Answer:

the two vehicles will be moving at a speed of 6.16  m/s

Explanation:

This is a case of completely inelastic collision, therefore, the conservation of momentum can be written as:

m_1\,v_1+m_2\,v_2=(m_1+m_2)\,v_f

which given the information provided results into:

m_1\,v_1+m_2\,v_2=(m_1+m_2)\,v_f\\(1250)\,(0)+(3550)\,(8.33)=(1250+3550)\,v_f\\29571.5=4800\,v_f\\v_f=6.16\,\,m/s

A 60-kg box is being pushed a distance of 6.2 m across the floor by a force P with arrow whose magnitude is 150 N. The force P w
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of box, m = 60 kg

distance, d = 6.2 m

force, P = 150 N

coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.21

work done by the gravitational force, Wg = Force x distance x cos 90

Wg = 0 J

Work done by the normal force, Wn = force x distance x Cos 90

Wn = 0 J

Work done by the friction force, Wf = - μk mg d

Wf = - 0.21 x 60 x 9.8 x 6.2 = - 765.58 J

Work done by the applied force, Wp = P x d

Wp = 150 x 6.2 = 930 J

Why do hot stars look bluer than cool stars?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

(B) The wavelength that a star radiates the most energy is inversely proportional to the temperature.

Explanation:

As we know that

According to Wien's law wavelength is inverse proportional to the temperature .

  λ.T = Constant.

λ.∝ 1 /T

As we know that star radiates wavelength and this wavelength is inverse proportional to the temperature of the star.

The temperature of cool star is cooler than the temperature of hot star that is cool star looks red and hot star looks blue.Cool star have low energy and hot star have high energy.

So option B is correct.

(B) The wavelength that a star radiates the most energy is inversely proportional to the temperature.

Depending on circumstances, there are times when divers may wish to be positively, negatively or neutrally buoyant. True. False.
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Buoyancy is the most important factors for divers. All they do underwater is to observe the life down there but they also have some other work. However, divers may want to be negatively buoyant when they want to go on deep exploration. When they reach a destination, they may want to observe and neutral buoyancy then will be useful. When they want to go back on surface, they’ll utilize positive buoyancy.
