A cart of mass m = 0.12 kg moves with a speed v = 0.45 m/s on a frictionless air track and collides with an identical cart that

is stationary. The carts stick together after the collision. What is the final kinetic energy of the system?

Answer:

0.006075Joules

Explanation:

The final kinetic energy of the system is expressed as;

KE = 1/2(m1+m2)v²

m1 and m2 are the masses of the two bodies

v is the final velocity of the bodies after collision

get the final velocity using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

0.12(0.45) + 0/12(0) = (0.12+0.12)v

0.054 = 0.24v

v = 0.054/0.24

v = 0.225m/s

Get the final kinetic energy;

KE = 1/2(m1+m2)v

KE = 1/2(0.12+0.12)(0.225)²

KE = 1/2(0.24)(0.050625)

KE = 0.12*0.050625

KE = 0.006075Joules

Hence the final kinetic energy of the system is 0.006075Joules

which has a higher acceleration:a 10kg object acted upon with a net force of 20N or an 18kg object acted on by a net force of 20
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
<span>Answer: The acceleration of 10 kg object is greater than that of 18 kg object.

Explanation:
According to Newton's Second law:
F = ma --- (A)

Let's find the acceleration for both 10 kg and 18 kg objects!
The net force on both of these masses = F = 20N

(1) Acceleration of 10 kg object
Mass = m = 10 kg
Plug in the values in equation (A):
20 = 10 * a
Acceleration = a = 2 m/s^2

(2) Acceleration of 18 kg object
Mass = m = 18 kg
Plug in the values in equation (A):

20 = 18 * a
Acceleration = a = 1.11 m/s^2


2 > 1.11; therefore, 10 kg object has the higher acceleration compared to the acceleration of the 18 kg object.</span>

The human ear canal is, on average, 2.5cm long and aids in hearing by acting like a resonant cavity that is closed on one end an
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

3400 Hz

Explanation:

We know that

1 cm = 0.01 m

L = Length of the human ear canal = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

V = Speed of sound = 340 ms⁻¹

f = First resonant frequency

The human ear canal behaves as a closed pipe and for a closed pipe, nth resonant frequency is given as

f = \frac{(2n - 1)V}{4L}

for first resonant frequency, we have n = 1

Inserting the values

f = \frac{(2(1) - 1) 340}{4(0.025)}

f = \frac{340}{4(0.025)}

f = 3400 Hz

Rocks are elastic too! Explain how elasticity and Harry Reid's elastic rebound theory lead to a better understanding of earthqua
ANEK [815]
After the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, geolophysicistHarry Fielding Reid examined the displacement of the ground surface along the San Andreas Fault. He concluded that the quake must have been the result of the elastic reboundof the strain energy in the rocks on either side of the fault.
strain energy is 0. 5x force x (compression) X (compression)
There is a lot of force and a bit of compression when rocks squash up against other rocks causing earthquakes
