A green truck is moving to the right. A red truck is moving to the left with a speed of 6 m/s. The mass of the red truck is 1,00

0 kg and the mass of the green truck is 3,000 kg. How fast must the green truck be moving such that ,if it collides head-on with the red truck and the two trucks stick together, the final velocity of the two trucks is zero

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of red truck = 1000 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of green truck= 3000 kg

$u_1$ = Initial Velocity of red truck = 6 m/s

$u_2$ = Initial Velocity of green truck

$v$ = Velocity with which they move together = 0

For elastic collision

$m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =0\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =0\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\frac{m_1u_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\frac{1000\times 6}{3000}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-2\ m/s$

Velocity of the green truck is 2 m/s

A "biconvex" lens is one in which both surfaces of the lens bulge outwards. Suppose you had a biconvex lens with radii of curvat

Stolb23 [73]

Answer: f=150cm in water and f=60cm in air.

Explanation: Focal length is a measurement of how strong light is converged or diverged by a system. To find the variable, it can be used the formula:

$\frac{1}{f}$ = (nglass - ni)( $\frac{1}{R1}$ - $\frac{1}{R2}$ ).

nglass is the index of refraction of the glass;

ni is the index of refraction of the medium you want, water in this case;

R1 is the curvature through which light enters the lens;

R2 is the curvature of the surface which it exits the lens;

Substituting and calculating for water (nwater = 1.3):

$\frac{1}{f}$ = (1.5 - 1.3)( $\frac{1}{10}$ - $\frac{1}{15}$ )

$\frac{1}{f}$ = 0.2( $\frac{1}{30}$ )

f = $\frac{30}{0.2}$ = 150

For air (nair = 1):

$\frac{1}{f}$ = (1.5 - 1)( $\frac{1}{10}$ - $\frac{1}{15}$ )

f = $\frac{30}{0.5}$ = 60

In water, the focal length of the lens is f = 150cm.

In air, f = 60cm.

Change in momentum: finial momentum - initial momentum
Momentum = mass * velocity
Mass = 100g, same as 0.1kg
m(v-u) = 0.1(10-2) = 0.1(8)
The answer is 0.8Ns

Answer:

a) $\vec F_{B} = 8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$ , b) $\vec F_{B} = -8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$

Explanation:

a) The magnetic force experimented by a particle has the following vectorial form:

$\vec F_{B} = q\cdot \vec v \times \vec B$

The charge of the electron is equal to $-1.602\times 10^{-19}\,C$ . Then, cross product can be solved by using determinants:

$\vec F_{B} = \begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\-4.165\times 10^{-13}\, C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &-5.126\times 10^{-13}\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &0\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} \\0.041\,T&-0.16\,T&0\,T\end{vmatrix}$

The magnetic force is:

$\vec F_{B} = 8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$

b) The charge of the proton is equal to $1.602\times 10^{-19}\,C$ . Then, cross product has the following determinant:

$\vec F_{B} = \begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\4.165\times 10^{-13}\, C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &5.126\times 10^{-13}\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &0\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} \\0.041\,T&-0.16\,T&0\,T\end{vmatrix}$

The magnetic force is:

$\vec F_{B} = -8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$
