In an isolated system, bicycle 1 and bicycle 2, each with a mass of 15 kg, collide. bicycle 1 was moving to the right at 1 m/s,

while bicycle 2 was moving to the left at 3 m/s. what is the magnitude of their combined momentum before the crash?

To do this, all you need to do is get the momentum of each and get the sum. The formula of momentum is:

p=mv

where:
p = momentum
m = mass
v = velocity

Bicycle 1 and 2 have the same mass of 15 kg

Bicycle 1 v = 1 m/s
Bicycle 2 v = 3 m/s but because it was coming from the opposite direction then we get a negative velocity. The negative just indicates the direction so it will be -3m/s

m1v1+m2v2

=(15kg)(1m/s) + (15kg)(-3m/s) 
= 15kg.m/s + (-45kg.m/s)
=-30kg.m/s

Their combined momentum before the crash is 30kg.m/s. We take out the negative sign because the question is asking only for the magnitude and not the direction and remember the negative sign indicates the direction.

At which points would the river be traveling the slowest?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

This would be traveling at the lower reaches.

Explanation:

A river would be traveling the fastest at the upper reaches and it becomes slower at the middle reaches and the slowest at the lower reaches. A place where water flows fast in a river is where the width is narrow and the bottom is steep. (This is just examples incase you would like to keep notes).

The equation for the speed of an electromagnetic wave is
igomit [66]

Answer:

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

Explanation:

The speed of the electromagnetic wave in free space is given in terms of the permeability and the permittivity of free space by

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

where the permeability of free space (μ₀) is a physical constant used often in electromagnetism and ε₀ is the permittivity of free space (a physical constant).

Darya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s.

Given:

distance 'd' = 5 m

L = 12 m

It can be concluded that path difference must be equal to half of the wavelength when person is observing destructive interference'y' at 1 m distance from the equidistant position

Since

λ/2 = yd/L

λ/2 = (1 x 5)/12

λ = 0.833m

Frequency of the sound is given by,

f = v / λ => 343 / 0.833

f=411.6 Hz
