The combined momentum is 4000 kg m/s south

Explanation:

The total combined momentum of the two cars is given by the vector addition of the momenta of the two cars.

For this problem, we choose north as positive direction and south as negative direction.

The momentum of the first car travelling north is given by:

$p_1 = m_1 v_1$

where

$m_1 = 1600 kg$ is the mass of the car

$v_1 = +8 m/s$ is its velocity

Substituting,

$p_1 = (1600)(8)=+12800 kg m/s$

The momentum of the second car travelling south is given by:

$p_2 = m_2 v_2$

where

$m_2 = 1400 kg$ is the mass of the car

$v_2= -12 m/s$ is its velocity (negative because the car travels south)

Substituting,

$p_2 = (1400)(-12)=-16800 kg m/s$

And therefore, the combined momentum is

$p=p_1 + p_2 = +12800 + (-16800)=-4000 kg m/s$

where the negative sign means the direction of the total momentum is south.

Which properties define light as a wave?

Naddik [55]

Properties that define the light is a wave are

1. Speed : speed of light is 300,000 Km /s, It is most fundamenta property of light to define light is a wave

2. Reflection: Light particles or photons reflect off the particles or masses are continue to travel at the same speed.

Why is it possible to throw a 0.145 kg baseball much further than a 7 kg bowling ball

Lilit [14]

Simply because the baseball is much lighter than the bowling ball. Making it easier for the average adult to throw the baseball farther than the bowling ball

A 0.500-kg mass suspended from a spring oscillates with a period of 1.36 s. How much mass must be added to the object to change

lord [1]

The mass that must be added is 0.628 kg

Explanation:

The period of a mass-spring system is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

where

m is the mass

k is the spring constant

For the initial mass-spring system in the problem, we have

m = 0.500 kg

T = 1.36 s

Solving for k, we find the spring constant:

$k=(\frac{2\pi}{T})^2 m = (\frac{2\pi}{1.36})^2 (0.500)=10.7 N/m$

In the second part, we want the period of the same system to be

T = 2.04 s

Therefore, the mass on the spring in this case must be

$m=(\frac{T}{2\pi})^2 k =(\frac{2.04}{2\pi})^2 (10.7)=1.128 kg$

Therefore, the mass that must be added is

$\Delta m = 1.128 - 0.500 = 0.628 kg$

1. Nyatakan prinsip Bernoulli.

nignag [31]

Answer:

prinsip bernoulli

Explanation:

Prinsip Bernoulli adalah sebuah istilah di dalam mekanika fluida yang menyatakan bahwa pada suatu aliran fluida, peningkatan pada kecepatan fluida akan menimbulkan penurunan tekanan pada aliran tersebut. Prinsip ini sebenarnya merupakan penyederhanaan dari Persamaan Bernoulli yang menyatakan bahwa jumlah energi pada suatu titik di dalam suatu aliran tertutup sama besarnya dengan jumlah energi di titik lain pada jalur aliran yang sama. Prinsip ini diambil dari nama ilmuwan Belanda/Swiss yang bernama Daniel Bernoulli.
