This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle which establishes the initial momentum $p_{i}$ must be equal to the final momentum $p_{f}$ , and taking into account this is aninelastic collision:

Before the collision:

$p_{i}=mV_{o}+MU_{o}$ (1)

After the collision:

$p_{f}=(m+M)V_{f}$ (2)

Where:

$m=1380 kg$ is the mass of the car

$V_{o}=23 m/s$ is the velocity of the car, directed to the north

$M=1625 kg$ is the mass of the truck

$U_{o}=-26 m/s$ is the velocity of the truck, directed to the south

$V_{f}$ is the final velocity of both the car and the truck

$p_{i}=p_{f}$ (3)

$mV_{o}+MU_{o}=(m+M)V_{f}$ (4)

Isolating $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}=\frac{mV_{o}+MU_{o}}{m+M}$ (5)

$V_{f}=\frac{(1380 kg)(23 m/s)+(1625 kg)(-26 m/s)}{1380 kg+1625 kg}$ (6)

Finally:

$V_{f}=-3.49 m/s$ The negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity is to the south

mini stereo speaker cables are made of copper wire surrounded by robert electricity travel down the copper portion of the cable

Tom [10]

Here current is flowing through the copper wire so this shows that copper is good conductor of electricity.

It is having less resistance as it conducts the current easily

Now a rubber coating on it will protect us from electric shock

So this property shows that rubber is a bad conductor of electricity

It is having large electrical resistance due to which it will conduct no current

Rubber : - No transmittance of electricity

copper :- good transmittance of electricity

Come si esprime il numero 0,00123 in notazione scientifica?

Inessa [10]

Answer:

0,00123 = 1,2*10^{-3}

Explanation:

To write down correctly the number 0,00123 in scientific notation, you take into account that the scientific notation demands that there in only one number after the comma ( , ). Furthermore, it is necessary that you move the comma to the right of the first number different of zero, in this case the number 1. To do this you move the comma three positions.

Then, you have to multiply the expresion 1.23 by 10 with an exponential -3 (because of the movement of the comma in three positions). That is:

0,00123 = 1,23*10^{-3}

But it is mandatory that nly one number can stay after the comma, so, you approximate the number three. In this case, the number is lower than 5, hence, you approximate 3 to 0.

Finally, you have:

0,00123 = 1,2*10^{-3}
