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 certain spring exerts a nonlinear force given by F(x) = −60x − 18x2 , where x is in meters and F is in newtons. A 0.90-kg bloc
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

a)  W = 6.75 J and b) v = 3.87 m / s

Explanation:

a) In the problem the force is nonlinear and they ask us for work, so we must use it's definition

      W = ∫ F. dx

Bold indicates vectors.  In a spring the force is applied in the direction of movement, whereby the scalar product is reduced to the ordinary product

     W = ∫ F dx

We replace and integrate

    W = ∫ (-60 x - 18 x²) dx

    W = -60 x²/2 -18 x³/3

Let's evaluate between the integration limits, lower W = 0 for x = -0.50 m, to the upper limit W = W for x = 0 m

    W = -30 [0- (-0.50) 2] -6 [0 - (- 0.50) 3]

    W = 7.5 - 0.75

    W = 6.75 J

b)  Work is equal to the variation of kinetic energy

    W = ΔK

    W = ΔK = ½ m v² -0

    v =√ 2W/m

    v = √(2 6.75/ 0.90)

    v = 3.87 m / s

A girl at an airport rolls a ball north on a moving walking that moves east. If the ball’s speed with respect to the walkway is
sweet-ann [11.9K]

We have to add two vectors.

Vector #1: 0.15 m/s north

Vector #2: 1.50 m/s east

Their sum:

Magnitude: √(0.15² + 1.50²)

Magnitude = √(0.0225+2.25)

Magnitude = √2.2725

Magnitude = <em>1.5075 m/s</em>

Direction = arctan(0.15/1.50) north of east

Direction = <em>5.71° north of east</em>

9) Of all the types of light the Sun gives off, it emits the greatest amount of light at visible wavelengths of light. If the Su
erastova [34]

Answer:

*  most of the emission would be in the infrared part, the visible radiation would be very small.

*total intensity of the semition decreases that the intensity depends on the fourth power of the temperature

Explanation:

The radiation emitted by the Sun is approximately the radiation of a black body, if the Sun were to cool, the maximum emission wavelength changes

          λ T = 2,898 10⁻³

          λ = 2,898 10⁻³ / T

if the temperature decreases the maximum wavelength the greater values ​​are moved, that is to say towards the infrared. Therefore the emission curve also moves, in this case most of the emission would be in the infrared part, the visible radiation would be very small.

Furthermore, the total intensity of the semition decreases that the intensity depends on the fourth power of the temperature according to Stefan's law

           P = σ A eT⁴
