Two automobiles of equal mass approach an intersection. One vehicle is traveling with velocity 12.0 m/s toward the east and the
other is traveling north with speed v2i. Neither driver sees the other. The vehicles collide in the intersection and stick together, leaving parallel skid marks at an angle of 64.5° north of east. Determine the initial speed v2i of the northward-moving vehicle.
1 answer:
Answer: 25.7m/s
Explanation: the cars have equal masses so we only consider their velocities,
The cars traveled together at 65° north of east this is with a velocity equal to the resultant velocity,
Using the force diagram as shown below;
Tan 65° = Vn/Ve
Ve is velocity of the car traveling east
Vn is velocity of car traveling north
Tan 65° = V2/12
2.144 = V2/12
V2 = 12 * 2.144
V2 = 25.7 m/s

The answer to this question would be the least number (right most number).
If you add an even number with even number, the result should be even. But if there is just one odd number added, it will be odd.
In binary, all the number is multiplied by
. It is pretty clear that all the number should be even beside the first/lowest multiplier 
which has potential to be 1.
