A nuclear particle with no charge

A 5000-kg freight car runs into a 10,000-kg freight car at rest. They couple upon collision and move with a speed of 2 m/s. What

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

C) 6 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=5000 kg

The initial velocity of 5000 kg car =u₁

m₂=10,000 kg

The initial velocity of 10000 kg car =u₂ = 0 m/s

After collision the final speed of the both car,v = 2 m/s

There is no any external force on the system that is why linear momentum will be conserved.

Linear momentum P = m v

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₂ + m₁) v

5000 x u₁ + 10000 x 0 = (5000 + 10000) x 2

5000 x u₁ = 15000 x 2

5 x u₁ = 15 x 2

u₁ = 6 m/s

Therefore the answer is C.

C) 6 m/s

What is relative density?

Artemon [7]

Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity for liquids is nearly always measured with respect to water at its densest; for gases, the reference is air at room temperature.

Coherent light of wavelength 525 nm passes through two thin slits that are 4.15Ã—10^(âˆ’2) mm apart and then falls on a screen 7

IRINA_888 [86]

A) 4.7 cm

The formula for the angular spread of the nth-maximum from the central bright fringe for a diffraction from two slits is

$sin \theta=\frac{n \lambda}{d}$

where

n is the order of the maximum

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

$a$ is the distance between the slits

In this problem,

n = 5

$\lambda=525 nm =5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m$

$a=4.15\cdot 10^{-2} mm=4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m$

So we find

$\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(5)(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=3.62^{\circ}$

And given the distance of the screen from the slits,

$D=75.0 cm = 0.75 m$

The distance of the 5th bright fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

$y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 3.62^{\circ}=0.047 m = 4.7 cm$

B) 8.1 cm

The formula to find the nth-minimum (dark fringe) in a diffraction pattern from double slit is a bit differente from the previous one:

$sin \theta=\frac{(n+\frac{1}{2}) \lambda}{d}$

To find the angle corresponding to the 8th dark fringe, we substitute n=8:

$\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(8+\frac{1}{2})(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=6.17^{\circ}$

And the distance of the 8th dark fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

$y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 6.17^{\circ}=0.081 m = 8.1 cm$

ECONOMICS !!!!

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Absolute advantage is the capability of a commercial entity to produce goods using fewer resources compared to rivals. Using the same inputs, an entity with an absolute advantage produces a larger output compared to competitors. It means the firm has a lower marginal cost of production. Therefore, its products will have the lowest prices in the market.

An airplane travels from st louis to portland, oregon in 4.33 hours. if the distance traveled is 2,742 kilometers, what is the a

Makovka662 [10]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (total time to cover the distance)

   = (2,742 km) / (4.33 hours)

   = (2,742 / 4.33) km/hr

   = 633 km/hr (rounded)
