How do velocities combine

Physics

Answer:

They combine if they have the same units

Explanation:

I am not quite sure what you mean by this question. I will try my best to answer this.

Velocities combine only if they both have the same units. The linear velocities have the unit meters per second. For example, a linear velocity and an angular velocity cannot combine together because angular velocity has a unit of radians per second.

How is the wavelength of a longitudinal wave determined?

astraxan [27]

Answer:

Wavelength can always be found by measuring the distance between any two corresponding points on adjacent waves. In the case of a longitudinal wave, a wavelength measurement is made by measuring the distance from a compression to the next compression or from a rarefaction to the next rarefaction.

When a 2.40-kg object is hung vertically on a certain light spring described by Hooke's law, the spring stretches 2.92 cm.(a) Wh

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

805.48N/m

Explanation:

According to Hookes law

F = Ke

F is the force = mg

F = 2.4×9.8 = 23.52N

e is the extension = 2.92cm = 0.0292m

Force constant K = F/e

K = 23.52/0.0292

K = 805.48N/m

Hence the force constant of the spring is 805.48N/m

Five hundred joules of heat are added to a closed system. The initial internal energy of the system is 87 J, and the final inter

Aleonysh [2.5K]

We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:

$\Delta U= Q-W$

where

$\Delta U$ is the variation of internal energy of the system

Q is the heat added to the system

W is the work done by the system

In this problem, the variation of internal energy of the system is

$\Delta U=U_f-U_i=134 J-87 J=47 J$

While the heat added to the system is

$Q=500 J$

therefore, the work done by the system is

$W=Q-\Delta U=500 J-47 J=453 J$

A boy pushes a cart with a constant velocity of 0.5m/s by applying a force of 60 N. What is the total frictional force acting on

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

60N

Explanation:

in this case the minimum amount of force required must be equal to the friction Force. i.e Newton's first law of motion.

therefore the maximum amount of frictional force is equal to the applied force which is 60N.

because of the net force acting on the object is zero the object is in constant motion . i.e equal and opposite force must be applied so that the object is in constant velocity therefore the total frictional force must be 60N
