The speed of sound at sea level is 340.29 m/s (meters per seconds).
Answer: What do you need help with?
Explanation:
Answer:
Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of helium ,m₁ = 4 u
u₁=598 m/s
Mass of oxygen ,m₂ = 32 u
u₂ = 401 m/s
v₂ =445 m/s
Given that initially both are moving in the same direction and lets take they are moving in the right direction.
Speed of the helium after collision = v₁
There is no any external force on the masses that is why the linear momentum will be conserve.
Initial linear momentum = Final linear momentum
P = m v
m₁u₁+m₂u₂ = m₁v₁+m₂v₂
598 x 4 + 32 x 401 = 4 x v₁+ 32 x 445
v₁ = 246 m/s
Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s
here we will use the concept of Newton's III law
as per Newton's III law the impulse given to the ball is same as the impulse lost by the bat
So here we will say
impulse gain by the ball = impulse lost by the bat
given that
For ball the change in speed will be
now from above equation
so speed of bat will decrease by 6.72 mph
