In a closed system with no friction, a red sphere of 2.5 kg stands stationary. A blue sphere with a mass of 5.8 kg approaches th

e first sphere with a speed of 4.1 m/s. The two collide. After the collision, the blue sphere begins moving forward with a speed of 1.3 m/s. What is the velocity of the red sphere after the collision? (Show all work)

Answer:

m1 = the mass of the blue sphere = 5.8 kg

m2 = the mass of the red sphere = 2.5 kg

v1 = initial velocity of the blue sphere before the collision = 4.1 m/s

v2 = initial velocity of the red sphere before the collision = 0 m/s

v'1 = final velocity of the blue sphere after the collision = 1.3 m/s

v'2 = final velocity of the red sphere after the collision = ?

using conservation of momentum

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v'1 + m2v'2

(5.8) (4.1) + (2.5) (0) = (5.8) (1.3) + (2.5) (v'2)

23.78 = 7.54 + (2.5) (v'2)

-7.54    -7.54

16.24 = (2.5) v'2

---------   -----------

 2.5         2.5

v'2 = 6.5

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

In a lab, a student drags a shoe across the floor at constant speed. If the coefficient of static friction between the floor and
Svetllana [295]
<span>B) 0.6 N
   I suspect you have a minor error in your question. Claiming a coefficient of static friction of 0.30N is nonsensical. Putting the Newton there is incorrect. The figure of 0.25 for the coefficient of kinetic friction looks OK. So with that correction in mind, let's solve the problem. The coefficient of static friction is the multiplier to apply to the normal force in order to start the object moving. And the coefficient of kinetic friction (which is usually smaller than the coefficient of static friction) is the multiplied to the normal force in order to keep the object moving. You've been given a normal force of 2N, so you need to multiply the coefficient of static friction by that in order to get the amount of force it takes to start the shoe moving. So: 0.30 * 2N = 0.6N And if you look at your options, you'll see that option "B" matches exactly.</span>
