Hello
It is called lightning. Lightning in a storm occurs when there are two regions (it can be cloud-cloud or cloud-ground), one with a strong excess of positive charges and the other one with a strong excess of negative charges. The two types of charge attract each other, and then a sudden flow of charges from one region to the other occurs, which is called lightning.

A 1000-kg car traveling north at 15 m/s collides with a2000-kg truck traveling east at 10 m/s. The occupants, wearing seat belts
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

8.33 m/s, 36.87° North of East

Explanation:

m_n = Mass of car = 1000 kg

v_n = Velocity of car = 15 m/s

m_e = Mass of truck = 2000 kg

v_e = Velocity of truck = 10 m/s

M = Combined mass = 1000+2000 = 3000 kg

Momentum

p_n=m_nv_n\\\Rightarrow p_n=1000\times 15\\\Rightarrow p_n=15000\ kgm/s

Momentum of car traveling East is 15000 kgm/s

p_e=m_ev_e\\\Rightarrow p_n=2000\times 10\\\Rightarrow p_n=20000\ kgm/s

Momentum of truck traveling North is 20000 kgm/s

Angle

\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{p_n}{p_e}\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}\frac{15000}{20000}\\\Rightarrow \theta=36.87^{\circ}

As the two vehicles are vectors, the resultant velocity is

(Mv)^2=p_n^2+p_e^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{p_n^2+p_e^2}{M^2}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{15000^2+20000^2}{3000^2}}\\\Rightarrow v=8.33\ m/s

Velocity of the two vehicles when they are locked together is 8.33 m/s and direction is 36.87° North of East

The2 archer uses a force of 120 N. The force acts on an area of 0.5 cm2 on the archer's fingers. . Calculate the pressure on the
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Pressure = 24000 N/m²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 120N

Area = 0.5cm² to meters = 0.5/100 = 0.005 m²

To find the pressure;

Pressure= force/area

Pressure= 120/0.005

Pressure = 24000 N/m²

Therefore, the pressure on the archer's fingers is 24000 Newton per meters square.

Cheap microscopes often produce images that have colored edges. Why?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Because of the lens

Explanation:

The lens have a problem and it's the same that the atmosphere offers, if you look at the moon in the night while a cloud is close (it looks better on full moon) you can see an aura wrapping the moon, that happens because the clouds in the atmosphere divide the light and make that aura. The same happens with the lens of some microscopes, that's why the most expensive microscopes are avoiding the use of lens.
