Answer:

The final velocity of the cars is 8.38 m/s at an angle 39.1° south of west.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first car = 1100 kg

Velocity of first car = 8.5 m/s

Mass of second car = 650 kg

Velocity of second car = 17.5 m/s

Suppose we need to find the final velocity of the cars and direction of the cars.

We need to calculate the velocity of the car in west direction

Using conservation of momentum in west direction

m_{f}v_{f}+m_{s}v_{s}= (m_{f}+m_{s})v_{x}

v_{x}=\dfrac{m_{f}v_{f}+m_{s}v_{s}}{(m_{f}+m_{s})}

Put the value into the formula

v_{x}=\dfrac{1100\times0+650\times17.5}{1100+650}

v_{x}=6.5\ m/s

We need to calculate the velocity of the car in south direction

Using conservation of momentum in south direction

m_{f}v_{f}+m_{s}v_{s}= (m_{f}+m_{s})v_{y}

v_{y}=\dfrac{m_{f}v_{f}+m_{s}v_{s}}{(m_{f}+m_{s})}

Put the value into the formula

v_{y}=\dfrac{1100\times8.5+650\times0}{1100+650}

v_{y}=5.3\ m/s

We need to calculate the final velocity of the cars

Using formula of velocity

v_{eq}=\sqrt{(6.5)^2+(5.3)^2}

v_{eq}=8.38\ m/s

We need to calculate the direction

Using formula of direction

\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{y}}{v_{x}}

Put the value into the formula

\tan\theta=\dfrac{5.3}{6.5}

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{5.3}{6.5})

\theta=39.1^{\circ}

Hence, The final velocity of the cars is 8.38 m/s at an angle 39.1° south of west.

What is the role of magnetism in the study of x-ray imaging?
Helga [31]
The high voltage generators which are used in X-Ray imaging system are magnetic devices. There are various magnetic X-rays imaging techniques.

X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiations. X-ray imaging creates picture of the inside of your body. Polarized x-rays have emerged as unique probed due to their specific interaction with magnetic materials.Magnetic resonance imaging deals with static and varying magnetic fields.

008 (part 1 of 3) 10.0 points A 3.2 kg object is subjected to two forces, F~ 1 = (1.9 N) ˆı + (−1.9 N) ˆ and F~ 2 = (3.8 N) ˆı
musickatia [10]

Answer:

a' =4.15 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

m= 3.2 kg

F₁ = 1.9  i −1.9 j N

F₂=3.8 i −10.1 j N

From second law of Newton's

F(net) = m a

F₁ + F₂ = m x a

1.9  i −1.9 j + 3.8 i −10.1 j  = 3.2 a

a = 1.78 i - 3.75 j m/s²

The resultant  acceleration  a'

a'=\sqrt{1.78^2+3.75^2}\ m/s^2

a' =4.15 m/s²

Suppose you have two small pith balls that are 5.5 cm apart and have equal charges of -29 nc?
zysi [14]
The question is missing, however, I guess the problem is asking for the value of the force acting between the two balls.

The Coulomb force between the two balls is:
F= k_e \frac{ q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where k_e=8.99\cdot10^9~N m^2 C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant, q_1=q_2=29~nC=29\cdot 10^{-9}~C is the intensity of the two charges, and r=5.5~cm=0.055~m is the distance between them.

Substituting these numbers into the equation, we get
F=2.5~10^{-3}~N

The force is repulsive, because the charges have same sign and so they repel each other.
