Answer:

d = 175 miles

Explanation:

Train is moving towards East with constant speed of 50 mph

While car is moving at speed of 30 mph

so after t = 3 hours

the distance moved by the train is given as

d_1 = vt

d_1 = (50)(3) = 150 miles

at the same time the distance moved by the car is given as

d_2 = 30(3) = 90 miles

now we know that both car and train is moving perpendicular to each other

So the distance between them after t = 3 hours is given as

d= \sqrt{d_1^2 + d_2^2}

d = \sqrt{150^2 + 90^2}

d = 175 miles

What is the magnitude of velocity for a 2000 kg car possessing 3000 kgm/s of momentum
Alex

For this case we have that by definition, the momentum is given by:

p = mv

Where,

  • <em>m: mass </em>
  • <em>v: speed </em>

Therefore, replacing values we have:

3000 = (2000) v

From here, we clear the value of the speed:

v = \frac {3000} {2000}\\v = 1.5 \frac {m} {s}

Answer:

The magnitude of velocity is:

v = 1.5 \frac {m} {s}

salantis [7]

Answer:

130m

Explanation:

You just have to multiply velocity by the time traveled:

100m/s * 1.3s = 130m!

Why is it important that radioisotopes used in diagnostic tests have short half-lives? 20 A) These radioisotopes have a greater
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Option B) This minimizes the harmful side effects of the radiations

Explanation:

Half-life is the time taken for the decay of an radio-active atom in which it disintegrates such that it becomes half of its value at the beginning.... The nuclei should be in active mode for a longer duration sufficient for the treatment of the condition but these nuclei should have a sufficient  shorter half life so that they don't get enough time to cause any  damage to the health of the person other than treating the cause.

A shorter half life gives the assurance that the radiation after the treatment will leave the body without getting accumulated and cause harm to the body cells and other organs.
