The car A has a weight of 4000 lb and is traveling to the right at 3 ft/s. Meanwhile a 2000 lb car B is traveling at 6 ft/s to t

he left. If the cars crash head-on, and at a time instant during the crash the impact force on A is 900 lb to the left, what is the magnitude and direction of the impact force exerted on B at the instant?
(A) 900 lb to the left
(B) 450 lb to the left
(C) 450 lb to the right
(D) 1800 lb to the left
(E) 900 lb to the right

To solve this problem we should apply Newton's third law for which it is defined that there must be an equal reaction in the opposite direction.

From this law, if Car A generates a force on car B, that car must have opposed a force exactly the same but in the opposite direction. The car A moved to the left and generates a force of 900lb so the magnitude of the force in the car B is also 900lb but to the right (opposite direction to the first car)

The correct option is 900lb to the right.

Answer:

I was going to give you the paper where I saw it but since you are not giving enough points I can not give you so I am only going to give you some of these that are here sorry

Explanation:

1.

9^{2} + 12^2 = x^2\\81 + 144= x^2\\\sqrt{225} = \sqrt{x} \\         15=x\\\\ 2.\\x^2+12^2+=13^2\\x^2+144 =169\\x^2 = 25\\\sqrt{x^2 =\sqrt{25\\\\

x=5

3.\\12^2+32^2 = x^2\\34.176= x

7.

5,12,13

9.

\frac{x}{4} ,\frac{12}{4} ,\frac{20}{4}\\\\\frac{x}{4},3,5  \\\\x=16\\\\12. \\x^2 + 48^2=50^2\\\\x^2=196\\x=14

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air
frosja888 [35]

The frequency of the wave has not changed.

In fact, the frequency of a wave is given by:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where v is the wave's speed and \lambda is the wavelength.

Applying the formula:

- In air, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{400 m/s}{2 m}=200 Hz

- underwater, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{1600 m/s}{8 m}=200 Hz

So, the frequency has not changed.

A cat is running at 24 m/s. It then accelerates at 7 m/s2. How long will it take the cat to reach a speed of 49 m/s?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

t should be 3.57 second

Explanation:

Formula used is v = u+at

In which v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Substitute each of the info given into the formula and calculate.

49 = 24 + (7)t

t = 3.57s

A) An automobile light has a 1.0-A current when it is connected to a 12-V battery. Determine the resistance of the light.
kirill [66]

Answer:

The resistance in first case is 12 Ω, power delivered is 12 W, and potential difference is 0.01 V

Explanation:

Given:

(A)

Current I = 1 A

Voltage V = 12 V

For finding the resistance,

  V = IR

  R = \frac{V}{I}

  R = \frac{12}{1}

  R = 12Ω

(B)

For finding power delivered,

  P = I^{2} R

  P = (1) ^{2} \times 12

  P = 12 Watt

(C)

For finding the potential difference,

   V = IR

   V = 5 \times 10^{-3} \times 2

   V = 10 \times 10^{-3}

   V = 0.01 V

Therefore, the resistance in first case is 12 Ω, power delivered is 12 W, and potential difference is 0.01 V
