Answer:

0.5 m/s

Explanation:

From Newton's Third law of motion,

Momentum of the cannon = momentum of the flatcar.

mv = MV........................ Equation 1

Where m = mass of the cannon, v = velocity of the cannon, M = mass of the flatcar, V = Velocity of the flat car.

make V the subject of the equation

V = mv/M................... Equation 2

Given: m = 10 kg, v = 50 m/s, M = 1000 kg

Substitute into equation 2

V = 10×50/1000

V = 500/1000

V = 0.5 m/s

Hence the speed of the flatcar = 0.5 m/s

raketka [301]

Answer:

6.8 m/s2

Explanation:

Let g = 9.8 m/s2. The total weight of both the rope and the mouse-robot is

W = Mg + mg = 1*9.8 + 2*9.8 = 29.4 N

For the rope to fails, the robot must act a force on the rope with an additional magnitude of 43 - 29.4 = 13.6 N. This force is generated by the robot itself when it's pulling itself up at an acceleration of

a = F/m = 13.6 / 2 = 6.8 m/s2

So the minimum magnitude of the acceleration would be 6.8 m/s2 for the rope to fail

A proton is confined within an atomic nucleus of diameter 3.60 fm. part a estimate the smallest range of speeds you might find f
Cerrena [4.2K]
The answer for this problem would be:
Assuming non-relativistic momentum, then you have: 
ΔxΔp = mΔxΔv = h / (4) 
Δv = h / (4πmΔx) 
m ~ 1.67e-27 h ~ 6.62e-34,Δx = 4e-15 --> 
Δv ~ 6.62e-34 / (4π * 1.67e-27 * 4e-15) ~ 7,886,270 m/s ~ 7.89e6 m/s 
That's about 1% of the speed of light, the assumption that it's non-relativistic.

Glass has a _____________ index of refraction than air
rewona [7]

Glass has a <u>grater </u>index of refraction than air. The glass's and air's indexes of refraction will be 1.5 and 1, respectively.

<h3>What is an index of refraction?</h3>

The refractive index of a substance is a dimensionless quantity that specifies how quickly light passes through it in optics.

The index of refraction of the glass and air will be 1.5 and 1 respectively.

Hence,glass has a <u>grater </u>index of refraction than air.

What principle is responsible for alternating light and dark bands when light passes through two or more narrow slits? What prin
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Interference

Explanation:

When two waves of same frequency and constant phase difference super impose at a point on the screen then due to their superposition we will get different intensity of light at different positions of the screen

This phenomenon of redistribution of energy is known as interference of light.

So at the position of screen where the light intensity is maximum on the screen is known as constructive interference while the positions on the screen where it will get minimum intensity on the screen is known as destructive interference of the light

So correct answer would be

Interference

g A motorist traveling at 30.0 m/s passes a stationary police car. The police car gives chase 2.0 s later, accelerating at 5.0 m
Sedaia [141]

The time for the police car to catch up with the speeding motorist is 7.6 seconds.

<h3>What time will the police car catch up with the speeding motorist?</h3>

The police car and the motorist will cover equal distances.

Let the distance covered be d.

Distance covered by the motorist  = speed * time

time = t, speed = 30 m/s

d = 30t

Distance covered by the police car = acceleration * (time)

time = t - 2, acceleration = 5.0 m/s²

d = 5(t-2)²

d = 5(t² - 4t + 4)

d = 5t² - 20t + 20

Equating the two equations for distance

5t² - 20t + 20 = 30t

5t² - 50t + 20 = 0

Solving for t using the quadratic formula:

t = 9.6 second or 0.4 seconds

Since t > 2, t = 9.6 seconds

t - 2 = 9.6 - 2

t - 2 = 7.6 seconds

Therefore, the time for the police car to catch up with the speeding motorist is 7.6 seconds.
