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

ow down to pull over), the 1300 kg car is slowed to 30 mph and the 1000 kg car is sped up to 31.5 mph. Was momentum conserved in the collision? Was energy conserved in the collision? Show all work. If momentum or energy was lost, calculate how much and discuss where it could have gone.?

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.

Answer:

1)    Time interval                 Blue Car                      Red Car

          0 - 2 s                Constant Velocity           Increasing Velocity

          2 - 3 s                Constant Velocity           Constant Velocity

          3 - 5 s                Constant Velocity           Increasing Velocity

          5 - 6 s                Constant Velocity           Decreasing Velocity

2) For Red and Blue car y₂  = 120       v = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}} = \frac{120-0}{6-0} = 20 m/s

     We get the same velocity for two cars because it is the average velocity of the car at the given interval of time. It is measured for initial and final position.

3)   At t = 2s, the cars are the same position, and are moving at the same rate

                    Position - same

                    Velocity - same

The position-time graph shares the same spot for two cars.

Alaskan Natives often eat whale blubber while other groups of people typically do not. This is an example of __________. A. food
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

This is an example of Learned preferences.

Explanation:

Alaskan natives are divided into five major groups viz: aleuts, southern eskimos, northern eskimos, interior indians and coastal indians. Although the five groups all have similar ethnic similarities, they occupy different geographical locations in Alaska. The alaska natives have overtime had to adapt to certain conditions largely because of their environment.

A snowboarder on a slope starts from rest and reaches a speed of 4.2 m/s after 7.3 s
Yakvenalex [24]

The car's acceleration will be 0.575 m/s².The unit of acceleration is m/sec².

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

The rate of velocity change concerning time is known as acceleration.

Given data;

Initial velocity, u= 0 m/s

Final velocity, v= 4.2 m/s

Time elapsed, t = 7.3 seconds.

To find ;

Acceleration, a

The acceleration when the change in velocity is observed by the formula as:

a= (v-u)/(t)

Substitute the given values:

a= (4.2-0)/(7.3)

a=(4.2)/(7.3)

a= 0.575 m/s²

Hence, the car's acceleration will be 0.575 m/s².

Anti-reflective coatings on lenses use thin-film interference to eliminate the reflection of a particular color. Suppose a glass
Sidana [21]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

n_g=1.55

n_f=1.35

\lambda=521 nm=521\times 10^{-9} m

1 nm=10^{-9} m

a.We have to find the expression for  the minimum thickness the film can have ,t.

Condition for destructive interference

2nt=(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda

t=\frac{(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda}{2n}

For minimum thickness m=0

Then, t=\frac{\lambda}{4n}

b.Substitute the values

t=\frac{521\times 10^{-9}}{4\times 1.35}=96.5nm
