A 10.00 kg mass is moving to the right with a velocity of 14.0 m/s. A 12.0 kg mass is moving to the left with a velocity of 8.00

m/s. Assuming that these two balls have a head on collision and stick together, what will be the final velocity of the combination?

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

From the conservation of momentum, the initial momentum of the system must be equal to the final momentum of the system.

Let the 10.00 kg mass be m_1 and the 12.0 kg mass be m_2. When they collide and stick, they have a combined mass of m_1+m_2.

Momentum is given by p=mv. Set up the following equation:

\displaystyle m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_f, where v_f is the desired final velocity of the masses.

Call the right direction positive. To indicate the 12.0 kg object is travelling left, its velocity should be substitute as -8.00 m/s.

Solving yields:

10\cdot 14 + 12\cdot (-8)=(10+12)v_f\\\implies v_f=\boxed{2 \text{ m/s}}

What occurs when the pitch increases and the sound source is in motion? explain your answer.
Hoochie [10]
If you're listening to a sound that has a steady pitch, and suddenly the
pitch goes up, then you know that two things could have happened:

EITHER ...

-- The person or other source making the sound could have
raised the pitch of the sound being produced.

OR ...

-- The person or other source making the sound could have
started moving toward you.

OR ...

-- both.

Even if the pitch of the sound leaving the source doesn't change,
you would still hear it increase if the source starts moving toward
you.  That's the so-called "Doppler effect".

A positively charged particle Q1 = +35nC is held fixed at the origin. A second charge of mass m = 3.5ug is floating a distance d
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Q1 = 35 nC = 35 x 10^-9 C

m = 3.5 micro gram = 3.5 x 10^-9 Kg

d  = 35 cm = 0.35 m

(a) The electrostatic force between the two charges is balanced by the weight of another charge.

F = m g

\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _{0}}\frac{Q_{1}Q_{2}}{d^{2}}=mg

Q_{2}=\frac{4\pi \epsilon _{0}mgd^{2}}{Q_{1}}

(b) By substituting the values

Q_{2}=\frac{3.5\times 10^{-9}\times 9.8\times 0.35\timees 0.35}{9\times 10^{9}\times 35\times 10^{9}}

Q2 = 13.34 x 10^-12 C

Q2 = 0.0134 nC

When cs-137 decays, it emits gamma radiation. the energy of one photon is 1.06 × 10-13 j. what is the wavelength of this radiati
Kryger [21]
To find the solution to the problem, we would be using Planck's equation which is E = hv
Where:
E = energy
h = Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10-34 J·s
ν = frequency
Then, you’ll need a second equation which is c = λν
Where:
c = speed of light = 3 x 108 m/sec
λ = wavelength
ν = frequency
Reorder the equation to solve for frequency:ν = c/λ
Next, substitute frequency in the first equation with c/λ to get a formula you can use:
E = hν
E = hc/λ
But we are looking for the wavelength, so rearrange it more, then our final equation would be:
λ = hc / E 
λ = (6.625E-34)(3.0E8 m/s) / (1.06E-13) 
λ = 1.875E-12 m
