Answer:

A) The green cars's velocity has the same magnitude as the blue car's velocity.

B) the difference about their velocity is the direction of the velocity which is 180° in the opposite directions.

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude shows the size, and the direction shows the path the motion takes.

Both cars have the same magnitude but different directions. The difference in their direction is at a 180°angle.

A 2.5 kg steel gasoline tank can holds 20.0 L of gasoline when full. What is the average density (in Kg/m^3) of the full gas can

yarga [219]

Answer:

$D=792.3\ kg/m^3$

Explanation:

<u>Average Density </u>

The density of an object of mass m and volume V is

$\displaystyle D=\frac{m}{V}$

If we know the density and the volume occupied by the object, the mass can be computed as

$m=D.V$

The tank can hold 20 L of gasoline when full. Converting to cubic meters

$V_g=20*0.001=0.02\ m^3$

That's the volume of the gasoline it contains. Knowing the density of the gasoline, we get the mass of gasoline.

$m_g=680*0.02=13.6\ kg$

To know the total mass of both, we add the 2.5 kg of the tank

$m=m_t+m_g=13.6+2.5=16.1\ kg$

The volume of the tank is computed solving for V

$\displaystyle V=\frac{m}{D}$

$\displaystyle V_t=\frac{2.5}{7800}=3.205\times 10^{-4}\ m^3$

The total volume is

$V=V_g+V_t=0.02+3.205\times 10^{-4}=0.0203\ m^3$

The average density is

$\displaystyle D=\frac{16.1}{0.0203}$

$\boxed{D=792.3\ kg/m^3}$

Gretchen runs the first 4.0 km of a race at 5.0 m/s. Then a stiff wind comes up, so she runs the last 1.0 km at only 4.0 m/s.

KIM [24]

Answer:

The velocity is $v = 4.76 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first distance is $d_1 = 4.0 \ km = 4000 \ m$

The first speed is $v_1 = 5.0 \ m/s$

The second distance is $d_2 = 1.0 \ km = 1000 \ m$

The second speed is $v_2 = 4.0 \ m/s$

Generally the time taken for first distance is

$t_1 = \frac{d_1 }{v_1 }$

$t_1 = \frac{4000}{5}$

$t_1 = 800 \ s$

The time taken for second distance is

$t_1 = \frac{d_2 }{v_2 }$

$t_1 = \frac{1000}{4}$

$t_1 = 250 \ s$

The total time is mathematically represented as

$t = t_1 + t_2$

=> $t = 800 + 250$

=> $t = 1050 \ s$

Generally the constant velocity that would let her finish at the same time is mathematically represented as

$v = \frac{d_1 + d_2}{t }$

=> $v = \frac{4000 + 1000}{1050 }$

=> $v = 4.76 \ m/s$

Why are you able to observe the Doppler effect on earth with sound waves but not with light waves?

VladimirAG [237]

Answer: When an ambulance passes with its siren blaring, you hear the pitch of the siren change: as it approaches, the siren’s pitch sounds higher than when it is moving away from you. This change is a common physical demonstration of the Doppler effect.
