<span>The 2nd truck was overloaded with a load of 16833 kg instead of the permissible load of 8000 kg. The key here is the conservation of momentum. For the first truck, the momentum is 0(5100 + 4300) The second truck has a starting momentum of 60(5100 + x) And finally, after the collision, the momentum of the whole system is 42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + x) So let's set the equations for before and after the collision equal to each other. 0(5100 + 4300) + 60(5100 + x) = 42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + x) And solve for x, first by adding the constant terms 0(5100 + 4300) + 60(5100 + x) = 42(14500 + x) Getting rid of the zero term 60(5100 + x) = 42(14500 + x) Distribute the 60 and the 42. 60*5100 + 60x = 42*14500 + 42x 306000 + 60x = 609000 + 42x Subtract 42x from both sides 306000 + 18x = 609000 Subtract 306000 from both sides 18x = 303000 And divide both sides by 18 x = 16833.33 So we have the 2nd truck with a load of 16833.33 kg, which is well over it's maximum permissible load of 8000 kg. Let's verify the results by plugging that mass into the before and after collision momentums. 60(5100 + 16833.33) = 60(21933.33) = 1316000 42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + 16833.33) = 42(31333.33) = 1316000 They match. The 2nd truck was definitely over loaded.</span>

A car with a mass of 2000 kg is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 25 m/s per second. The curve has a radiu
IrinaK [193]
The centripetal force is:
 F = mv² / R
 Where:
 m: mass of the object
 v: object speed
 R: radius of the curve.
 We have to:
 m = 2000kg
 v = 25 m / s
 R = 80 meters.
 Then the centripetal force acting on the vehicle is:
 F = (2000kg * (25m / s) ²) / 80m
 F = 15625 N

If a galaxy has an apparent velocity of 2300 km/s, what is its distance if the Hubble constant is assumed to be 70 km/s/Mpc
prohojiy [21]

The distance of the galaxy is 32.86 Mpc.

Using the hubble law, v = H₀D where v = apparent velocity of galaxy = 2300 km/s, H = hubble constant = 70 km/s/Mpc and D = distance of galaxy.

Since we require the distance of the galaxy, we make D subject of the formula in the equation. So, we have

D = v/H₀

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

D = 2300 km/s ÷ 70 km/s/Mpc

D = 32.86 Mpc

So, the distance of the galaxy is 32.86 Mpc

In a Young's double-slit experiment, 610-nm-wavelength light is sent through the slits. The intensity at an angle of 2.95° from
Sliva [168]

Answer:

spacing between the slits is 405.32043 ×10^{-9}  m

Explanation:

Given data

wavelength = 610 nm

angle = 2.95°

central bright fringe = 85%

to find out

spacing between the slits

solution

we know that spacing between slit is

I = 4I_{0} × cos²∅/2

so

I/4I_{0}  = cos²∅/2

here I/4I_{0} is 85 % = 0.85

so

0.85 = cos²∅/2

cos∅/2 = √0.85

∅ = 2 ×cos^{-1} 0.921954

∅  = 45.56°

∅  = 45.56° ×π/180 = 0.7949 rad

and we know that here

∅  = 2π d sinθ / wavelength

so

d = ∅× wavelength /  ( 2π  sinθ )

put all value

d = 0.795 × 610×10^{-9} / ( 2π  sin2.95 )

d = 405.32043 ×10^{-9}  m

spacing between the slits is 405.32043 ×10^{-9}  m

What does the galaxy made of ?​
ICE Princess25 [194]
Galaxies are sprawling systems of dust, gas, dark matter, and anywhere from a million to a trillion stars that are held together by gravity. Nearly all large galaxies are thought to also contain supermassive black holes at their centers.

A radar antenna is tracking a satellite orbiting the earth. At a certain time, the radar screen shows the satellite to be 118 km
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x component 60.85 m

y component 101.031 m

Explanation:

We have given distance r = 118 km

Angle which makes from ground = 58.9°

(a) X component of distance  is given by r_x=rcos\Theta =118\times cos58.9=118\times 0.5165=118=60.85m

(b) Y component of distance is given by r_Y=rcos\Theta =118\times sin58.9=118\times 0.8562=101.0316m

These are the x and y component of position vector
