A 1,000 kg car is travelling at 6.5 m/s to the North. A 3,500 kg truck is travelling South at the same velocity. What is the tot

al momentum of the two vehicles (don’t forget to assign a NEGATIVE velocity to one of the vehicles, because they are travelling in opposite directions)

Answer:

16250 kgm/s due south

Explanation:

Applying,

M = mv................. Equation 1

Where M = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity.

From the car,

Given: m = 1000 kg, v = 6.5 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

M = 1000(6.5)

M = 6500 kgm/s

For the truck,

Given: m = 3500 kg, v = 6.5 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

M' = 3500(6.5)

M' = 22750 kgm/s.

Assuming South to be negative direction,

From the question,

Total momentum of the two vehicles = (6500-22750)

Total momentum of the two vehicles = -16250 kgm/s

Hence the total momentum of the two vehicles is 16250 kgm/s due south

What is the name for the change in a stars spectrum when it moves wawy from the earth
Katarina [22]
When a source of light moves away from you, you see the characteristic lines in its spectrum move toward slightly longer wavelengths.  Lines in the visible part of the spectrum move toward the red end.

When a source of light moves toward you, you see the characteristic lines in its spectrum move to slightly shorter wavelengths.  Lines in the visible part of the spectrum move toward the violet end.

We see these 'shifts' when we look at the spectra of stars.  "Red shift" is the change in the spectrum of a star when it's moving away from us, and "Blue shift" is the change when it's moving toward us.  These measurements are the only way we have of measuring the radial motion of stars, and their speeds toward or away from us.

The whole subject of why a spectrum shifts toward longer or shorter wavelengths was explained by the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler in 1842, and it's known as the "Doppler Shift" in honor of him and his work.

Which of the following is a part of both geocentric model and heliocentric model
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

These planets rotate around the sun in a circular path. Likewise in a heliocentric model it is believed that the sun is at the center of the universe and the planet earth along with all other planet move around it. Thus in both geocentric model and heliocentric model bodies in space move in circular orbits.

You drop a 0.375 kg ball from a height of 1.37 m. It hits the ground and bounces up again to a height of 0.67 m. How much energy
Radda [10]

2.57 joule energy lose in the bounce .

<u>Explanation</u>:

when ball is the height of 1.37 m from the ground  it has some gravitational potential energy with respect to hits the ground  

Formula for gravitational potential energy given by  

Potential Energy = mgh

Where ,

m = mass  

g = acceleration due to gravity  

h = height

Potential energy when ball hits the ground

m= 0.375 kg

h = 1.37 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

Potential Energy = 0.375\times9.8\times1.37

Potential Energy = 5.03 joule

Potential energy when ball bounces up again

h= 0.67 m

Potential Energy = 0.375\times0.67\times9.8

Potential Energy = 2.46 joule

Energy loss = 5.03 - 2.46 = 2.57 joule

2.57 joule energy lose in the bounce
