1. A 9000 kg van was stopped at a traffic light when it rear-ended with an 850 compact car moving to the east at a velocity of 5

8 0

Answer:

1.785 m/s

Explanation:

The momentum can be calculated using the expression below

M1 *V1 + M2 * V2 = (M1+M2) V3

M1= mass of van=9000 kg

M2= mass of car= 850kg

V3= velocity of entangled car

V1= Velocity of the van= 0

V2= velocity of the car= 5 m/ s

Substitute the values

(900×0) + (500×5)=( 900+500)× V3

2500=1400 V3

V3=2500/1400

V3= 1.785 m/s

Hence, velocity of the entangled cars after collision is 1.785 m/s

A mole is defined as the number of atoms in an exact mass of which isotope?
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Isotope of carbon-12.

Explanation:

The MOLE  is a unit of measurement of the amount of a pure substance which contains exactly the same number of chemical units which could be (Atoms, molecules etc.) posses atoms in exactly 12 grams of isotope of carbon-12 (i.e., 6.022\times 10^{23}).

So, The mole is the Notation  used for an amount 6.022\times 10^{23}  as same the 12 number is used for dozen for making count of Bananas and many more.

The 6.022\times 10^{23} is known as the fundamental constant names Avogadro's number (N_{A}), It is in the honor of Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro.

A(n) 19000 kg freight car is rolling along a track at 1.5 m/s. Calculate the time needed for a force of 2600 N to stop the car.
garik1379 [7]

Answer: 10.96secs

Explanation:

According to newton's second law

Force = mass × acceleration

F = ma

F = m(v-u)/t

Cross multiplying we have

Ft = m(v-u)

t = m(v-u)/F

Given F = 2600N m = 19,000kg v = 1.5m/s u = 0m/s

Substituting this values in the formula for the time we have

t = 19000(1.5-0)/2600

t = 28,500/2600

t= 10.96secs

Achilles and the tortoise are having a race. The tortoise can run 1 mile (or whatever the Hellenic equivalent of this would be)
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Surely Achilles will catch the Tortoise, in 400 seconds

Explanation:

The problem itself reduces the interval of time many times, almost reaching zero. However, if we assume the interval constant, then it is clear that in two hours Achilles already has surpassed the Tortoise (20 miles while the Tortoise only 3).

To calculate the time, we use kinematic expression for constant speed:

x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{tor}v_{tor}=1+t_{tor}\\x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{ach}v_{ach}=10t_{ach}

The moment that Achilles catch the tortoise is found by setting the same final position for both (and same time as well, since both start at the same time):

1+t=10t\\t=1/9 hour=0.11 hours

The gravitational acceleration on the moon is about one sixth the size of the gravitational on earth. According to newton's seco
alexandr402 [8]

Weight of a person on the earth is given by,

W= mg,

Where, g is the gravitational acceleration of the earth and m is the mass of the person.

Gravitational acceleration of the moon is one-sixth of the earth.

Therefore, the weight of a astronaut who goes to the moon will be one sixth of that on earth. Hence, the astronaut will weight less.
