A 1300 kg car moving at 20 m/s and a 900 kg car moving at 15 m/s in precisely oppositedirections participate in a head-on crash.

If we consider this event to be a perfectlyinelastic collision, what is the speed and direction of the cars after the impact?a

Given

Car 1

m1 = 1300 kg

v1 = 20 m/s

m2 = 900 kg

v2 = -15 m/s

(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)

Procedure

As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,

\begin{gathered} m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \\ v=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2} \\ v=\frac{1300\operatorname{kg}\cdot20m/s-900\operatorname{kg}\cdot15m/s}{1300\operatorname{kg}+900\operatorname{kg}} \\ v=5.681m/s \end{gathered}

Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.

Answer:

Hay diversas leyes que podemos usar acá.

Acá sabemos que la vejiga aumenta su tamaño al reducir la presión, esto tiene sentido, pues al haber menos presión, hay menos fuerza que comprime la vejiga, lo que le permite aumentar su volumen.

Acá tenemos una relación inversa de la forma: V = K/P

Una relación inversa donde la presión esta en el denominador y K es un termino que no depende ni del volumen ni de la presión.

Entonces, a medida que aumenta P, el denominador aumenta, por lo que el valor del volumen decrece.

Un ejemplo de una ecuación similar es la del gas ideal, por ejemplo, para un gas ideal dentro de un globo de volumen V para una dada presión P:

V = nRT/P

donde n es el numero de moles, R es la constante termodinámica y T es la temperatura, acá podemos ver que esta ecuación tiene la misma forma fundamental que la escrita arriba.

The amount of dissolved oxygen in water may decrease because of the 
Elanso [62]
<span>The amount of dissolved oxygen in water may decrease because of the increase in organic matter in the water. <span>Aquatic organisms breathe and use oxygen. Large amounts of oxygen are consumed by the decomposition of bacteria (when there are large amounts of dead matter to decompose, there will be a significant number of bacteria). Examples: dead organic matter (algae), wastewater, garden waste, oils and fats, all this results in a decrease in dissolved oxygen in the water.</span></span>

In Newton's third law, the action and reaction forces D.)act on different objects

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force on object B (action force), then action B exerts an equal and  opposite force (reaction force) on object A"</em>

It is important to note from the statement above that the action force and the reaction force always act on different objects. Let's take an example: a man pushing a box. We have:

  • Action force: the force applied by the man on the box, forward
  • Reaction force: the force applied by the box on the man, backward

As we can see from this example, the action force is applied on the box, while the reaction force is applied on the man: this means that the two forces do not act on the same object. This implies that whenever we draw the free-body diagram of the forces acting on an object, the action and reaction forces never appear in the same diagram, since they act on different objects.
