A mosquito flying at 3 m/s that encounters a breeze blowing at 3 m/s in the same direction has a speed of

Answer:

6m/s

Explanation:

The mosquito will have a speed of 6 m/s.

if the speed of the mosquito and breeze was in opposite direction, we will subtracted them from each other and the result will be the speed of mosquito moving in the direction of the higher speed  (between the breeze and mosquito). while if they are both moving in the same direction the speed of the mosquito will be the sum of both the speed of the mosquito and breeze thus the mosquito and breeze are moving in the same direction so we just sum it up (3m/s + 3m/s = 6m/s).

A 1300 kg car traveling at 35 mph rear-ends a 1000 kg car traveling 25 mph. Just after the collision (but before the driver’s sl
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer

given,

before collision

mass of car A = m_a = 1300 kg

velocity of car A = v_a  = 35 mph

mass of car B = m_b= 1000 kg

velocity of car B = v_b  = 25 mph

after collision

V_a = 30 mph

V_b = 31.5 mph

Initial momentum

P_1 = m_av_a + m_b v_b

P_1 = 1300 \times 35+ 1000 \times 25

P_1 =70500 Kg.m/s

final momentum

P_2 = m_aV_a + m_b V_b

P_2 = 1300 \times 30+ 1000 \times 31.5

P_2 =70500 Kg.m/s

here  initial momentum is equal to the final momentum of the car.

hence, momentum is conserved in the collision.

What is the benefit of developing the atomic mass unit as a standard unit of mass?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The atomic mass unit is 1/12 of an atom of carbon 12, and is a very small amount to represent in kilograms:

1m_{u}=1.66054x10^{-27}kg

m_{u} is atomic mass unit.

This is why the benefits of the atomic mass unit is that it makes the representation of atomic masses easier in terms of the simplicity of the numbers that are used to represent the masses. Also using the atomic mass unit it is easier to compare the masses of different atoms, These numbers would be very small and would require negative powers of 10 to represent them, so it is more convenient to use the atomic mass unit.

A "spherical capacitor" is constructed of two thin, concentric spherical shells of conducting material. Let a be the radius of t
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

C=\frac{ab}{k(b-a)}

Explanation:

We can assume this problem as two concentric spherical metals with opposite charges.

We have also to take into account the formulas for the electric field and the capacitance. Hence we have

C=\frac{Q}{V}\\\\E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}\\

Where k is the Coulomb's constant. Furthermore, by taking into account the expression for the potential and by integrating

dV=Edr\\\\V=\int_{R_1}^{R_2}Edr=-\int_{R_1}^{R_2}\frac{kQ}{r^2}dr\\\\V=kQ[\frac{1}{R_2}-\frac{1}{R_1}]

Hence, the capacitance is

C=\frac{1}{k[\frac{1}{R_2}-\frac{1}{R_1}]}

but R1=a and R2=b

C=\frac{ab}{k(b-a)}

HOPE THIS HELPS!!
