To solve this problem, we must remember about the law of conservation of momentum. The initial momentum mist be equal to the final momentum, that is:

m1 v1 + m2 v2 = (m1 + m2) v’

where v’ is the speed of impact

Since we are not given the masses of each car m1 and m2, so let us assume that they are equal, such that:

m1 = m2 = m

Which makes the equation:

m v1 + m v2 = (2 m) v’

Cancelling m and substituting the v values:

50 + 48 = 2 v’

2 v’ = 98

v ‘ = 49 km/h

 

<span>The speed of impact is 49 km/h.</span>

Your neighbor Paul has rented a truck with a loading ramp. The ramp is tilted upward at 25°, and Paul is pulling a large crate u
Alisiya [41]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The ramp is tilted upwards at 25 degrees and Paul is pulling a large crate up the ramp with a rope that angles 10° above the ramp.

Total angle with respect to ramp is 35 degrees.

If Paul pulls with a force of 550 N.

The horizontal component of the force is given by :

F_x=F\ cos\theta

F_x=550\ cos(35)

F_x=450.53\ N

The vertical component of the force is given by :

F_y=F\ sin\theta

F_y=550\ sin(35)

F_y=315.46\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.

Erica throws a tennis ball against a wall, and it bounces back. Which force is responsible for sending the ball back to Erica?
Anna71 [15]

OPTIONS :

A.) the force that the ball exerts on the wall

B.) the frictional force between the wall and the ball

C.) the acceleration of the ball as it approaches the wall

D.) the normal force that the wall exerts on the ball

Answer: D.) the normal force that the wall exerts on the ball

Explanation: The normal force acting on an object can be explained as a force experienced by an object when it comes in contact with a flat surface. The normal force acts perpendicular to the surface of contact.

In the scenario described above, Erica's tennis ball experiences an opposite reaction after hitting the wall.This is in relation to Newton's 3rd law of motion, which states that, For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The reaction force in this case is the normal force exerted on the ball by the wall perpendicular to the surface of contact.

A particular light source gives off light waves with a measured wavelength of
Umnica [9.8K]

The frequency of the light source is 1.5 x 10¹⁵ Hz.

<h3>Frequency of the light source</h3>

The frequency of the light source is determined using the following equations;

c = fλ

where;

c is speed of light

f is the frequency

λ is the wavelength

f = (3 x 10⁸) / (2 x 10⁻⁷)

f = 1.5 x 10¹⁵ Hz

Thus, the frequency of the light source is 1.5 x 10¹⁵ Hz.
