On an ice skating rink, a girl of mass 50 kg stands stationary, face to face with a boy of mass 80 kg. The children push off of

one another, and the boy moves away with a velocity of 3 m/s. What is the final velocity of the girl? â€"1. 9 m/s 1. 9 m/s â€"4. 8 m/s 4. 8 m/s.

The velocity of the girl is  -4.8 m/s.

Using the principle of conservation of linear momentum, The total momentum of  bodies before and after collision is constant. Since the two objects are stationary, the initial momentum of each body is zero.

Thus;

0 = (80 × 3) + (50 × v)

0 = 240 + 50 v

-240 = 50 v

v = -240/50

v = -4.8 m/s

Note that the negative sign shows that the velocity of the girl is in opposite direction that that of the girl.

The frequency of a microwave is 1.2 x 10^9 hertz. what is the wavelength of the given problem.
Olenka [21]

Answer:

0.25 m

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field, oscillating in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, the speed of light, whose value is:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Microwave is an example of electromagnetic waves.

The relationship between wavelength and frequency for an electromagnetic wave is:

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}

where

\lambda is the wavelength

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s  is the speed of light

f is the frequency

For the microwave in this problem,

f=1.2\cdot 10^9 Hz

So its wavelength is

\lambda=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8}{1.2\cdot 10^9}=0.25 m

CClassify each characteristic of sound waves.
Alex787 [66]

Explanation : Explain each characteristic of sound waves.

Intensity : the intensity of the sound wave is understand as the power carry by sound wave per unit area in the direction perpendicular to that area.

Loudness :  loudness is the quality of the loud and soft of the sound wave.

Frequency : Human normal hear sound frequency between 20 Hz to kHz.

Pitch : Pitch is the quality of low and high of sound wave . pitch relates to the frequency of the slowest vibration in the sound wave for simple sound.
