The body senses whether it is upright or lying down or whether it is moving or standing still through the vestibular system, which is in the upper portion of the inner ear.

A 3.0-kg object moves to the right with a speed of 2.0 m/s. It collides in a perfectly elastic collision with a 6.0-kg object mo

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the system after the collision is 9 J.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of object 1, m₁ = 3 kg

Speed of object 1, v₁ = 2 m/s

Mass of object 2, m₂ = 6 kg

Speed of object 2, v₂ = -1 m/s (it is moving in left)

Since, the collision is elastic. The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is equal to the kinetic energy of the system after the collision. Let it is E. So,

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_1^2$

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\ kg\times (2\ m/s)^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6\ kg\times (-1\ m/s)^2$

E = 9 J

So, the kinetic energy of the system after the collision is 9 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

A block is projected up a frictionless inclined plane with initial speed v0 = 1.72 m/s. The angle of incline is θ = 44.8°. (a) H

Snowcat [4.5K]

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity(v_0)=1.72 m/s

$\theta =44.8{\circ}$

using $v^2-u^2=2as$

Where v=final velocity (Here v=0)

u=initial velocity(1.72 m/s)

a=acceleration $(gsin\theta )$

s=distance traveled

$0-(1.72)^2=2(-9.81\times sin(44.8))s$

s=0.214 m

(b)time taken to travel 0.214 m

v=u+at

$0=1.72-gsin(44.8)\times t$

$t=\frac{1.72}{9.8\times sin(44.8)}$

t=0.249 s

(c)Speed of the block at bottom

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Here u=0 as it started coming downward

$v^2=2\times gsin(44.8)\times 0.214$

$v=\sqrt{2.985}$

v=1.72 m/s

James and Juan were at the highest point in the football stadium, dropping water balloons on people below. Many of the balloons

Fofino [41]

When you add more water to the balloon, it makes it heavier. Therefore it would weigh the balloon down ( increasing mass) and increasing the energy to plummet down. So the answer is B.

A car changes its speed by 2 meters per second each second. What is its acceleration?

KatRina [158]

Answer:

2 m/s²

Explanation:

If changes speed by 2 meters per second each second means:

2 m/s²

Because it changes constantly it veloctity.

Remember the aceleration changes the velocity.

List the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength:(i) the gamma rays produced by a radioac

Naddik [55]

Answer:

In order of increasing wavelength, the answer is:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

(v) The red light of a light emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680kHz on the dial

Explanation:

First, you have to know that the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave traveling at a constant speed is given by:

λ $= \frac{v}{f}$

Where λ is the wavelength, $v$ is the constant speed and $f$ is the wave's frequency. In the case of electromagnetic radiation in free space, the constant speed is the speed of light.

From explained above, you can conclude that there is a proportionality relationship between the wavelength and the frequency, they are inversely proportional. That means: the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength and vice-versa.

So, you have the following types:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

Frequency : Typically greater than $10^{19}$ Hz

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

Frequency: 93.1 MHz

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680 kHz on the dial

Frequency: 680 kHz

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 508 - 526 THz

(v) The red light of a light-emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 400 - 484 THz

Then, you have to organize them from the highest frequency to the smallest one (decreasing frequency), and as the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength, you are going to have it organized in an increasing wavelength mode.

Then in order of increasing wavelength, the answer will be:

(i) , (iv), (v), (ii), (iii)
