Um of momenta = 0( Since both the cars stop) 
<span>Let m1 be the mass of the cadillac and m2 be the mass of the volkswagen. </span>
<span>then, v1=speed of cadillac and v2=speed of volkswagen. </span>
<span>Therefore, (m1)*(v1) + (m2)*(v2) = 0 </span>
<span>Substituting, </span>
<span>(1000*4) + (2000*v2) = 0 </span>
<span>4000 = - 2000 v2 </span>
<span>Therefore, v2= - 2 m/s. </span>

Bacteria vary somewhat in size, but a diameter of 2.9 μm is not unusual.
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

a) 6.4 x 10^-12 cm^3

b) 17 x 10^-6 mm^2

Explanation

a). The shape is assumed to be spherical The volume = volume of a sphere = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

= 6.3715 μm^3

1 μm^3 = 10^-12 cm^3

6.3715 μm^3 = 6.3715 x 10^-12 cm^3

==> 6.4 x 10^-12 cm^3

Sugar dissolving in hot tea is an example of which characteristic property?
morpeh [17]
It's solubility. Solubility is a measure of the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent; maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in solvent at a specific temperature. Solute is substance being dissolved. Solvent is the substance that is doing the dissolving; the part of the solution that is present in the greatest quantity.

An object is realsed From rest . how far does it fall during the second second of fall?​
Savatey [412]

Answer:

14.715 m

Explanation:

Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2 downwards, take downwards as positive

First second:

v = u + at

v = 9.81 m/s

Second second:

s = ut + (1/2)at^2

s = 9.81(1) + (1/2)(9.81)(1)^2

s = 14.715 m

A 4.50-volt personal stereo uses 1950 joules of electrical energy in one hour. what is the electrical resistance of the personal
saveliy_v [14]
The stereo uses an energy of E=1950 J in a time t=1 h=3600 s, therefore the power of the stereo is given by
P= \frac{E}{t}= \frac{1950 J}{3600 s}=0.54 W

We also know that the power of an electrical device is related to its voltage, V, and its resistance, R, by the following equation
P= \frac{V^2}{R}
therefore, we can rearrange the equation to calculate the resistance of the stereo:
R= \frac{V^2}{P}= \frac{(4.5 V)^2}{0.54 W}=37.5 \Omega

A parallel plate capacitor is made of two large plates ofarea
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

C = \frac{\epsilon_0 \epsilon_1 A}{\epsilon_0 t + \epsilon_1(a-t)}\\

Explanation:

If there is a dielectric slab with thickness less than the distance between the plates is inserted inside a capacitor, then that capacitor can be regarded as two capacitors connected in series.

Let's assume that the slab is placed onto the lower side. So, the capacitance of that part of the capacitor, C1 is

C_1 = \epsilon_1\frac{A}{t}

where \epsilon_1 is the permittivity of the slab.

The other part of the capacitor is

C_2 = \epsilon_0 \frac{A}{a-t}

Two capacitors are connected in series:

\frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2} = \frac{1}{\epsilon_1 \frac{A}{t}} + \frac{1}{\epsilon_0 \frac{A}{a-t}} = \frac{t}{\epsilon_1 A} + \frac{a-t}{\epsilon_0 A} = \frac{\epsilon_0 t + \epsilon_1 (a-t)}{\epsilon_0 \epsilon_1 A}\\C = \frac{\epsilon_0 \epsilon_1 A}{\epsilon_0 t + \epsilon_1(a-t)}

If we know the charge of the plates, we could relate the potential V0 to capacitance via

C = \frac{Q}{V_0}
