A 2000-kg car moving with a speed of 20 m/s collides with and sticks to a 1500-kg car at rest at a stop sign. Show that because

momentum is conserved in the rest frame, momentum is also conserved in a reference frame moving with a speed of 10 m/s in the direction of the moving car.

Answer:

13.33m/s

Explanation:

Given data

m1= 2000kg

u1= 20m/s

m2= 1500kg

u2= 0m/s

v1= 10m/s

Required

The speed of the sticks

We know that  from the expression for the conservation of momentum

m1u1+m2u2= m1v1+m2v2

2000*20+1500*0=2000*10+1500*v2

40000=20000+1500v2

collect like terms

40000-20000= 1500v2

20000= 1500v2

v2= 20000/1500

v2= 13.33 m/s

Hence the velocity of the sticks is 13.33m/s

An object is moving with the speed of light around the Earth. How much time will it take to complete one round trip along the eq
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

0.14 seconds

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is approximately 3.0*10^8. The distance that would be covered by the object would be equivalent to the circumference of the cross-section of the earth on the equator.

Circumference = 2\pi*6400000 =4.02*10^7

Time = distance/speed = 4.2*10^7 / 3.0*10^8 =0.14s

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 3.33 times a second. A tack is stuck in the tire a
Troyanec [42]

Answer: 6.47m/s

Explanation:

The tangential speed can be defined in terms of linear speed. The linear speed is the distance traveled with respect to time taken. The tangential speed is basically, the linear speed across a circular path.

The time taken for 1 revolution is, 1/3.33 = 0.30s

velocity of the wheel = d/t

Since d is not given, we find d by using formula for the circumference of a circle. 2πr. Thus, V = 2πr/t

V = 2π * 0.309 / 0.3

V = 1.94/0.3

V = 6.47m/s

The tangential speed of the tack is 6.47m/s

A piano mover raises a 1000-n piano at a constant speed using a very light rope in a frictionless pulley system, as shown in the
Rina8888 [55]

Here As we can see the figure that the end of the rope is pulled by some force F

Now as we can see that Piano is connected by a pulley which is passing over the pulley so effectively net force on the piano upwards will be 2F as it is connected by 2 ropes by the pulley

Now for constant velocity of the piano we will say

2F - mg = ma

since velocity is constant so acceleration must be ZERO

so here we have

2F - mg = 0

as we know here that

mg = 1000 N

so we will have

2F - 1000 = 0

F = 500 N

so here force must be 500 N

A thin film of cryolite ( nc = 1.34 ) is applied to a camera lens ( ng = 1.58 ). The coating is designed to reflect wavelengths
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

=99.07nm

Explanation:

minimum thickness

2nd = (m  - 1/2)λ

d = (m - 1/2)(λ/2n)

refractive index of the thin film, n = 1.34

minimum thickness m = 1

light wavelength λ = 531nm

d = (1 - 1/2) (531 / (2)(1.34)

d = 531/5.36

  =  99.07nm
