Answer:

Approximately 0.29\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Explanation:

Make use of the fact that total momentum is conserved in collisions.

The momentum of an object of mass m and velocity v is p = m\, v.

The momentum of the two trolleys before the collision would be:

  • 4\; {\rm kg} \times 0.5\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}} = 2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.
  • 3\; {\rm kg} \times 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} = 0\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Thus, the total momentum of the two trolleys right before the collision would be 2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Since the two trolleys are stuck to one another after the collision, they could modelled as one big trolley of mass m = 3\; {\rm kg} + 4\; {\rm kg} = 7\; {\rm kg}.

The momentum of the two trolleys, combined, is conserved during the collision. Thus, the total momentum of the new trolley of mass m = 7\; {\rm kg} would continue to be v = 2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}} shortly after the collision.

Rearrange the equation p = m\, v to find the velocity of the two trolleys combined:

\begin{aligned}v &= \frac{p}{m} \\ &= \frac{2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}}{7\; {\rm kg}} \\ &\approx 0.29\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

length = 1.24m

Explanation:

velocity = frequency x wavelength

wavelength = velocity/frequency

w = 343/69 =4.97m

length = wavelength/4

length =4.97/4 =1.24m
