Bill forgets to put his car in park and it starts rolling west. When it is moving at a speed of 3.5 m/s, it collides with Tanya'

s car, which is moving at a speed of 2m/s east. Bill's car bounces backward (to the east) at a speed of 2 m/s. Bill's car has a mass of 900 kg, and Tanya's car has a mass of 1100 kg.
a. What is the total momentum of the system before collision?

b. What is the total momentum of the system after the collision?

c, What is the velocity of Tanya's car after the collision?

a) Simply add the momentum but remember that velocities in opposite directions have opposite signs. West direction is positive, east - negative.

p = 900*3.5 + 1100*(-2) = 950 kg*m/s.

b) After the collision (thanks to the law of conservation of momentum) the momentum is still 950 kg*m/s

c) Since the total momentum is the same (950), but something inside changed, write

950 = 900*(-2)+1100*u, so solve it

u=2.5 m/s. Positive sign means that Tanya's car goes west.

PART A)

momentum of Bill's car

mass = 900 kg

speed = 3.5 m/s towards west

so momentum of this car given as

P_1 = 900(3.5) = 3150 kg m/s

Similarly momentum of Tanya's car

mass = 1100 kg

speed = 2 m/s towards East

so momentum will be

P_2 = 1100(2) = 2200 kg m/s

Total momentum of both cars will be

P = 3150 -2200 = 950 kg m/s Towards west

PART B)

Since there is no external force on the system of two cars

So here total momentum of both cars will remains conserved

So final momentum of two cars will be same as initial momentum

P = 950 kg m/s towards west

Part C)

final momentum of Bills car

P_1 = (900)(2) = 1800 kg m/s Towards East

now we have

P_1 + P_2 = 950

1100 v - 1800 = 950

v = 2.5 m/s towards west

"The connective tissue that's found between bones."

An example would be between the vertabrae in the spine.

Like the other (inappropriate) answer said, a ligament is what attches muscles and bones.

Also, the tissue inside of bones is bone marrow.

If you know that, you can take out those two options (Option 1 and 3)

A particular cylindrical bucket has a height of 36.0 cm, and the radius of its circular cross-section is 15 cm. The bucket is em
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

a. 0.000002 m

b. 0.00000182 m

Explanation:

36 cm = 0.36 m

15 cm = 0.15 m

a) We can start by calculating the air-water pressure of the bucket submerged 20m below the water surface:

P = \ro g h = 1000 * 10 * 20 = 200000 Pa

Suppose air is ideal gas, then if the temperature stays the same, the product of its pressure and volume stays the same

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Where P1 = 1.105 Pa is the atmospheric pressure, V_1 is the air volume in the bucket on the suface:

V_1 = Ah

As the pressure increases, the air inside the bucket shrinks. But the crossection area stays constant, so only h, the height of air, decreases:

P_1Ah_1 = P_2Ah_2

h_2 = h_1\frac{P_1}{P_2} = 0.36\frac{1.105}{200000} = 0.000002 m

b) If the temperatures changes, we can still reuse the ideal gas equation above:

\frac{P_1Ah_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2Ah_2}{T_2}

h_2 = h_1\frac{P_1T_2}{P_2T_1} = 0.36\frac{1.105 * 275}{200000*300} =0.00000182 m
