A 3-ton Toyota land cruiser travelled at a speed of 45m/s, collides with a 2- ton comfort taxi which was parked in front of the

traffic lights intersection. After the collision, both cars lock together and move off in one direction. Determine the speed of cars after collision.

Answer:

v = 27 m/s

Explanation:

To find the speed of cars after the collision  you take into account the momentum conservation law. Total momentum of both cars before the collision must be equal to the total momentum of both cars after the collision.

After the collision both cars traveled together, then you have:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v   (1)

m1: mass of the Toyota = 3-ton = 3000 kg

m2: mass of the taxi = 2-ton = 2000kg

v1: speed of the Toyota before the collision = 45m/s

v2: speed of the car before the collision = 0 m/s (it is  at rest)

v: speed of both cars after the collision = ?

You solve the equation (1) for v:

v=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

Next, you replace the values of the rest of the variables:

v=\frac{(3000kg)(45m/s)+0kgm/s}{3000kg+2000kg}=27\frac{m}{s}

hence, just after the collision both cars have a speed of 27m/s

Describe the electron transfers that occur in the formation of calcium fluoride from elemental calcium and elemental fluorine.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Check explanation

Explanation:

In the formation of calcium fluoride we take calcium and fluorine.

in elemental form calcium exist in solid form and fluorine in gaseous form.

formation of compound takes place to complete their octet, in case of calcium  need to remove two electron and need to add one elecron in fluorine to complete their octet so two electron will ransferred from calcium to two fluorine atom.

Coherent microwaves of wavelength 5.00 cm enter a tall, narrow window in a building otherwise essentially opaque to the microwav
zzz [600]
The solution for this problem is:

For 1st minimum, let m be equal to 1. 

d = slit width

D = screen distance. 

Θ = arcsin (m * lambda/ (d))


= 0.13934 rad, 7.9836 deg 

y = D*tan (Θ)

y = 6.50 * tan (7.9836)

= 0.91161 m is the distance from the central maximum to the first-order minimum

Reuptake refers to the...
Arada [10]

Reuptake refers to the REABSORPTION of excess neurotransmitter molecules by a sending neuron (Option b).

Reuptake is the mechanism by which cells reabsorb chemical messengers produced and secreted by them. In nerve terminals, reuptake is used to reabsorb released neurotransmitters.

The reuptake mechanism is exploited in therapeutics for the development of target drugs and treatments.

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that acts to stabilize different emotions such as mood, feelings of well-being, appetite and happiness.

For example, serotonin reuptake inhibitors which are capable of blocking the reuptake of serotonin to modulate serotonin brain levels have recently been developed.
