Two automobiles of equal mass approach an intersection. One vehicle is traveling with speed 13.0 m/s toward the east, and the ot

her 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 55.08 north of east. The speed limit for both roads is 35 mi/h, and the driver of the northward-moving vehicle claims he was within the speed limit when the collision occurred. Is he telling the truth? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum to know the Speed of northward moving vehicle before collision to check the veracity of driver's statement .

Let v be the velocity of composite mass after collision

Applying law of conservation of momentum in north direction

m v₂ = 2m v sin55.08

Applying law of conservation of momentum in east  direction

m x 13 = 2m v cos55.08

Dividing these two equations

v₂ / 13 = tan55.08

v₂ = 13  tan55.08

= 18.62 m/s

= (18.62 x60 x 60) / 1000

= 67 km/h

= 67 x 5/8 mi/h

= 42 mi/h

So he is lieing.

How to calculate light year, minute and second?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

A light-year is the distance light travels in one year. How far is that? Multiply the number of seconds in one year by the number of miles or kilometers that light travels in one second, and there you have it: one light-year. It's about 5.88 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km).

Beryllium has a charge of +2, and bromine has a charge of –1. Which is the best name for the ionic bond that forms between them?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Beryllium bromide

Explanation:

There exists 2 elements in the question

Beryllium Be with valence of +2, and it's a metal

Bromine Br with a valence of -1, and is a non - metal.

Both of them combine together forming an ionic bond:

Be + Br(2) -> BeBr(2)

In naming the compound, we would say that since the first is a metal, beryllium, and the second being a halogen, bromine. We name it by calling the first name together with the last name and changing the last name of the non metal from -ine to -ide.

So we have, Beryllium Bromide.

The ratio of (new volume / old volume) is the same as the ratio of (new temperature / old temp).

Just remember that you have to use the ABSOLUTE temperatures.

An absolute temperature is (Celsius + 273).
