Answer:

Measure the brightness of a star through two filters and compare the ratio of red to blue light. Compare to the spectra of computer models of stellar spectra of different temperature and develop an accurate color-temperature relation.

Two remote control cars with masses of 1.16 kilograms and 1.98 kilograms travel toward each other at speeds of 8.64 meters per s

Black_prince [1.1K]

The initial momentum of the system can be expressed as,

$p_i=m_1u_1+m_{2_{}}u_2$

The final momentum of the system can be given as,

$p_f=m_1v_1+m_{2_{}}v_2$

According to conservation of momentum,

$p_i=p_f$

Plug in the known expressions,

$\begin{gathered} m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2 \\ m_2v_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1 \\ v_2=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1}{m_2} \end{gathered}$

Initially, the second mass move towards the first mass therefore the initial speed of second mass will be taken as negative and the recoil velocity of first mass is also taken as negative.

Plug in the known values,

$\begin{gathered} v_2=\frac{(1.16\text{ kg)(8.64 m/s)+(1.98 kg)(-3.34 m/s)-(1.16 kg)(-2.16 m/s)}}{1.98\text{ kg}} \\ =\frac{10.02\text{ kgm/s-}6.61\text{ kgm/s+}2.51\text{ kgm/s}}{1.98\text{ kg}} \\ =\frac{5.92\text{ kgm/s}}{1.98\text{ kg}} \\ \approx2.99\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the final velocity of second mass is 2.99 m/s.

Which best contrasts Newton's and Einstein's ideas?

Len [333]

Answer:

Newton believed that mass tells gravity how much force to exert. Einstein believed that mass tells space-time how to curve.

Explanation:

Isaac Newton believed that bodies on earth had a force of gravity pulling them down as a result of their masses.

Albert Einstein believed that the bodies were not pulled down but were moving around in a circular sphere/manner.

This confirms Newton believing that mass tells gravity how much force to exert and Einstein believing that mass tells space-time how to curve.

KengaRu [80]

Explanation:

Pressure is the same for both plungers.

P = P

F / A = F / A

F / (¼ π d²) = F / (¼ π d²)

F / d² = F / d²

5 N / (0.05 m)² = F / (1 m)²

F = 2000 N

None of the options are correct.

Determine the average normal stress developed in rod AB if the load has a mass of 55 kg . The diameter of rod AB is 8 mm.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The normal stress is 10.7[MPa]

Explanation:

The normal stress can be calculated with the following equation:

$S_{norm} =\frac{F}{A} \\where:\\F= force [Newtons]\\A=area [m^2]\\S_{norm} = Normal stress [\frac{N}{m^{2} }] or [Pa]$

The area of the rod can be calculated using the equation:

$A=\frac{\pi }{4}*d^{2} \\d=8[mm]=0.008[m]\\A=\frac{\pi }{4}*(0.008)^{2} \\A=5.02*10^{-5} [m^{2} ]$

The force is the result of the mass multiplied by the gravity.

$F=55[kg]*9.81[m/s^{2} ] = 539.6[N]\\\\S_{norm} = 539.6/5.02*10^{-5} \\S_{norm} = 10.7*10^{6}[Pa] = 10.7[MPa]$
