An object of mass 3.07 kg, moving with an initial velocity of 5.07 m/s, collides with and sticks to an object of mass 2.52 kg wi
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

This is an inelastic collision. This means, unfortunately, that KE cannot save you, at least in the problem's current form.  

Let's see what conservation of momentum in both directions does ya:

Conservation in the x direction:

Only 1 object here has a momentum in the x direction initally.  

m1v1i + 0 = (m1 + m2)(vx)

3.09(5.10) = (3.09 + 2.52)Vx

Vx = 2.81 m/s

Explanation:

Conservation in the y direction:

Again, only 1 object here has initial velocity in the y:

0 + m2v2i = (m1 +m2)Vy

(2.52)(-3.36) = (2.52 + 3.09)Vy

Vy = -1.51 m/s

++++++++++++++++++++

Now that you have Vx and Vy of the composite object, you can find the final velocity by doing Vf = √Vx^2 + Vy^2)

Vf = √(2.81)^2 + (-1.51)^2

Vf = 3.19 m/s

Which can do work faster-a 700 watt gasoline engine or a 300 watt electric motor
iogann1982 [59]

"700 watts" means 700 joules of work per second.

"300 watts" means 300 joules of work per second.

If the labels on both machines are true, and both machines
are loaded to their full capacity, then the 700-watt engine
is doing work faster than the 300-watt one.

Light of wavelength 550nm in air is found to travel at 1.96
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

ν = 5.45 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

given,

wavelength of light = 550 nm

                                = 550 x 10⁻⁹ m

speed of light = 1.96 x 10⁸ m/s

speed of sound = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

frequency of the light = ?

we know.

v = \nu \lambda

frequency of the light in the liquid is same as the frequency of the light in the air.

 ν is the frequency of light

\nu = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}

\nu = \dfrac{3\times 10^{8}}{550\times 10^{-9}}

    ν = 5.45 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Hence, the frequency of light in the liquid is equal to ν = 5.45 x 10¹⁴ Hz
