C. when the circuit is closed
In collision that are categorized as elastic, the total kinetic energy of the system is preserved such that,
KE1 = KE2
The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is solved below.
KE1 = (0.5)(25)(20)² + (0.5)(10g)(15)²
KE1 = 6125 g cm²/s²
This value should also be equal to KE2, which can be calculated using the conditions after the collision.
KE2 = 6125 g cm²/s² = (0.5)(10)(22.1)² + (0.5)(25)(x²)
The value of x from the equation is 17.16 cm/s.
Hence, the answer is 17.16 cm/s.
Answer:
fo = 378.52Hz
Explanation:
Using Doppler effect formula:

where
f' = 392 Hz
C = 340m/s
Vb = 20m/s
Va = 31m/s
Replacing these values and solving for fo:
fo = 378.52Hz
