Answer:

4.123 * 10∧4 kg

Explanation:

mass of car M' = 3.34 * 10∧4 kg

energy loss E = 19/100  K

from law of conservation of momentum ,

                 M' V' = ( M' + M'' ) v

                        V = M' V' / ( M' + M'' )

       Initial kinetic energy is K'  = (M' V')² / 2

      final kinetic energy  K" = 81 K' /100

                                             =  (M' V')² 81 / (200)     =   ( M' + M'' ) v²/ 2

            therefore , M' / ( M' + M" ) = 0.81

 mass of caboose is ,  M" = 1.234 M' - M'

                                     M" = .234 M'

                                          = 0,234 ( 3.34 * 10∧4 kg)

                                          = 4.123 * 10∧4 kg

Two tuning forks produce sounds of wavelengths of 3.4 meters and 3.3 meters.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

wavelength, λ = 3.4 m

wavelength, λ' = 3.3 m

Speed, v = 340 m/s

f = v / λ = 340 / 3.4 = 100 Hz

f' = v / λ' = 340 / 3.3 = 103.03 Hz

Frequency of beat, n = f' - f = 103.03 - 100 = 3.03 Hz

Based on what you have learned from this unit, construct a tri-fold brochure instructing a new freshman as to the best way to le
Rzqust [24]
<span>A tri-fold brochure has two parallel folds, splitting the brochure into three sections. Even when printed on low-weight paper, tri-folds can stand up easily, which makes them a great choice for displaying at conventions. You can fold both folds inwards so that the left and right sections of the brochure sit on top of one another, or you can have one fold inwards and the other outwards, to create an accordion effect, which looks very attractive.</span>

Ali mixes 20g of Sodium Chloride in 100g of water at 15 Degree °C. Calculate the mass of the solution
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The mass of the solution is 120 g.

Explanation:

The mass of the solution is given by:

m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2}

Where:

m_{sol}: is the mass of the solution

m_{1}: is the mass of the solvent

m_{2}: is the mass of the solute

In the solution, the solvent is the majority compound (in mass) and the solute is the minority (in mass), so the solvent is the water and the solute is sodium chloride.          

Hence, the mass of the solution is:

m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2} = 100 g + 20 g = 120 g  

I hope it helps you!
