Two cars (with masses 2000 kg and 1000 kg) collide head on an icy road. Before the collision, the more massive vehicle was movin

g at 10 m/s to the right and the less massive vehicle was moving at 15 m/s to the left. Immediately after the collision, the more massive vehicle was moving at 7.0 m/s to the left. How fast was the less massive Vehicle immediately after the collision?

Answer:

v₂' = 19 m/s

Explanation:

given,                    

mass of car one = m₁ = 2000 Kg

mass of car two = m₂ = 1000 Kg

velocity of car one in right (v₁) = 10 m/s

velocity of car two in left (v₂)= 15 m/s

after collision                        

velocity(v₁') = 7 m/s

v₂' = ?                            

using conservation of momentum

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'

2000 x 10 - 1000 x 15 = - 2000 x 7 + 1000 v₂'

1000 v₂' = 19000

v₂' = 19 m/s

How does adding more of a substance affect it's density?
fomenos
I’m going to use molasses as an example of a substance.

The mass and volume both change when changing the amount of molasses.
However, the density does not change. This is because the mass and volume increase at the same rate/proportion!

Even though there is more molasses (mass) in test tube A, the molasses also takes up more space (volume). Therefore, the spacing between those tiny particles that make up the molasses is constant (does not change).

The size or amount of a material/substance does not affect its density.

TEA [102]

Answer:

Friction, normal force, and weight

Explanation:

If the book slows down, it means that there must be friction acting in the opposite direction of the direction the book is moving in.

Weight is caused by the gravitational pull of the Earth on the book, and normal force is the table pushing the book up because the book is pushing down on the table (3rd law.)

Note that weight and normal force is not the 3rd law action-reaction pair. The pair is the force of the book on the table and the force of the table on the book.

Americium-241 is used in smoke detectors. It undergoes alpha decay with a half life of 432 years. The alpha particles ionize som
babymother [125]

Answer:

860.6 years.

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Initial detector activity = 370000 alpha decays per second

Final detector activity = 93000 alpha decays per second

Formula for time to change in activity is given by the following relation;

t_{93000} = \dfrac{-ln\dfrac{A}{A_0} }{\lambda} =  \dfrac{-ln\dfrac{93000}{370000} }{5.08 \times 10^{-11}} = 2.72 \times 10^{10} \, seconds

t₉₃₀₀₀ = 2.72 × 10¹⁰ seconds = 860.6 years.

1. A small package is dropped from the Golden Gate Bridge. What is the velocity of the package
Sidana [21]

The velocity of the package  after it has fallen for 3.0 s is 29.4 m/s

From the question,

A small package is dropped from the Golden Gate Bridge.

This means the initial velocity of the package is 0 m/s.

We are to calculate the velocity of the package  after it has fallen for 3.0 s.

From one of the equations of kinematics for objects falling freely,

We have that,

v = u + gt

Where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

and t is time

To calculate the velocity of the package  after it has fallen for 3.0 s

That means, we will determine the value of v, at time t = 3.0 s

The parameters are

u = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

t = 3.0 s

Putting these values into the equation

v = u + gt

We get

v = 0 + (9.8×3.0)

v = 0 + 29.4

v = 29.4 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the package  after it has fallen for 3.0 s is 29.4 m/s
