Answer:using Newton third law

Let initial velocity of block be u1=3m/s

Mass of moving block m1 =1kg

Final velocity of block =V

Mass of stationary block m2= 4kg

Since they stick together, their final velocity will be the same.

m1u1 + m2u2=(m1+m2)v

(1*3)+(0*4)=(1+4)v

3=5v

Divide both sides by 5

V=0.6

Final velocity is 0.6m/s

Which of the following statements concerning the lab is TRUE?
Over [174]

Answer:

(b) To get m3 to slide, m1 must be increased, never decreased.

Explanation:

Lab experiments require attentiveness. If there is one thing missed or not taken seriously whole experiment could go wrong. In this case to slide m3 there should be more weight at m1. If the weight of m1 is lesser than m3 then the object will not slide. It will remain at the point where there is more weight. To slide an object there must be less frictional surface and more weight placed at the desired end point.

"a musical tone sounded on a piano has a frequency of 261.6 hz and a wavelength of 1.31 m. what is the speed of the sound wave
Andreyy89
To solve this question, we use the wave equation which is:
C=f*λ
where:
C is the speed;
f is the frequency;
λ is the wavelength
So in this case, plugging in our values in the problem. This will give us:
C = 261.6Hz × 1.31m
= 342.696 m/s is the answer.
