A school bus has a mass (including the driver and passengers) of 1.64 times 10^4 kg and is driving north at a speed of 15.2 km/h

. Another school bus whose empty mass is 1.578 times 10^4 kg is moving south at a speed of 12.2 km/h. Assuming an average passenger mass of 64.8 kg, what is the minimum number of passengers (including the driver) of the southbound bus so that the total momentum of the two buses is directed south?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of bus along with travelers travelling in North direction is m_1=1.6\times 10^4 kg

speed of bus towards North v_1=15.2 km/h\approx 4.22\ m/s

mass of bus travelling in South direction is m_2=1.578\times 10^4 kg

speed of bus v_2=12.2 km/h\approx 3.38\ m/s

mass of each Passenger in south moving bus m_0=64.8 kg

Momentum of North moving bus

P_1=m_1\times v_1

P_1=1.6\times 10^4\times 4.22

P_1=6.768\times 10^4 kg-m/s

Momentum with south moving bus

P_2=m_2\times v_2+n\cdot m_0\times v_2

P_2=(1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8 )\cdot 3.38

For total momentum to be towards south

P_2-P_1 should be greater than 0

thus for least value of n

P_2=P_1

(1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8 )\cdot 3.38=6.768\times 10^4

1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8=2.0023\times 10^4

n=\frac{4243.6686}{64.8}=65.48\approx 66

Perform the calculation and report your answer using sig figs. 657.70 - 26.543
Anton [14]

Answer:

The answer is 631.157

Explanation:

The question requested that the answer to the subtraction of 26.543 from 657.70 must be written using significant figures.

Here are a few tips about how to Identify significant figures.

1) It should be noted that <u>the number "0" is what is usually (but not always) affected</u> while trying to identify significant figures. Hence, <u>all other numbers/digits are always significant</u>. For example, 26.543 has five significant figures.

2) The zeros found between these "other numbers/digits" are also significant. For example, 2202 has four significant figures.

3) In the case of a decimal, the tailing zeros or the final zero is also significant. 657.70 and 657.07 have five significant figures.

Now, back to the question

657.70  - 26.543  = 631.157.

Our final answer does not have a zero, hence all the digits (six) are significant.

The figure in Figure 1 shows two single-slit diffraction patterns. The distance between the slit and the viewing screen is the s
V125BC [204]

Answer:

"The wavelengths are the same for both. The width of slit 1 is larger than the width of slit 2."

Explanation:

The full question has not been provided, so I just copied this into the web and found this answer and explanation on quizlet:

"The wavelengths are the same for both. The width of slit 1 is larger than the width of slit 2.

D sin θ = m λ

if the wavelengths are the same, then if the angle is smaller, the slit width must be larger. The top photo shows a pattern that is more closely spaced. That means the angle is smaller. The slit width must be larger."

This answer/explanation should be correct, as we are looking at bright fringes and the formula being used corresponds to the parameters of the question.

Hope this helps!
