Answer: -3.49 m/s (to the south)
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle which establishes the initial momentum
must be equal to the final momentum
, and taking into account this is aninelastic collision:
Before the collision:
(1)
After the collision:
(2)
Where:
is the mass of the car
is the velocity of the car, directed to the north
is the mass of the truck
is the velocity of the truck, directed to the south
is the final velocity of both the car and the truck
(3)
(4)
Isolating
:
(5)
(6)
Finally:
The negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity is to the south
Answer:
41.2°
Explanation:
Total internal reflection is the reflection of the incident ray at the interface between two media in which one of the media has a lower refractive index than the other. It occurs when the angle of incidence in the denser medium exceeds the critical angle.
The critical angle is the angle of incidence in the denser medium when the angle of incidence in the less dense medium is 90°.
Since
n= 1/sin C
C= sin^-(1/n)
C= sin^-(1/1.33)
C= 48.8°
Hence angle of incidence= 90-48.8 = 41.2°
Yes because as more water leaks in the more water it will displace
