Two 125 kg bumper cars are moving toward each other in opposite directions. Car X is moving at 10 m/s and Car Z at −12 m/s when

nignag [31]

<h2>Given that,</h2>

Mass of two bumper cars, m₁ = m₂ = 125 kg

Initial speed of car X is, u₁ = 10 m/s

Initial speed of car Z is, u₂ = -12 m/s

Final speed of car Z, v₂ = 10 m/s

We need to find the final speed of car X after the collision. Let v₁ is its final speed. Using the conservation of momentum to find it as follows :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

v₁ is the final speed of car X.

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1=m_2v_2\\\\m_2v_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_2v_2\\\\m_1v_1=125\times 10+125\times (-12)-125\times 10\\\\v_1=\dfrac{-1500}{125}\\\\v_1=-12\ m/s$

So, car X will move with a velocity of -12 m/s.

A light beam has speed c in vacuum and speed v in a certain plastic. The index of refraction n of this plastic is

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

Explanation:

Refractive Index: It is a measure to find how fast the light travels through a medium. It is ration of the speed of light in vacuum to speed of light in the medium. Speed of light is not constant and varies depending on the density of the medium.

In vacuum the speed of light is 300000 km/s and is denoted by c. When the light beam enters any medium the speed will decrease. Here it is given that the speed in plastic is v. Thus the refractive index(n) is given as:

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

It is a dimensionless no.

Consider a situation where you are playing air hockey with a friend. The table shoots small streams of air upward to keep the pu

artcher [175]

When we hit the puck from tap the puck will move forward.

This is due to the impulse provided by us at the time of hit. Due to this impulse the puck will move forward and start moving in some direction.

As soon as puck move forward the force on it is zero as the weight of the puck is counterbalanced by the air stream force and there is no other force on it so puck will continue its motion till it will hit at some other point.

So here the motion of the puck will be uniform motion till it will collide with some other points.

So here the correct option will be given as

<em>moves with a constant speed until hitting the other end.</em>
