Answer:

6 m/s

Explanation:

mass of moving car m1=5000 kg

initial velocity of moving car vi1=?

mass of car at rest = m2=10000 kg

initial velocity of car at rest = vi2=0

final velcoities of both cars after collision = vf1=vf2= 2m/s

using conservation of momentum rule

m1vi1+m2vi2=m1vf1+m2vf2

putting values

==> 5000 × vi1 + 1000 × 0 = 5000 × 2 + 10000 × 2

==> 5000 ×vi1 = 2 × 15000

==> vi1 = 2 × 15000 ÷ 5000

==> vi1= 2×3=6 m/s

Hi
romanna [79]

Answer:HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

THE POINTS ARE

IF WE PUT THE OBJECT BETWEEN THE FOCUS

AND THE POLE

THEN THE IMAGE FORMED WILL be MAGNIFIED

If that’s not what you are looking for, try this one:

For concave mirror the virtual image is formed when the object is kept in between the pole and the focus.  

Given here the "size of the image" is twice to that of the object.

Hence, it is consider that the magnification is +2.

So, the magnification value is positive and the image formed will be "virtual and erect". Thus, the object should be kept in between the "pole and the focus" in concave mirror."

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! MY HOMEWORK IS DUE TODAY !!!!!!!!
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Distance = 25000000 miles

Time = 50 hours

Explanation:

Venus is the closest planet to Earth. It is about 25 million miles away from Earth. Its precise distance depends on where both Venus and Earth are in their respective orbits

Given that

Speed V = 500000 mph

Distance d = 25 000,000 miles

Speed = distance/ time

Time = distance/speed

Time = 25000000/500000

Time = 50 hours

It will therefore take 50 hours to get to venus at that speed.

On her camping trip, Penelope was in charge of collecting firewood. The firewood she found had a mass of 120 g and a volume of 4
zloy xaker [14]
From the formula: density=mass/volume
But first, we have to convert the cm³ to m³ by multiplying the value in cm³ by 10^-6, by so doing we'll have the volume to be 0.48*10^-3cm³.
we will also need to convert the mass which is in g to kg by simply dividing by 1000 so the mass becomes 0.12kg
Now we can solve for the density using the formula I earlier stated which is the mass divided by the volume =0.12/0.48*10^-3 so the density will be 0.25*10^3kgm-3 or 2.5*10^2kgm-3

A truck starts from rest with an acceleration of 0.3 m/ S^2 find its speed in km/h when it has moves through 150 m​
goblinko [34]

Answer:

v = 34.128 km/hr

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial speed of a truck, u = 0

Acceleration of the truck, a = 0.3 m/s²

Distance moved, d = 150 m

Let the final speed of the truck is v. Using third equation of motion i.e.

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\v=\sqrt{u^2+2ad}

Put all the values,

v=\sqrt{0^2+2\times 0.3\times 150}\\\\v=9.48\ m/s

or

v = 34.128 km/h

So, the final speed of the truck is equal to 34.128 km/h.

How<br> are<br> earthquakes measured quantitatively
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:Intensity: The severity of earthquake shaking is assessed using a descriptive scale – the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale. Magnitude: Earthquake size is a quantitative measure of the size of the earthquake at its source. The Richter Magnitude Scale measures the amount of seismic energy released by an earthquake.
