Answer:

Ripple in water is a surface wave. A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission —the material—is limited.

Newtons 1st law of motion states that the object will continue to move at its present speed and direction until an outside force acts upon it.

So unless the objects inside the car are restrained, they will continue moving at whatever speed the car is traveling at, even if the car is stopped by a crash.

A small block of mass 20.0 grams is moving to the right on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed of 0.68 m/s. The block

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a) $v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1}$

b) $v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the lighter block, $m'=0.02\kg$

velocity of the lighter block, $u'=0.68\ m.s^{-1}$

mass of the heavier block, $m=0.04\ kg$

velocity of the heavier block, $u=0\ m.s^{-1}$

Using conservation of linear momentum:

$m'.u'+m.u=m'.v'+m.v$

where:

$v'=$ final velocity of the lighter block

$v=$ final velocity of the heavier block

$m'.u'=m'.v'+m.v$

$m'(u'-v')=m.v$ ........................(1)

Since kinetic energy is conserved in elastic collision:

$\frac{1}{2}m'.u'^2=\frac{1}{2}m'.v'^2+\frac{1}{2}m.v^2$

$m'(u'^2-v'^2)=m.v^2$

$m'(u'-v')(u'+v')= m.v^2$

divide the above equation by eq. (1)

$v=u'+v'$ .............................(2)

now we substitute the value of v from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

$m'(u'-v')=m(u'+v')$

$\frac{m'+m}{m'-m} =\frac{u'}{v'}$

$\frac{0.02+0.04}{0.02-0.04} =\frac{0.68}{v'}$

$v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1}$ (negative sign denotes that the direction is towards left)

now we substitute the value of v' from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

$m'(u'-v+u')=m.v$

$2m'.u'=(m-m')v$

$2\times 0.02\times 0.68=(0.04-0.02)\times v$

$v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}$

____________occurs when an object travels in a curved path.

labwork [276]

Answer:

Acceleration

Explanation:

can you mark me brainlies

So, if an object travels in a curved path, it changes velocity, and, thus, accelerates. This acceleration must be tied to a force. ... Therefore, whenever an object travels in a curved path, there must be an unbalanced force acting upon it. It is important to understand that all this may occur without a change in speed.t
