Answer:

In the given equation y=Asin(ωt−kx)

Since, trigonometric function is a dimensionless quantity. So, (ωt−kx)is also dimensionless quantity.

So,

(ωt−kx)=1

ωt=1

[ω]= 1=[T] ^−1

[T]

kx=1

[k]= 1=[L]^ −1

How does inertia relate to coin dropping????

vekshin1

Well Inertia means something wants to stay in place, and in reality that coin wants to stay in one place, If you placed it on an index card on a cup, and SLOWLY pulled it, it wouldn't be fast enough to overcome that force, if you pulled it quickly that coin would stay in place and drop into the cup.

A billiard ball of mass m moving with speed v1=1 m/s collides head-on with a second ball of mass 2m which is at rest. What is th

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The velocity of mass 2m is $v_B = 0.67 m/s$

Explanation:

From the question w are told that

The mass of the billiard ball A is =m

The initial speed of the billiard ball A = $v_1$ =1 m/s

The mass of the billiard ball B is = 2 m

The initial speed of the billiard ball B = 0

Let the final speed of the billiard ball A = $v_A$

Let The finial speed of the billiard ball B = $v_B$

According to the law of conservation of Energy

$\frac{1}{2} m (v_1)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (0) ^ 2 = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2$

Substituting values

$\frac{1}{2} m (1)^2 = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2$

Multiplying through by $\frac{1}{2}m$

$1 =v_A^2 + 2 v_B ^2 ---(1)$

According to the law of conservation of Momentum

$mv_1 + 2m(0) = mv_A + 2m v_B$

Substituting values

$m(1) = mv_A + 2mv_B$

Multiplying through by $m$

$1 = v_A + 2v_B ---(2)$

making $v_A$ subject of the equation 2

$v_A = 1 - 2v_B$

Substituting this into equation 1

$(1 -2v_B)^2 + 2v_B^2 = 1$

$1 - 4v_B + 4v_B^2 + 2v_B^2 =1$

$6v_B^2 -4v_B +1 =1$

$6v_B^2 -4v_B =0$

Multiplying through by $\frac{1}{v_B}$

$6v_B -4 = 0$

$v_B = \frac{4}{6}$

$v_B = 0.67 m/s$

Which statement describes a scientific theory?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

A theory changes based on new observations and testing.

Explanation:

A scientific theory is a product of multiple trials and repeated experiments. It usually follows after carefully conducting and testing the validity of the hypothesis.

A scientific theory provides an explanation into how something behaves.

A law just states a finding will not explain it.

Most theories are tenable and can be improved upon when new observations and testing are carried out.

A pendulum has a mass of 3kg and is lifted to a height of .3m. What is the maximum speed of the pendulum

Kryger [21]

Given data

*The given mass of the pendulum is m = 3 kg

*The given height is h = 0.3 m

The formula for the maximum speed of the pendulum is given as

$v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{2gh}$

*Here g is the acceleration due to the gravity

Substitute the values in the above expression as

$\begin{gathered} v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{2\times9.8\times0.3} \\ =2.42\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the maximum speed of the pendulum is 2.42 m/s

Solve this system of equations without graphing and show your reasoning 5x+y=7 20x+2=y

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

5x + y = 7

20x - y = -2

25x = 5

x = (1/5)

5(1/5) + y = 7

1 + y = 7 .

y = 6
