Two male moose charge at each other with the same speed and meet on a icy patch of tundra. As they collide, their antlers lock t

ogether and they slide together with one-third of their original speed.
What is the ratio of their inertias?

change in velocity of larger moose: (1/3)v - v = -(2/3)v

change in velocity of small moose: (1/3)v - (-v) = (4/3)v

(change in velocity of larger moose)/(change in velocity of smaller moose) = 2


Explanation:

It is the "ma" in F=ma that we tend to call inertia.Inertia is that the resistance of any entity to any amendment in its position and state of motion.

his includes changes to the object's speed, direction, or state of rest. Inertia is additionally outlined because the tendency of objects to stay getting a line at a continuing speed.

Aaron Agin nodded off while driving home from play practice this past Sunday evening. His 1500-kg car hit a series of guardrails
Inessa [10]

Answer: 6.48m/s

Explanation:

First, we know that Impulse = change in momentum

Initial velocity, u = 19.8m/s

Let,

Velocity after first collision = x m/s

Velocity after second collision = y m/s

Also, we know that

Impulse = m(v - u). But then, the question said, the guard rail delivered a "resistive" impulse. Thus, our impulse would be m(u - v).

5700 = 1500(19.8 - x)

5700 = 29700 - 1500x

1500x = 29700 - 5700

1500x = 24000

x = 24000/1500

x = 16m/s

Also, at the second guard rail. impulse = ft, so that

Impulse = 79000 * 0.12

Impulse = 9480

This makes us have

Impulse = m(x - y)

9480 = 1500(16 -y)

9480 = 24000 - 1500y

1500y = 24000 - 9480

1500y = 14520

y = 14520 / 1500

y = 9.68

Then, the velocity decreases by 3.2, so that the final velocity of the car is

9.68 - 3.2 = 6.48m/s

Water flowing through a cylindrical pipe suddenly comes to a section of pipe where the diameter decreases to 86% of its previous
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of the water in the large section of the pipe is not stated

so i will assume 36m/s

(if its not the said speed, input the figure of your speed and you get it right)

Continuity equation is applicable for ideal, incompressible liquids

Q the flux of water that is  Av with A the cross section area and v the velocity,

so,

A_1V_1=A_2V_2

A_{1}=\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2} \\\\ A_{2}=\frac{\pi}{4}d_{2}^{2}

the diameter decreases 86% so

d_2 = 0.86d_1

v_{2}=\frac{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2}v_{1}}{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{2}^{2}}\\\\=\frac{\cancel{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2}}v_{1}}{\cancel{\frac{\pi}{4}}(0.86\cancel{d_{1}})^{2}}\\\\\approx1.35v_{1} \\\\v_{2}\approx(1.35)(38)\\\\\approx48.6\,\frac{m}{s}

Thus, speed in smaller section is 48.6 m/s

A wave is propagating from left to right in a medium. The particles in the medium are also vibrating from left to right. What ki
Anna71 [15]
Based on the direction of propagation compared to direction of vibration, waves are classified into:
1- Transverse waves: The direction of propagation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the medium particles.
2- Longitudinal waves: The direction of propagation of the wave is the same as the direction of vibration of the medium particles.

For the question we have here, since the direction of the wave is the same as the direction of vibration of particles, therefore, this wave is a longitudinal wave

Write difference between upstroke and downstroke of water pump
lakkis [162]

Explanation:

Upstroke is a mechanism which helps to raise the plunger and downstroke helps to help lower the plunger. On the up-stroke of the plunger, the lower valve opens and the upper valve is closed. ... Whereas, on the downstroke, the lower valve closes and the upper one opens.

Two open organ pipes, sounding together, produce a beat frequency of 8.0 Hz . The shorter one is 2.08 m long. How long is the ot
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The length of the longer pipe is L = 2.30 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Two open organ pipes, sounding together, produce a beat frequency of 8.0 Hz . The shorter one is 2.08 m long.

How long is the other pipe?

From above;

The formula for the frequency of open ended pipes can be expressed as:

f = \dfrac{nv}{2L}

where n = 1 ( since half wavelength exist between those two pipes)

v = 343 m/s  and L = 2.08 m

Thus, the shorter pipe produces a frequency of :

f = \dfrac{1*343}{2*2.08}

f = \dfrac{343}{4.16}

f =82.45 \ Hz

Also; we know that the beat frequency was given as 8.0 Hz

Then,

The lower frequency of the longer pipe = ( 82.45 - 8.0 )Hz

The lower frequency of the longer pipe = 74.45 Hz

Finally;

From the above equation; make Length L the subject of the formula. Then,

The length of the longer pipe is L = \dfrac{nv}{2f}

The length of the longer pipe is L = \dfrac{1*343}{2*74.45}

The length of the longer pipe is L = \dfrac{343}{148.9}

The length of the longer pipe is L = 2.30 m
