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

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the intensity of the noise be represented by I

Given that

40dB = 10 log 10 ⁡ ( I /I•) ........ 1

I• is the lowest or threshold intensity of sound made.

I represents the intensity of the sound/ noise

The intensity of noise of 1000flies will be

β = 10 log 10 ⁡(1000I/I•)

Open up the bracket

β = 10 log 10(1000)+ 10 log 10(I/I•)

10 log 10(10^3)+10 log 10(I/I•)

3×10(10 log 10) +10 log 10(I/I•)

Recall, 10 log 10 = 1

30×1 + 10 log 10(I/I•).........2

Put equation 1 into 2

β =30+40

= 70db

A uniform electric field of magnitude 4.6 ✕ 104 N/C is perpendicular to a square sheet with sides 3.0 m long. What is the electr
rodikova [14]

Answer:

41.4* 10^4 N.m^2/C

Explanation:

given:

E= 4.6 * 10^4 N/C

electric field is 4.6 * 10^4 N/C and square sheet is perpendicular to electric field so, area of vector is parallel to electric field

then electric flux = ∫ E*n dA

                            = ∫ 4.6 * 10^4 * 3*3

                            = 41.4* 10^4 N.m^2/C

Your friend from France came to visit you when she was packing she went on weather.com and found that the average temperature in
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Because there is not as much cold as it was in France.

Explanation:

The average temperature in France during January ranges from 2.7° to 7.2° celsius which makes it the coldest month of the year. But since she comes to know that average temperature in Annville ranges 31° celsius which implies that the temperature is normal there and therefore, she packs sleeveless tops and shorts. Coats would not be required in a hot weather and hence, she does not pack it.
