Explanation:

Given:

m1 = 0.55 kg

m2 = 0.45 kg

vi1 = +5.8 m/a

vi2 = -3.9 m/a

Solve for V

m1vi1 + m2vi2 = (m1 + m2)V

(0.55 kg)(+5.8 m/s) + (0.45 kg)(-3.9 m/s) = (0.55 + 0.45)V

V = +1.46 m/a

This means that the combined mass after the collision is moving to the right at 1.46 m/s

An example of a high explosive is what?
nordsb [41]
The answer is Dynamite.
Explosive, any substance or device that can be made to produce a volume of rapidly expanding gas in an extremely brief period. Chemical explosives are of two types; detonating, or high explosives and deflagrating, or low, explosives. Detonating explosives, such as TNT and dynamite, are characterized by extremely rapid decomposition and development of high pressure, whereas deflagrating explosives, such as black and smokeless powders, involve merely fast burning and produce relatively low pressures.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Velocity, v = 0.239 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two consecutive nodes of a standing wave is 20.9 cm = 0.209 m

The hand generating the pulses moves up and down through a complete cycle 2.57 times every 4.47 s.

For a standing wave, the distance between two consecutive nodes is equal to half of the wavelength.

\dfrac{\lambda}{2}=0.209\ m\\\\\lambda=0.418\ m

Frequency is number of cycles per unit time.

f=\dfrac{2.57}{4.47}\\\\f=0.574\ Hz

Now we can find the velocity of the wave.

Velocity = frequency × wavelength

v = 0.574 × 0.418

v = 0.239 m/s

So, the velocity of the wave is 0.239 m/s.
