You are in a car going 70 km/h and another car passes you going in the opposite direction at 70 km/h. Do both cars have the same

No, both the cars do not have the same velocity.

Velocity is a vector quantity and it is the rate of change of displacement with time or change in speed with direction.

Velocity has both magnitude and direction. So when you are in a car going 70 km/h and another car goes in the opposite direction at 70 km/h their velocities are different. 

How?

Consider your car as moving in the positive direction, so its velocity will be 70 km/h and for the car moving in the opposite direction, since the direction is opposite, the velocity of that car will be -70 km/h. This is because, the velocity is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction. For one car, the direction is positive and for the other one the direction is negative.

In a double-slit experiment, light from two monochromatic light sources passes through the same double slit. The light from the
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The wavelength is \lambda_2 =  534 *10^{-9} \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The wavelength of the first light is  \lambda _ 1 =  587 \ nm

    The order of the first light that is being considered is  m_1  =  10

     The order of the second light that is being considered is  m_2  =  11

Generally the distance between the fringes for the first light is mathematically represented as

      y_1 =  \frac{ m_1  * \lambda_1 *  D}{d}

 Here  D is the distance from the screen

 and    d  is the distance of separation of the slit.

      For the second light the distance between the fringes is  mathematically represented as

         y_2 =  \frac{ m_2  * \lambda_2 *  D}{d}

Now given that both of the light are passed through the same double slit

       \frac{y_1}{y_2}  =  \frac{\frac{m_1 *  \lambda_1 * D}{d}  }{\frac{m_2 *  \lambda_2 * D}{d}  } = 1

=>    \frac{ m_1 *  \lambda _1  }{ m_2  *  \lambda_2} =  1

=>     \lambda_2 =  \frac{m_1 *  \lambda_1}{m_2}

=>    \lambda_2 =  \frac{10  *   587 *10^{-9}}{11}

=>   \lambda_2 =  534 *10^{-9} \ m

Do all metals expand the same amount when heated??
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The rate at which solids expand when heated depends on the substance. Metals tend to have higher rates of expansion (per degree change in temperature) than non-metal solids, but there is variation even among metals. A table of expansion coefficients can be found here or here.

A man lifts a 25.9 kg bucket from a well and does 5.92 kJ of work.The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 . How deep is the wel
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The well is 23.3 m

Explanation:

As the bucket is lifted out of the well, energy in the man is being transferred to the bucket as gravitational potential energy.

Work done against gravity =  mass * height * acceleration due to to gravity

W  =  mgh

5 920 J = 25.9 kg * h * 9.8 m/s²

h = 23.3 m
