Answer:

I. Angle = 41.7° Northeast.

II. Vr = 7.08m/s

Explanation:

Let the two cars be denoted by A and B

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass of car A = 1232 Kg

Velocity of car A = 25.6 m/s

Mass of car B = 2028 Kg

Velocity of car B = 17.5m/s

First of all, we would solve for momentum;

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum, M1 = 1232 × 25.6

Momentum, M1 = 31539.2 Kgm/s

Momentum, M2 = 2028 × 17.5

Momentum, M2 = 35490 Kgm/s

Now, let's find the resultant momentum using the Pythagoras theorem;

R² = M1² + M2²

R² = 31539.2² + 35490²

R² = 994721136.6 + 1259540100

R² = 2254261237

Taking the square root of both sides, we have

Resultant momentum, R = 47479.06 Kgm/s

To find the direction;

Angle = tan¯¹(M1/M2)

Angle = tan¯¹(31539.2/35490)

Angle = tan¯¹(0.89)

<em>Angle = 41.7° Northeast.</em>

To find the speed;

R = (M1 + M2)Vr

47479.06 = (31539.2 + 35490)Vr

47479.06 = 67029.2Vr

Vr = 47479.06/67029.2

<em>Vr = 7.08m/s</em>

Harry is a professional astronomer. The pictures below show two types of telescopes Harry owns.
Dafna1 [17]
The best answer is
C) reflecting telescope, because it can be made large enough to gather more radiations (or light) from distant objects. 

Reflecting telescopes, unlike refracting telescopes, can be made larger and larger to collect more light, with more precision, from larger distances. Refracting telescopes generally are not used for any demanding purposes, such viewing objects in space by professional astronomers.
