A 1250-kg compact car is moving with velocity v1 =36.2i^+12.7j^m/s. It skids on a frictionless icy patch and collides with a 448

-kg hay wagon moving with velocity v2=13.8i^+10.2j^m/s.
If the two stay together, what is their velocity?
Express your answer in meters per second in terms of i^ and j^. Use the 'unit vector' button to denote unit vectors in your answer.

Momentum is conserved, so the sum of the separate momenta of the car and wagon is equal to the momentum of the combined system:

(1250 kg) ((36.2 <em>i</em> + 12.7 <em>j </em>) m/s) + (448 kg) ((13.8 <em>i</em> + 10.2 <em>j</em> ) m/s) = ((1250 + 448) kg) <em>v</em>

where <em>v</em> is the velocity of the system. Solve for <em>v</em> :

<em>v</em> = ((1250 kg) ((36.2 <em>i</em> + 12.7 <em>j </em>) m/s) + (448 kg) ((13.8 <em>i</em> + 10.2 <em>j</em> ) m/s)) / (1698 kg)

<em>v</em> ≈ (30.3 <em>i</em> + 12.0 <em>j</em> ) m/s

Which kind of pigment reflects two primary light colors and absorbs one?1) primary pigment2) secondary pigment3) complementary p
weqwewe [10]

The primary colors of light are red, blue and green.

There are the pigments like yellow, magenta and cyan that are the mixture of two primary colors.

For example, magenta is a mixture of red and blue color. Thus, it reflects the red and blue color. Also, magneta absorbs the green color.

These type of colors that reflects two primary colors and absorb one color are known as secondary pigments.

Hence, 2nd option is the correct answer.
