Answer:

Around 3.57m/s

Explanation:

p=mv

Let's denote the momentum, mass, and velocity of the car with the subscript 1, and for the truck use 2. After the collision, the combined momentum can be denoted with the subscript 3.

p_1=1200\cdot 9=10800 \\\\p_2=1600\cdot 13=20800 \\\\20800-10800=10000 \\\\1200kg+1600kg=2800kg \\\\10000=2800v_3 \\\\v_3\approx 3.57m/s

Hope this helps!

If a spear is jabbeb exactly at that place where the fish appears in water, the fish is not killed
Korvikt [17]

You have learned your lesson well, Suhay. Your statement is correct.

The light rays from the fish BEND when they flow out of the water into the air. But our primitive brain still believes that the light rays flow STRAIGHT from the fish. The result is that the fish does not APPEAR to be at that place where it really is.

Suppose there is a large amount of (weakly interacting) dark matter between us and a distant galaxy. How will this affect our vi
leonid [27]

Answer:

Dark matter does not affect our view, humans can see through them.

Explanation:

They do not affect our view because we can see right through the (weakly interacting) dark matter, as they do not interact or interfere with electromagnetic force.

Dark matter are often invisible substances and are difficult to spot because they don't absorb or reflect light.

How would you obtain a mean value for the specific heat<br> capacity of a material?
lidiya [134]
The heat capacity and the specific heat are related by C=cm or c=C/m. The mass m, specific heat c, change in temperature ΔT, and heat added (or subtracted) Q are related by the equation: Q=mcΔT. Values of specific heat are dependent on the properties and phase of a given substance.

A 500g object falls off a cliff and losers 100 J from its gravitational potential energy store. if the gravitational field stren
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer : Height, h = 20.4 m

Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of an object, m = 500 g = 0.5 kg

Gravitational potential energy, PE = 100 J

The Gravitational potential energy is the energy which is possessed due to the height and gravity of an object. It is given as :

PE = m g h

where,

h is the height of the cliff.

100\ J=0.5\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times h

h = 20.40 m

So, the height of the cliff is 20.4 m.
