The sound wave that travels through the air is a longitudinal mechanical compression wave. The energy it carries comes from the kinetic energy of the fallen book.

The sound wave that travel through the are is called the <em>amplitude</em> or <em>frequency you can use either of them because there both correct.</em>

An ice-skater is moving at a constant velocity across an icy pond, The skater throws a snowball directly ahead.
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

(D) It is equal to the original velocity of the skater.

Explanation:

The velocity of the center of mass of a system is

\vec{v}_{cm} = \frac{m1\vec{v}_1 + m_2\vec{v}_2}{m_1 + m_2}

The velocity of the center of mass is constant if there is no external force, because the total momentum of the whole system is conserved.

So, before the snowball is thrown, the velocity of the center of mass is equal to that of the skater. This velocity will always be equal to the velocity of the center of mass of the system.

A particle that is moving along a straight line accelerates from 40 cm/s to 20 cm/s in 5.0 s and then has a constant acceleratio
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Average speed,  v_{avg}=43.33\ \rm cm/s

Explanation:

Given:

  • Initial speed, u=40 cm/s
  • final speed , v=20 cm/s
  • Time taken, t=5 s

<u>First case</u>

Using equation of motion we have

2as=v^2-u^2\\2as=20^2-40^2\\as=-600\\

Now using,

v=u +at\\20=40+a\times5\\a=-4\ \rm cm/s^2

now putting the value of a in first equation we get

s=150\ \rm cm

<u>Second case</u>

Accelerationa=20\ \rm cm/s^2

Time taken t=4\ \rm s

using equation of motion in one Dimension we have

s=ut+\dfrac{at^2}{2}\\\\s=20\ties 4+\dfrac{20\times 4^2}{2}\\s=240\ \rm cm

Average speed is equal to total distance travelled per unit total time taken

v_{avg}=\dfrac{150+240}{5+4}\\v_{avg}=43.33\ \rm cm/s

A mole runs 10 meters due East, then runs 9 meters due South, then runs 3 meters due North. The mole then burrows 2 meters down
Vladimir [108]

Let the directions are defined by vectors as following

East = + x direction

West = - x direction

North = + y direction

South = - y direction

upwards = + z direction

downwards = - z direction

So here we are given that it moves

1). 10 m East

2). 9 m South

3). 3 m North

4). 2 m down

So we can write it as

d_1 = 10 \hat i

d_2 = 9 (-\hat j)

d_3 = 3 \hat j

d_4 = 2 (-\hat k)

Now total displacement will be given as

d = d_1 + d_2 + d_3 +d_4

d = 10 \hat i - 9 \hat j + 3 \hat j - 2 \hat k

d = 10 \hat i - 6 \hat j - 2 \hat k

now the magnitude of the displacement will be

d = \sqrt{10^2 + 6^2 + 2^2}

d = 11.8 m

so the magnitude of displacement will be 11.8 m
