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

A car drives at steady speed around a perfectly circular track.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

e. Both the acceleration and net force on the car point inward.

Explanation:

If no net force acts on the car, the car must drive in a straight line, at constant speed.

As the acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity vector, this means that it can produce either a change in the magnitude of the velocity (the speed) or in the direction.

In order to the car can follow a circular trajectory, it must be subjected to an acceleration, that must go inward, trying to take the car towards the center of the circle.

The net force that causes this acceleration, aims inward, and is called the centripetal force.

It is not a different type of force, it can be a friction force, a tension force, a normal force, etc., as needed.

A manufacturer claims its cleanser works twice as fast as any other. Could test be performed to support the claim? Explain
lora16 [44]

Yes, a test could be performed to support the claim.

 

Hypothesis: The claim that a manufacturer’s cleanser works twice as fast as any other cleanser.

 

So, based from this hypothesis, we can perform the following tests:

We assign Cleanser A to the manufacturer that claims that their cleanser works twice as fast as any other cleanser and Cleanser B to the cleanser to be compared with.

 

1.       Get two tiles and put the same amount of stain on them.

2.       Apply Cleanser A on the first tile and Cleanser B on the second tile.

3.       Apply the same amount of force in removing the stains on both tiles

4.       Record the amount of time it takes to remove the stains on each tile.

According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, if the uncertainty in the speed of an electron is 3.5 × 103 m/s, the uncertai
GREYUIT [131]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Uncertainty in the speed of an electron, \Delta v=3.5\times 10^3\ m/s

According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle,

\Delta x.\Delta p=\dfrac{h}{4\pi}

\Delta x is the uncertainty in the position of an electron

Since, \Delta p=m\Delta v

\Delta x=\dfrac{h}{4\pi.m \Delta v}

\Delta x=\dfrac{6.6\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 3.5\times 10^3}

\Delta x=1.64\times 10^{-8}\ m

So, the uncertainty in its position is 1.64\times 10^{-8}\ m. Hence, this is the required solution.
