The car A has a mass of 1200 kg.

The car B has the mass of 1900 kg.

It is given that velocity of car  A is given as 22 Km/hr

The car B has the velocity of 25 Km/hr.

Let the mass of two bodies are denoted as  m_{1} \ and\ m_{2}

Let the velocity of cars A and B are denoted as v_{1} \ and\ v_{2}

The momentum before collision is-

                                                  p_{i} =m_{1} v_{1} +m_{2} v_{2}

[Here p stand for momentum.]

We are asked to calculate the final momentum of the system after collision.

The answer of the question is based law of conservation of  linear momentum.

As per law of conservation of linear momentum the sum total linear momentum for an isolated system is always constant.Hence irrespective of the type of collision[elastic and inelastic],the momentum of the system is always constant which is a universal truth.

Let after the collision the velocity of A and B are v'_{1} \ and\ v'_{2}

Hence the final momentum of the system is-

                                                        p_{f} = m_{1} v'_{1} +m_{2} v'_{2}

As per the law of conservation of linear momentum, the initial and final momentum must be equal i.e      

                              p_{i} =p_{f}

                               m_{1} v_{1} +m_{2}v_{2} =m_{1} v'_{1} +m_{2} v'_{2}

Hence the option A  is right.

At its widest point, the diameter of a bottlenose dolphin is 0.50 m. Bottlenose dolphins are particularly sleek, having a drag c
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

497.00977 N

3742514.97005

Explanation:

\rho = Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

C = Drag coefficient = 0.09

v = Velocity of dolphin = 7.5 m/s

r = Radius of bottlenose dolphin = 0.5/2 = 0.25 m

A = Area

Drag force

F_d=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow F_d=\frac{1}{2}\times 1000 \times 0.09(\pi 0.25^2)7.5^2\\\Rightarrow F_d=497.00977\ N

The drag force on the dolphin's nose is 497.00977 N

at 20°C

\mu = Dynamic viscosity = 1.002\times 10^{-3}\ Pas

Reynold's Number

Re=\frac{\rho vd}{\mu}\\\Rightarrow Re=\frac{1000\times 7.5\times 0.5}{1.002\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow Re=3742514.97005

The Reynolds number is 3742514.97005

Manuel is holding a 5 kg box. How much force us the box exerting on him? in what direction
Free_Kalibri [48]
It will be 49 Newtons of force in the down direction. To find the force in newtons, you multiply the mass (5 kg) by the gravity (which if 9.8).

The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. Being positively charged, the protons repel each other. The nucleus should fly apart
Arte-miy333 [17]

this is due to the existence of other forces called the strong nuclear forces that overcomes the repulsion forces between the protons and keeps the nucleons holding to each other also there is a type of energy that is called the nuclear binding energy and this energy also works on binding the components of the nucleus together
