Answer: 90 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of racecar $M=1.2\times10^3\ kg$

velocity of racecar $u=8\ m/s$

mass of still honeybadger $m=80\ kg$

after collision race car is traveling at a speed of $v_1=2\ m/s$

conserving linear momentum

$Mu+m\times0=Mv_1+ mv_2\quad[v_2=\text{velocity of honeybadger after colllision}]$

$1.2\times10^3\times8+0=1.2\times10^3\times2+80\times v_2$

$1.2\times10^3(8-2)=80v_2\\v_2=\frac{7.2\times10^3}{80}=90\ m/s$

The distance between two consecutive nodesof a standing wave is 20.9cm.Thehandgen-erating the pulses moves up and down throughac

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.

An inattentive driver is traveling 18.0 m/s when he notices a red light ahead. his car is capable of decelerating at a rate of 3

ryzh [129]

Speed of the car given initially

v = 18 m/s

deceleration of the car after applying brakes will be

a = 3.35 m/s^2

Reaction time of the driver = 0.200 s

Now when he see the red light distance covered by the till he start pressing the brakes

$d_1 = v* t$

$d_1 = 18* 0.200 = 3.6 m$

Now after applying brakes the distance covered by the car before it stops is given by kinematics equation

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a s$

here

vi = 18 m/s

vf = 0

a = - 3.35

so now we will have

$0^2 - 18^2 = 2*(-3.35)(s)$

$s = 48.35 m$

So total distance after which car will stop is

$d = d_1 + d_2$

$d = 48.35 + 3.6 = 51.95 m$

So car will not stop before the intersection as it is at distance 20 m

Think about Newton's 2nd Law, Force equals mass times acceleration. Liz puts a 1 kg weight and a 10 kg weight on identical wagon

Alexeev081 [22]

More force is needed for more mass. Therefore, if the mass is greater and the force is not enough then the object will less likely accelerate

<span>The loudness of the sound increases gradually as the air is slowly introduced in to the jar. This is because sound needs a physical medium and in a vacuum there is none. The air provides that medium and as it is introduced, the transfer of sound energy increases</span>
