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>

A hiker determines the length of a lake by listening for the echo of her shout reflected by a cliff at the far end of the lake.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

L = 499 m

Explanation:

  • If we assume that the speed of sound is constant, that travels along a straight line, and that the echo is instantaneous, we can find the total distance travelled by the sound, as follows, just applying the definition of average velocity:

       \Delta x = v_{s} * t = 343 m/s* 2.91 s = 998 m

  • If we assume that the time needed to reach to the cliff, is the same used for the return travel, the length of the lake will be exactly half of the total distance calculated:

        l_{lake} = \frac{\Delta x}{2} = \frac{998m}{2} = 499 m

  • The length of the lake is 499 m.

Question 1 of 25
finlep [7]

Answer:

<em>2.753*10^-11N</em>

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of gravitation, the force between the masses is expressed as;

F = GMm/d²

M and m are the distances

d is the distance between the masses

Given

M = 3.71 x 10 kg

m = 1.88 x 10^4 kg

d = 1300m

G = 6.67 x 10-11 Nm²/kg

Substitute into the formula

F = 6.67 x 10-11* (3.71 x 10)*(1.88 x 10^4)/1300²

F = 46.52*10^(-6)/1.69 * 10^6

F = 27.53 * 10^{-6-6}

F = 27.53*10^{-12}

F = 2.753*10^-11

<em>Hence the gravitational force between the asteroid is 2.753*10^-11N</em>

Consider a 40,000 km steel pipe in the shape of a ring that fits snuggly all around the circumference of the Earth. We are heati
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The Height is  H = 70.02 m

Explanation:

We are given that the

                         Initial length is  = 40000\ Km = 40,000 *10^{3} m

from what we are told in the question the circumference of the circle is = 40,000 Km

  This means that the Radius would be :

         Let C denote the circumference

      So  

               C = 2 \pi r

      =>     r = \frac{C}{2 \pi}

               r = \frac{40,000}{2 \pi } = \frac{40,000*10^{3}}{2 *3.142}  = 6.365*10^6 m

We are told that 1-meter bar of steel that increases its temperature by 1 degree C will expand 11*10^{-6} meters

Hence

       The final length would be

                            40000*10^3 *(T + \alpha  )

Where T is the change in  temperature  \alpha is the Coefficient of linear expansion for steel

  let L_{final} denote the final length

   So

        L_{final} =40000*10^{6} *[1+ 11*10^{-6}]

                  = 40000440 \ m

 Now the Height is mathematically represented as

         Height(H) \ = \frac{change \ in \ radius \ }{2 \pi}

                       = \frac{(40000440-40000*10^3)}{2*3.142}

                       = 70.02m
