5 0

Explanation:

Given:

m1 = 0.55 kg

m2 = 0.45 kg

vi1 = +5.8 m/a

vi2 = -3.9 m/a

Solve for V

m1vi1 + m2vi2 = (m1 + m2)V

(0.55 kg)(+5.8 m/s) + (0.45 kg)(-3.9 m/s) = (0.55 + 0.45)V

V = +1.46 m/a

This means that the combined mass after the collision is moving to the right at 1.46 m/s

How long( in hours, will it take for 500 000 C of charge to flow through a diode if it requires
Alina [70]

Answer:

277.78 hours

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the amount of charge is expressed as;

Q = It

I is the current

t is the time

Given

I =0.05A

Q = 50,000C

Required

Time t

Recall that: Q = It

t = Q/I

t = 50,000/0.05

t = 1,000,000secs

Convert to hours

1,000,000secs  = 1,000,000/3600

1,000,000secs = 277.78 hours

Hence it will take 277.78 hours for the charge to flow through the diode

A cart is pulled by a force of 250 N at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. The cart accelerates at 1.4 m/s2. The free-body di
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Mass of the cart = 146 kg

Explanation:

A cart is pulled by a force of 250 N at an angle of 35° above the horizontal.

The cart accelerates at 1.4 m/s² horizontally.

Horizontal force = Fcosθ = 250 cos35° = 204.79N

We have F = ma

Substituting

        204.79 = m x 1.4  

              m = 146.28 kg = 146 kg

Mass of the cart = 146 kg

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

It can be said to be reliable although it is not valid

Explanation:

This is because Reliability means an indicator of consistency, A measure should produce similar or the same results consistently if it measures the same quantity. So does the thermometer measures over 5days but it is not valid because it deviates from the real value
