A car is driving directly north on the freeway at a speed of 119 km/h and a truck is leaving the freeway driving 87.7 km/h in a

direction that is 35° west of north. Assume north to be in the +y-direction and east to be in the +x-direction.
What is the magnitude of the velocity of the truck relative to the car?

The magnitude of the velocity of the truck relative to the car is 183.9 km/h

The direction of the velocity of the truck relative to the car is 67 ⁰ north of west.

<h3>Velocity of the truck relative to the car</h3>

The velocity of the truck relative to the car is the resultant velocity of the vehicles.

The resultant velocity of the car is calculated as follows;

<h3>Vertical component of the velocity</h3>

Vyi = 119 km/h

Vy2 = 87.7 km/h x sin(35) = 50.3 km/h

Vy(total) = 119 km/h + 50.3 km/h = 169.3 km/h

<h3>Horizontal component of the velocity</h3>

Vx = -87.7 x cos(35) = -71.84 km

<h3>Resultant velocity</h3>

v = √Vy² + Vx²

v = √[(169.3²) + (-71.84)²]

v = 183.9 km/h

<h3>Direction of the velocity</h3>

θ = arc tan(Vy/Vx)

θ = arc tan(169.3 / -71.84)

θ = -67 ⁰

θ = 67 ⁰ north of west.

Thus, the magnitude of the velocity of the truck relative to the car is 183.9 km/h and the direction of the velocity of the truck relative to the car is 67 ⁰ north of west.

From laboratory measurements, we know that a particular spectral line formed by hydrogen appears at a wavelength of 121.6 nanome
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

b) The star is moving away from us.

Explanation:

If an object moves toward us, the light waves it emits are compressed - the wavelength of the light will be shorter, making the light bluer. On the other hand, if an object moves away from us, the light waves are stretched, making it redder. If from laboratory measurements we know that a specific hydrogen spectral line appears at the wavelength of 121.6 nanometers (nm) and the spectrum of a particular star shows the same hydrogen line appearing at the wavelength of 121.8 nm, we can conclude that the star is moving away from npos, since the wavelength related to that star is more expanded.

Elena L [17]

The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one celsius degree is called a calorie.

<h3>How can you define calorie?</h3>

In physics, we can define it as a unit of measurement that defines the amount of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram  of water by 1°C. Each material has its unique calorie, however by definition we use water as it is the lowest of all the elements.

Normally, calorimetry is directly linked with the thermal capacity that an element has to contain heat.
