A trolley has a mass of 1.2 kg and a speed of 4.5 m/s. The trolley crashes into a stationary trolley of mass 0.8 kg. On impact t
attashe74 [19]

(a) The momentum of the first trolley is 5.4 kgm/s

(b) The velocity of the trolleys after impact is 2.7m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Mass, m₁ = 1.2kg

Velocity, v₁ = 4.5m/s

Mass, m₂ = 0.8kg

v₂ = 0

(a) Momentum of the trolley before impact, p

We know:

Momentum = mass X velocity

p = 1.2 X 4.5

p = 5.4 kgm/s

Therefore, the momentum of the first trolley is 5.4 kgm/s

(b) Speed of the trolleys after impact, v = ?

During collision, the momentum is conserved.

So,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v

(1.2 X 4.5) + (0.8 X 0) = (1.2 +0.8) X v

5.4 + 0 = 2v

v = 2.7m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the trolleys after impact is 2.7m/s

Estimate the peak wavelength for radiation from ice at 273 k.
Andrews [41]
<h2>Answer: 10615 nm</h2>

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the Wien's displacement law, which relates the wavelength  \lambda_{p} where the intensity of the radiation is maximum (also called peak wavelength) with the temperature T of the black body.

In other words:

<em>There is an inverse relationship between the wavelength at which the emission peak of a blackbody occurs and its temperature.</em>

Being this expresed as:

\lambda_{p}.T=C    (1)

Where:

T is in Kelvin (K)

\lambda_{p} is the <u>wavelength of the emission peak</u> in meters (m).

C is the <u>Wien constant</u>, whose value is 2.898(10)^{-3}m.K

From this we can deduce that the higher the black body temperature, the shorter the maximum wavelength of emission will be.

Now, let's apply equation (1), finding \lambda_{p}:

\lambda_{p}=\frac{C}{T}   (2)

\lambda_{p}=\frac{2.898(10)^{-3}m.K}{273K}  

Finally:

\lambda_{p}=10615(10)^{-9}m=10615nm  This is the peak wavelength for radiation from ice at 273 K, and corresponds to the<u> infrared.</u>

A car travels 460km in 7 hours. How would you calculate the speed?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

speed = 65.7 km/h

Explanation:

speed = distance over time, so you'd do 460 km/7 hrs to get your speed in km/h

How do we work out the world time zone differences​
Virty [35]
To find the time zone in hours of a particular location, you can take the longitude -- in degrees -- and divide it by 15. So, for example, 75° E would be 75/15 which equals 5. That translates to the time zone being 5 hours ahead of UTC or GMT time, which can also be labeled as UTC+5. i hope this helped if not then sorry
