1 answer:
dexar [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

B. the force of on the truck due to the collision is exactly equal to the force on the car.

Explanation:

At the time of collision between two objects of unequal or equal masses  two forces emerge at the point of collision .They are called action and reaction force . According to third law of Newton , they are equal . So in the instant case of collision between car and truck , force on both of them  will be equal.

When monochromatic light passes through the interface between two unknown materials at an angle θ where 0∘<θ<90∘, no chang
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

the correct one is the first,   the refractive index of the two materials must be the same

Explanation:

When a beam of light passes through two materials, it must comply with the law of refraction

         n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where n₁ and n₂ are the refractive indices of each medium.

In this case, it indicates that the light does not change direction, so the input and output angle of the interface must be the same,

       θ₁ = θ₂ = θ

substituting

          n₁ = n₂

therefore the refractive index of the two materials must be the same

When reviewing the answers, the correct one is the first

The force of Earth's gravity on a capsule in space will lessen as it moves farther away. If the capsule moves to twice its dista
Bess [88]

Answer: One quarter of the force

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the force F exerted between two bodies of masses m1 and m2  and separated by a distance r  is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:

F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{r^2}    (1)

Where Gis the gravitational constant

This means that the gravity force decreases when the distance between these two bodies increases.

In this context, if the distance between the capsule and the Earth increases twice, the new distance will be 2r.

Substituting this distance in (1):

F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{(2r)^2}    (2)

F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{4r^2}    

<u>Finally:</u>

F=\frac{1}{4}G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{r^2} >>>This means the force toward Earth becomes one quarter "weaker"

When a 12 V battery is connected to a 6 uF capacitor, how much energy is stored
adoni [48]

The energy stored in a capacitor is

E = (1/2) · (capacitance) · (voltage)²

E = (1/2) · (6 x 10⁻⁶ F) · (12 V)²

E = (3 x 10⁻⁶ F) · (144 V²)

<em>E = 4.32 x 10⁻⁴ Joule</em>

(That's 0.000432 of a Joule)

An object is dropped on Earth from a height of 15 m. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the object just as it hits the gro
ivolga24 [154]
Here, we know, according to 3rd Equation of Kinematics, 
v² - u² = 2as

Here, u = 0  [ Free fall ]
a = 9.8 m/s² [ constant value for the Earth system ]
s = 15 m

Substitute their values, 
v² - 0² = 2 * 9.8 * 15
v² = 294
v = √294
v = 17.15 m/s

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!
