Answer:

possible answer from edge

Explanation:

After World War II the only coal available to burn residentially, either for cooking or warmth, was of poor quality and contained large amounts of contaminants that made its fumes toxic. So when millions of homes in London burned this low quality coal and the local atmosphere over and around London stagnated, there was nowhere for the fumes to go. This stagnation allowed the toxic coal fumes to build up until they became physically harmful to humans and animals.

Car A hits car B (initially at rest and of equal mass) frombehind while going 35 m/s. Immediately after the collision, car Bmove

kolezko [41]

Answer:

The fraction of kinetic energy lost in the collision in term of the initial energy is 0.49.

Explanation:

As the final and initial velocities are known it is possible then the kinetic energy is possible to calculate for each instant.

By definition, the kinetic energy is:

k = 0.5*mV^2

Expressing the initial and final kinetic energy for cars A and B:

$ki=0.5*maVa_{i}^2+0.5*mbVb_{i}^2$

$kf=0.5*maVa_{f}^2+0.5*mbVb_{f}^2$

Since the masses are equals:

$m=ma=mb$

For the known velocities, the kinetics energies result:

$ki=0.5*mVa_{i}^2$

$ki=0.5*m(35 m/s)^2=612.5m^2/s^2*m$

$kf=0.5*mbVb_{f}^2$

$kf=0.5*m(25 m/s)^2=312.5m^2/s^2*m$

The lost energy in the collision is the difference between the initial and final kinectic energies:

$kl=ki-kf$

$kl = 612.5m^2/s^2*m-312.5 m^2/s^2*m=300 m^2/s^2*m$

Finally the relation between the lost and the initial kinetic energy:

$kl/ki = 300 m^2/s^2 * m / 612.5 m^2/s^2 * m$

$kl/ki = 24/49=0.49$

A sinusoidal sound wave moves through a medium and is described by the displacement wave function

labwork [276]

By applying the wave equation we know that the displacement on the y-axis is 1.999 micrometers.

We need to know about wave equations to solve this problem. The displacement of the wave on the y-axis can be explained by the wave equation

y = A cos (kx - ωt)

where y is y-axis displacement, A is amplitude, k is wave number, x is x-axis displacement, ω is angular speed and t is time.

the wavenumber and angular speed of the wave equation can be determined respectively by

k = 2π / λ

ω = 2πf

where k is the wavenumber, λ is wavelength and f is frequency.

From the question above, we know that:

y = 2.00cos (15.7x - 858t)

(x in meters, t in second, y in micrometers)

x = 0.05 m

t = 3 ms

Convert time to second

t = 3ms = 0.003 s

By applying the wave equation, we get

y = 2.00cos (15.7x - 858t)

y = 2.00cos (15.7(0.05) - 858(0.003))

y = 2 cos(-1.789)

y = 1.999 micrometers

A runner begins running at the beginning of 7th period and stops running at the end of the period. She runs at a pace of 10 km/h

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

She run for, t = 0.92 s

Explanation:

Given data,

The velocity of the runner, v = 10 km/h

The distance covered by the runner, d = 9.2 km

The relationship between the velocity, displacement and time is given by the formula,

t = d / v

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

t = 9.2 / 10

= 0.92 s

Hence, she ran for, t = 0.92 s
