Answer:

d. 1 \times 10^{5} kilometers per hour

Explanation:

Halley's comet is named after the astronomer Halley. This comet entered the inner solar system from the Kupier's belt.  It is very large in size. It appears every 75 or 79 years in the inner solar system and can be seen with the naked eye. Its orbit is elliptical in shape. It reflects the sun light, otherwise it is entirely dark and made up of volatile material, as observed

A 2-kg cart, traveling on a horizontal air track with a speed of 3m/s, collides with a stationary 4-kg cart. The carts stick tog
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first cart, m₁ = 2 kg

initial speed of the first car, u₁ = 3 m/s

mass of the second cart, m₂ = 4 kg

initial speed of the second cart, u₂ = 0

Let the final speed of both carts = v, since they stick together after collision.

Apply the principle of conservation of momentum to determine v

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

2 x 3 + 0 = v(2 + 4)

6 = 6v

v = 1 m/s

Impulse is given by;

I = ft = mΔv = m(

The impulse exerted by the first cart on the second cart is given;

I = 2 (3 -1 )

I = 4 N.s

The impulse exerted by the second cart on the first cart is given;

I = 4(0-1)

I = - 4 N.s (equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the impulse exerted by the first).

Therefore, the impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.

A particle is moving with velocity v(t) = t2 _ 9t + 18 with distance, s measured in meters, left or right of zero, and t measure
Alex787 [66]
V = t^2 - 9t + 18

position, s
s = t^3 /3 - 4.5t^2 +18t + C

       t = 0, s = 1 => 1=C => s = t^3/3 -4.5t^2 + 18t + 1

Average velocity: distance / time

   distance: t = 8 => s = 8^3 / 3 - 4.5 (8)^2 + 18(8) + 1 = 27.67 m
   Average velocity = 27.67 / 8 = 3.46 m/s

t = 5 s

     v = t^2 - 9t + 18 = 5^2 - 9(5) + 18 = -2 m/s
     speed = |-2| m/s = 2 m/s
 
Moving right
     V > 0 => t^2 - 9t + 18 > 0
     (t - 6)(t - 3) > 0

     => t > 6 and t > 3 => t > 6 s => Interval (6,8)

    => t < 6 and t <3 => t <3 s => interval (0,3)

    

Going faster and slowing dowm

acceleration, a = v' = 2t - 9
     a > 0 => 2t - 9 > 0 => 2t > 9 => t > 4.5 s
     Then, going faster in the interval (4.5 , 8) and slowing down in (0, 4.5)

You leave on a 450 miles trip in order to attend a meeting that will start 10.8 hours after you begin your trip. Along the way y
Lorico [155]

Answer:2.6 h

Explanation:

Given

Total Trip distance=450 miles

Meeting starts after 10.8 hours

safe Fastest speed is  55 mi/h

so if he drives all the to the meeting with max speed then it takes =\frac{450}{55}=8.181 h

and total allowable time is 10.8

Therefore longest time he can spend over dinner is 10.8-8.181 \approx 2.6 hours
