m1=1500kg
m_2=3000kg
v_1=5m/s
v_2=7m/s

Using law of conservation of momentum

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow m_1v_1-m_2v_2=(m1+m2)v_3$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 1500(5)-3000(7)=(1500+3000)v_3$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 7500-21000=4500v_3$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow -13500=4500v_3$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow v_3=-3m/s$

A 40-cmcm-long tube has a 40-cmcm-long insert that can be pulled in and out. A vibrating tuning fork is held next to the tube. A

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

1070 Hz

Explanation:

First, I should point out there might be a typo in the question or the question has inconsistent values. If the tube is 40 cm long, standing waves cannot be produced at 42.5 cm and 58.5 cm lengths. I assume the length is more than the value in the question then. Under this assumption, we proceed as below:

The insert in the tube creates a closed pipe with one end open and the other closed. For a closed pipe, the difference between successive resonances is a half wavelength $\frac{\lambda}{2}$ .

Hence, we have

$\dfrac{\lambda}{2}=58.5-42.5=16 \text{ cm}$

$\lambda=32\text{ cm}=0.32 \text{ m}$ .

The speed of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency.

$v=f\lambda$

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}$

$f=\dfrac{343}{0.32}=1070 \text{ Hz}$

Let's examine over the next few questions an NFL kick as described in the 3rd Law video. The announcer claimed that the ball is

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

8451.62109367671 Newtons

Explanation:

$1\ kg=1\times 9.8066500286389=9.8066500286389\ N$

$1 \lb=2.2046226218488\ kg$

It is known that

$1\ lbs=\dfrac{9.8066500286389}{2.2046226218488}=4.4482216282508\ N$

So,

$1900\ lbs=1900\times 4.4482216282508\\\Rightarrow 1900\ lbs=8451.6210936765\ N$

The force in Newtons is 8451.6210936765 Newtons

An object falls freely for 25 seconds, what is the velocity after the 25 seconds ?

Andrei [34K]

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s² downward.
This means that gravity adds 9.8 m/s downward to the speed
of a freely falling object every second.

So after 25 sec, it's falling (25 x 9.8m/s) = 245 m/s faster than
it was falling at the beginning of the 25 seconds.

If it dropped from rest (no speed), then its velocity
after 25 seconds is 245 m/s downward.
