A 1750kg bumpercar moving at 1.50m/s to the right collides elastically with a 1450kg car going to the left at 1.10m/s. The 1750k

g car speed afterwards is 0.250m/s to the right. What is the speed of the 1450kg car after the collision?

Which type of telescope does not require darkness in order to be able to use it?

exis [7]

Answer:

A type of telescope that does not require darkness in order to be able to use it is the refracting telescope

Explanation:

A refracting telescope consists of a lens and an eyepiece collects light which is then focused to present a magnified, bright and clear image.

The incident light on a refracting telescope is bent by refraction such that the light is focused to the focal point.

In refracting telescopes, the image is formed by bending light, that is by refraction.

The refracting telescope technology has been applied to binoculars and camera zoom lenses.

You’ve made the finals of the science Olympics. As one of your tasks you’re given 1.0 g of copper and asked to make a cylindrica

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Length = 2.92 m

Diameter = 0.11 mm

Explanation:

We have $m = dl D \ \ \& \ \ \ R = \frac{\rho l}{A}$ , where:

$l$ is the length

$m = 1.0 g = 1 \times 10^{-3} \ kg\\R = 1.3 \ \Omega\\\rho = 1.7 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m\\d = 8.96 \ g/cm^3 = 8960 kg/m^3$

We divide the first equation by the second equation to get:

$\frac{m}{R} = \frac{d A^2}{\rho}$

$A^2 = \frac{m \rho}{dR} \\\\A^2 = \frac { 1 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.7 \times 10^{-8}}{8960 \times 1.3}\\\\A^2 = 1.5 \times 10^{-15}\\\\ A= 3.8 \times 10^{-8} \ m^2$

Using this Area, we find the diameter of the wire:

$D = \sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi}}$

$D = \sqrt{\frac{4 \times 3.8 \times 10^{-8} }{\pi}}$

$D = 0.00011 \ m = 1.1 \times 10^ {-4} = 0.11 \ mm$

To find the length, we multiply the two equations stated initially:

$mR = d\rho l^2\\\\l^2 = \frac{mR}{d\rho} \\\l^2 = \frac {1.0 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.3}{8960 \times 1.7\times 10^{-8}}$

$l^2 = 8.534\\l = 2.92 \ m$

An airplane starts from A and flies to B at a constant speed. After reaching B it returns to A at the same speed. There was no w

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

When there is wind it takes longer

Explanation:

With no wind, the round trip time is

$t_1=\frac{d}{v}+\frac{d}{v}=\frac{2d}{v}$

When we have a constant wind speed w

$t_2=\frac{d}{v-w} +\frac{d}{v+w} =\frac{2vd}{v^{2} -w^{2}}$

comparing the reciprocal times;

$\frac{1}{t_2}=\frac{v^{2}-w^{2} }{2vd}=\frac{v}{2d}-\frac{w^{2}}{2vd} \leq \frac{v}{2d}=\frac{1}{t_1}$

This means that t1 is smaller than t2, ergo, it takes longer with wind

Archaeologists use the radioactive decay of carbon-14 to estimate the age of fossils and can be used on samples of bone, cloth,

timama [110]

The answer should be 11,460 because the first half-life leaves 50 percent left and the next half-life would leave 25 percent which dates the bones at 11,460 years old.
