A 833 kg automobile is sliding on an icy street. It collides with a parked car which has a mass of 561 kg. The two cars lock up

and slide together with a speed of 16.8 km/h. What was the speed of the first car just before the collision?

Answer:

The speed of the first car just before the collision is 7.841 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the automobile, m = 833 kg

Mass of the parked car, m' = 561 kg

The final speed of the cars lock up and slide together with a speed of 16.8 km/h, V = 16.8 km/h = 4.67 m/s

If two cars lock up and slide together, then it is the case of inelastic collision. The momentum will remains conserved such as :

mv+m'v'=(m+m')V

v is the speed of the first car

v' is the speed of the second car that is at rest

So,

mv=(m+m')V

v=\dfrac{(m+m')V}{m}

v=\dfrac{(833+561)\times 4.67}{833}

v=7.81\ m/s

So, the speed of the first car just before the collision is 7.841 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Gauss's law is usualy written as :
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

(a) the net charge inside the closed surface.

Explanation:

In Gauss' Law, Qencl refers to the net charge inside the Gaussian surface. This surface is usually taken as a symmetric geometric surface, but this is merely for simplicity. Gauss' Law holds for any closed surface. Inside this surface there can be insulators as well as conductors. Regardless of the geometry or the materials inside, Qencl refers to the net charge inside the closed surface. The charge outside the surface is irrelevant for Gauss' Law, therefore all the charge in the physical system is not included in Gauss' Law.

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. What best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter?
Marina86 [1]

The speed of sound is greater in ice (4000 m/s), then in water (1500 m/s), then in air (340 m/s). The explanation for this is the differente state of the matter in the three cases.

In fact, sound waves travel faster in solids (like ice), then in liquids (like water), then in gases (like air). This is because the speed of the sound wave depends on the density of the medium: the greater the density, the faster the sound wave. This can be easily understood by thinking at how a sound wave propagates: a sound wave is a vibration of molecules, which is transmitted throughout the medium by collision of the molecules. Therefore, the smaller the spacing between the molecules (such as in solids), the more efficient is the propagation, and so the sound wave is faster. On the contrary, there is a large spacing between molecules in gases (such as in the air), so there are less collisions between the molecules and so the wave is not transmitted efficiently, and so it has less velocity.

A swinging pendulum has a total energy of <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E_i" id="TexFormula1" title="E_i" alt="E_i" align="a
Zolol [24]

Answer:

\frac{E_{2}}{E_{1}} \approx 1 -\frac{3\theta}{1-\theta} (for small oscillations)

Explanation:

The total energy of the pendulum is equal to:

E_{1} = m\cdot g \cdot (1-\cos \theta)\cdot L

For small oscillations, the equation can be re-arranged into the following form:

E_{1} \approx m\cdot g \cdot (1-\theta) \cdot L

Where:

\theta = \frac{A}{L^{2}}, measured in radians.

If the amplitude of pendulum oscillations is increase by a factor of 4, the angle of oscillation is 4\theta and the total energy of the pendulum is:

E_{2} \approx m\cdot g \cdot (1-4\theta)\cdot L

The factor of change is:

\frac{E_{2}}{E_{1}} \approx \frac{1 - 4\theta}{1-\theta}

\frac{E_{2}}{E_{1}} \approx 1 -\frac{3\theta}{1-\theta}

Sandi believes that people who eat at McDonald's are overweight, so she decides to do a naturalistic observation of people who e
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

observer bias

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question the thing that should concern us the most about Sandi's observations is Observer Bias. This term refers to the tendency of a researcher to see what they want as opposed to what is actually happening. This can be said because of Sandi's belief that McDonald clients are all overweight, by having this belief before actually having come to this conclusion with a series of tests, it might lead her to believe this to be true regardless of what she observes during the experiment.
