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.

A hot air balloon lifts 50 meters vertically into the air and then comes back down. What are the displacement and distance of th
Marysya12 [62]

Given that a hot air balloon lifts 50 meters vertically into the air and then comes back down.

The displacement is the distance covered in a specific direction.

When the balloon is going up, the displacement is positive. and when the balloon is coming down, the displacement is negative.

The total displacement = 50 - 50 = 0

The distance is a measurement of length between to different points or position.

For distance, there is no need to consider direction. There is no consideration for positive or negative signs

While the distance = 50 + 50 = 100 meters

Therefore, the correct answer is C

That is, The displacement is zero and the distance is 100 meters

Identify the type of electrification of the road
Arte-miy333 [17]
Electrification is widely considered as a viable strategy for reducing the oil dependency and environmental impacts of road transportation. In pursuit of this strategy, most attention has been paid to electric cars. However, substantial, yet untapped, potentials could be realized in urban areas through the large-scale introduction of electric two-wheelers.

according to newton's third law, when a horse pulls on a cart, the cart pulls back on the horse with an equal force on the horse
Debora [2.8K]
Based on Newton's principle, whenever objects A and B interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other.

When a horse pulls on a cart, t<span>he horse exerts a force only to the cart. But that force applies only to the cart, not to the horse.
 
The cart in turn exerts a force on the horse. But that force applies only to the horse, not the cart also.
</span>
There are two forces resulting from this interaction - a force on the horse and a force on the cart. T<span>he net force on the cart remains as it was --- a positive force in the direction of the horse's movement. Therefore, the cart begins to accelerate and move.</span><span>

Unpolarized light with an intensity of 22.4 ????ux passes through a polarizer whose transmission axis is vertically oriented. (a
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

a)      I₁ = 11.2 Lux , vertical direction , b)      I₂ = 1.44 Lux

Explanation:

a) A polarized is a system that absorbs light that is not polarized in the direction of its axis, therefore half of the non-polarized light must be absorbed

consequently the above the processed light has half of the incident intensity and the directional of the polarized

          I₁ = I₀ / 2

          I₁ = 22.4 / 2

          I₁ = 11.2 Lux

is polarized in the vertical direction

b) The polarized light falls on a second polarizer, therefore it must comply with the law of Malus

         I₂ = I₁ cos² θ

         I₂ = 11.2 cos² 69

         I₂ = 1.44 Lux
