In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s

stiks02 [169]

Answer: An equation is missing in your question below is the missing equation

a) ≈ 8396

b) 150 nm/k

Explanation:

<u>A) Determine the number of Oscillators in the black body</u>

number of oscillators = 8395

attached below is the detailed solution

<u>b) determine the peak wavelength of the black body </u>

Black body temperature = 20,000 K

applying Wien's law / formula

λmax = b / T  ------ ( 1 )

T = 20,000 K

b = 3 * 10^6 nm

∴  λmax = 150 nm/k

A current of 0.5 A flows in a 60 W light bulb when the voltage differences between the ends of the filament is 120 V. What is th
LuckyWell [14K]

Resistance = (voltage) / (current)

Resistance = (120 V) / (0.5 A)

<em>Resistance = 240 ohms</em>

<em></em>

Know what ?  There might be too much information given in this question.  I want to check, because it's possible that it might not even all fit together.

To calculate my answer, I only used the voltage and the current.  I didn't use the "60 watts", and I'm curious to know whether it even fits with the given voltage and current.

Power = (voltage) times (current).

Power = (120 V) times (0.5 A)

Power = 60 watts  

Well gadzooks and sure enough !  The three numbers given in the question all go together nicely.  

And not only THAT !

The answer could have been calculated by using ANY TWO of them.

Lyrx [107]

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here is the complete question:

A runner starts at point A, runs around a 1-mile track, and finishes the run back at point A. Which of the following statements is true?

A. The runner's displacement is 1 mile.

B. The runner's displacement is zero.

C. The distance the runner covered is zero.

D. The runner's speed was zero.

The answer to this question is B. The runner's displacement is zero

Explanation:

Displacement always implies a change of position; this means an object or individual moves from point A to point B, and therefore the original position is different from the final position. Additionally, in displacement, other related factors such as the total distance the body moved and the direction of movement. In the case presented, it can be concluded there was no displacement or the displacement is zero because even when the runner moved and ran two miles, he returned to the initial position, and without a change in the position, there is no displacement.
