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>

The law of universal gravitation (gravity) describes two factors that affect the force of gravity between objects. What two fact
kykrilka [37]
The force depends on the mass of both objects and the distance between them

F = G*m1*m2/r^2

So the force has a linear connection with the mass of both objects and a quadratic connection with the distance between the center of masses

A light source emits light with dominant wavelengths in the range of 650 to 690 nm. what is the principle color of light emitted
dsp73

Answer:

Please see below as the answer is self-explanatory.

Explanation:

  • The visible range extends roughly from 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red).
  • Below the violet is the ultra-violet spectrum (with higher energy) and above red, we have the infra-red spectrum.
  • The wavelengths in the range of 650 to 690 nm have red as the dominant color.

Andreyy89

Answer:

The key idea behind the synthesis, processing and application of alloys consist in combining desire qualities from each mineral component in the form of a material.

Explanation:

The key idea behind the synthesis, processing and application of alloys consist in combining desire qualities from each mineral component in the form of a material. For example, steel is the combination of iron, which is ductile but prone to rusting in wet environments, and carbon, which offers high hardness and additional resistence to rusting in wet environments, but is fragile. Hence, steel is more resistant to rusting, ductile as iron and more resistant than iron.
