Answer:

c is speed of light

Explanation:

Einstein's mass energy equivalence equation shows the relation between matter and energy. It can mathematically written as:

$E=mc^2$

Where

E is the energy

m is the mass

c is speed of light.

Speed of light is a constant quantity. It is a universal constant.

Its value is equal to $c=3\times 10^8\ m/s^2$

This equation shows that energy and mass are interchangeable quantities.

A pipe open only at one end has a fundamental frequency of 266 Hz. A second pipe, initially identical to the first pipe, is shor

Alika [10]

Answer:

1.16cm were cut off the end of the second pipe

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency in the first pipe is,

Since the speed of sound is not given in the question, we would assume it to be 340m/s

f1 = v/4L, where v is the speed of sound and L is the length of the pipe

266 = 340/4L

L = 0.31954 m = 0.32 m

It is given that the second pipe is identical to the first pipe by cutting off a portion of the open end. So, consider L’ be the length that was cut from the first pipe.

So, the length of the second pipe is L – L’

Then, the fundamental frequency in the second pipe is

f2 = v/4(L - L’)

The beat frequency due to the fundamental frequencies of the first and second pipe is

f2 – f1 = 10hz

[v/4(L - L’)] – 266 = 10

[v/4(L – L’)] = 10 + 266

[v/4(L – L’)] = 276

(L - L’) = v/(4 x 276)

(L – L’) = 340/(4 x 276)

(L – L’) = 0.30797

L’ = 0.31954 – 0.30797

L’ = 0.01157 m = 1.157 cm ≅ 1.16cm

Hence, 1.16 cm were cut from the end of the second pipe

What is the elastic potential energy of a spring that is compressed a distance of 0.35 m and has a spring constant of 71.8 N/m?

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

P.E = 4.398 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Spring constant, k = 71.8N/m

Displacement, x = 0.35m

To find the elastic potential energy;

The elastic potential energy of an object is given by the formula;

$P.E = \frac {1}{2}kx^{2}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$P.E = \frac {1}{2}*71.8 *(0.35)^{2}$

$P.E = 35.9 * 0.1225$

Elastic potential energy = 4.398 Joules.

Therefore, the elastic potential energy of the spring is 4.398 Joules.

In the Daytona 500 auto race, a Ford Thunderbird and a Mercedes Benz are moving side by side down a straightaway at 78.5 m/s. Th

Andrews [41]

Answer:

FT is 1020.6 meters (1640.6 meters - 620 meters) far from MB

Explanation:

First you have to consider that the Ford Thunderbird (FT) follows a rectilinear motion with varying acceleration, while Mercedez Benz (MB) has a constant velocity (no acceleration). So if you finde the time spent by FT in each section, and the distance, then you will find the distance for MB.

1) Vf² = Vi² + 2ad, where Vf: final velocity, Vi: ionitial velocity, a: acceleration and d: distance.

For the first portion (0 m/s)² = (78.5 m/s)² + 2a(250 m) ⇒

-(78.5 m/s)² / 2(250m) = a ⇒ a = -12.3 m/s².

Now, you can find the corresponding time for this section with the following formule: Vf = Vi + at ⇒ 0 m/s = 78.5 m/s + (-12.3 m/s²) t

⇒ t= (-78.5 m/s)/ (-12.3 m/s²) ⇒ t= 6.4 seconds.

2) Then FT spent 5 seconds in the pit.

3) The the FT accelerates until reach 78.5 m/s again in a distance of 370 m.

Vf² = Vi² + 2ad ⇒ (78.5 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2a(370 m)

⇒ (78.5 m/s)²/ 2(370 m) = a ⇒ a = 8.3 m/s²

Then, Vf = Vi + at ⇒ 78.5 m/s = 0 m/2 + (8.3 m/s²) t

⇒ (78.5 m/s)/(8.3 m/s²) = t ⇒ t = 9.5 seconds.

4) Summarizing, the FT moves 620 meters (250 + 370 mts) in 20.9 seconds ( 6.4 s + 5 s + 9.5 s).

5) During this time, MB moves

Velocity = distance/ time ⇒ Velocity x time = Distance

⇒ Distance = (78.5 m/s) x (20.9 seconds) ⇒ Distance = 1640.6 meters

6) Finally, the FT is 1020.6 meters (1640.6 meters - 620 meters) far from MB
