Two people are standing on a 3.12-m-long platform, one at each end. The platform floats parallel to the ground on a cushion of a

ir, like a hovercraft. The two people, the platform and a 3.36-kg ball are all initially at rest. One person throws the 3.36-kg ball to the other, who catches it. The ball travels nearly horizontally. Excluding the ball, the total mass of the platform and people is 119 kg. Because of the throw, this 119-kg mass recoils. How far does the platform move before coming to rest again

Answer:

The magnitude of displacement is 0.082m

Explanation:

While the ball is in motion,we have MV + mv= 0 ...eq1

Where M = combined mass of the platform and the two people.

V = velocity of the platform

m = mass of the ball

v = velocity of the ball

The distance that the platform moves is given by:

X = Vt ...eq2

Where t is the time that the ball is in the air.

The time the ball is in the air is given by:

L/(v-V) ...eq3

Where L is the length of the platform

The quantity(v-V) = velocity of the ball relative to the platform.

Combining eq2 and eq3

X = (V/(v - V))L

From eq1 , the ratios of the velocities is V/v = -m/M

X = (V/v)L / (1 - (V/v) = (-m/M) L /(1+ (m/M))

X = -mL/(M + m)

X = - (3.36kg × 3.12m) /( 119kg + 3.36kg)

X = - 10.48/ 122.36

X = -0.082m

The minus sign implies that the displacement of the platform is in the opposite direction to the displacement of the ball.

Therefore, the distance moved by the platform is the magnitude of this displacement 0.082m.

Answer:

Displacement = 0.086m

Explanation:

Given

M = Combined mass of the two people and the platform = 119kg

m = mass of the ball = 3.36kg

v = velocity of the ball

V = Recoil velocity of the platform

t = time spent by the ball in the air

L = length of the platform = 3.12m

MV + mv = 0

The distance moved by the platform is given by; x = Vt

Where t = L/(v - V)

v - V represents the velocity of the ball relative to the platform.

Substitute L/(v - V) for t

so, x = VL/(v-V)

From (MV + mv = 0), we have

MV = -mv

V/v = -m/M

So, x = VL/(v-V) becomes

x = ((V/v)L)/(1 - V/v)

x = ((-m/M)L)/(1 + m/M)

x = -mL/(M+m)

x = -(3.36 * 3.12)/(3.36 + 119)

x = -0.08567505720823798627002

x = -0.086m

The negative sign implies that the displacement of the platform is in the opposite direction to the displacement of the ball.

The distance moved by the platform before coming to rest is 0.086m

A wave will go faster through a liquid at ____________ temperatures
cupoosta [38]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Higher temperatures

A wave will go faster through a liquid at <em><u>highe</u></em><u>r </u>temperatures

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Mechanical waves are types of waves that require a material medium for transmission.</u></em> An example of mechanical wave is the sound wave whose transmission occurs in medium such as solids, liquids and gases.  
  • <em><u>The transmission of mechanical waves involves vibration of particles through the medium of transmission, thus transfer of energy from one point to another. </u></em>The vibration of particle may be in the form of a longitudinal wave or a transverse wave.  
  • <em><u>Increasing the temperature in a medium increases the kinetic energy of the particles in the medium and thus increasing the speed at which the particles vibrates and thus aiding a faster transmission of a wave.</u></em>
