A 328-kg car moving at 19.1 m/s in the x direction hits from behind a second car moving at 13.0 m/s in the same direction. If th

e second car has a mass of 790 kg and a speed of 15.1 m/s right after the collision, what is the velocity of the first car after this sudden collision

Answer:

14.04 m/s

Explanation:

To find the velocity of the first car after the collision, we can use the equation of conservation of momentum:

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1'v1' + m2'v2'

We have the following data:

m1 = m1' = 328,

m2 = m2' = 790,

v1 = 19.1,

v2 = 13,

v2' = 15.1.

Using this data, we can find v1' (final velocity of the first car):

328 * 19.1 + 790 * 13 = 328 * v1' + 790 * 15.1

16534.8 = 328 * v1' + 11929

328 * v1' = 4605.8

v1' = 14.04 m/s

If the frequency of a wave is 400hz and it’s wave length is2.5 what is the velocity ?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
To begin with, we can use the formula that links frequency, wavelength and velocity.

Because you already have the wavelength and the frequency, you just need to solve for velocity. You can do this by multiplying each side of the equation by frequency.

Therefore, 400 x 2.5 = 1000m/s.

Hope this helps :)

Zeros are always considered significant digits when they are to the left of the decimal point
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Zeros to the left of a decimal can be insignificant place holders, such as in 0.043 (two significant figures).

They can be significant if they are between two digits who themselves are significant, such as in 101.000 (three significant figures).

In the case of a number like 1,000 we can see there is only one significant figure. The zero digits are not between sigfigs.

The focal length ____________ when the refractive index of the lens is increased and __________ when the curvature radius of the
Ivenika [448]
The focal length would likely decrease as the refractive index and the increase when the curvature radius of the lens increases. The decrease in focal length happens since a higher index of refraction would signify that the rays of the sun striking to an object would tend to bend more.

Are there any steps of the rock cycle that do not connect directly to one another
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The three main rock types are igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.

The three processes that change one rock to another are crystallization, metamorphism, and erosion and sedimentation.

Any rock can transform into any other rock by passing through one or more of these processes. This creates the rock cycle.
