Distance plays an incredible factor, especially when taking into consideration especially long distances in terms of shooting a gun. You may be familiar with the Coriolis Effect, and how a bullet's trajectory will change in relation to the rotation of the Earth. The farther the distance, the greater the change in trajectory.

engineers are using computer models to study train collisions design safer train cars. They start by modeling an elastic collisi

Archy [21]

Answer:

The final velocity of the second car is 57 m/s south.

Explanation:

This is an elastic collision between two train cars. In this case, the total kinetic energy between the two bodies will remain the same.

The formula to apply is :

$m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f$

where ;

$m_1=mass of object 1\\v_1i=initial velocity object1\\m_2=mass of object2\\v_2i=initial velocity object 2\\v_1f=final velocity object 1\\v_2f=final velocity object 2$

Given in the question that;

$m_1=14650kg\\v_1i=18m/s\\m_2=3825kg\\v_2i=11m/s\\v_1f=6m/s\\v_2f=?$

Apply the formula as;

$m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f$

{14650*18}+{3825*11} = {14650 *6} + {3825 * v₂f}

263700+42075=87900 + 3825v₂f

305775 =87900 + 3825v₂f

305775-87900 = 3825v₂f

217875=3825v₂f

217875/3825 =v₂f

56.96 = v₂f

<u>57 m/s = v₂f { nearest whole number}</u>

Determine the empirical formula for a compound that is 36.86% n and 63.14% o by mass.

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

$NO_{1.499}$

Explanation:

Let assume that 100 kg of the compound is tested. The quantity of kilomoles for each element are, respectively:

$n_{N} = \frac{36.86\,kg}{14.006\,\frac{kg}{kmol} }$

$n_{N} = 2.632\,kmol$

$n_{O} = \frac{63.14\,kg}{15.999\,\frac{kg}{kmol} }$

$n_{O} = 3.946\,kmol$

Ratio of kilomoles oxygen to kilomole nitrogen is:

$n^{*} = \frac{3.946\,kmol}{2.632\,kmol}$

$n^{*}= 1.499$

It means that exists 1.499 kilomole oxygen for each kilomole nitrogen.

The empirical formula for the compound is:

$NO_{1.499}$

If you use a force of 90 N to pick up a 10 pound bag of charcoal, what is the acceleration?

hjlf

Answer:

9ms^2

Explanation:

since ,Force=mass*acceleration

then, acceleration=force/mass

and, Force=90N

Mass=10pound

therefore, acceleration=90/10

=9ms^2

If an object is placed between the focal point and twice the focal length of a convex lens, which type of image will be produced

valentinak56 [21]

<span>The image produced is real and enlarged.

Check for various positions of objects and Images for convex lens.

Note at position of 2F, the image is same as the object, and once it is between 2F and F, the image becomes bigger than the object. </span>
