The parking brake on a 1000 kg Cadillac has failed, and it is rolling slowly, at 1 mph , toward a group of small children. Seein

g the situation, you realize you have just enough time to drive your 2000 kg Volkswagen head-on into the Cadillac and save the children. You may want to review (Page 269) . Part A With what speed should you impact the Cadillac to bring it to a halt?

Answer:

0.5 mph in the opposite direction

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of Cadillac = 1000 kg

v_1 = Velocity of Cadillac = 1 mph

m_2 = Mass of Volkswagen = 2000 kg

v_2 = Velocity of Volkswagen

In order to know the speed the system must have the momentum exchange

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=0\\\Rightarrow v_2=-\dfrac{m_1v_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\dfrac{1000\times 1}{2000}\\\Rightarrow v_2=-0.5\ mph

The speed of the impact is given by 0.5 mph in the opposite direction

Assuming that the limits of the visible spectrum are approximately 380 and 700 nm, find the angular range of the first-order vis
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

angular range is ( 0.681 rad , 0.35 rad )

Explanation:

given data

wavelength λ = 380 nm = 380 × 10^{-9} m

wavelength λ  = 700 nm =  700 × 10^{-9} m

to find out

angular range of the first-order

solution

we will apply here slit experiment equation that is

d sinθ = m λ    ...........1

here m is 1 for single slit and d is = \frac{1}{900*10^3 m}

so put here value in equation 1 for 380 nm

we get

d sinθ = m λ

\frac{1}{900*10^3} sinθ = 1 × 380 × 10^{-9}

θ = 0.35 rad

and for 700 nm

we get

d sinθ = m λ

\frac{1}{900*10^3} sinθ = 1 × 700 × 10^{-9}

θ = 0.681 rad

so angular range is ( 0.681 rad , 0.35 rad )

A ball is projected upward at time t = 0.0 s, from a point on a roof 60 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls until it
musickatia [10]
<span> y=y0 + vt +1/2gt^2
(solve for t here) cause you know y,y0,v,g
you will do quad formula here

then:
v=v0 +at solve for v
(remember the direction of the ball too (signs))

The main thing to remember here is that when the ball passes exactly (height) where it was launched it will travel the speed at which it was launched. *its almost like the ball was thrown in the downward direction. </span>
