One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other wor

ds, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 25 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 3.0 and 8.0 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case when the large-mass object is the one moving initially and the case when the small-mass object is the one moving initially.

Large object moving, small object at rest:

v = 18.18m/s

Small object moving, large object rest:

v= 6.81m/s

Explanation:

p = mv

m1•Vi1 + m2•Vi2 = m1•Vf1 + m2•Vf2

First Scenario (large object moving):

For small object,

p=mv

p= 3kg • 0 = 0

For large object,

p= mv

p= 8kg • 25m/s = 200kg•m/s

Combined,

p1+p2 (small object + large object) = 200m/s

After the collision, there is one mass,

new mass is 8kg + 3kg = 11kg

So now , p = mv again. In this case

200m/s = (11kg)•v

v = (200kg•m/s)/(11kg) = 18.18 m/s

Second Scenario (small object moving):

p1v1 = 3kg•25m/s = 75kg•m/s

p2v2 = 8kg•0 = 0

p1v1 + p2v2 = 75kg•m/s

New mass = 8kg+ 3kg = 11kg

p = mv

75kg•m/s = 11kg•v

v = (75kg•m/s)/11kg = 6.81m/s

A person wears a hearing aid that uniformly increases the sound level of all audible frequencies of sound by 28.1 dB. The hearin
ladessa [460]

Answer:

 I₂ = 2.13 x 10⁻⁸ W/m²

Explanation:

given,

increase in sound level = 28.1 dB

frequency of the sound = 250 Hz

intensity = 3.3 x 10⁻¹¹ W/m²

Intensity delivered = ?

the difference of intensity level is give as

\beta_2-\beta_1 = 10log(\dfrac{I_2}{I_o}) - 10log(\dfrac{I_1}{I_o})

\beta_2-\beta_1 = 10(log(\dfrac{I_2}{I_o}) -log(\dfrac{I_1}{I_o}))

\beta_2-\beta_1 = 10(log(\dfrac{I_2}{I_1})

28.1= 10(log(\dfrac{I_2}{I_1})

log\dfrac{I_2}{I_1}=2.81

\dfrac{I_2}{I_1}=10^{2.81}

 I₂ = 645.65 I₁

 I₂ = 645.65 x 3.3 x 10⁻¹¹

 I₂ = 2.13 x 10⁻⁸ W/m²

On the way to school, the bus speeds up from 20 m/s to 36 m/s in 4 seconds. What distance
Tresset [83]
Answer B. 112 m



Step-by-Step Explanation

initial velocity u = 20 m /s
final velocity v = 36 m /s
time taken t = 4 s
acceleration = (v - U) / t
= (36 - 20) / 4
a=4m/s2
from the formula
7-u2=2as , sis distance covered
putting the values
362-202=2×4×s
1296 - 400 = 8 x S
S= 112 m

A bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes.
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

size of insect = wavelength = 16.1 mm

Explanation:

Since the bat can detect the size of small insects which are of size equal to the wavelength of sound in air

So here we can say that the wavelength of sound is the ratio of speed of sound and its frequency

here we know that

speed of sound in air is 536 m/s

frequency of sound is 33.3 kHz

so here we can say

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

\lambda = \frac{536}{33.3 \times 10^3}

\lambda = 0.0161 m

\lambda = 16.1 mm

If a person is 6.25 m away from a 60.0 w speaker, what is the sound level they are hearing?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

110.87 dB

Explanation:

(I got it right on Acellus)

I= P/4(pi)r^2 = 60/4(pi)6.25^2

60/4(pi)6.25^2=0.12223

B=10log(I/Io)

B=10log(0.12223/1*10^-12) = 110.87 dB
