The final velocity is 1 m/s west

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the principle of conservation of momentum: in an isolated system, the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision. So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v

where:

m_1 = 2000 kg is the mass of the first car

u_1 = 5 m/s is the initial velocity of the first car (we take east as positive direction)

m_2 = 6000 kg is the mass of the second car

u_2 = -3 m/s is the initial velocity of the second car

v is the final velocity of the two cars together after the collision

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find:

v = \frac{m_1 u_1+m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(2000)(5)+(6000)(-3)}{2000+6000}=-1 m/s

And since the sign is negative, the direction is to west.

andrezito [222]
I can't give an exact number if the original velocity of ds-1 is not given. In that case, the final answer should just be in terms of an equation. Let's denote the original velocity to be v₀ and the days to be d.

Part a.)
v = v₀ + 9.23d
3440 = v₀ + 9.23d
9.23d = 3,440 - v₀
d = (3,440 - v₀)/9.23

Part b.)

The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time. So, that would be 9.23 m/s per day. Since there are 86,400 s in a day:

a = 9.23 m/s / day * 1 day/ 86,400 s
a = 0.0001068 m/s²

If a soundproof door is almost shut but still leaves a small opening, what wave phenomenon is responsible for someone being able
lana66690 [7]

The phenomenon which is responsible for this effect is called diffraction.

Diffraction is the ability of a wave to propagate when it meets an obstacle or a slit. When the wave encounters the obstacle or the slit, it 'bends' around it and it continues propagate beyond it. A classical example of this phenomenon is when a sound wave propagates through a wall where there is a small aperture (as in the example of this problem)
