Answer:

20.45%

Explanation:

The probability that the student got a B is

\frac{total\#of\text{ students that got B}}{\text{total students }}\times100\%

Now, how many students are there in total?

The answer is

10+3+16+4+6+5=44\; \text{students}

How many students got a B?

The answer is

3+6=9\; \text{students}

therefore, the probability that the student has got a B is

\frac{9\text{ students }}{44\text{ students }}\times100\%=20.45\%

Hence, the probability that a student has got a B is 20.45%

A 1000 kg car moving a 10 m/s collides with a stationary 2000 kg truck. The two vehicles interlock as a result of the collision.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

v₃ = 3.33 [m/s]

Explanation:

This problem can be easily solved using the principle of linear momentum conservation. Which tells us that momentum is preserved before and after the collision.

In this way, we can propose the following equation in which everything that happens before the collision will be located to the left of the equal sign and on the right the moment after the collision.

(m_{1}*v_{1})+(m_{2}*v_{2})=(m_{1}+m_{2})*v_{3}

where:

m₁ = mass of the car = 1000 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the car = 10 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of the truck = 2000 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of the truck = 0 (stationary)

v₃ = velocity of the two vehicles after the collision [m/s].

Now replacing:

(1000*10)+(2000*0)=(1000+2000)*v_{3}\\v_{3}=3.33[m/s]

Sonja [21]

Answer

2) 1.5×10-2 m

Explanation

The potential difference is related to the electric field by:

\Delta V=Ed (1)

where

\Delta V is the potential difference

E is the electric field

d is the distance

We want to know the distance the detectors have to be placed in order to achieve an electric field of

E=1 V/cm=100 V/m

when connected to a battery with potential difference

\Delta V=1.5 V

Solving the equation (1) for d, we find

d=\frac{\Delta V}{E}=\frac{1.5 V}{100 V/m}=0.015 m=1.5 \cdot 10^{-2} m

Calculate the magnitude of the total impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Total impulse = mv = Initial momentum of the car

Explanation:

Let the mass of the car be 'm' kg moving with a velocity 'v' m/s.

The final velocity of the car is 0 m/s as it is brought to rest.

Impulse is equal to the product of constant force applied to an object for a very small interval. Impulse is also calculated as the total change in the linear momentum of an object during the given time interval.

The magnitude of impulse is the absolute value of the change in momentum.

|J|=|p_f-p_i|

Momentum of an object is equal to the product of its mass and velocity.

So, the initial momentum of the car is given as:

p_i=mv

The final momentum of the car is given as:

p_f=m(0)=0

Therefore, the impulse is given as:

|J|=|p_f-p_i|=|0-mv|=|-mv|=mv

Hence, the magnitude of the impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest is equal to the initial momentum of the car.

Imagine a particle that has three times the mass of the electron. All other quantities given above remain the same. What is the
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The only parameter that changes is mass m

It is only necessary to calculate the ratio Eh/Ee

m_{h}=3m_{e}\\E_{h}=\frac{3m_{e}v^{2}}{2}\\E_{e}=\frac{m_{e}v^{2}}{2}\\\frac{E{h}}{E{e}}=3

The kinetic energy of the heavy paricle is three times the kinetic energy of an electron
