Consider massive gliders that slide friction-free along a horizontal air track. Glider A has a mass of 1 kg, a speed of 1 m/s, a

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

0.167m/s

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum which States that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision. The bodies move with a common velocity after collision.

Given momentum = Maas × velocity.

Momentum of glider A = 1kg×1m/s

Momentum of glider = 1kgm/s

Momentum of glider B = 5kg × 0m/s

The initial velocity of glider B is zero since it is at rest.

Momentum of glider B = 0kgm/s

Momentum of the bodies after collision = (mA+mB)v where;

mA and mB are the masses of the gliders

v is their common velocity after collision.

Momentum = (1+5)v

Momentum after collision = 6v

According to the law of conservation of momentum;

1kgm/s + 0kgm/s = 6v

1 =6v

V =1/6m/s

Their speed after collision will be 0.167m/s

What is the number of electrons that move past a point in a wire carrying 500 A of current in 4.0 minutes

mr Goodwill [35]

The current is defined as the amount of charge Q that passes through a given point of a wire in a time $\Delta t$ :
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}$
Since I=500 A and the time interval is
$\Delta t=4.0 min=240 s$
the charge is
$Q=I \Delta t=(500 A)(240 s)=1.2 \cdot 10^5 C$

One electron has a charge of $q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C$ , therefore the number of electrons that pass a point in the wire during 4 minutes is
$N= \frac{Q}{q}= \frac{1.2 \cdot 10^5 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C}=7.5 \cdot 10^{23}$ electrons

A river flows with a speed of 0.600 m/s. A student first swims upriver 0.500 km, then turns around and returns to his starting p

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

a) 1111.0 seconds

b) 833.3 s

c) Because of proportions

Explanation:

a) Total time of round trip is the sum of time upriver and time downriver

$t_{total}=t_{up}+t_{down}$

Time upriver is calculated with the net speed of student and 0.500 km:

$t_{up}=\frac{d_{istance}}{|v_{swimmer}|} ;\\v_{swimmer}=v_{relative to river}+v_{river}=-1.2+0.6=-0.6 m/s\\t_{up}=\frac{500 m}{0.6 m/s}=833.3 s$

(Becareful with units 0.5 km= 500m) Similarly of downriver:

$t_{down}=\frac{d_{istance}}{|v_{swimmer}|} ;\\v_{swimmer}=1.2+0.6=1.8 m/s\\t_{down}=\frac{500 m}{1.8 m/s}=277.7 s$

So the sum is:

$t_{total}=1111.0s$

b) Still water does not affect student speed, so total time would be simply:

$t_{total}=\frac{1000 m}{1.2 m/s}=833.3 s$

c) For the upriver trip, student moved half the distance in half speed of the calculation in b), so it kept the same ratio and therefore, same time. So the aditional time is actually the downriver.

A car has two horns, one emitting a frequency of 199 hz and the other emitting a frequency of 203 hz. what beat frequency do the

andriy [413]

Beat frequency, fb = |f2-f1|

That is, beat frequency is the absolute difference between two frequencies. Is is as a results of destructive and constructive inferences.

Therefore, in this case:

fb = 203 - 199 = 4 Hz
