Answer:

i don’t know what kind of waves you mean but if you’re talking about sound waves...

Explanation:

“Sound waves are transmitted through solids, liquids, and gases. Light waves are transmitted through transparent materials (may be clear or colored material such as filters) that allow most of the light that strikes them to pass through them. Only a small amount of light is reflected or absorbed.”

A spring has a force constant k, and an object of mass m is suspended from it. The spring is cut in half and the same object is

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

$f2/f1 = \sqrt{2}$

Explanation:

From frequency of oscillation

$f = 1/2pi *\sqrt{k/m}$

Initially with the suspended string, the above equation is correct for the relation, hence

$f1 = 1/2pi *\sqrt{k/m}$

where k is force constant and m is the mass

When the spring is cut into half, by physics, the force constant will be doubled as they are inversely proportional

$f2 = 1/2pi *\sqrt{2k/m}$

Employing f2/ f1, we have

$f2/f1 = \sqrt{2}$

a ball of mass 100g moving at a velocity of 100m/s collides with another ball of mass 400g moving at 50m/s in same direction, if

klio [65]

Answer:

Velocity of the two balls after collision: $60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

$100\; \rm J$ of kinetic energy would be lost.

Explanation:

<h3>Velocity</h3>

Because the question asked about energy, convert all units to standard units to keep the calculation simple:

Mass of the first ball: $100\; \rm g = 0.1\; \rm kg$ .
Mass of the second ball: $400\; \rm g = 0.4 \; \rm kg$ .

The two balls stick to each other after the collision. In other words, this collision is a perfectly inelastic collision. Kinetic energy will not be conserved. The velocity of the two balls after the collision can only be found using the conservation of momentum.

Assume that the system of the two balls is isolated. Thus, the sum of the momentum of the two balls will stay the same before and after the collision.

The momentum of an object of mass $m$ and velocity $v$ is: $p = m \cdot v$ .

Momentum of the two balls before collision:

First ball: $p = m \cdot v = 0.1\; \rm kg \times 100\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} = 10\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ .
Second ball: $p = m \cdot v = 0.4\; \rm kg \times 50\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} = 20\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ .
Sum: $10\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1} + 20 \; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1} = 30 \; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ given that the two balls are moving in the same direction.

Based on the assumptions, the sum of the momentum of the two balls after collision should also be $30\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ . The mass of the two balls, combined, is $0.1\; \rm kg + 0.4\; \rm kg = 0.5\; \rm kg$ . Let the velocity of the two balls after the collision $v\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ . (There's only one velocity because the collision had sticked the two balls to each other.)

Momentum after the collision from $p = m \cdot v$ : $(0.5\, v)\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1$ .
Momentum after the collision from the conservation of momentum: $30\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

These two values are supposed to describe the same quantity: the sum of the momentum of the two balls after the collision. They should be equal to each other. That gives the equation about $v$ :

$0.5\, v = 30$ .

$v = 60$ .

In other words, the velocity of the two balls right after the collision should be $60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

The kinetic energy of an object of mass $m$ and velocity $v$ is $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^{2}$ .

Kinetic energy before the collision:

First ball: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^2 = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.1\; \rm kg \times \left(100\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^{2} = 500\; \rm J$ .
Second ball: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^2 = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.4\; \rm kg \times \left(50\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^{2} = 500\; \rm J$ .
Sum: $500\; \rm J + 500\; \rm J = 1000\; \rm J$ .

The two balls stick to each other after the collision. Therefore, consider them as a single object when calculating the sum of their kinetic energies.

Mass of the two balls, combined: $0.5\; \rm kg$ .
Velocity of the two balls right after the collision: $60\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}$ .

Sum of the kinetic energies of the two balls right after the collision:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.5\; \rm kg \times \left(60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2 = 900\; \rm J$ .

Therefore, $1000\; \rm J - 900\; \rm J = 100\; \rm J$ of kinetic energy would be lost during this collision.

Some scientists speculate that our universe is not the only universe that exists, but the only one we can gather evidence about.

o-na [289]

This idea is called the multiverse theory

<h3>What is the Multiverse theory?</h3>

According to multiverse hypothesis, our universe, which spans tens of billions of light-years and contains hundreds of billions of galaxies and almost innumerable stars, may not be the only one. Instead, there may be a whole distinct world, far away from ours, and then another, and another. In fact, there may be an infinite number of universes, each with its own set of physical laws, stars and galaxies (if they can exist in those worlds), and perhaps even sentient civilizations.

The idea of the multiverse appears in a few branches of physics (and philosophy), but inflation theory provides the best-known example. According to inflation theory, a hypothetical occurrence took place when our universe was really young—less than a second old. According to NASA, the cosmos had a brief period of fast expansion before "inflating" to become several orders of magnitude larger than it had been.

According to Heling Deng, a cosmologist at Arizona State University and an authority on the multiverse hypothesis, the expansion of our universe is assumed to have stopped some 14 billion years ago. However, Deng noted in an email to Live Science, "inflation does not disappear everywhere at the same time." It's possible that if inflation slows down in one area, it picks up in another.

What is the density of an object that has a mass of 10 g and a volume

Korolek [52]

2g/mL

Explanation:

Given parameters :

Mass = 10g

Volume = 5mL

Unknown:

Density of the object = ?

Solution:

Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a body.

Density = $\frac{mass}{Volume}$

Now, input the values in the equation:

Density = $\frac{10}{5}$ = 2g/mL
