Impulse equals Change in Momentum
F = average applied force = to be determined
Δt = time during which the force is applied = 0.50 s
m = mass = 1,700 kg
Δp = change in momentum = to be determined
Δv = change in velocity = to be determined
v1 = initial velocity = 50.0 km/h = 50,000 m/h = 13.9 m/s
v2 = final velocity = 0.00 km/h = 0.00 m/s

F∙Δt = Δp
F∙Δt = m∙Δv
F∙Δt = m∙(v2 - v1)

F = m∙(v2 - v1) / Δt
F = 1,700 kg∙(0.00 m/s - 13.9 m/s) / 0.50 s

Substance X is placed in a container with substance Y. Both substances are fluids. Substance X initially sinks to the bottom of
Brut [27]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Convection is a process in which heat transfers from a hotter substance to a colder substance.

As a result, the substance which is less dense will rise and the more denser substance will sink due to the influence of gravity.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given situation substance X will rise due to convection.

A 250 Hz tuning fork is struck and the intensity at the source is I1 at a distance of one meter from the source. (a) What is the
Zina [86]

Answer:

a) 0.0625 I_1

b) 3.16 m

Explanation:

<u>Concepts and Principles  </u>

The intensity at a distance r from a point source that emits waves of power P is given as:  

I=P/4π*r^2                         (1)

<u>Given Data</u>

f (frequency of the tuning fork) = 250 Hz

I_1 is the intensity at the source a distance r_1 = I m from the source.  

<u>Required Data</u>

- In part (a), we are asked to determine the intensity I_2 a distance r_2 = 4 in from the source.

- In part (b), we are asked to determine the distance from the tuning fork at which the intensity is a tenth of the intensity at the source.  

<u>solution:</u>

(a)  

According to Equation (1), the intensity a distance r is inversely proportional to the distance from the source squared:

I∝1/r^2

Set the proportionality:  

I_1/I_2=(r_2/r_1)^2                                 (2)

Solve for I_2 :  

I_2=I_1(r_2/r_1)^2  

I_2=0.0625 I_1

(b)  

Solve Equation (2) for r_2:  

r_2=(√I_1/I_2)*r_1

where I_2 = (1/10)*I_1:

r_2=(√I_1/1/10*I_1)*r_1

     =3.16 m
