Answer:

a) 42 m/s, positive direction (to the east), b) 42 m/s, negative direction (to the west).

Explanation:

a) Let consider that Car A is moving at positive direction. Then, the relative velocity of Car A as seen by the driver of Car B is:

\vec v_{A/B} = \vec v_{A} - \vec v_{B}\\\vec v_{A/B} = 11 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i + 31 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i\\\vec v_{A/B} = 42 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i

42 m/s, positive direction (to the east).

b) The relative velocity of Car B as seen by the drive of Car A is:

\vec v_{B/A} = \vec v_{B} - \vec v_{A}\\\vec v_{B/A} = -31 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i - 11 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i\\\vec v_{B/A} = - 42 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i

42 m/s, negative direction (to the west).

If 1.8 amp flows through a 40 ohm resistor, the voltage across the resistor is :
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

72 volts.

Explanation:

To solve this, we have to use the Ohm's law.

The ohm's law tells us that the voltage drop of a resistor is directly proportional to the current applied to the conductor.

V=I*R

in this case the current is 1.8 amps and the resistor is 40 ohm

V=1.8*40

so

V=72 volts.

A visible light has a wavelength of 727.3 nm. Determine its frequency, energy per photon, and color.
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

f=4.12\times 10^{14}\ Hz and E=2.73\times 10^{-19}\ J

Explanation:

The wavelength of a visible light is 727.3 nm.

727.3\ nm=727.3 \times 10^{-9}\ m

The formula is as follows :

c=f\lambda

f is the frequency of the visible light

f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{727.3 \times 10^{-9}}\\\\f=4.12\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Energy of a photon is given by :

E = hf, h is Planck's constant

E=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 4.12\times 10^{14}\\\\E=2.73\times 10^{-19}\ J

Red color has a frequency of 4.12\times 10^{14}\ Hz and energy per photon is 2.73\times 10^{-19}\ J.

When the velocity of an object is doubled, by what factor is its momentum changed? By what factor is its kinetic energy changed?
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Kinetic energy would increase by a factor of 4 where as momentum would increase by a factor of 2.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy is given by 0.5*mass*velocity^2. Kinetic Energy is proportional to Velocity^2.

Momentum is given by mass*velocity. Momentum is proportional to Velocity.

If the velocity of an object is doubled, Kinetic energy would increase by a factor of 2^2 i.e 4 times. Momentum would increase by a factor of 2.

What can you infer about the density of two objects if they object remains suspended in the liquid?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Equal Densities

Explanation:

if the density of the object was greater than that of the liquid, it would sink to the bottom. if the density od the object was lesser than the liquid, it would float :)
