Answer:

<em>Yes, they are moving in opposite direction one to the other.</em>

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity, which means that it has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude shows the size of the velocity, and the direction shows which way it is moving in reference to a chosen reference direction. If the red box is assigned a positive velocity, and the blue box is assigned a negative velocity, as indicated in the question, then it means that the red box, and the blue box, both move in opposite direction to the other.

A 1.2 x 103 kg racecar, with a velocity of 8 m/s, collides with an unsuspecting 80 kg honey badger who is standing

aalyn [17]

Answer: 90 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of racecar $M=1.2\times10^3\ kg$

velocity of racecar $u=8\ m/s$

mass of still honeybadger $m=80\ kg$

after collision race car is traveling at a speed of $v_1=2\ m/s$

conserving linear momentum

$Mu+m\times0=Mv_1+ mv_2\quad[v_2=\text{velocity of honeybadger after colllision}]$

$1.2\times10^3\times8+0=1.2\times10^3\times2+80\times v_2$

$1.2\times10^3(8-2)=80v_2\\v_2=\frac{7.2\times10^3}{80}=90\ m/s$

A jet accelerates from rest down a runway at 1.75m/s² for a distance of 1500 m before takeoff.

babunello [35]

A. Using the third equation of motion:
v2 = u2 + 2as
from the question;
the jet was initially at rest
hence u = 0
a = 1.75m/s2
s = 1500m
v2 = 02 + 2(1.75)(1500)
v2 = 5250
v = √5250
v = 72.46m/s
hence it moves with a velocity of 72.46m/s.
b. s = ut + 1/2at2
1500 = 0(t) + 1/2(1.75)t2
1500 × 2 = 2× 1/2(1.75)t2
3000 = 1.75t2
1714.29 = t2
41.4 = t
hence the time taken for the plane to down the runway is 41.4s.

infrared radiation from young stars can pass through the heavy dust clouds surrounding them, allowing astronomers here on earth

Mashcka [7]

The wavelength of the infrared radiation is λ = $3.174$ × $10^{-5}$ m.

<h3>What is infrared radiation?</h3>

An infrared telescope is tuned to detect infrared radiation with a frequency of 9.45 THz.

We know that,

1 THz = 10¹² Hz

So,

f = 9.45 × 10¹² Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the infrared radiation.

λ=c/f

λ = 3× $10^{8}$ /9.45× $10^{12}$

λ = 3.174 × $10^{-5}$ m

The term "infrared radiation" (IR) refers to a part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum with wavelengths between about 700 nanometers (nm) and one millimeter (mm). Longer than visible light waves but shorter than radio waves are infrared waves.

Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than those of visible light is known as infrared, also known as infrared light. Since it is undetectable to the human eye, The typical range of wavelengths considered to be infrared (IR) is from about 1 millimeter to the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum, or about 700 nanometers.
