The correct answer is 
<span>C) -10.7 m/s 

In fact, the first rock is moving upward with velocity +4.5 m/s, while the second rock is moving downward with velocity -6.2 m/s, with respect to a fixed reference frame. In the reference frame of the first rock, instead, the second rock is moving with velocity equal to its velocity in the fixed frame minus the velocity of the reference frame of the first rock:
</span>v=-6.2 m/s -(+4.5 m/s) = -10.7 m/s<span>

The magnitude of the weight of a 3.0 kg object on the surface of the earth is 29 N. True False
madreJ [45]
True

In fact, the weight of an object on the surface of the Earth is given by:
F=mg
where m is the mass of the object and g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration on Earth's surface. If we use the mass of the object, m=3.0 kg, we find
F=mg=(3.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=29 N

Two loudspeakers emit 600 Hz Hz notes. One speaker sits on the ground. The other speaker is in the back of a pickup truck. You h
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The truck's speed is 4.04 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Emit frequency = 600 Hz

Beat = 7.00 beat/sec

We need to calculate the truck's speed

Using formula of speed

\text{frequency observed}=\text{frequency emitted}\times\dfrac{v}{v+v_{source}}

Where, v = speed of sound

Put the value into the formula

(600-7)=600\times(\dfrac{343}{343-v_{truck}})

v_{truck}=\dfrac{600\times343-593\times343}{593}

v_{truck}=4.04\ m/s

Hence, The truck's speed is 4.04 m/s.

A soccer player kicks a soccer ball initially at rest setting it in motion at a velocity of 30 m/s. If the ball has a mass of 0.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

 F= 600 N

Explanation:

Given that

Initial velocity ,u= 0 m/s

Final velocity ,v= 30 m/s

mass ,m = 0.5 kg

time ,t= 0.025 s

The change in the linear momentum is given as

ΔP= m (v - u)

ΔP= 0.5 ( 30 - 0 ) kg.m/s

ΔP= 15 kg.m/s

We know that from second law of Newtons

F=\dfrac{dP}{dt}

F=\dfrac{\Delta P}{t}

Now by putting the values

F=\dfrac{15}{0.025}\ N

F= 600 N

You want to photograph a circular diffraction pattern whose central maximum has a diameter of 1.0 cm. You have a helium-neon las
topjm [15]

Answer:

0.776 m far Pinhole should be placed before the viewing screen

Explanation:

For circular aperture of diameter D will have a bright central maximum of diameter, width is given by

w=\frac{2.44 \lambda L}{D}

where \lambda is wavelength of helium neon laser = 633 nm, D=10.cm, w=0.12 mm

Pinhole should be placed before the viewing screen is

L=\frac{wD}{2.44\lambda}\\L=\frac{0.12\times 10^{-3}\times 0 .01}{2.44\times 633 \times 10^{-9}}\\L=0.776 m
