Resultant displacement between the base camp and the cave will be 7.211 km

Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

Her resultant displacement can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem

$H^{2} = P^{2} + B^{2}$

= $4^{2} + 6^{2}$

= 52

H = $\sqrt{52}$ = 7.211 km

Resultant displacement between the base camp and the cave will be 7.211 km

When cars are equipped with flexible bumpers, they will bounce off each other during low-speed collisions, thus causing less dam

Len [333]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the heavier car m_1 = 1750 kg

Mass of the lighter car m_2 = 1350 kg

The speed of the lighter car just after collision can be represented as follows

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\\\v_2=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1}{m_2}$

$v_2=\frac{(1850)(1.4)+(1450)(-1.10)-(1850)(0.250)}{1450} \\\\=\frac{2590+(-1595)-(462.5)}{1450} \\\\=\frac{2590-1595-462.5}{1450} \\\\=\frac{532.5}{1450}\\\\=0.367m/s$

b) the change in the combined kinetic energy of the two-car system during this collision

$\Delta K.E=(\frac{1}{2} m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v_2^2)-(\frac{1}{2} m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2u_2^2)\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (m_1(v_1^2-u_1^2)+m_2(v_2^2-u_2^2))$

substitute the value in the equation above

$=\frac{1}{2} (1850((0.250)^2-(1.4)^2)+(1450((0.3670)^2-(-1.10)^2)\\\\=\frac{1}{2}(11850(0.0625-1.96)+(1450(0.1347)-(1.21))\\\\= \frac{1}{2}(11850(-1.8975))+(1450(-1.0753))\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (-3510.375+(-1559.185)\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (-5069.56)\\\\=-2534.78J$

Hence, the change in combine kinetic energy is -2534.78J

Find the change in kinetic energy of a 1.0 kg fish leaping to the right at 12.0 m/s.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of fish = 1kg

Velocity = 12m/s

Unknown:

Change in kinetic energy = ?

Solution:

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. It is mathematically given as:

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}$ m v²

Now, insert the parameters and solve;

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 1 x 12 = 6J

The change in kinetic energy is 6J

Consider a variety of colors of visible light (say 400 nm to 700 nm) falling onto a pair of slits.

babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relationship between angle and wavelength for maxima and minima in Young's double slit experiment is given by

For constructive interference

$d\sin \theta =m\lambda$

For Destructive interference

$d\sin \theta =(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda$

where $\lambda =wavelength$

$d=slit\ width$

m=order of maxima and minima

for second order maxima i.e. $m=2$

For smallest separation taking $\lambda =400 nm, \theta =90^{\circ}$

$d\sin 90=2\times 400\times 10^{-9}$

$d=0.8\times 10^{-6}$

$d=0.8\mu m$

Tech A says that as engines gain miles, the spark plug gap increases, which raises the ignition system’s available voltage. Tech

Ugo [173]

Answer: Tech A is correct

Explanation:

Every vehicle has ignition system and without this system,it will not work. The battery of everything vehicle contain energy that start the vehicle and ignore it to start working. Electrical current move from the vehicle's battery and get to the induction coil, the induction coil increases the voltage in it so that the plug will be ignited. The spark plugs produce fire. The spark plug is connected to the ignition system. Once voltage is produced from the induction coil, electrical impulses move from induction coil to insulated plug wires. The spark plug need a very high voltage from the small voltage battery. Once the high voltage exceed the dielectric strength of the gases, spark jump the gap between the plug's fire end.
