Hey there!

Seems like you're looking for the size and direction to the final velocity of the two cars. To find it, you must solve it like this.

0.4 kg(3 m/s) + 0.8kg(–2 m/s) = 1.2 kg m/s -1.6 kg m/s = –0.4 kg m/s

–0.4 kg m/s = 1.2 kg(v) = (–0.4 kg m/s)/(1.2 kg) = v = –0.33 m/s


So, the cars are traveling at -0.33 m/s in the direction of the second car.


Hope this helps

39 g aluminum spoon (specific heat 0.904 J/g·°C) at 24°C is placed in 166 mL (166 g) of coffee at 83°C and the temperature of th
tatuchka [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The final temperature of the solution is 80.14^oC

<u>Explanation:</u>

The amount of heat released by coffee will be absorbed by aluminium spoon.

Thus, \text{heat}_{absorbed}=\text{heat}_{released}

To calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed, we use the equation:  

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

Also,

m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]    ..........(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

m_1 = mass of aluminium = 39 g

m_2 = mass of coffee = 166 g

T_{final} = final temperature = ?

T_1 = temperature of aluminium = 24^oC

T_2 = temperature of coffee = 83^oC

c_1 = specific heat of aluminium = 0.904J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of coffee= 4.1801J/g^oC

Putting all the values in equation 1, we get:

39\times 0.904\times (T_{final}-24)=-[166\times 4.1801\times (T_{final}-83)]

T_{final}=80.14^oC

Hence, the final temperature of the solution is 80.14^oC

A scientist suspends a spring from a force sensor. She then pulls on the spring causing the spring to stretch 1.0 cm. She record
Nadusha1986 [10]
This situation describes the Hooke's Law which states that "When an elastic object - such as a spring - is stretched, the increased length is called its extension. The extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied to it". The formula is <span>F = k × e , F for the force, k for spring constant expressed in N/m, e for extension in m. This equation works for as long the spring is not stretch too much because once it exceeded its limit, the spring will not return to its original length the moment the load is removed.</span>
