Two manned satellites approach one another at a relative velocity of v=0.190 m/s, intending to dock. The first has a mass of m1=

4.00×103 kg and the second a mass of m2=7.50×103 kg. If the two satellites collide elastically rather than dock, what is their final relative velocity?

Answer:

Their final relative velocity is 0.190 m/s

Explanation:

The relative velocity of the satellites, v = 0.190 m/s

The mass of the first satellite, m₁ = 4.00 × 10³ kg

The mass of the second satellite, m₂ = 7.50 × 10³ kg

Given that the satellites have elastic collision, we have;

v_2 = \dfrac{2 \cdot m_1}{m_1 + m_2} \cdot u_1 - \dfrac{m_1 - m_2}{m_1 + m_2} \cdot u_2

v_2 = \dfrac{ m_1 - m_2}{m_1 + m_2} \cdot u_1 + \dfrac{2 \cdot m_2}{m_1 + m_2} \cdot u_2

Given that the initial velocities are equal in magnitude, we have;

u₁ = u₂ = v/2

u₁ = u₂ = 0.190 m/s/2 = 0.095 m/s

v₁ and v₂ = The final velocities of the satellites

We get;

v_1 = \dfrac{2 \times 4.0 \times 10^3}{4.0 \times 10^3 + 7.50 \times 10^3} \times 0.095 - \dfrac{4.0 \times 10^3- 7.50\times 10^3}{4.0 \times 10^3+ 7.50\times 10^3} \times 0.095 = 0.095

v_2 = \dfrac{ 4.0 \times 10^3 - 7.50\times 10^3}{4.0 \times 10^3 + 7.50 \times 10^3} \times 0.095 + \dfrac{2 \times 7.50\times 10^3}{4.0 \times 10^3+ 7.50\times 10^3} \times 0.095 = 0.095

The final relative velocity of the satellite, v_f = v₁ + v₂

∴ v_f = 0.095 + 0.095 = 0.190

The final relative velocity of the satellite, v_f = 0.190 m/s

Why does the output of a microphone increase as the frequency of the sound waves which it receives increases
Sloan [31]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The frequency of sound waves received by the microphone influences the output or pitch of the sound obtained from the microphone.

The higher the frequency of the sound received by the microphone, the higher the output of the microphone and vice versa. This is because, the higher the frequency of sound, the higher the oscillations produced and the greater the output of the microphone.

The rise and fall in the pitch of sound waves as the frequency of sound waves varies is called inflection.

Steel blocks A and B, which have equal masses, are at TA = 300 oC and T8 = 400 oC. Block C, with mc - 2mA, is at TC = 350 oC. Bl
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

b) TA = TB = TC

Explanation:

  • When put in contact each other, and isolated, both blocks will exchange heat till they reach to thermal equilibrium.
  • During this process, the body at a higher temperature, will loss heat, tat it will be gained by the other body.
  • The equilibrium condition will be reached when the following equation be met:

       \Delta Q = c_{st}* m_{A} * (T_{fin}  - T_{0A} ) = c_{st}* m_{B} * (T_{0B}  - T_{fin} )

  • Replacing by the values of T₀A = 300º C, and T₀B = 400ºC, and simplifying common terms as mA = mB, we can solve for  Tfin, as follows:

       (400 \ºC - T_{fin}) = (T_{fin} - 300 \ºC) \\ \\  2* T_{fin} = 700\ºC\\ \\ T_{fin} = 350\ºC

  • So, when both blocks reach to equilibrium, they will be at a common final temperature, 350ºC.
  • When put in contact with block C, at the same temperature, at that instant, the three blocks will have the same common temperature of 350 ºC.
  • So, option b) is the right one.
