Answer:

0

Explanation:

It’s before the projectile was fired, so nothing has happened yet.

You will be colliding two carts in this lab. Select all the systems for which you predict the total momentum of the system will

baherus [9]

From the momentum conservation we know that the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum. The momentum in a singular way can be defined as the product between the mass and the velocity of an object. In the presented system, however, there are two objects, therefore the mass of both and the speed of both, before and after the collision must be taken into account. Mathematically we could describe this as

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

Here,

$m_{1,2}$ = Mass of each object

$u_{1,2}$ = Initial velocity of each object

$v_{1,2}$ = Final velocity of each object

From here we can realize that it is necessary to use the system on both cars to be able to predict what will happen either with their masses, or their speeds.

The correct answer is C.

A man stands at the midpoint between two speakers that are broadcasting an amplified static hiss uniformly in all directions. Th

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

The power of each of the speakers is 0.535 W. At a distance d intensity of sound can be found by the following formula

Intensity of sound = Power / 4π d²

= .535 / 4 x 3.14 x (27.3/2)²

= 2.286 x 10⁻⁴ J m⁻² s⁻¹

Intensity of sound due to other source = 5.715 x 10⁻⁵J m⁻² s⁻¹

Total intensity = 2 x 2.286 x 10⁻⁴J m⁻² s⁻¹

= 4.57 x 10⁻⁴J m⁻² s⁻¹

b ) In this case, man is standing at distances 18.15 m and 9.15 m from the sources .

The total intensity of sound reaching him is as follows

0.535 / (4 π x18.15² ) + 0.535 / (4 π x9.15² )

= 1.293 x 10⁻⁴ + 5.087 x 10⁻⁴

= 6.38 x 10⁻⁴J m⁻² s⁻¹

A 1.2 kg ball drops vertically onto a floor from a height of 32 m, and rebounds with an initial speed of 10 m/s.

iren [92.7K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 1.2 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 10 m/s

Height of the floor from ground, h = 32 m

(a) Let v is the final speed of the ball. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 32}$

v = -25.04 m/s (negative as it rebounds)

The impulse acting on the ball is equal to the change in momentum. It can be calculated as :

$J=m(v-u)$

$J=1.2\times (-25.04-10)$

J = -42.048 kg-m/s

(b) Time of contact, t = 0.02 s

Let F is the average force on the floor from by the ball. Impulse acting on an object is given by :

$J=\dfrac{F}{t}$

$F=J\times t$

$F=42.048\times 0.02$

F = 0.8409 N

Hence, this is the required solution.
