A car (mass 5 1100 kg) is traveling at 32 m/s when it collides headon with a sport utility vehicle (mass 5 2500 kg) traveling in

the opposite direction. In the collision, the two vehicles come to a halt. At what speed was the sport utility vehicle traveling?

Answer:

speed was the sport utility vehicle traveling is 14.08 m/s

Explanation:

Given data

car mass m1 = 1100 kg

speed s = 32 m/s

vehicle mass m2 = 2500 kg

to find out

speed was the sport utility vehicle traveling

solution

we will apply here conservation of momentum law

the momentum change of car is equal and opposite of the momentum change of vehicle

so equation are

m1 v1 - m2 v2 = 0

so here v2 will be

v2 = (m1 / m2 ) v1

put here all these value we get

v2 = (1100 / 2500 ) 32

v2 = 14.08 m/s

so speed was the sport utility vehicle traveling is 14.08 m/s

Monochromatic light with a wavelength of 6.4 E -7 meter passes through two narrow slits, producing an interference pattern on a

seropon [69]

Answer:

The distance between the slits is given by 1.3 × $10^{-4}$ m

Given:

$\lambda = 6.4 \times 10^{-7} m$

D = 4 m

y = $2 \times 10^{-2} m$

m = 1

To find:

distance between slits, d = ?

Formula used:

y = $\frac{m \times \lambda \times D}{d}$

y = distance of first bright band from central maxima

D = distance between screen and source

d = distance between slits

$\lambda$ = wavelength

Solution:

distance of first bright band from central maxima is given by,

y = $\frac{m \times \lambda \times D}{d}$

y = distance of first bright band from central maxima

D = distance between screen and source

d = distance between slits

$\lambda$ = wavelength

Thus,

d = $\frac{m \times \lambda \times D}{y}$

d = $\frac{1 \times 6.4 \times 10^{-7} \times 4 }{2 \times 10^{-2} }$

d = 1.28 × $10^{-4}$

d = 1.3 × $10^{-4}$ m

The distance between the slits is given by 1.3 × $10^{-4}$ m

Consider the uniform electric field \vec{E} =(4.00~\hat{j}+3.00~\hat{k})\times 10^3~\text{N/C} E ⃗ =(4.00 j ^ +3.00 k

Tema [17]

Answer:

Electric flux, $\phi=6.668\times 10^4\ Nm^2/C$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field, $E=(4j+3k)\times 10^3\ N/C$

We need to find the electric flux through a circular area of radius 2.66 m that lies in the xy-plane. $A=Ak$

The electric flux is given by :

$\phi=E{\cdot}A$

$\phi=(4j+3k)\times 10^3{\cdot}Ak$

Since, k.k=i.i=j.j = 1

So,

$\phi=3\times 10^3\times \pi\times (2.66)^2\ k$

$\phi=6.668\times 10^4\ Nm^2/C$

So, the electric flux through a circular area is $\phi=6.668\times 10^4\ Nm^2/C$ .Hence, this is the required solution.

Under what condition will kinetic friction slow a sliding object?

matrenka [14]

Explanation: Slowing Down (or Stopping) occurs when the force of kinetic friction is greater than that of the external force. This also follows Newton's first law of motion as there exists a net force on the object.

In a college homecoming competition, eighteen students lift a sports car. While holding the car off the ground, each student exe

Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Each student exert a force of $F=400 N$

Let mass of car be m

there are 18 students who lifts the car

Total force by 18 students $F=18\times 400=7200 N$

therefore weight of car $W=7200$

mass of car $m=\frac{W}{g}$

$m=\frac{7200}{9.8}=734.69 kg$

(b) $7200 N \approx 1618.624\ Pound-force$

$734.69 kg\approx 1619.71 Pounds$

Two charged objects separated by some distance attract each other. If the charges on both objects are doubled with no change in

Serggg [28]

Answer:

(a) The force between them quadruples

Explanation:

According to coulomb's law, initial force between the two charged objects is given as;

$F_1=\frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

where;

k is coulomb's constant

q₁ is the charge on the first object

q₂ is the charge on the second object

r is the distance between the two objects

When the charges on both objects are doubled, then;

q₁ = 2q₁

q₂ = 2q₂

Force between the two charged objects will become

$F_2 = \frac{K2q_12q_2}{r^2} = \frac{4Kq_1q_2}{r^2} = 4(\frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}) = 4F_1$

Therefore, the force between them quadruples
