Answer:

A ratio of equivalent units

Explanation:

A conversion factor is a ratio of equivalent units and depends on which units are to be converted.

For example we want to convert 275 [mm] to inches, so we have to find the right conversion factor to allow us to work that conversion.

275 [mm] = inches = ?

$275 [mm] * \frac{1in}{25.4mm} = 10.82 [in]$

In this case the ratio is 1/25.4 = 0.039 [in/mm]

If v lies in the first quadrant and makes an angle Ï/3 with the positive x-axis and |v| = 4, find v in component form.

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

$v=$

Explanation:

We are given that

Magnitude of vector v= $\mid v\mid =4$

v lies in the first quadrant

$\theta=\frac{\pi}{3}$

$v_x=\mid v\mid cos\theta$

$v_y=\mid v\mid sin\theta$

Substitute the values then we get

$v_x=4cos\frac{\pi}{3}$

$v_x=4\times \frac{1}{2}=2$

$cos\frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{1}{2}$

$v_y=4\times sin\frac{\pi}{3}=4\times \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}=2\sqrt 3$

$sin\frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$

Therefore, the vector v in component form $=$

$v=$

two vehicles have a head on collision. one vehicle has a mass of 3000 kg and moves at 25 m/s while the second vehicle has a mass

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The speed of the combined vehicles is 6.82m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum which stayed that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to their sum of momentum after collision. After collision, both object moves with the same velocity.

Momentum = mass×velocity

Before collision:

Momentum of vehicle or mass 3000kg moving with velocity 25m/s

= 3000×25

= 75000kgm/s

Pa = 75000kgm/s

Momentum of vehicle with mass 2500kg moving with velocity of -15m/s

= 2500×-15

= -37500kgm/s

After collision:

Momentum = (3000+2500)V

Where v is their common velocity

Momentum after collision = 5500V

Based on the law:

75000+(-37500) = 5500V

75000-37500 = 5500V

37500 = 5500V

V = 37500/5500

V = 6.82m/s
