Answer:

160m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is related to its frequency and wavelength, according to this equation:

v=f ×λ

I know i did part a correctly. heres what i did: momentum is conserved: m1 * u - m2 * u = m2 * v or (m1 - m2) * u = m2 * v Also, for an elastic head-on collision, we know that the relative velocity of approach = relative velocity of separation (from conservation of energy), or, for this problem, 2u = v Then (m1 - m2) * u = m2 * 2u m1 - m2 = 2 * m2 m1 = 3 * m2 m1 is the sphere that remained at rest (hence its absence from the RHS), so m2 = 0.3kg / 3 m2 = 0.1 kg b) this part confuses me, heres what i did (m1 - m2) * u = m2 * v (.3kg - .1kg)(2.0m/s) = .1kg * v .4 kg = .1 v v = 4 m/s What my teacher did: (.3g - .1g) * 2.0m/s = (.3g + .1g) * v I understand the left hand side but i dont get the right hand side. Why is m1 added to m2 when m1 is at rest which makes its v = zero?? v = +1.00m/s since the answer is positive, what does that mean? Also, if v was -1.00m/s what would that mean? thanks!

An object's inertia causes it to come to a rest position. True or false

Scilla [17]

The answer is False
Inertia is NOT the tendency to resist motion.

The time it would take the beef to reach a temperature of 0⁰C is t= 662 sec = 11.93 min

The time it would take to heat the beef to uniform temperature of 80⁰C is

t = 365 sec =5.93 min

Efficient absorption of Microwave power is in regions of liquid water . Hence if the food or the microwave irradiation is not uniform, the power will be absorbed non-uniformly, resulting in a non-uniform temperature rise. Defrost region will absorb more energy per unit volume than frozen region.if food is of low thermal conductivity, there will be insufficient time for heat conduction to make the temperature more uniform.Use of low power allows more time for conduction to occur.

The temperature of a solution will be estimated by taking n independent readings and averaging them. Each reading is unbiased, w

Viktor [21]

Answer:

68 readings.

Explanation:

We need to take this problem as a statistic problem where the normal distribution table help us.

We can start considerating that X is the temperature of the solution, then

$0.9 = P(|\bar{x}-\mu|$

$0.9 = P(\frac{|\bar{x}-\mu|}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$0.9 = P(|Z|$

For a confidence level of 90% our $Z_{critic}$ is 1.645

Therefore,

$\frac{0.1}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} = 1.645$

Substituting for $\sigma = 5$ and re-arrange for n, we have that n is equal to

$n=(\frac{1.645\sigma}{0.1})^2$

$n=\frac{(1.645)^2(0.5)^2}{0.1^2}$

$n=67.65$

$n=68$

We need to make 68 readings for have a probability of 90% and our average is within $0.1\°\frac$

A person walks 25 m east 35 m north 25 me west and 5 m south. What's the distance traveled?

Zolol [24]

With these questions, drawing it out would always help, the answer for this would be 90m if you add them all up. If it’s displacement, it would be 30m. But since it’s asking for the distance TRAVELED then it’s 90m

ANSWER: 90m
