An air track car with a mass of 0.75 kg and a velocity of 8.5 m/s to the right collides elastically with a 0.65kg car moving to
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
We can do this with the conservation of momentum. The fact it is elastic means no KE is lost so we don't have to worry about the loss due to sound energy etc.

Firstly, let's calculate the momentum of both objects using p=mv:

Object 1:
p = 0.75 x 8.5 = 6.375 kgm/s

Object 2 (we will make this one negative as it is travelling in the opposite direction):
p = 0.65 x -(7.2) = -4.68 kgm/s

Based on this we know that the momentum is going to be in the direction of object one, and will be 6.375-4.68=1.695 kgm/s

Substituting this into p=mv again:

1.695 = (0.75+0.65) x v
Note I assume here the objects stick together, it doesn't specify - it should!

1.695 = 1.4v
v=1.695/1.4 = 1.2 m/s to the right (to 2sf)

what happens to light when it falls upon a material that has a natural frequency equal to the frequency of the light?
mixas84 [53]

The energy from the light is transferred to the material, causing it to vibrate and absorb the light.

What is energy?
In physics, energy is the quantitative quality that is transmitted to the a body or a physical system, and is discernible in the work performed as well as in the form of light and heat. The law of conservation states that although energy can change its form, it cannot be created or destroyed. Energy is indeed a conserved quantity. The International System of Units' (SI's) joule is the measurement unit for energy (J). A moving object's kinetic energy, a solid object's elastic energy, chemical energy caused by chemical reactions, and the potential energy that an object stores (for instance because of its position inside a field) are examples of common forms of energy.

When light falls upon a material that has a natural frequency equal to the frequency of the light, the light will be absorbed by the material. This is due to resonance, which occurs when the frequency of the light matches the natural frequency of the material. The energy from the light is transferred to the material, causing it to vibrate and absorb the light.

If the pressure of a substance is increased during a boiling process, will the temperature also increase, or will it remain cons
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

on increasing pressure, temperature will also increase.

Explanation:

Considering the ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Thus, at constant volume and number of moles, Pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of  the gas.

P ∝ T

Also,  

Also, using Gay-Lussac's law,

\frac {P_1}{T_1}=\frac {P_2}{T_2}

Thus, on increasing pressure, temperature will also increase.

An insect 1.1 mm tall is placed 1.0 mm beyond the focal point of the objective lens of a compound microscope. The objective lens
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

For image formation in objective lens

object distance u = 14 +1 = 15 mm

focal length f = 14 mm .

image distance v = ?

lens formula

\frac{1}{v} -\frac{1}{u} =\frac{1}{f}

Putting the values

\frac{1}{v} +\frac{1}{15} =\frac{1}{14}

v = 210 mm .

B )

magnification = v / u

= 210 / 15

= 14

size of image = 14 x 1.1 mm

= 15.4 mm

= 15 mm approx

C )

For final image to be at infinity , image produced by objective lens must fall at the focal point of eye piece . so objective lens's distance from the image formed by objective must be equal to focal length of eye piece that is 21 mm .

21 mm is the answer .

D )

overall magnification =

\frac{210}{15} \times \frac{D}{f_e}

D = 25 cm , f_e = focal length of eye piece

= 14 x 250 / 21

= 166.67

= 170 ( in two significant figures )
