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.

A stretched string has a mass per unit length of 5.40 g/cm and a tension of 17.5 N. A sinusoidal wave on this string has an ampl
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Part a)

y_m = 0.157 mm

part b)

k = 101.8 rad/m

Part c)

\omega = 579.3 rad/s

Part d)

here since wave is moving in negative direction so the sign of \omega must be positive

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of wave in string is given by

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L}}

so we have

T = 17.5 N

m/L = 5.4 g/cm = 0.54 kg/m

now we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{17.5}{0.54}}

v = 5.69 m/s

now we have

Part a)

y_m = amplitude of wave

y_m = 0.157 mm

part b)

k = \frac{\omega}{v}

here we know that

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi(92.2) = 579.3 rad/s

so we  have

k = \frac{579.3}{5.69}

k = 101.8 rad/m

Part c)

\omega = 579.3 rad/s

Part d)

here since wave is moving in negative direction so the sign of \omega must be positive

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

when the direction of the Current changes.

Explanation:

Electromagnet refers to an iron ore wrapped around with a coil of wire, in presence of electric current. As it acts like a magnet, when current is passed through it.

The north & south poles of magnetic fields produced by such magnet, change with direction of current passed through it.

20 miles per hour north is an example of ______
timofeeve [1]
B. It's an example of velocity due to the fact that it has a measurement of speed, divided by time, and has a specific direction. Acceleration doesn't have any direction on it, but has speed divided by time. C and D have a different mode of measurement despite of the fact that it still needs meters/miles/km.
