Answer:b

Explanation:

Given

mass of first cart m_1=6 kg

mass of second cart m_2=3 kg

velocity of first cart v_1=3 m/s

conserving momentum

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v

6\times 3+3\times 0=(9)\cdot v

v=2 m/s

Initial kinetic Energy K.E._1=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2

K.E._1=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 6\cdot 3^2+0

K.E._1=27 J

Final Kinetic Energy

K.E._2=\frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v^2

K.E._2=\frac{1}{2}(6+3)\cdot 2^2=18 J

Ratio of initial Kinetic Energy to the Final Kinetic Energy

=\frac{27}{18}=1.5

Two swift canaries fly toward each other, each moving at 15.0 m/s relative to the ground, each warbling a note of frequency 1750
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Part a)

f = 1911.5 Hz

Part b)

\lambda = 0.186 m

Explanation:

Here the source and observer both are moving towards each other

so we know that the apparent frequency is given as

f' = f_0 (\frac{v + v_o}{v - v_s})

here we know that

f_0 = 1750 Hz

v_o = 15 m/s

v_s = 15 m/s

now we will have

f' = (1750)(\frac{340 + 15}{340 - 15})

f' = 1911.5 Hz

Part b)

Apparent wavelength is given by the formula

\lambda = \frac{v_{relative}}{f_{app}}

here we will have

\lambda = \frac{340 + 15}{1911.5}

\lambda = 0.186 m

Which of the following forms of radiation can penetrate up to a 2-cm layer of skin tissue?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

d). X-rays

Explanation:

X -rays are also called photons. They are a packet of electro magnetic radiation. X rays originate from the shell of the electron.  X rays are highly penetrating, and have a shorter wavelength than alpha particles and the beta particles. They are similar to the gamma rays which are also has a high penetrating power and easily pass through the human body.

 Thus X rays can penetrate a skin tissue upto 2 cm thickness.

You set a tuning fork into vibration at a frequency of 723 Hz and then drop it off the roof of the Physics building where the ac
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Original Frequency f=723\ Hz

apparent Frequency f'=697\ Hz

There is change in frequency whenever source move relative to the observer.

From Doppler effect we can write as

f'=f\cdot \frac{v-v_o}{v+v_s}

where  

f'=apparent frequency  

v=velocity of sound in the given media

v_s=velocity of source

v_0=velocity of observer  

here v_0=0

697=723\cdot (\frac{343-0}{343+v_s})

v_s=(\frac{f}{f'}-1)v

v_s=(\frac{723}{697}-1)\cdot 343

v_s=12.79\approx 12.8\ m/s

i.e.fork acquired a velocity of 12.8 m/s

distance traveled by fork is given by

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

v_s^2-0=2\times 9.8\times s

s=\frac{12.8^2}{2\times 9.8}

s=8.35\ m

B⃗ is kept constant but the coil is rotated so that the magnetic field, B⃗ , is now in the plane of the coil. How will the magne
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

<u>The flux decreases because the angle between B⃗ and the coil's axis changes.</u>

<u />

Explanation:

The flux through the coil is given by a dot product, between the magnetic field and the vector representing the area of the coil.

\Phi = \vec{B}\cdot \vec{S} = BScos(\theta)

The latter vector has direction perpendicular to the plane in which the area of the coil is, and magnitude equal to the area of the coil. As in the attached image, the vector S is the vector respresenting the area of the coil.

Therefore, the flux will be maximum when the vector S is in the same direction as B, and will be zero when they are perpendicular.

Now, if <em>the coil is rotated so that the magnetic field is in the plane of the coil </em>then, the vectors S and B are perpendicualr, and there will not be net magnetic flux, that is, the flux will decrease.

Two parallel co-axial disks are floating in deep space (far from sun and planets). Each disk is 1 meter in diameter and the disk
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

T₂ = 5646 K

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the power received by the first disc, for this we use Stefan's law

          P = σ. A e T⁴

Where next is the Stefam-Bolztmann constant with value 5,670 10-8 W / m² K⁴, A is the area of ​​the disk, T the absolute temperature and e the emissivity that for a black body is  1

The intensity is defined as the amount of radiation that arrives per unit area. For this we assume that the radiation expands uniformly in all directions, the intensity is

           I = P / A

Writing this expression for both discs

          I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂

          I₂ = I₁ A₁ / A₂

The area of ​​a sphere is

          A = 4π r²

           I₂ = I₁ (r₁ / r₂)²

          r₂ = r₁ ± 5

          I₁ = I₂ ( (r₁ ± 5)/r₁)²

.

        Let's write the Stefan equation

         P / A = σ e T⁴

          I = σ e T⁴

This is the intensity that affects the disk, substitute in the intensity equation

         σ e₁ T₁⁴ = σ e₂ T₂⁴ (r₂ / r₁)²

The first disc indicates that it is a black body whereby e₁ = 1, the second disc, as it is painted white, the emissivity is less than 1, the emissivity values ​​of the white paint change between 0.90 and 0.95, for this calculation let's use 0.90 matt white

        e₁ T₁⁴ = T₂⁴   (r1 + 5)²/r₁²

       T₁ = T₂  {(e₂/e₁)}^{1/4}  √(1 ± 1/ r₁)  

If we assume that r₁ is large, which is possible since the disks are in deep space, we can expand the last term

           (1 ±x) n = 1 ± n x

Where x = 5 / r₁ << 1

We replace

          T₁ = T₂ {(e₂/e₁)}^{1/4}  (1 ± ½   5/r1)

           T₁ = T₂ {(e₂)}^{1/4}   (1 ± 5/2 1/r1)

If the discs are far from the star, they indicate that they are in deep space, the distance r₁ from being grade by which we can approximate; this is a very strong approach

              T₁ = T₂  {(e₂)}^{1/4} ¼

              T<u>₁</u> = T₂  0.90.9^{1/4}

               5500 = T₂  0.974

               T₂ = 5646 K
