Answer:

a) 0.60 kg cart has final velocity 3.0 m/s [E]

0.80 kg cart has final velocity 4.0 m/s [W]

b) 0.12 m

Explanation:

Take east to be positive.

a) Momentum is conserved.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(0.60) (-5.0) + (0.80) (2.0) = (0.60) v₁ + (0.80) v₂

-1.4 = 0.6 v₁ + 0.8 v₂

Kinetic energy is conserved in elastic collisions.

½ m₁u₁² + ½ m₂u₂² = ½ m₁v₁² + ½ m₂v₂²

m₁u₁² + m₂u₂² = m₁v₁² + m₂v₂²

(0.60) (-5.0)² + (0.80) (2.0)² = (0.60) v₁² + (0.80) v₂²

18.2 = 0.6 v₁² + 0.8 v₂²

Solve the system of equations.

-1.4 = 0.6 v₁ + 0.8 v₂

-1.4 − 0.6 v₁ = 0.8 v₂

-1.75 − 0.75 v₁ = v₂

18.2 = 0.6 v₁² + 0.8 (-1.75 − 0.75 v₁)²

18.2 = 0.6 v₁² + 0.8 (3.0625 +2.625 v₁ + 0.5625 v₁²)

182 = 6 v₁² + 8 (3.0625 + 2.625 v₁ + 0.5625 v₁²)

182 = 6 v₁² + 24.5 + 21 v₁ + 4.5 v₁²

0 = 10.5 v₁² + 21 v₁ − 157.5

0 = v₁² + 2 v₁ − 15

0 = (v₁ − 3) (v₁ + 5)

v₁ = 3 or -5

Since u₁ = -5.0 m/s, v₁ must be 3.0 m/s.

Solving for v₂:

v₂ = -0.75 v₁ − 1.75

v₂ = -4.0 m/s

b) The compression of the spring is a maximum when the carts have the same velocity.

Momentum is conserved.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v

(0.60) (-5.0) + (0.80) (2.0) = (0.60 + 0.80) v

-1.4 = 1.4 v

v = -1.0

Energy is conserved.

½ m₁u₁² + ½ m₂u₂² = ½ (m₁ + m₂) v² + ½ kx²

m₁u₁² + m₂u₂² = (m₁ + m₂) v² + kx²

(0.60) (-5.0)² + (0.80) (2.0)² = (0.60 + 0.80) (-1.0)² + (1200) x²

18.2 = 1.4 + 1200 x²

16.8 = 1200 x²

x² = 0.014

x = 0.12

You hear a sound with a frequency of 256 Hz. The amplitude of the sound increases and decreases periodically: it takes 2 seconds

german

To solve this problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to frequency and period, and how they are related to each other.

The relationship that defines both agreements is given by the equation,

$f_{beat}=\frac{1}{T}$

Then the frequency for the previous period given (2sec) is

$f_{beat}=\frac{1}{2}$

$f_{beat} = 0.5Hz$

The beat frequency of two frequencies is equal to the difference between the two frequencies, then

$f_{beat} = |f_1-f_2|\\f_{beat} = |256Hz-2Hz|\\f_{beat} = 254Hz$

Hence option A is incorrect.

We can do this process for 254Hz as $f_1$ and 258 Hz for $f_2$ , then

$f_{beat} =|254Hz-258Hz|$

$f_{beat} = 4Hz$

Hence option B is incorrect.

We can also do this process for 255Hz as $f_1$ and 257 Hz for $f_2$ , then

$f_{beat} =|255Hz-257Hz|$

$f_{beat} = 2Hz$

Hence option C is incorrect.

We can also do this process for 255.5Hz as f_1 and 256.5 Hz for f_2, then

$f_{beat} =|255.5Hz-256.5Hz|\\f_{beat} = 1Hz$

Hence option D is incorrect.

We can also do this process for 255.75Hz as $f_1$ and 256.25 Hz for $f_2$ , then

$f_{beat} =|255.75Hz-256.25Hz|\\f_{beat} = 0.5Hz$

Hence option E is incorrect.

Therefore the sum of the frequencies in the sound wave would be 256.25Hz and 255.75Hz

Fiora starts riding her bike at 18 mi/h. After a while, she slows down to 12 mi/h, and maintains that speed for the rest of the

lord [1]

Answer:

t = 2.5 hours

Explanation:

given,

speed of the bike for t time= 18 mi/h

final speed of the bike after t time = 12 mi/h

total distance, D = 69 miles

total time, T= 4.5 hour

time for which speed of the bike is 18 mi/h = ?

we know distance = speed x time

now,

18 x t + 12 (4.5 - t) = 69

6 t + 54 = 69

6 t = 15

t = 2.5 hours

The bike was at the speed of 18 mi/h for 2.5 hours.
