Answer:

C) 6 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=5000 kg

The initial velocity of 5000 kg car =u₁

m₂=10,000 kg

The initial velocity of 10000 kg car =u₂ = 0 m/s

After collision the final speed of the both car,v = 2 m/s

There is no any external force on the system that is why linear momentum will be conserved.

Linear momentum P = m v

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₂ + m₁) v

5000 x u₁ + 10000 x 0 = (5000 + 10000) x 2

5000 x u₁ = 15000 x 2

5 x u₁ = 15 x 2

u₁ = 6 m/s

Therefore the answer is C.

C) 6 m/s

which view of the macroeconomy suggests that the speed of adjustment Purcell correction would be very quick
horsena [70]

Rational expectations theory suggests that the speed of adjustment Purcell correction would be very quick.

<h3>What Is Rational Expectations Theory?</h3>

The rational expectations theory is a widely used concept and modeling technique in macroeconomics. Individuals make decisions based on three primary factors, according to the theory: their human rationality, the information available to them, and their past experiences.

The rational expectations hypothesis was originally suggested by John (Jack) Muth 1 (1961) to explain how the outcome of a given economic phenomena depends to a certain degree on what agents expect to happen.

  • People who have rational expectations always learn from their mistakes.
  • Forecasts are unbiased, and people make decisions based on all available information and economic theories.
  • People understand how the economy works and how government policies affect macroeconomic variables like the price level, unemployment rate, and aggregate output.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

12 mins

Explanation:

The distance covered is 5 km, divide this by 25 to get the fraction of an hour it takes. Doing this you get .2, times this by 60 min (1 hour) to get how many mins it takes

Consider a uniformly charged sphere of radius Rand total charge Q. The electric field Eout outsidethe sphere (r≥R) is simply tha
AlexFokin [52]

1) Electric potential inside the sphere: \frac{Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}(3-\frac{r^2}{R^2})

2) Ratio Vcenter/Vsurface: 3/2

3) Find graph in attachment

Explanation:

1)

The electric field inside the sphere is given by

E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Qr}{R^3}

where

\epsilon_0=8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m is the vacuum permittivity

Q is the charge on the sphere

R is the radius of the sphere

r is the distance from the centre at which we compute the field

For a radial field,

E(r)=-\frac{dV(r)}{dr}

Therefore, we can find the potential at distance r by integrating the expression for the electric field. Calculating the difference between the potential at r and the potential at R,

V(R)-V(r)=-\int\limits^R_r  E(r)dr=-\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R^3}\int r dr = \frac{-Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R^3}(R^2-r^2)

The potential at the surface, V(R), is that of a point charge, so

V(R)=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}

Therefore we can find the potential inside the sphere, V(r):

V(r)=V(R)+\Delta V=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}+\frac{-Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R^3}(R^2-r^2)=\frac{Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}(3-\frac{r^2}{R^2})

2)

At the center,

r = 0

Therefore the potential at the center of the sphere is:

V(r)=\frac{Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}(3-\frac{r^2}{R^2})\\V(0)=\frac{3Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}

On the other hand, the potential at the surface is

V(R)=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}

Therefore, the ratio V(center)/V(surface) is:

\frac{V(0)}{V(R)}=\frac{\frac{3Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}}{\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}}=\frac{3}{2}

3)

The graph of V versus r can be found in attachment.

We observe the following:

- At r = 0, the value of the potential is \frac{3}{2}V(R), as found in part b) (where V(R)=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R})

- Between r and R, the potential decreases as -\frac{r^2}{R^2}

- Then at r = R, the potential is V(R)

- Between r = R and r = 3R, the potential decreases as \frac{1}{R}, therefore when the distance is tripled (r=3R), the potential as decreased to 1/3 (\frac{1}{3}V(R))

Over the last several decades, scientists have addressed the problem of nonrenewable natural resources such as fossil fuels. Hum
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The nuclear energy is defined as a type of energy which liberates either by the process of nuclear fusion or nuclear fission and is mainly used to generate electricity. This energy is stored in the core of an atom (or nucleus).

It is highly effective, cost-effective and there is no emission of greenhouse gases.

But it also has some disadvantages, of which one is that it produces radioactive waste materials, which are difficult to dispose these substances and is also a very expensive method. These materials emit radiations that are harmful to the organisms. So, it is very challenging to dispose these radioactive waste materials.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
