During a collision, a bus runs into a skateboarder inelastically. If the mass of the skateboarders is 70 kg and is moving at 12

m/s to the right, what is the final velocity of the skateboarder if the 2000 kg bus is traveling at 25 m/s to the left before the collision?

The final velocity of the skateboarder is 23.75 m/s.

We can use conservation of momentum to calculate the magnitude of the final velocity.

Momentum before collision is equal to the momentum after collision

m1v1+m2v2=(m1+m2)v

here, v is final velocity of the skateboarder, assuming right side velocity as positive, and left side velocity as negative.

70*12+2000*(-25)=(70+2000)v

v=-23.75 m/s

Here, negative sign indicates that both skyboarder and bus will move in left direction.

It is easier to overcome load when the load is shifted towards the wheel in a wheelbarrow why ? give reason​
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The wheelbarrow's wheel and axle help the wheelbarrow to move without friction thus making it easier to push or pull. That's why it will be easier to lift a load in wheel barrow of the load is transferred towards the wheel.

A transmission diffraction grating with 420 lines/mm is used to study the light intensity of di event orders (n). A screen is lo
Goshia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Diffraction grating is used to form interference pattern of dark and bright band.

Distance between adjacent slits (a ) = 1 / 420 mm

= 2.38 x 10⁻³ mm

2.38 x 10⁻⁶ m

wave length of red light

= 680 x 10⁻⁹ m

For bright red band

position x on the screen

= n λD / a ,         n = 0,1,2,3 etc

D = distance of screen

putting n = 1 , 2 and 3 , we can get three locations of bright red band.

x₁ = λD / a

=  680 x 10⁻⁹ x 2.8 / 2.38 x 10⁻⁶

= .8 m

= 80 cm

Position of second bright band

= 2 λD / a

= 2 x 80

= 160 cm

Position of third bright band

= 3 λD / a

= 3 x 80

= 240 cm

The y component of the electric field of an electromagnetic wave traveling in the +x direction through vacuum obeys the equation
Alexxx [7]

Answer: 8.6 µm

Explanation:

At a long distance from the source, the components (the electric and magnetic fields) of the electromagnetic waves, behave like plane waves, so the equation for the y component of the electric field obeys an equation like this one:

Ey =Emax cos (kx-ωt)

So, we can write the following equality:

ω= 2.2 1014 rad/sec

The angular frequency and the linear frequency are related as follows:

f = ω/ 2π= 2.2 1014 / 2π (rad/sec) / rad = 0.35 1014 1/sec

In an electromagnetic wave propagating through vacuum, the speed of the wave is just the speed of light, c.

The wavelength, speed and frequency, are related by this equation:

λ = c/f

λ = 3.108 m/s / 0.35. 1014 1/s = 8.6 µm.
