In an elastic collision, a 400-kg bumper car collides directly from behind with a second, identical bumper car that is traveling

in the same direction. The initial speed of the leading bumper car is 3.5 m/s and that of the trailing car is 6.4 m/s. Hint Assuming that the mass of the drivers is much, much less than that of the bumper cars, what are their final speeds

Answer:

v₁ = 3.5 m/s

v₂ = 6.4 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

m₁ = mass of trailing car = 400 kg

m₂ = mass of leading car = 400 kg

u₁ = initial speed of trailing car = 6.4 m/s

u₂ = initial speed of leading car = 3.5 m/s

v₁ = final speed of trailing car = ?

v₂ = final speed of leading car = ?

The final speed of the leading car is given by the following formula:

v_2=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_1-\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\\v_2=\frac{(2)(400\ kg)}{400\ kg+400\ kg}(6.4\ m/s)-\frac{400\ kg-400\ kg}{400\ kg + 400\ kg}(3.5\ m/s)

<u>v₂ = 6.4 m/s</u>

The final speed of the leading car is given by the following formula:

v_1=\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_1+\frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\\v_1=\frac{400\ kg-400\ kg}{400\ kg + 400\ kg}(6.4\ m/s)+\frac{(2)(400\ kg)}{400\ kg+400\ kg}(3.5\ m/s)

<u>v₁ = 3.5 m/s</u>

A. Blue light has higher energy than red light. Write 3 - 4 sentences comparing these electromagnetic waves with respect to the
frosja888 [35]

PART A)

As we know that energy of light depends on its wavelength and frequency as following formula

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} = h\nu

now we know that wavelength of blue light is less than the red light so here energy of blue light will be more

also we know that

\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda}

so here if wavelength is smaller for blue light so its frequency will be high and the speed of both light will be same in same medium

PART B)

Since we know that frequency of blue light is more than red light as well as wavelength of blue light is less than the wavelength of blue light so here blue light will have more energy

When blue light and red light strike the metal surface then due to more energy of blue light it will release some loosely bonded electrons from metal surface which will contribute in current.

here if we increase the intensity of light then the number of photons that contain the blue light of certain energy will be more and that will contribute more current

So here quantification help as we know that due to quantization only certain frequency or energy will lead to eject electron so all colours will not give this current
