Answer:

Final momentum after a head on collision is -2kgm/s

Explanation:

         One ball moves to the right and the other moves opposite  and momentum is a vector quantity so that considering the direction

Initial momenta are        P₁=2x3=6kgm/s        P₂=4x(-2)=-8kgm/s      

Final momentum is the vector sum of P(final)= 6-8= -2 kgm/s

A small car is pushing a large truck. They are speeding up.
Gnom [1K]

The force of the truck on the car is equal to the force of the car on the truck.

<h3>What is Newton's third law of motion?</h3>
  • Newton's third law of motion states that action and reaction are equal and opposite.

Let the mass of the small car = m

Let the mass of the truck = M

The force exerted by the small car is calculated as;

F₁ = ma

The force exerted by the large truck is calculated as;

F₂ = Ma

According to Newton's third law, the magnitude of the two forces are equal but opposite in direction.

|F₁| = |F₂|

Thus, we can conclude that, the force of the truck on the car is equal to the force of the car on the truck.

A. What quantum number of the hydrogen atom comes closest to giving a 61-nm-diameter electron orbit?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

a

  n  = 23

b

  v  = 87377.95 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The diameter is d = 61\ nm =  61 *10^{-9} \ m

   

Generally the radius electron orbit  is mathematically represented as

      r = \frac{61 *10^{-9}}{2}

=>   r = 3.05*10^{-8} \  m

This radius can also be represented mathematically  as

      r =  n^2 *  a_o

Here n is the quantum number and a_o is  the Bohr radius with a value

    a_o =  0.0529 *10^{-9} \ m

So

   n  =  \sqrt{\frac{3.05*10^{-8}}{ 0.059*10^{-9}} }

=>   n  = 23

Generally the angular momentum of the electron is mathematically represented as

          L  =  m * v *  r  =  \frac{n  *  h }{2 \pi}

Here  h is the Planck constant and the value is  h  =  6.626*10^{-34} J \cdot s

          m is the mass of the electron with values m  =  9.1*10^{-31} \  kg

         So

               v  =  \frac{23   *  6.626*10^{-34} }{2\pi * 9.1 *10^{-31}  * 3.05*10^{-8} }

                v  = 87377.95 \ m/s

The motor in a refrigerator has a power output of 400 W. If the freezing compartment is at 273 K and the outside air is at 306 K
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:15,883.63 KJ

Explanation:

Given

Power=400 W

Freezing compartment temperature is 273 K(T_L)

Outside air Temperature=306 K(T_H)

Time =80 minutes

Energy Required to deliver 400 w power in 80 minutes

E=1920 KJ

and we know COP of refrigerator is given by

COP=\frac{T_L}{T_H-T_L}=\frac{Desired\ effect}{Work}

\frac{273}{306-273}=\frac{D.E.}{1920}

D.E.=8.27\times 1920=15883.63 KJ

Therefore 15,883.63 KJ is removed in 80 minutes

A scientist prepares a colloidal solution and pours it into a glass tank. She then flashes a beam of white light into one end of
irina [24]
Light is consist of different spectrum of colors called wave lengths. The colors that visible to the naked eye are known as Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. These colors are arranged from shortest to longest. The color red that appeared from the other side of the tank signifies that the wavelength that can only pass through the material is red, which is the shortest. Other wavelengths are dispersed into the molecules of the glass, hence it cannot be seen through the other side.
