Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1050 kg and was approaching at

6.00 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 750 kg and was approaching at 25.0 m/s due west.

Answer:

v = 11.0 m/s at 198.6° (18.6° south of west)

ΔKE = -145 kJ

Explanation:

I assume you want to find the final velocity and the change in kinetic energy.

Take east to be +x and north to be +y.

Momentum is conserved in the x direction:

(1050 kg) (0 m/s) + (750 kg) (-25.0 m/s) = (1050 kg + 750 kg) vₓ

vₓ = -10.4 m/s

Momentum is conserved in the y direction:

(1050 kg) (-6.00 m/s) + (750 kg) (0 m/s) = (1050 kg + 750 kg) vᵧ

vᵧ = -3.50 m/s

The magnitude of the final velocity is:

v² = (-10.4 m/s)² + (-3.50 m/s)²

v = 11.0 m/s

The direction of the final velocity is:

θ = atan(-3.50 m/s / -10.4 m/s)

θ = 198.6°

The initial kinetic energy is:

KE₀ = ½ (1050 kg) (6.00 m/s)² + ½ (750 kg) (25.0 m/s)²

KE₀ = 253,275 J

The final kinetic energy is:

KE = ½ (1800 kg) (11.0 m/s)²

KE = 108,682 J

The change in kinetic energy is:

ΔKE = 108,682 J − 253,275 J

ΔKE ≈ -145,000 J

When Earth and the Moon are separated by a
Wewaii [24]
     Using the Universal Gratitation Law, we have:

F= \frac{MmG}{d^2}  \\ MmG=2*10^{20}*(3.84*10^8)^2 \\ MmG=29.4912*10^36
 
     Again applying the formula in the new situation, comes:

F= \frac{MmG}{d^2} \\ F= \frac{29.4912*10^36}{(1.92*10^8)^2} \\ \boxed {F=8*10^{20}}

Number 4

physics Test 2 In a double slit experiment, if the separation between the two slits is 0.050 mm and the distance from the slits
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:0.015 m

Explanation:

Given

distance between two slits(d)=0.050 mm

Distance between slit and screen=2.5 m

Wavelength(\lambda )=600 nm

and distance between First order and second order=\frac{D\lambda }{2d}

=\frac{2.5\times 600\times 10^{-9}}{2\times 5\times 10^{-5}}

=15\times 10^{-3}

=0.015 m
