Kali left school and traveled toward her friend's house at an average speed of 40 km/h. Matt left one hour later and traveled in

the opposite direction with an average speed of 50 km/h. Find the number of hours Matt needs to travel before they are 400 km apart.

Answer:

t = 5 hr

Explanation:

Let kali moves toward east with velocity= V₁= 40 km/ h

Mat moves toward west with velocity = V₂= 50 km/hr

As Klai left one hour earlier = t₁= 1 hr

distance traveled in 1st hour = s₁ = v * t = 40 * 1 = 40 km

Remaining distance = 400 - 40 = 360 km

As they move in the opposite directions:

Relative speed= 40 + 50 = 90 km/ h

s = v * t

⇒ t = s / v

⇒ t₂ = 360 / 90

⇒ t₂ = 4 hr

Total time = t = t₁ + t₂

t = 1 hr + 4 hr

t = 5 hr

Answer:

Explanation:

At the time when they are 400 meters apart, the total distance that Kali and matt would have covered is 400 meters.

Kali left school and traveled toward her friend's house at an average speed of 40 km/h. Let t represent the time it took Kali to travel before they are 400 meters apart.

Distance = speed × time

Therefore, distance covered by Kali would be 40 × t = 40t

Matt left one hour later and traveled in the opposite direction with an average speed of 50 km/h. The time that Matt spent travelling would be t - 1. Therefore, distance travelled by Matt would be 50(t - 1)

Since the sum of their distances is 400 km, then,

40t + 50t - 50 = 400

90t - 50 = 400

90t = 450

t = 450/90 = 5

the number of hours Matt needs to travel before they are 400 km apart would be

t - 1 = 5 - 1 = 4 hours

Two identical loudspeakers 2.00 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi
ki77a [65]

Answer:

The lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible is 1307.69 Hz

Explanation:

From the question, Abby is standing 5.00m in front of one of the speakers, perpendicular to the line joining the speakers.

First, we will determine his distance from the second speaker using the Pythagorean theorem

l₂ = √(2.00²+5.00²)

l₂ = √4+25

l₂ = √29

l₂ = 5.39 m

Hence, the path difference is

ΔL = l₂ - l₁

ΔL = 5.39 m - 5.00 m

ΔL = 0.39 m

From the formula for destructive interference

ΔL = (n+1/2)λ

where n is any integer and λ is the wavelength

n = 1 in this case, the lowest possible frequency corresponds to the largest wavelength, which corresponds to the smallest value of n.

Then,

0.39 = (1+ 1/2)λ

0.39 = (3/2)λ

0.39 = 1.5λ

∴ λ = 0.39/1.5

λ = 0.26 m

From

v = fλ

f = v/λ

f = 340 / 0.26

f = 1307.69 Hz

Hence, the lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible is 1307.69 Hz.

A block (6 kg) initially compresses spring #1 (k = 2000 N/m) by 60 cm from its equilibrium point. When the block is released, it
mart [117]

Answer:

block K = 29.39 J and spring #1   Ke = 360 J

Explanation:

In this problem we have that the elastic energy of the spring becomes part kinetic energy and the part in work against the force of friction, so, to use the law of conservation of energy, the decrease in energy is the rubbing force work

        W_{fr}= Ef - E₀

Let's look for the energies

Initial

        E₀ = Ke = ½ k₁  x₁²

Final, this is just before starting to compress the spring

        Ef = Ke = ½ m v²

The work of the rubbing force is

       W_{fr}= -fr x

Let's write Newton's second law the y axis

       N-W = 0

      N = W

      fr = μ N

      fr = μ mg

Let's replace

      -μ mg x = ½ m v² - ½ k₁ x₁²

       v² = 2/m (½ k₁ x1₁² -μ mg x)

       v² = 2/6  (½ 2000 0.6²2 - 0.5  6  9.8 1) = 1/3 (360 - 29.4)

       v = 3.13 m / s

With this value we calculate the energy of the block

       K = ½ m v²

       K = ½  6  3.13²

       K = 29.39 J

Calculate eenrgy of the spring ke 1

      Ke = ½ k₁ x₁²

      Ke = ½ 2000 0.60²

      Ke = 360 J
