A 2290 kg car traveling at 10.5 m/s collides with a 2780 kg car that is initially at rest at the stoplight. The cars stick toget
avanturin [10]

Answer:

0.41

Explanation:

given,

mass of the car, m = 2290 Kg

initial speed = 10.5 m/s

mass of another car, M = 2780 Kg

distance moved = 2.80 m

coefficient of friction = ?

conservation of energy

m u = (M + m) V

2290 x 10.5 = (2290 + 2780) V

V = 4.74 m/s

using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

4.74² = 2 x a x 2.8

a = 4.02 m/s²

now using equation

a = μ g

4.02 = μ x 9.8

μ = 0.41

An electromagnetic wave is traveling straight down toward the center of the Earth. At a certain moment in time the electric fiel
Anika [276]

Answer:

North

Explanation:

In an electromagnetic wave, the direction of the wave, the direction of the electric field and the direction of the magnetic field are all perpendicular to each other.

Therefore, we can  find the direction of the magnetic field by using the right hand rule. We have:

- Index finger: direction of motion of the wave --> toward the center of Earth

- middle finger: direction of the electric field --> west

- thumb: direction of the magnetic field --> north

So, the magnetic field points north.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

s = 23.72 m

v = 21.56 m/s²  

Explanation:

given

time to reach the ground (t) = 2.2 second

we know that

a) s = u t + 0.5 g t²

   u = 0 m/s

   g = 9.8 m/s²

   s = 0 + 0.5 × 9.8 × 2.2²

  s = 23.72 m

b) impact velocity

      v = √(2gh)

      v = √(2× 9.8 × 23.72)    

      v =  √464.912

      v = 21.56 m/s²

A car starting from rest (i.e. initial velocity = 0.0 m/s), moves in the positive X-direction with a constant average accelerati
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Final speed of the car, v = 24.49 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of the car, u = 0

Acceleration, a=3.1\ m/s^2

Time taken, t = 7.9 s

We need to find the final velocity of the car. Let it is given by v. It can be calculated using first equation of motion as :

v=u+at

v=0+3.1\times 7.9

v = 24.49 m/s

So, the final speed of the car is 24.49 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
