Answer:

26 m southwards.

Explanation:

From a North, East, South, West coordinate plane, moving northwards implies positive distance. While moving southwards implies negative distance.

Thus;

It moves 16 meters northward; d = 16 m

It now moves 22 meters southward; d = -22 m

It moves 12 meters northward; d = 12 m

It moves 32 meters southward; d = -32 m

Thus, total magnitude = 16 - 22 + 12 - 32 = -26 m

Thus, the object travels 26 m southwards.

Marcia pokes fun at her husband Brian because he loves to sing in the shower every morning, but

Answer:

Since I can see no choices, I answered it in my own understanding.

Brian - amplitude and frequency

Marcia - amplitude and longitudinal wave

Explanation:

"Sound" and "sound waves" are essential part of a person's life. They can be used for communicating and detecting some objects.

Brian loves singing in the shower which means that he is using a greater amplitude. Amplitude refers to the intensity of the sound or the amount of energy that a sound carries. When one sings in the shower, the sound cannot travel very far. It bounces immediately back to the person singing thus, making the sound bigger. Brian is also using a different range of frequency compared to his normal way of talking. The frequency of a normal male voice is normally 85 to 180 Hz. A person singing may have a frequency as high as 1,500 Hz.

Marcia talks loudly on the phone. This means that she is also using a greater amplitude because the intensity of her voice is big. Since she is using the telephone, this means that her voice travels in a longitudinal wave through the telephone. This allows her voice to reach to the person on the other end of the line.

A 5.30 g bullet moving at 963 m/s strikes a 610 g wooden block at rest on a frictionless surface. The bullet emerges, traveling

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

a) $V_{wf}$ = 4.67m/s

b) V = 8.29 m/s

Explanation:

Givens:

The bullet is 5.30g moving at 963m/s and its speed reduced to 426m/s. The wooden block is 610g.

a) From conservation of linear momentum

Pi = Pf

$m_{b}V{b_{i} } + V_{wi} = m_{w} V_{wf} + m_{b}V_{bf}$

where $m_{b},V{b_{i}$ are the mass and the initial velocity of the bullet, $m_{w}$ and $V_{wi}$ are the mass and the initial velocity of the wooden block, and $V_{wf}$ and $V_{bf}$ are the final velocities of the wooden block and the bullet
