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

Based on the attached image:

  • The name of the longitude line that passes through point A is the International Date Line
  • The longitude 180° is experiencing solar noon because the rays of the sun are parallel to it.
  • The longitude for 6 pm is 90° W, 12 midnight is 0°, and 6 am is 90° E
  • Longitude 120° is B
  • Solar time at Point B is 4 pm
  • The location will correspond to any point on the same latitude as A

<h3>What are lines of longitude?</h3>

Lines of longitude are imaginary lines which run along the earth from the North pole. to the South pole.

Longitude lines divide the earth into semi-circles.

Longitude lines are known as meridians and each meridian measures one arc degree of longitude.

Considering the attached image:

  • The name of the longitude line that passes through point A is the International Date Line
  • The longitude 180° is experiencing solar noon because the rays of the sun are parallel to it.
  • The longitude for 6 pm is 90° W, 12 midnight is 0°, and 6 am is 90° E
  • Longitude 120° is B
  • Solar time at Point B is 4 pm
  • the location will correspond to any point on the same latitude as A

In conclusion, longitude lines are imaginary lines and run from North to South on the earth.

If a car's engine gives off 65% thermal energy, what is the maximum efficiency?
stich3 [128]

Answer:

35%

Explanation:

The car's engine gives off 65% thermal energy

So only 35 % is converted into mechanical energy .

input heat = Q₁ = 100

output heat = Q₂ = 65

Work output = Q₁ - Q₂ = W

W = 100 - 65 = 35

Efficiency = W / Q₁ X 100

= (35/ 100) X 100

= 35%.
