Answer:

Momentum change of the rock = 3835 kgm/s

Chane in earth's velocity = 6.4 x 10⁻²² m/s

Explanation:

m = 50.0 kg, M = 6.0 x 10²⁴ kg

d = 300.0 m

final velocity of rock = v, v² = 2gd = 2 * 9.81 * 300, so v = 76.7 m/s

Momentum change of the rock = mv = 50.0 * 76.7 = 3835 kgm/s

Inital momentum of the rock+earth system = 0

final momentum = 0 (momentum conservation)

momentum of rock and momentum of earth are same magnitude and opposite directions.

mv - MV = 0

Chane in earth's velocity = mv/M = 3835/(6.0 x 10²⁴) = 6.4 x 10⁻²² m/s

Compare and contrast infrasonic and ultrasonic vibrations
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ultrasonic waves are acoustic waves that are so high in frequency that humans can't hear them; however, infrasonic waves are sound waves that are lower in frequency than what humans can hear. A subsonic wave is a wave that is traveling slower than the speed of sound and a supersonic waves travels faster

A fence 8 ft high​ (w) runs parallel to a tall building and is 24 ft​ (d) from it. Find the length​ (L) of the shortest ladder t
AveGali [126]

Answer:

25.3 ft

Explanation:

The illustration of the problem is shown the attached image.

The length of the ladder can be calculated using the Pythagoras theorem:

Hypotenuse^2 = opposite^2 + adjacent^2

The hypotenuse is the length of the ladder.

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{opposite^2 + adjacent^2}

L^2 = BC^2 + (24 + AE)^2........1

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle AEF, hence:

\frac{BC}{8} = \frac{AE + 24}{AE}

BC = \frac{8(AE + 24)}{AE}.................2

Substitute 2 into 1

L^2 = (\frac{8(AE + 24)}{AE})^2 + (24 + AE)^2

Let AE = x

L^2 = (\frac{8x + 192}{x})^2 + (24 + x)^2

    = (8 + \frac{192}{x})^2 + (24 + x)^2

Minimize L with respect to x.

2\frac{dL}{dx} = 2(8 + \frac{192}{x})(-\frac{192}{x^2}) + 2(24 + x)

       =
