Answer:

Explanation:

1 . The two busses continue together at the same speed.

FALSE STATEMENT .

The small bus will have twice the velocity of bigger bus  velocity in the same direction . The bigger bus will continue with the same velocity .

2. Mechanical energy is conserved

TRUE STATEMENT.

3  The small bus exerts the same amount of force on the big bus as vice versa.

TRUE STATEMENT.

4.Momentum is conserved

TRUE STATEMENT.

5.The small bus will go backwards

FALSE STATEMENT .

The small bus will have twice the velocity of bigger bus  velocity in the same direction .

A maser is a laser-type device that produces electromagnetic waves with frequencies in the microwave and radio-wave bands of the
rusak2 [61]

Answers:

a) T=7.04(10)^{-10} s

b) 5.11(10)^{12} cycles

c) 2.06(10)^{26} cycles

d) 46000 s

Explanation:

<h2>a) Time for one cycle of the radio wave</h2>

We know the maser radiowave has a frequency f of 1,420,405,751.786 cycles/s

In addition we know there is an inverse relation between frequency and time T:

f=\frac{1}{T} (1)

Isolating  T: T=\frac{1}{f} (2)

T=\frac{1}{1,420,405,751.786 cycles/s} (3)

T=7.04(10)^{-10} s (4) This is the time for 1 cycle

<h2>b) Cycles that occur in 1 h</h2>

If 1h=3600s and we already know the amount of cycles per second 1,420,405,751.786 cycles/s, then:

1,420,405,751.786 \frac{cycles}{s}(3600s)=5.11(10)^{12} cycles This is the number of cycles in an hour

<h2>c) How many cycles would have occurred during the age of the earth, which is estimated to be 4.6(10)^{9} years?</h2>

Firstly, we have to convert this from years to seconds:

4.6(10)^{9} years \frac{365 days}{1 year} \frac{24 h}{1 day} \frac{3600 s}{1 h}=1.45(10)^{17} s

Now we have to multiply this value for the frequency of the maser radiowave:

1,420,405,751.786 cycles/s (1.45(10)^{17} s)=2.06(10)^{26} cycles This is the number of cycles in the age of the Earth

<h2>d) By how many seconds would a hydrogen maser clock be off after a time interval equal to the age of the earth?</h2>

If we have 1 second out for every 100,000 years, then:

4.6(10)^{9} years \frac{1 s}{100,000 years}=46000 s

This means the maser would be 46000 s off after a time interval equal to the age of the earth

What was the voltage on the battery for the #2 series circuit with two light bulbs?A: 4 VB: 18 VC: 4.5 VD: 9 V
Ghella [55]

We are given a series circuit with two light bulbs. In this case, the light bulbs act as resistors in series and the total resistance is:

R_t=R_1+R_2

That is the sum of all the resistances in series in the circuit. To determine the voltage we can use Ohm's law:

V=IR

Where "R" is the total resistance and "I" is the current in the circuit. Replacing we get:

V=I(R_1+R_2)

Suppose that you are swimming in a river while a friend watches from the shore. In calm water, you swim at a speed of 1.25 m/s .
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: The observing friend will the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s.

Explanation:

  • Let <em>S</em> be the speed of the swimmer, given as 1.25 m/s
  • Let S_{0} be the speed of the river's current given as 1.00 m/s.

  • Note that this speed is the magnitude of the velocity which is a vector quantity.
  • The direction of the swimmer is upstream.

Hence the resultant velocity is given as, S_{R} = S — S 0S_{0}

S_{R} = 1.25 — 1

S_{R} = 0.25 m/s.

Therefore, the observing friend will see the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s due to resistance produced by the current of the river.
