(Conservation of momentum)
(Conservation of energy)
The Attempt at a Solution
I know linear momentum must be conserved on the X-axis, so
mvo=mv1x+Mv2
where v1 is the final velocity of the small mass and v2 is the final velocity of the large mass...
Hey guys, just a high school student passing by here. I've lurked a bit for a while, made this account because I saw questions that I could actually answer today (yay!). Hope to help as much as I can.
In order to attempt a solution, you need to understand how the equation λ=4L/n relates to closed-end air pipes. Let's take a crack at that.
The gist of it is that since air can only move at the open end of a closed-end pipe, 1 end of a closed-pipe must always be a node while the other end (the...
