Two identical 0.50-kg carts, each 0.10 m long, are at rest on a low-friction track and are connected by a spring that is initial

ly at its relaxed length of 0.50 m and is of negligible inertia. You give the cart on the left a push to the right (that is, toward the other cart), exerting a constant 6.0-N force. You stop pushing at the instant when the cart has moved 0.60m . At this instant, the relative velocity of the two carts is zero and the spring is compressed to a length of 0.30 m. A locking mechanism keeps the spring compressed, and the two carts continue moving to the right. By what amount do you change the system's kinetic energy?

Answer:

The system's kinetic energy changes by 3.6 J

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of cart = 2

The mass of each cart = 0.5kg

The initial length of the spring = 0.50 m

The final length of the spring =T0.3 m

The change in position of the first cart = 0.6 m

The energy given to the first cart = Work done by the force = Force × Displacement

The initial kinetic energy of the two cart moving together = Energy given to the first cart = 6.0 × 0.2 = 1.2J

The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = The applied force × The total displacement of the two cart as they move together

The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = 6.0 × (0.6 - 0.2)

The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = 6.0 × 0.4 = 2.4 J

The total kinetic energy given to the two cart = 1.2 + 2.4 = 3.6 J

The total kinetic energy given to the two cart = 3.6 J

The system's kinetic energy changes by 3.6 J.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

x ’= 1,735 m,  measured from the far left

Explanation:

For the system to be in equilibrium, the law of rotational equilibrium must be fulfilled.

Let's fix a reference system located at the point of rotation and that the anticlockwise rotations have been positive

             

They tell us that we have a mass (m1) on the left side and another mass (M2) on the right side,

the mass that is at the left end x = 1.2 m measured from the pivot point, the mass of the right side is at a distance x and the weight of the body that is located at the geometric center of the bar

           x_{cm} = 1.2 -1

          x_ {cm} = 0.2 m

          Σ τ = 0

          w₁ 1.2 + mg 0.2 - W₂ x = 0

          x = \frac{m_1 g\ 1.2 \ + m g \ 0.2}{M_2 g}

          x = \frac{m_1 \ 1.2 \ + m \ 0.2 }{M_2}

let's calculate

          x = \frac{2.9 \ 1.2 \ + 4 \ 0.2 }{8.00}2.9 1.2 + 4 0.2 / 8

           

          x = 0.535 m

measured from the pivot point

measured from the far left is

           x’= 1,2 + x

           x'=  1.2 + 0.535

           x ’= 1,735 m

Suppose you're on a hot air balloon ride, carrying a buzzer that emits a sound of frequency f. If you accidentally drop the buzz
amid [387]

Answer:

(C) The frequency decrease and intensity decrease

Explanation:

The Doppler effect describes the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source, or the wave source is moving relative to the observer, or both.

if the observer and the source move away from each other as is the case for this problem, the wavelength heard by the observer is bigger.

The frequency is the inverse from the wavelength, so the frequency heard will increase.

The sound intensity depends inversely on the area in which the sound propagates. When the buzzer is close, the area is from a small sphere, but as the buzzer moves further away, the wave area will be from a larger sphere and therefore the intensity will decrease.
