A 0.25 kg arrow with a velocity of 12 m/s to the west strikes and pierces the center of a 6.8 kg target. What is the final veloc

ity of the combined mass
Physics

Answer:20/47 meter per second

Explanation:

Mass of arrow(ma)=0.25kg

Velocity of arrow(va)=12m/s

Mass of target(mt)=6.8kg

Velocity of target(vt)=0 since target is at rest

Conservation of linear momentum says that :

maxva+mtxvt=(ma+mt)V

V=(maxva+mtxvt)/(ma+mt)

V=(0.25x12+6.8x0)/(0.25+6.8)

V=3/(7.05)

V=20/47 meter per second

Plz help..During takeoff a plane accelerates at 4m/s^2 and takes 40s to reach takeoff speed.
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The velocity of the plane at take off is 160 m/s.

The distance travel by the plane in that time is 3200 meter.

Explanation:

Given:

Acceleration, a = 4 m/s²

Time, t = 40 s

u = 0 i .e initial velocity

To Find:

velocity , v = ?

distance , s =?

Solution:

we have first Kinematic equation

v = u + at

∴ v = 0 + 4×40

∴ v = 160 m/s

Now by Third Kinematic equation

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

∴ s = 0 + 0.5 × 4× 40²

∴ s = 3200 meter

A cello string 0.75 m long has a 220 hz fundamental frequency. find the wave speed along the vibrating string. answer in units o
maxonik [38]
For fundamental frequency of a string to occur, the length of the string has to be half the wavelength. That is,

1/2y = L, where L = length of the string, y = wavelength.

Therefore,
y = 2L = 2*0.75 =1.5 m

Additionally,
y = v/f Where v = wave speed, and f = ferquncy

Then,
v = y*f = 1.5*220 = 330 m/s

Suppose that a star has a spectrum that includes red, blue, and violet lines spaced in the pattern of the lines from hydrogen bu
ladessa [460]

Answer:

It can be concluded that the star is moving away from the observer.

Explanation:

Spectral lines will be shifted to the blue part of the spectrum if the source of the observed light is moving  toward the observer, or to the red part of the spectrum when is moving away from the observer (that is known as the Doppler effect).

The wavelength at rest for this case is 434 nm and 410 nm (\lambda_{0} = 434nm, \lambda_{0} = 410nm)

Redshift: \lambda_{measured}  >  \lambda_{0}

Blueshift: \lambda_{measured}  <  \lambda_{0}

Since, \lambda_{measured} (444nm) is greater than \lambda_{0} (434 nm) and \lambda_{measured} (420nm) is greater than \lambda_{0} (410 nm), it can be concluded that the star is moving away from the observer

As you may have experienced yourself, water alone will not remove oil from a dirty dish. Why does soap work to remove oil
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Soap breaks up the oil into smaller drops, which can mix with the water. It works because soap is made up of molecules with two very different ends (one end of molecules are hydrophilic, so they love water; the other end of molecules is hydrophobic, so they hate water).
