Physics

Answer:

The one with highest velocity

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the car

v is the velocity of the car

In this problem, we have two identical cars: identical means they have same mass, so

$m_1 = m_2 = m$

The momentum of car 1 is

$p_1 = mv_1$

while the momentum of car 2 is

$p_2 = mv_2$

By comparing the two expressions, we see that the car with greatest momentum is the one with highest velocity, since the mass is the same.

What is dark energy and what evidence do astronomers have that it is an important component of the universe?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The existance of dark energy was suggested to help explain measurements, using Type Ia supernovae as distance indicators, that the expansion of the universe is speeding up and its acceleration requires a source of energy. Scientists suggested that It may be a new form of energy for which there is not yet a theoretical explanation. quantum mechanics predict that it may be the vacuum energy associated with "empty" space itself.

Consider a cylindrical segment of a blood vessel 2.70 cm long and 3.10 mm in diameter. What additional outward force would such

Lyrx [107]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

- Calculate the difference in blood pressure between the feet and top of the head of a person who is 1.80m Tall

- Consider a cylindrical segment of a blood vessel 2.70 cm long and 3.10 mm in diameter. What additional outward force would such a vessel need to withstand in the person's feet compared to a similar vessel in her head

Answer:

- the difference in blood pressure is 18698.4 Pa

- the additional outward force F is 4.86 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that the expression for difference in blood pressure is;

ΔP = pgh

where p is density = 1060 kg/m³

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

and h is height = 1.80 m

now we substitute

ΔP = 1060 × 9.8 × 1.80

ΔP = 18698.4 Pa

therefore the difference in blood pressure is 18698.4 Pa

Also given that;

diameter of blood vessel d = 3.10 mm

radius r = 3.10 mm / 2 = 1.55 mm = 0.00155 m

length l = 2.70 cm = 0.027 m

Surface area of the cylindrical segment of a blood vessel is

A = 2πrl

we substitute

A = 2 × π × 0.00155 × 0.027

A = 2.6 × 10⁻⁴ m²

the required for will be;

F = PA

we substitute

F = 18698.4 Pa × 2.6 × 10⁻⁴ m²

F = 4.86 N

Therefore, the additional outward force F is 4.86 N

A 20-lb force acts to the west while an 80-lb force acts 45° east of north. The magnitu 80 lb 70 lb 067 lb 100 lb

natulia [17]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

force act on west = 20 lb

force act at 45° east of north = 80 lb

magnitude of force = ?

∑ F y = 80 cos 45⁰

F y = 56.57 lb

magnitude of forces in x- direction

∑ F x = -20 + 80 sin 45⁰

= 36.57 lb

net force

F = $\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}$

F = $\sqrt{56.57^2+36.57^2}$

F = 67.36 lb≅ 67 lb

hence, the correct answer is option C

Please help me with this question

vovangra [49]

Answer:

1. 12 V

2a. R₁ = 4 Ω

2b. V₁ = 4 V

3a. A = 1.5 A

3b. R₂ = 4 Ω

4. Diagram is not complete

Explanation:

1. Determination of V

Current (I) = 2 A

Resistor (R) = 6 Ω

Voltage (V) =?

V = IR

V = 2 × 6

V = 12 V

2. We'll begin by calculating the equivalent resistance. This can be obtained as follow:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Current (I) = 1 A

Equivalent resistance (R) =?

V = IR

12 = 1 × R

R = 12 Ω

a. Determination of R₁

Equivalent resistance (R) = 12 Ω

Resistor 2 (R₂) = 8 Ω

Resistor 1 (R₁) =?

R = R₁ + R₂ (series arrangement)

12 = R₁ + 8

Collect like terms

12 – 8 =

4 = R₁

R₁ = 4 Ω

b. Determination of V₁

Current (I) = 1 A

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 4 Ω

Voltage 1 (V₁) =?

V₁ = IR₁

V₁ = 1 × 4

V₁ = 4 V

3a. Determination of the current.

Since the connections are in series arrangement, the same current will flow through each resistor. Thus, the ammeter reading can be obtained as follow:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 4 Ω

Voltage 1 (V₁) = 6 V

Current (I) =?

V₁ = IR₁

6 = 4 × I

Divide both side by 4

I = 6 / 4

I = 1.5 A

Thus, the ammeter (A) reading is 1.5 A

b. Determination of R₂

We'll begin by calculating the voltage cross R₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Total voltage (V) = 12 V

Voltage 1 (V₁) = 6 V

Voltage 2 (V₂) =?

V = V₁ + V₂ (series arrangement)

12 = 6 + V₂

Collect like terms

12 – 6 = V₂

6 = V₂

V₂ = 6 V

Finally, we shall determine R₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Voltage 2 (V₂) = 6 V

Current (I) = 1.5 A

Resistor 2 (R₂) =?

V₂ = IR₂

6 = 1.5 × R₂

Divide both side by 1.5

R₂ = 6 / 1.5

R₂ = 4 Ω

4. The diagram is not complete

The index of refraction of a substance is 1.5. Find the sine of the angle of refraction if the sine of the angle of incidence is

Mariulka [41]

We can answer the problem by Snell's Law:

Snell's law (also known as Snell–Descartes law and the law of refraction) is a formula used to describe the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction, when referring to light or other waves passing through a boundary between two different isotropic media, such as water, glass, or air.
