D = distance between the cars at the start of time = 680 km

v₁ = speed of one car

v₂ = speed of other car = v₁ - 10

t = time taken to meet = 4 h

distance traveled by one car in time "t" + distance traveled by other car in time "t" = D

v₁ t + v₂ t = D

(v₁ + v₂) t = D

inserting the values

(v₁ + v₁ - 10) (4) = 680

v₁ = 90 km/h

rate of slower car is given as

v₂ = v₁ - 10

v₂ = 90 - 10 = 80 km/h

Alecsey [184]
If you've ever mixed water and oil together,you've probably noticed that the oil rises to the top and the water stays at the bottom-- no matter how much you try to shake them. This is because oil is less dense than water, making it float to the top. The molecules in oil are larger than those in water, so they don't pack as tightly together as they do in water. In a mixture of oil and vinegar, the<span> </span>oil <span>floats on the </span>vinegar/<span>water mixture, while the solids sink to the bottom. So, if one material floats over another, the material on top is less dense.

Before starting this problem, review Conceptual Example 3 in your text. Suppose that the hail described there comes straight dow
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

0.9 N

Explanation:

The force exerted on an object is related to its change in momentum by:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

where

F is the force exerted

\Delta p is the change in momentum

\Delta t is the time interval

The change in momentum can be rewritten as

\Delta p = m(v-u)

where

m is the mass

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

So the formula can be rewritten as

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}

In this problem we have:

\frac{m}{\Delta t}=0.030 kg/s is the mass rate

u=-15 m/s is the initial velocity

v=+15 m/s is the final velocity

Therefore, the force exerted by the hail on the roof is:

F=(0.030)(+15-(-15))=0.9 N

Calculate the final speed of a 110-kg rugby player who is initially running at 8.00 m/s but collides head-on with a padded goalp
Contact [7]
<span>The answer is -0.8 m/s. We know acceleration is the average of final minus initial velocity over time (a = (vf-v0)/t). We also know that Force is equal to Mass times Acceleration (F = ma). Using our force equation, we know that the acceleration we get is negative 8.8 (-8.8). The force is acting in the opposite direction of the rugby player, hence the negative sign. From there, plug in that number for a in the velocity equation, and solve for vf, as v0 and t are known. We get 0.8 m/s in the opposite direction that the player was running.</span>
