Answer:

-670kg*m/s

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, the force that the smaller car exerts on the bigger car is equal and opposite to the force that the bigger car exerts on the smaller car:

$F_{BS}=-F_{SB}$ ,

where is $F_{BS}$ is the force that the bigger care exerts on the smaller car, and $F_{SB}$ is the force that the smaller care exerts on the bigger car.

And if the force exerted has the same magnitude, then so should the Impulse $I$ , because

$I=F*\Delta t$

The impulse on the smaller car due to the force exerted by the bigger car is:

$I_{BS}=F_{BS}*\Delta t=670kg*m/s$

and the impulse on the bigger car due to the smaller car is

$I_{SB}=F_{SB}*\Delta t$ .

Since

$F_{BS}=-F_{SB}$

then

$I_{SB}=-F_{BS}*\Delta t=-670kg*m/s$

$\boxed{I_{SB}=-670kg*m/s}$

The impulse of the smaller car on the larger car is -670kg*m/s.

Add these two velocity vectors to find the magnitude of their resultant vector.

hammer [34]

The magnitude of their resultant vector is 4.6 meters/seconds

Since we are to add the velocity vectors in order to find the magnitude of their resultant vector.

Hence:

Resultant vector magnitude=5.8 meters/seconds + (1.2 meters/seconds)

Resultant vector magnitude=5.8 meters/seconds-1.2 meters/seconds

Resultant vector magnitude 4.6 meters/seconds

Inconclusion The magnitude of their resultant vector is 4.6 meters/seconds

A pair of narrow slits, separated by 1.8 mm, is illuminated by a monochromatic light source. Light waves arrive at the two slits

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

750 nm

Explanation:

$d$ = separation of the slits = 1.8 mm = 0.0018 m

λ = wavelength of monochromatic light

$D$ = screen distance = 4.8 m

$y$ = position of first bright fringe = $\frac{1cm}{5 fringe} = \frac{0.01}{5} = 0.002 m$

$n$ = order = 1

Position of first bright fringe is given as

$y = \frac{nD\lambda }{d}$

$0.002 = \frac{(1)(4.8)\lambda }{0.0018}$

λ = 7.5 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 750 nm

The perceived loudness of a sound is measured in

diamong [38]

<h2>Answer: decibels </h2>

The decibel $dB$ is the relation between two values: the pressure produced by a sound wave and a pressure taken as a reference. Resulting in a dimensionless value.

It should be noted that itself<u> is not a unit of measure</u>, since in reality the unit is bel $B$ (which <u>is not part of the International System of Units</u>) in honor of Alexander Graham Bell.

However, given the amplitude of the measured elements in practice, its submultiple, the decibel, is used. That is, this quotient is a logarithmic expression, where $1dB=0.1B$

The rate at which heat enters an air conditioned building is often roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Considering first question

Generally the coefficient of performance of the air condition is mathematically represented as

$COP = \frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$

Here $T_i$ is the inside temperature

while $T_o$ is the outside temperature

What this coefficient of performance represent is the amount of heat the air condition can remove with 1 unit of electricity

So it implies that the air condition removes $\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$ heat with 1 unit of electricity

Now from the question we are told that the rate at which heat enters an air conditioned building is often roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between inside and outside. This can be mathematically represented as

$Q \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)$

=> $Q= k (T_o - T_i)$

Here k is the constant of proportionality

So

since 1 unit of electricity removes $\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$ amount of heat

E unit of electricity will remove $Q= k (T_o - T_i)$

So

$E = \frac{k(T_o - T_i)}{\frac{T_i}{ T_h - T_i} }$

=> $E = \frac{k}{T_i} (T_o - T_i)^2$

given that $\frac{k}{T_i}$ is constant

=> $E \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)^2$

From this above equation we see that the electricity required(cost of powering and operating the air conditioner) is approximately proportional to the square of the temperature difference.

Considering the second question

Assuming that $T_i = 30 ^oC$

and $T_o = 40 ^oC$

Hence

$E = K (T_o - T_i)^2$

Here K stand for a constant

So

$E = K (40 - 30)^2$

=> $E = 100K$

Now if the $T_i = 20 ^oC$

Then

$E = K (40 - 20)^2$

=> $E = 400 \ K$

So from this see that the electricity require (cost of powering and operating the air conditioner)when the inside temperature is low is much higher than the electricity required when the inside temperature is higher

Considering the third question

Now in the case where the heat that enters the building is at a rate proportional to the square-root of the temperature difference between inside and outside

We have that

$Q = k (T_o - T_i )^{\frac{1}{2} }$

So

$E = \frac{k (T_o - T_i )^{\frac{1}{2} }}{\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i} }$

=> $E = \frac{k}{T_i} * (T_o - T_i) ^{\frac{3}{2} }$

Assuming $\frac{k}{T_i}$ is a constant

Then

$E \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)^{\frac{3}{2} }$

From this above equation we see that the electricity required(cost of powering and operating the air conditioner) is approximately proportional to the square root of the cube of the temperature difference.
