At an amusement park there are 200-kg bumper cars A, B, and C that have riders with masses of 55 kg, 90 kg, and 42.5 kg respecti

vely. Car A is moving to the right with a velocity vA = 2 m/s and car C has a velocity vC = 1.5 m/s to the left, but car B is initially at rest. The coefficient of restitution between each car is 0.8. Determine the final velocity of each car, after all impacts, assuming car A hits car B before car C does. Assume positive sign denoting forward motion and negative sign denoting backward motion.

Answer:

Vb = 0.334 m/s

Va = -1.265 m/s

Vc = 1.424 m/s

Explanation:

Favorite Answer

Initial momentum = 255(2) – 242.5(1.5) = 146.25

Final momentum = 255Va + 290Vb + 242.5 Vc = 146.25

Vb - Va = 0.8(2) = 1.6

Vc - Vb = 0.8(1.5) = 1.2

Va = Vb -1.6

Vc = Vb + 1.2

255(Vb -1.6) + 290Vb + 242.5(Vb + 1.2) = 146.25

255 Vb – 408 + 290 Vb + 242.5 Vb + 291 = 146.25

787.5 Vb = 263.25

Vb = 0.334 m/s

Va = Vb -1.6 = 0.334 – 1.6 = -1.265 m/s

Vc = Vb + 1.2 = 0.224 + 1.2 = 1.424 m/s

g You shine orange laser light that has a wavelength of 600 nm through a narrow slit. The slit forms a diffraction pattern on a
zimovet [89]

Answer:

 λ = 3 10⁻⁷ m,   UV laser

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon is described by the expression

         a sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry

         tan θ = y / L

as in this phenomenon the angles are small

        tan θ = \frac{sin \ \theta}{cos \ \theta} = sin θ

        sin θ = y / L

we substitute

      a y / L = m  λ

let's apply this equation to the initial data

       a  0.04 / L = 1 600 10⁻⁹

       a / L = 1.5 10⁻⁵

now they tell us that we change the laser and we have y = 0.04 m for m = 2

      a 0.04 / L = 2  λ

       a / L = 50  λ

we solve the two expression is

         1.5 10⁻⁵ = 50  λ

          λ = 1.5 10⁻⁵ / 50

          λ = 3 10⁻⁷ m

Which of these atoms is the most electronegative? select one: a. si b. cl c. p d. f e. c
katrin [286]

The atom that is the most electronegative is fluorine (F).

<h3>What is electronegative?</h3>

Electronegativity, is the tendency for an atom of a given chemical element to attract shared electrons when forming a chemical bond.

Electronegativity increases across the groups from left to right of the periodic table and decreases down the group.

Examples of electronegative elements arranged in decreasing order;

  • fluorine,
  • oxygen,
  • nitrogen,
  • chlorine,
  • bromine,
  • iodine,
  • sulfur,
  • carbon, and
  • hydrogen.

Thus,  the atom that is the most electronegative is fluorine (F).

The kinetic energy of a 1000-kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 20.0 m/s.
eimsori [14]
E=(mV^2)/2
m=1000kg, V=20m/s
then, E=(1000kg*(20m/s)^2)/2
E=(1000*400)/2 J = 200000J

The spectra of most stars are dark-line spectra because ________.
pav-90 [236]
Because dark line spectra result from passing white light through ionized gasses and plasmas, which is what the atmosphere of stars are made of.  These frequencies are scattered by the star's atmosphere as it leaves the surface (photosphere) of the star, and don't make it to earth.
