength .

Let, wavelength of wave is \lambda.

So, length of segment will be \dfrac{\lambda}{2} .

Now, it is given that the string vibrates in four segments.

So,

L = 4\times \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\L = 2\lambda\\\\\lambda = 1\ m

Speed can be given by :

speed = wavelength \times frequency\\\\speed = 1\times 120\  m/s\\\\speed = 120\ m/s

Therefore, the wave speed in the string is 120 m/s.
