A 10 kg mass rests on a table. What acceleration will be generated when a force of 5 N is applied? a 0.5 m/s2 b 3.5 m/s2 c 5 m/s
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a= 0.5m/s^2

Explanation:

Force applied on an object is known as

F=m.a  (Newton's second law states it)

a=F/m

a=5/10=0.5m/s^2

A 10-kg package drops from chute into a 25-kg cart with a velocity of 3 m/s. The cart is initially at rest and can roll freely w
amid [387]

Answer:

(a) the final velocity of the cart is 0.857 m/s

(b) the impulse experienced by the package is 21.43 kg.m/s

(c) the fraction of the initial energy lost is 0.71

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the package, m₁ = 10 kg

mass of the cart, m₂ = 25 kg

initial velocity of the package, u₁ = 3 m/s

initial velocity of the cart, u₂ = 0

let the final velocity of the cart = v

(a) Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine common final velocity for ineleastic collision;

m₁u₁  + m₂u₂ = v(m₁  +  m₂)

10 x 3   + 25 x 0   = v(10  +  25)

30  = 35v

v = 30 / 35

v = 0.857 m/s

(b) the impulse experienced by the package;

The impulse = change in momentum of the package

J = ΔP = m₁v - m₁u₁

J = m₁(v - u₁)

J = 10(0.857 - 3)

J = -21.43 kg.m/s

the magnitude of the impulse experienced by the package = 21.43 kg.m/s

(c)

the initial kinetic energy of the package is calculated as;

K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} mu_1^2\\\\K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times (3)^2\\\\K.E_i = 45 \ J\\\\

the final kinetic energy of the package;

K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} (m_1 + m_2)v^2\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} \times (10 + 25) \times 0.857^2\\\\K.E_f = 12.85 \ J

the fraction of the initial energy lost;

= \frac{\Delta K.E}{K.E_i} = \frac{45 -12.85}{45} = 0.71

As frequency increases, what happens to the tone (or pitch) of a sound? Which option is it?
icang [17]

Answer:

gets higher

Explanation:

There are videos that show the range of human hearing.  If you would play the video, you would notice that if the frequency increases, the pitch would also increase.
