Answer:

20 mph

Explanation:

Granny stopped from 50mph,

Her deceleration per unit time is

a = 50 - 0 = 50m/hr^2

This is also the amount of deceleration you experience per unit time (because both cars are identical), therefore your final speed with which you collide with the truck will be,

50 = 70 - v

V = 70 - 50 = 20mph

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

final temperature of  slug of gold is 37°C

final temperature of  slug of manganese is 28.56°C

Explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem we must take into account the concept of heat capacity, this is defined as the ratio between energy and temperature rise.

In other words it is the amount of energy that is required to increase a temperature degree.

Taking into account the above we infer the following equation

where  

C=heat capacity

Particle 1 and particle 2 have masses of m1 = 2.2 × 10-8 kg and m2 = 4.8 × 10-8 kg, but they carry the same charge q. The two pa
Lorico [155]

Answer:r_2=11.81 cm

Explanation:

Given

m_1=2.2\times 10^{-8} kg

m_2=4.8\times 10^{-8} kg

same charge on both masses

potential Energy due to Magnetic Field =Kinetic Energy of Particle

qV=\frac{mv^2}{2}

v=\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}

and we know

Force due to magnetic field will Provide centripetal Force

qvB=\frac{mv^2}{r}

B=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{2Vm}{q}}}{r}

and B is equal for both particles

thus \frac{m}{r^2}=constant

\frac{m_1}{r_1^2}=\frac{m_2}{r_2^2}

r_2^2=\frac{4.8}{2.2}\times 8^2

r_2=11.81 cm
