Answer:

  • The initial speed of the truck is 21.93 m/s, and the initial speed of the car is 19.524 m/s  

Explanation:

We can use conservation of momentum to find the initial velocities.

Taking the unit vector \hat{i} pointing north and \hat{j} pointing east, the final velocity will be

\vec{V}_f = 16.0 \frac{m}{s} \ ( \ cos(24.0 \°) \ , \ sin (24.0 \°) \ )

\vec{V}_f = ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )

The final linear momentum will be:

\vec{P}_f = (m_{car}+ m_{truck}) * V_f

\vec{P}_f = (950 \ kg \ + 1900 \ kg \ ) *  ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )

\vec{P}_f = (2.850 \ kg \ ) *  ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )

\vec{P}_f = ( \ 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} \ , \ 18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ )

As there are not external forces, the total linear momentum must be constant.

So:

\vec{P}_0= \vec{P}_f

As initially the car is travelling east, and the truck is travelling north, the initial linear momentum must be

\vec{P}_0= ( m_{truck} * v_{truck}, m_{car}* v_{car} ) 

so:

 \vec{P}_0= \vec{P}_f 

( m_{truck} * v_{truck}, m_{car}* v_{car} ) = ( \ 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} \ , \ 18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ )  

so

\left \{ {{m_{truck} \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}  } \atop {m_{car} \ v_{car}=18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} }} \right.

So, for the truck

m_{truck} \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}

1900 \ kg \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}

v_{truck} = \frac{41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}}{1900 \ kg}

v_{truck} = \frac{41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}}{1900 \ kg}

v_{truck} = 21.93 \frac{m}{s}

And, for the car

950 \ kg \ v_{car}=18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s}

v_{car}=\frac{18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s}}{950 \ kg}

v_{car}=19.524 \frac{m}{s}

Which of the following is true about Viscosity of liquids:
White raven [17]
Viscosity of liquids is essentially the 'thickness' of the liquid. For instance, honey and water have different viscosities. Honey has a higher one and therefore, liquids with high viscosity do not flow as well as liquids with low viscosity (water).

AveGali [126]

Answer:

0.0979 N/c

Explanation:

Electric field, E is given as a product of resistivity and current density

E=jP where P is resistivity and j is current density

But the current density is given as

j=\frac {I}{A} where I is current and A is area and A=\pi r^{2}

Substituting this into the first equation then E=P\times \frac {I}{\pi r^{2}}

Given diameter of 0.259 cm= 0.00259 m and the radius will be half of it which is 0.001295 m

E=1.72\times 10^{-8}\times \frac {30}{\pi \times 0.001295^{2}}=9.79\times 10^{-2} N/c=0.0979 N/c
