Answer:

3.7 m/s

Explanation:

M = 444 kg

U = 5 m/s

m = 344 kg

u = - 5 m/s

Let the velocity of train is V and the car s v after the collision.

As the collision is elastic

By use of conservation of momentum

MU + mu = MV + mv

444 x 5 - 344 x 5 = 444 V + 344 v

500 = 444 V + 344 v

125 = 111 V + 86 v .... (1)

By using the formula of coefficient of restitution ( e = 1 for elastic collision)

e = \frac{V-v}{u-U}

-5 - 5 = V - v

V - v = - 10

v = V + 10

Substitute the value of v in equation (1)

125 = 111 V + 86 (V + 10)

125 = 197 V + 860

197 V = - 735

V = - 3.7 m/s

Thus, the speed of first car after collision is 3.7 m/s. negative sign shows that the direction is reverse as before the collision.

Add the vectors:
Anettt [7]

Vector 1 has components

x_1=(10\,\mathrm m)\cos20^\circ\approx9.40\,\mathrm m

y_1=(10\,\mathrm m)\sin20^\circ\approx3.42\,\mathrm m

and vector 2 has

x_2=(10\,\mathrm m)\cos80^\circ\approx1.74\,\mathrm m

y_2=(10\,\mathrm m)\sin80^\circ\approx9.85\,\mathrm m

Add these vectors to get the resultant, which has components

x_{\rm total}\approx11.133\,\mathrm m

y_{\rm total}\approx13.268\,\mathrm m

The magnitude of the resultant is

\sqrt{{x_{\rm total}}^2+{y_{\rm total}}^2}\approx17.321\,\mathrm m

with direction \theta such that

\tan\theta=\dfrac{y_{\rm total}}{x_{\rm total}}\implies\theta\approx50^\circ

or about 50º N of E.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Difference threshold or also Just Noticeable Difference

Explanation:

The above mentioned case between room mates, where one room mate was able to detect a minute change in volume shows an instance of the difference threshold.

Difference threshold can be defined as stimulation at its minimum level that can be detected by an individual almost 50 % of the times.

It is the lowest possible level of sound that is detectable by a person.

That is what happened in the mentioned case that when the volume was increased from 14 to 15, Amber was able to detect it.
