Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a car, m₁ = 1332 kg

The speed of the car, u₁ = 25 m/s (right)

The mass of a truck, m₂ = 3000 kg

The speed of the truck, u₂ = -15 m/s

The total momentum after the crash is given by :

p=m₁u₁ + m₂u₂

Put all the values,

P = 1332(25) + 3000(-15)

= −11700 kg-m/s

So, the total momentum after the crash is equal to 11700 kg-m/s and it is in the left direction.

A leaky faucet drips once each second. at this rate, it takes 1 hour to fill a 1-liter graduated cylinder to the 200-cm3 mark. w

UNO [17]

Define
v = volume of a drop per second, cm³/s

The time taken to fill 200 cm³ is 1 hour.
Let V = 200 cm³, the filled volume.
Let t = 1 h = 3600 s, the time required to fill the volume.

Therefore,
$\frac{200 \, cm^{3}}{v \, cm^{3}/s} = 3600 \, s \\ v = \frac{200}{3600} =0.0556 \, cm^{3}$

The average volume of a single drop is approximately 0.0556 cm³.

Answer: 0.0556 cm³

Basalt, formed from magma, contains iron-rich minerals. Why is this important?

Svetach [21]

Iron is a magnetic metal, and it is essential to the Earth's magnetic field!
Essentially it "records" (stores the information, maintains) the direction and orientation of the magnetic field.

Among others, the magnetic field protects the Earth from dangerous cosmic rays.
