When cars are equipped with flexible bumpers, they will bounce off each other during low-speed collisions, thus causing less dam

age. In one such accident, a 1850 kg car traveling to the right at 1.60 m/s collides with a 1400 kg car going to the left at 1.10 m/s . Measurements show that the heavier car's speed just after the collision was 0.270 m/s in its original direction. You can ignore any road friction during the collision.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

U1 = 1.6 m/s

U2 = -1.1 m/s

M1 = 1850 kg

M2 = 1400 kg

V1 = 0.27 m/s

Using momentum- collision equation,

M1U1 + M2U2 = M1V1 + M2V2

1850 × 1.6 - 1400 × 1.1 = 1850 × 0.27 + 1400 × V2

1420 = 499.5 + 1400V2

V2 = 0.6575 m/s

B.

KE = 1/2 × MV^2

KEa1 + KEa2 = KEb1 + KEb2

Delta KE = KE2 - KE1

KEa1 = 2368 J

KEb1 = 847 J

KEa2 = 67.433 J

KEb2 = 302.6 J

KE1 = KEa1 + KEb1

= 3215 J

KE2 = 370.033 J

Delta KE = -2845 J.

Why is it not necessary for radio telescope surfaces to be as smooth as a mirror?
Law Incorporation [45]
It doesn't on account of radio waves are longer than optical waves. Radio waves are a sort of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic range longer than infrared light. These long waves are in the radio locale of the electromagnetic range.

5. Two charged particles are separated by a distance of 12 meters. The Coulomb force between them is 20 N. What will the Coulomb
Leni [432]

Answer:

A) 80 N

Explanation:

The closer the particles get, the stronger the Coulomb force, which elongates choices C and D. The Coulomb force is inversely proportional to the distance squared. If the distance is cut in half, the force is multiplied by the reciprocal of (1/2)^2, which is 4. Multiplying it out, 20 times 4 is 80 N.

A lamp is 10% efficient.How much electrical energy must be supplied to the lamp each second if it produces 20 J of light energy
k0ka [10]

If it produces 20J of light energy in a second, then that 20J is the 10% of the supply that becomes useful output.

20 J/s = 10% of Supply

20 J/s = (0.1) x (Supply)

Divide each side by 0.1:

Supply = (20 J/s) / (0.1)

<em>Supply = 200 J/s  </em>(200 watts)

========================

Here's something to think about:  What could you do to make the lamp more efficient ?  Answer:  Use it for a heater !

If you use it for a heater, then the HEAT is the 'useful' part, and the light is the part that you really don't care about.  Suddenly ... bada-boom ... the lamp is 90% efficient !

Why burette calibrated from top to bottom?​
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

In order to measure the amount of solution added in or drained out, the burette must be observed at eye level straight to the bottom of the meniscus. The liquid in the burette should be completely free of bubbles to ensure accurate measurements.
