two test cars of equal mass moving towards each other collide on a horiontal frictionless surface. Before the collision, car A h

as a constant speed 20m/s while car B has a constant speed of 12m/s. After the collision, the two bodies are stuck together. What is the speed of the composite body (A+B) after the collision?

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = m2 = m

u1 = 20 m/s, u2 = - 12 m/s

Let the speed of composite body is v after the collision.

Use the conservation of momentum

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = (m1 + m2) x v

m x 20 - m x 12 = (m + m) x v

20 - 12 = 2 v

8 = 2 v

v = 4 m/s

Thus, the speed of teh composite body is 4 m/s.

An insect 5.00 mm tall is placed 20.0 cm to the left of a thin planoconvex lens. The left surface of this lens is flat, the righ
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

a) i = -9.63 cm ,    h ’= .0.24075 cm   erect

b)  i = 259.74 cm ,

Explanation:

For this exercise let's start by finding the focal length of the lens

               1 / f = (n-1) (1 / R₁ - 1 / R₂)

                1 / f = (1.70 -1)) 1 / ∞ - 1/13)

                1 / f = 0.0538

                 f = - 18.57 cm

Now we can use the constructor equation

             1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

             1 / i = 1 / f - 1 / o

              1 / i = -1 / 18.57 -1/20

               1 / i = -0.1038 cm

               I = -9.63 cm

For the height of the

image let's use magnification

                 m = h '/ h = - i / o

                  h ’= -h i / o

                  h ’= - 0.5 (-9.63) / 20

                  h ’= .0.24075 cm

b) we invert the lens

The focal length is

             1 / f = (1.70 -1) (1/13 - 1 / int)

              1 / f = 0.0538

             f = 18.57 cm

             1 / i = 1 / f -1 / o

             1 / I = 1 / 18.57 - 1/20

             1 / I = 3.85 10-3

             i = 259.74 cm

     

            h ’= - 0.5 259.74 / 20

             h ’= 6.4935 cm

Colors seen on the cover of our physics book result from color is due to Subtraction.

What is physics of color subtraction?

  • Some visible spectrum wavelengths are intentionally removed during the subtraction procedure.
  • For instance, the yellow filter transmits the green and red colors while blocking the blue.
  • Red and blue are transmitted while the green is blocked by the magenta filter.
  • Blue and green are transmitted while red is blocked by the cyan filter.
  • Subtractive mixing gets its name from the fact that when colors are mixed, wavelengths are removed from what we see because each paint absorbs some of the wavelengths that the other paint reflects, leaving us with less wavelengths afterward.

A ball is dropped from rest. how fast is the ball going after 3 seconds​
Airida [17]

Answer:

v = 29.4m/s

Explanation:

Since the ball is dropped at rest,

u = 0m/s

a = 9.81m/s²

Using

v = u + at

After 3 seconds,

v = 0 + (9.81)(3)

v = 29.4m/s
