Answer: 90 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of racecar $M=1.2\times10^3\ kg$

velocity of racecar $u=8\ m/s$

mass of still honeybadger $m=80\ kg$

after collision race car is traveling at a speed of $v_1=2\ m/s$

conserving linear momentum

$Mu+m\times0=Mv_1+ mv_2\quad[v_2=\text{velocity of honeybadger after colllision}]$

$1.2\times10^3\times8+0=1.2\times10^3\times2+80\times v_2$

$1.2\times10^3(8-2)=80v_2\\v_2=\frac{7.2\times10^3}{80}=90\ m/s$

g An astronaut must journey to a distant planet, which is 189 light-years from Earth. What speed will be necessary if the astron

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The value is $v = 2.999 *10^{8} \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The time taken to travel to the planet from earth is $t = 189 \ light-years$

The time to be spent on the ship is $t_{s} = 12 \ years$

Generally speed can be obtained using the mathematical relation represented below

$t_s = 2 * t * \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } }$

The 2 in the equation show that the trip is a round trip i.e going and coming back

=> $12 = 2 * 189 * \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{(3.0*10^{8})^2 } }$

=> $v = 2.999 *10^{8} \ m/s$

To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a _____ scale or _____ scale.

allsm [11]

To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a Richter scale or Mercalli scale. Richter scale uses the amplitued of the wave and the distance from the source. Mercalli scale uses observations of people and is not considered to be scientific as Richter scale.

A vector → A has a magnitude of 56.0 m and points in a direction 30.0° below the negative x axis. A second vector, → B , has a m

MissTica

Answer:

The magnitude of the vector $\vec{C}$ is 107.76 m

Explanation:

To find the components of the vectors we can use:

$\vec{A} = | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )$

where $| \vec{A} |$ is the magnitude of the vector, and θ is the angle over the positive x axis.

The negative x axis is displaced 180 ° over the positive x axis, so, we can take:

$\vec{A} = 56.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 180 \° + 30 \°) \ , \ sin (180 \° + 30 \°) \ )$

$\vec{A} = 56.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 210 \°) \ , \ sin (210 \°) \ )$

$\vec{A} = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ , \ - 28 \ m \ )$

$\vec{B} = 82.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 180 \° - 49 \°) \ , \ sin (180 \° - 49 \°) \ )$

$\vec{B} = 82.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 131 \°) \ , \ sin (131 \°) \ )$

$\vec{B} = ( \ -53.797 \ m \ , \ 61.886\ m \ )$

Now, we can perform vector addition. Taking two vectors, the vector addition is performed:

$(a_x,a_y) + (b_x,b_y) = (a_x+b_x,a_y+b_y)$

So, for our vectors:

$\vec{C} = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ , \ - 28 \ m \ ) + ( \ -53.797 \ m \ , ) = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ -53.797 \ m , \ - 28 \ m \ + \ 61.886\ m \ )$

$\vec{C} = ( \ - 102.294 \ m , \ 33.886 m \ )$

To find the magnitude of this vector, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem

$|\vec{C}| = \sqrt{C_x^2 + C_y^2}$

$|\vec{C}| = \sqrt{(- 102.294 \ m)^2 + (\ 33.886 m \)^2}$

$|\vec{C}| =107.76 m$

And this is the magnitude we are looking for.
