Answer:

16 m/s north

Explanation:

According to the law of momentum conservation, total momentum before and after must be the same

Total momentum after the collision as both cars stick together as 1 unit traveling at speed of 5.48m/s to the north

(m + M)V = (1530 + 2560)*5.48 = 22413 kgm/s

So the total momentum before must also be 22413, which is made of

mv_1 + Mv_2 = 22413

1530*(-12.1) + 2560v_2 = 22413

2560v_2 = 22413 + 18513 = 40926

v_2 = 40926 / 2560 \approx 16 m/s north

In an incompressible three-dimensional flow field, the velocity components are given by u = ax + byz; υ = cy + dxz. Determine th
Ksivusya [100]

An incompressible flow field F in a 3D cartesian grid with components u,v,w:

F = u + v + w

where u,v,w are functions of x,y,z

Must satisfy:

∇·F = du/dx + dv/dy + dw/dz = 0

We have a field F defined:

F = u+v+w, u = ax+byz, v = cy+dxz

du/dx = a, dv/dy = c

Recall ∇·F = 0:

∇·F = du/dx + dv/dy + dw/dz = 0

a + c + dw/dz = 0

dw/dz = -a-c

Solve for w by separation of variables:

w = ∫(-a-c)dz

w = -az - cz + f(x,y)

f(x,y) is some undetermined function of x and y

The question states that w is not a function of x and y, therefore f(x,y) = 0...

w = -az - cz

As your hand moves back and forth to generate longitudinal pulses in a spiral spring, your hand completes 2.91 back-and-forth cy
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Wavelength, \lambda=0.011\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of cycles in a spiral spring is 2.91 in every 3.67 s

The velocity of the pulse in the spring is 0.925 cm/s, v = 0.00925 m/s

To find,

Wavelength

Solution,

Number of cycles per unit time is called frequency of a wave. The frequency of the longitudinal pulse is,

f=\dfrac{2.91}{3.67}=0.79\ Hz

The wavelength of a wave is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{0.00925\ m/s}{0.79\ Hz}

\lambda=0.011\ m

So, the wavelength of the longitudinal pulse is 0.011 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
