Answer:

U = 14.61 m/s

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of first car, m = 1600 kg

Initial velocity of first car, u = -11.0 m/s

(Taking the South as the negative y axis and the North as the positive y axis)

Mass of second car, M = 2700 kg

Initial velocity of second car, U is unknown

Final velocity of both cars, v = 5.08 m/s

To find the initial velocity of the first car, we apply the law of conservation of momentum:

Total initial momentum = Total final momentum

mu + MU = mv + Mv\\\\\\mu + MU = (m + M)v

Inputting the values of m, M, u and v:

(1600 * -11) + (2700 * U) = (1600 + 2700) * 5.08\\\\\\-17600 + 2700U = 21844\\\\\\2700U = 21844 + 17600\\\\\\2700U = 39444\\\\\\U = 39444/2700\\\\\\U = 14.61 m/s

The initial velocity of the 2700 kg car is 14.61 m/s.

Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 mm away horizontal
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

a. 8.96 m/s b. 1.81 m

Explanation:

Here is the complete question.

a) A long jumper leaves the ground at 45° above the horizontal and lands 8.2 m away.

What is her "takeoff" speed  v 0 ?

b) Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 m away horizontally and 2.5 m, vertically below.  

If she long jumps from the edge of the left bank at 45° with the speed calculated in part a), how long, or short, of the opposite bank will she land?

a. Since she lands 8.2 m away and leaves at an angle of 45 above the horizontal, this is a case of projectile motion. We calculate the takeoff speed v₀ from R = v₀²sin2θ/g. where R = range = 8.2 m.

So, v₀ = √gR/sin2θ = √9.8 × 8.2/sin(2×45) = √80.36/sin90 = √80.36 = 8.96 m/s.

b. We use R = v₀²sin2θ/g to calculate how long or short of the opposite bank she will land. With v₀ = 8.96 m/s and θ = 45

R = 8.96²sin(2 × 45)/9.8 = 80.2816/9.8 = 8.192 m.

So she land 8.192 m away from her bank. The distance away from the opposite bank she lands is 10 - 8.192 m = 1.808 m ≅ 1.81 m

Hans Langseth's beard measured 5.33 m in 1927. Consider two charges, q1 = 2.42 nC and an unspecified charge, q2, are separated 5
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

-7.89 * 10^(-9) C

Explanation:

Parameters given:

q1 = 2.42 nC = 2.42 * 10^(-9) C

Distance between q1 and q2 = 5.33 m

q3 = 1.0 nC = 1 * 10^(-9) C

Distance between q1 and q3 = 1.9 m

Distance between q2 and q3 = 5.33 - 1.9 = 3.43 m

The net force acting on q3 is:

F = F(q1, q3) + F(q2, q3)

F = (k*q1*q3)/1.9² + (k*q2*q3)/3.43²

F = (9 * 10^(9) * 2.42 * 10^(-9) * 1 * 10^(-9))/3.61 + (9 * 10^(9) * q2 * 1 * 10^(-9))/11.7649

F = 6.033 * 10^(-9) + 0.765*q2

If the net force is zero:

0 = 6.033 * 10^(-9) + 0.765*q2

-0.765*q2 = 6.033 * 10^(-9)

=> q2 = -[6.033 * 10^(-9)]/0.765

q2 = -7.89 * 10^(-9) C

What is the definition of matter
xeze [42]
The definition of matter is physical substance in general, as distinct from mind and spirit that which occupies space and possesses rest mass, especially as distinct from energy, which basically means that matter makes up the whole Earth and everything on it. <span />

technically usually the warmer object/substances particles move master which causes friction among the particles plus the kinetic energy being converted to thermal energy, so i would say the hand.
