Answer:

16 m/s.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of truck = 5000 Kg

Velocity of truck = 8 m/s

Mass of car = 2500 kg

Velocity of car =..?

Next, we shall determine the momentum of the truck. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of truck = 5000 Kg

Velocity of truck = 8 m/s

Momentum of truck =.?

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 5000 × 8

Momentum of the truck = 40000 Kg.m/s

Finally, we shall determine the velocity of the car as follow:

From the question given above, we were told that the car and truck has the same momentum.

This implies that:

Momentum of the truck = momentum of car = 40000 Kg.m/s

Thus, the velocity of the car can be obtained as shown below:

Mass of car = 2500 kg

Momentum of the car = 40000 Kg.m/s

Velocity of car =..?

Momentum = mass × velocity

40000 = 2500 × velocity

Divide both side by 2500

Velocity = 40000/2500

Velocity = 16 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the car is 16 m/s.

Two in-phase loudspeakers that emit sound with the same frequency are placed along a wall and are separated by a distance of 8.0

zloy xaker [14]

Answer: $278\ Hz$

Explanation:

Given

Distance between two speakers is 8 m

Man is standing 12 away from the wall

When the person moves 3 parallel to the wall

the parallel distances from the speaker become 4+3, 4-3

Now, the difference of distances from the speaker is

$\Delta d=\sqrt{12^2+(4+3)^2}-\sqrt{12^2-(4-3)^2}\\\Delta d=1.85\ m$

Condition for destructive interference is

$\Delta d=(2n-1)\dfrac{\lambda }{2}=(2n-1)\dfrac{\nu }{2f}\\\\\Rightarrow f=(2n-1)\dfrac{v}{2\Delta d}$

for second destructive interference; n=2

$\Rightarrow f=(2\times 2-1)\dfrac{343}{2\times 1.85}=278.10\approx 278\ Hz$

A soft-drink bottler purchases glass bottles from a vendor. The bottles are required to have internal pressure strength of at le

maria [59]

Answer: K =24 psi

Explanation:

Given: Standard deviation =3psi

Internal pressure strength =157psi

Number of random bottle =n=64

K= 3 × square root of 64

K= 3×8=24 psi

If mean internal pressure K fall below K,

157-1.3=155.7psi

At 2%:

0.16×64 = 10.24

What electrical force dies a Uranium nucleus exert on one of its inner electrons, located at a distance of 175 picometers (= 1.7

AlekseyPX

Answer:

correct option is d) 7.0 x 10^-7 N

Explanation:

given data

distance = 175 picometers = 1.75 × $10^{-10}$ m

to find out

electrical force

solution

we know atomic no of uranium is 92

and charge on electron is = 1.6 × $10^{-19}$ C

and electrical force is express as

electrical force = $\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon _o} \frac{q1q2}{r^2}$ .............1

put here value we get

electrical force = $9*10^9 \frac{92*(1.6*10^{-19})^2}{(1.75*10^{-10})^2}$

electrical force = 6.921 × $10^{-7}$ N

so correct option is d) 7.0 x 10^-7 N
