You're driving in a car at 50 km/h and bump into a car ahead traveling at 48 km/h in the same direction. the speed of impact is

1 answer:

6 0

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

The speed of impact is 49 km/h.

A gun can fire a bullet at 540 m/s. If the gun is aimed at an angle of 55o above the horizontal and fired, what will be the hori

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The initial vertical velocity is 540sin55° = 442.342103... 442 m/s

The initial horizontal velocity is 540cos55° = 309.731275... 310 m/s

In the real world, both initial velocities would be reduced by air resistance and vertical velocity will be altered by gravity.

An object is given a very small amount of charge. Which of the following could

spayn [35]

5.4*10^-19 C

Explanation:

For the purposes of this question, charges essentially come in packages that are the size of an electron (or proton since they have the same magnitude of charge). The charge on an electron is -1.6*10^-19

Therefore, any object should have a charge that is a multiple of the charge of an electron - It would not make sense to have a charge equivalent to 1.5 electrons since you can't exactly split the electron in half. So the charge of any integer number of electrons can be transferred to another object.

Charge = q(electron)*n(#electrons)

Since 5.4/1.6 = 3.375, we know that it can not be the right answer because the answer is not an integer.

If you divide every other option listed by the charge of an electron, you will get an integer number.

(16*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 10

(-6.4*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = -4

(4.8*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 3

(5.4*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 3.375

(3.2*10^-19C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 2

etc.

I hope this helps!

A toroidal solenoid has an inner radius of 12.0 cm and an outer radius of 15.0 cm . It carries a current of 1.50 A . Part A How

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The number of turns, N = 1750

Explanation:

It is given that,

The inner radius of a toroid, r = 12 cm

Outer radius, r' = 15 cm

The magnetic field at points within the coils 14 cm from its center is, $B=3.75\ mT=3.75\times 10^{-3}\ T$

R = 14 cm = 0.14 m

Current, I = 1.5 A

The formula for the magnetic field at some distance from its center is given by :

$B=\dfrac{\mu_o NI}{2\pi R}$

$N=\dfrac{2\pi R B}{\mu_o I}$

$N=\dfrac{2\pi \times 0.14\times 3.75\times 10^{-3}}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 1.5}$

N = 1750

So, the number of turns must have in a toroidal solenoid is 1750. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which structures main function is to produce food (sugar) in a plant

leva [86]

Technically speaking, there are many "levels" of a plant for which this may hold true. I think the one you are referring to is the chloroplast. It takes in the light energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide, and performs photosynthesis on them to produce sugar and oxygen. A leaf would also fit the description as this is a very general question.
