Answer:

The waves are longitudinal.

Explanation:

There are two types of waves:

Longitudinal waves : The waves in which the particles of medium vibrates in the same direction a the wave travels. Ex: sound waves  

Transverse waves : The waves in which the particles of medium in the perpendicular direction of the wave propagation. Ex: light waves.

The wave is travelling along the length of the slinky toy. So, the direction of motion of particles is same as the direction of motion of wave.

So, the waves are longitudinal in nature.

Answer:

"Longitudinal wave" is the appropriate answer.

Explanation:

  • Generating waves whenever the form of communication being displaced in a similar direction as well as in the reverse way of the wave's designated points, could be determined as Longitudinal waves.
  • A wave running the length of something like a Slinky stuffed animal, which expands as well as reduces the spacing across spindles, produces a fine image or graphic.

A 225 kg red bumper car is moving at 3.0 m/s. It hits a stationary 180 kg blue bumper car. The red and blue bumper cars combine
Alex Ar [27]

Given


m1(mass of red bumper): 225 Kg


m2 (mass of blue bumper): 180 Kg


m3(mass of green bumper):150 Kg


v1 (velocity of red bumper): 3.0 m/s


v2 (final velocity of the combined bumpers): ?




The law of conservation of momentum states that when two bodies collide with each other, the momentum of the two bodies before the collision is equal to the momentum after the collision. This can be mathemetaically represented as below:


Pa= Pb


Where Pa is the momentum before collision and Pb is the momentum after collision.


Now applying this law for the above problem we get


Momentum before collision= momentum after collision.


Momentum before collision = (m1+m2) x v1 =(225+180)x 3 = 1215 Kgm/s


Momentum after collision = (m1+m2+m3) x v2 =(225+180+150)x v2

=555v2

Now we know that Momentum before collision= momentum after collision.


Hence we get


1215 = 555 v2


v2 = 2.188 m/s


Hence the velocity of the combined bumper cars is 2.188 m/s

You are called as an expert witness to analyze the following auto accident: Car B, of mass 2100 kg, was stopped at a red light w
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force of friction at car B ( break was applied by car B ) =μ mg = .65 x  2100 X 9.8  = 13377 N .

work done by friction = 13377 x 7.30 = 97652.1 J

If v be the common velocity of both the cars after collision

kinetic energy of both the cars = 1/2 ( 2100 + 1500 ) x v²

= 1800 v²

so , applying work - energy theory ,

1800 v² = 97652.1

v² = 54.25

v = 7.365 m /s

This is the common velocity of both the cars .

To know the speed of car A , we shall apply law of conservation of momentum  .Let the speed of car A before collision be v₁ .

So , momentum before collision = momentum after collision of both the cars

1500 x v₁ = ( 1500 + 2100 ) x 7.365

v₁ = 17.676 m /s

= 63.63 mph .

( b )

yes Car A was crossing speed limit by a difference of

63.63 - 35 = 28.63 mph.

A 1500 kg car traveling at 20 m/s suddenly runs out of gas while approaching the valley shown in the figure. The alert driver im
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

v_f = 17.4 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use conservation of energy

starting point. On the hill when running out of gas

          Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m g y₁

final point. Arriving at the gas station

         Em_f = K + U = ½ m v_f ² + m g y₂

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_f

         ½ m v₀ ² + m g y₁ = ½ m v_f ² + m g y₂

        v_f ² = v₀² + 2g (y₁ -y₂)

         

we calculate

        v_f ² = 20² + 2 9.8  (10 -15)

        v_f = √302

         v_f = 17.4 m / s

Physicists often measure the momentum of subatomic particles moving near the speed of light in units of MeV/c, where c is the sp
maxonik [38]

Answer:

kg m/s

Explanation:

e = Charge = C

V = Voltage = \dfrac{N}{C}m

c = Speed of light = m/s

Momentum is given by

\dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{e\times V}{c}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{C\times \dfrac{N}{C}\times m}{m/s}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=Ns\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\times \dfrac{m}{s}\times s\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\cdot m/s

The unit of MeV/c in SI fundamental units is kg m/s
