The atoms in a solid move about freely

1 answer:

6 0

No, not exactly. They jiggle and tremble and vibrate a lot, but
they always basically stay in very nearly the same place.

It's like if you're allowed to go anywhere you want in your jail cell,
you wouldn't exactly call that "moving about freely".

What happen as waves travel and objects in their path move?

Cerrena [4.2K]

Do you mean when objects move as a direct result of the passing wave? Waves have energy and constitute a force, just like wind. Therefore that force is able to move objects in its path.

A 5.92 g object moving to the right at 17.1 cm/s makes an elastic head-on collision with an 11.84 g object that is initially at

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

v₁f = -5.7 cm/s

Explanation:

Assuming no external forces acting during the collision, total momentum must be conserved, as follows:

$m_{1} * v_{10} = m_{1} *v_{1f} + m_{2} * v_{2f} (1)$

Rearranging terms, we have:

$m_{1} * (v_{10} - *v_{1f} ) = m_{2} * v_{2f} (2)$

We also know that the collision is elastic, so total kinetic energy must be conserved , as follows:

$\Delta K = 0 \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} * m_{1} *v_{10} ^{2} = \frac{1}{2}* m_{1} *v_{1f} ^{2} + \frac{1}{2}* m_{2} *v_{2f} ^{2} (3)$

Rearranging , and simplifying common terms, we have:

$m_{1}* (v_{10} ^{2} -v_{1f} ^{2} ) = m_{2} *v_{2f} ^{2} (4)$

Replacing by the givens, doing some algebra and dividing (4) by (2), we find the following relationship:

$v_{10} + v_{1f} = v_{2f}$

Replacing the expression above in (1), as m₂ = 2*m₁, we can find the value of v₁f, as follows:

$m_{1} * v_{10} = m_{1} * v_{1f} +2*m_{1} * (v_{10} + v_{1f})\\ \\ -(m_{1} * v_{10}) = 3* m_{1} *v_{1f} \\ \\ v_{1f} = - \frac{v_{10} }{3} = \frac{-17.1cm/s}{3} = -5.7 cm/s$

pashok25 [27]

The 3 major parts of the cell are :
Plasma Membrane - the outer covering of the cell that encloses the cytoplasm.
Cytoplasm - the jelly like matrix within the cell that contains the various organelles.
Nucleus - round and usually centrally placed structure that controls the various activities of the cell.
