Average speed can be represented by the mathematical expression

nevsk [136]

Average speed is defined as total distance moved in total interval of time

so it is given as

$v_{avg} = \frac{distance}{time}$

now here is we show distance by "d" and time by"t"

then we will have mathematical expression as follows

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

John and Linda are arguing about the definition of density. John says the density of an object is proportional to itsmass. Linda

NeX [460]

Answer:

They are both correct.

Explanation:

The density of an object is defined as the ratio of its mass to its volume. This implies that the density of the object is both proportional to the mass and also to the volume of the object. John only mentioned mass which is correct. Linda mentioned the second variable on which density depends which is the volume of the object.

Hence considering the both statements objectively, one can say that they are both correct.

For a body to be in SHM, the restoring force must be __________ to displacement from equilibrium.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Proportional

Explanation:

The conditions that must be met to produce SHM are;

-The restoring force must be proportional to the displacement and act opposite to the direction of motion with no drag forces or friction.

- The frequency of oscillation does not depend on the amplitude.

Some hypothetical alloy is composed of 12.5 wt% of metal A and 87.5 wt% of metal B. If the densities of metals A and B are 4.27

densk [106]

Answer:

The number of atoms in the unit cell is 2, the crystal structure for the alloy is body centered cubic.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of metal A = 12.5%

Weight of metal B = 87.5%

Length of unit cell = 0.395 nm

Density of A = 4.27 g/cm³

Density of B= 6.35 g/cm³

Weight of A = 61.4 g/mol

Weight of B = 125.7 g/mol

We need to calculate the density of the alloy

Using formula of density

$\rho=n\times\dfrac{m}{V_{c}\times N_{A}}$

$n=\dfrac{\rho\timesV_{c}\times N}{m}$ ....(I)

Where, n = number of atoms per unit cells

m = Mass of the alloy

V=Volume of the unit cell

N = Avogadro number

We calculate the density of alloy

$\rho=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{12.5}{4.27}+\dfrac{87.5}{6.35}}\times100$

$\rho=5.98$

We calculate the mass of the alloy

$m=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{12.5}{61.4}+\dfrac{87.5}{125.7}}\times100$

$m=111.15$

Put the value into the equation (I)

$n=\dfrac{5.9855\times(0.395\times10^{-9}\times10^{2})^3\times6.023\times10^{23}}{111.15}$

$n=1.99\approx 2\ atoms/cell$

Hence, The number of atoms in the unit cell is 2, the crystal structure for the alloy is body centered cubic.

A 0.50-kg red cart is moving rightward with a speed of 40 cm/s when it collides

lukranit [14]

The momentum of the red cart before the collision is 0.2 kgm/s and the blue cart is 0.

The momentum of the red cart after the collision is 0.05 kgm/s and the blue cart is 0.15 kgm/s.

The change in momentum of the system of the carts is 0.

<h3>Initial momentum of the carts before collision</h3>

The momentum of the carts before the collision is calculated as follows;

P(red) = 0.5 kg x 0.4 m/s = 0.2 kgm/s

P(blue) = 1.5 x 0 = 0

<h3>Momentum of the carts after collision</h3>

The momentum of the carts after the collision is calculated as follows;

P(red) = 0.5 x 0.1 = 0.05 kgm/s

P(blue) = 1.5 0.1 = 0.15 kgm/s

<h3>Change in momentum of the carts</h3>

$\Delta P = P_f - P_i$

ΔP = (0.05 + 0.15) - (0.2)

ΔP = 0
