Answer:

yes, though the speed may stay constant, the direction will change. so for example, you're going 70mph on the freeway, but you have to take the exit on your right (the exit continues on to a different freeway), you're not going to speed up or slow down, you'll change your direction which is still accelerating.

Gayle runs at a speed of 3.85 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After s

enot [183]

Answer:

Final velocity at the bottom of hill is 15.56 m/s.

Explanation:

The given problem can be divided into four parts:

1. Use conservation of momentum to determine the speed of the combined mass (Gayle and sled)

From the law of conservation of momentum (perfectly inelastic collision), the combined velocity is given as:

$p_i = p_f$

$m_1u_1 + m_2v_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v$

$v = \frac{(m_1u_1 + m_2v_2)}{(m_1 + m_2)}$

$v=\frac{[50.0\ kg)(3.85\ m/s) + 0]}{(50.0\ kg + 5.00\ kg)}= 3.5\ m/s$

2. Use conservation of energy to determine the speed after traveling a vertical height of 5 m.

The velocity of Gayle and sled at the instant her brother jumps on is found from the law of conservation of energy:

$E(i) = E(f)$

$KE(i) + PE(i) = KE(f) + PE(f)$

$0.5mv^2(i) + mgh(i) = 0.5mv^2(f) + mgh(f)$

$v(f) = \sqrt{[v^2(i) + 2g(h(i) - h(f))]}$

Here, initial velocity is the final velocity from the first stage. Therefore:

$v(f) = \sqrt{[(3.5)^2+2(9.8)(5.00-0)]}= 10.5\ m/s$

3. Use conservation of momentum to find the combined speed of Gayle and her brother.

Given:

Initial velocity of Gayle and sled is, $u_1(i)=10.5$ m/s

Initial velocity of her brother is, $u_2(i)=0$ m/s

Mass of Gayle and sled is, $m_1=55.0$ kg

Mass of her brother is, $m_2=30.0$ kg

Final combined velocity is given as:

$v(f) = \frac{[m_1u_1(i) + m_2u_2(i)]}{(m_1 + m_2)}$

$v(f)=\frac{[(55.0)(10.5) + 0]}{(55.0+30.0)}= 6.79$ m/s

4. Finally, use conservation of energy to determine the final speed at the bottom of the hill.

Using conservation of energy, the final velocity at the bottom of the hill is:

$E(i) = E(f)$

$KE(i) + PE(i) = KE(f) + PE(f)$

$0.5mv^2(i) + mgh(i) = 0.5mv^2(f) + mgh(f)$

$v(f) = \sqrt{[v^2(i) + 2g(h(i) - h(f))]} \\v(f)=\sqrt{[(6.79)^2 + 2(9.8)(15 - 5.00)]}\\v(f)= 15.56\ m/s$

A sinusoidal wave is traveling along a rope. The oscillator that generates the wave completes 40.0 vibrations in 30.0s . A given

Phantasy [73]

From the solution that I have done, the wavelength in the question that we have is 31.88 cm

<h3>How to solve for the wavelength</h3>

The frequency in the question is given as 40/30 = 1.33 hz

Next we have to solve for V

= 425/10

= 42.5 cm/s

v = frequency * wavelength

we have to put in the values in the formula. This would be

42.5 = 1.33 x wavelength

we have to divide through by 1.33 to get the wavelength. This would be

42.5/1.333 = wavelength

31.88 cm = wavelength

Hence we can say that the wavelength in the question that we have here is 31.88 cm

The human ear canal is about 2.8 cm long. If it is regarded as a tube that is open at one end and closed at the eardrum, what is

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

f = 3.1 kHz

Explanation:

given,

length of human canal =2.8 cm = 0.028 m

speed of sound = 343 m/s

fundamental frequency = ?

The fundamental frequency of a tube with one open end and one closed end is,

$f = \dfrac{v}{4L}$

$f = \dfrac{343}{4\times 0.028}$

$f = \dfrac{343}{0.112}$

f = 3062.5 Hz

f = 3.1 kHz

hence, the fundamental frequency is equal to f = 3.1 kHz

A ship travels with velocity given by 12, with current flowing in the direction given by 11 with respect to some co-ordinate axe

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

$v_x = 11.78 m/s$

Explanation:

Velocity of the ship is given as

$v = 12 units$

the direction of the velocity of the ship is making an angle of 11 degree with the current

so we will have two components of the velocity

1) along the direction of the current

2) perpendicular to the direction of the current

so here we know that the component of the ship velocity along the direction of the current is given as

$v_x = v cos\theta$

$v_x = 12 cos11$

$v_x = 11.78 m/s$
