Velocity, because there is a specific direction. Velocity and acceleration are both vector quantities which means they require direction. Speed on the other hand, only requires distance and time.

Deffo Velocity!! Velocity is a vector meaning has a direction and the direction is NORTH

A railroad freight car, mass 15,000 kg, is allowed to coast along a level track at a speed of 2.0 m/s. It collides and couples w

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of car 1, m₁ = 15,000 kg

Mass of car 2, m₂ = 50,000 kg

Speed of car 1, u₁ = 2 m/s

Initial speed of car 2, u₂ = 0

Let V is the speed of the two cars after coupling. It is the case of inelastic collision. Applying the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V$

$V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}$

$V=\dfrac{15000\ kg\times 2\ m/s+0}{(15000\ kg+50000\ kg)}$

V = 0.46 m/s

So, the speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Star a has an absolute magnitude of 8. what is its apparent magnitude at a distance of 100 pc

tresset_1 [31]

From the definition of apparent magnitude, we know that:
$m_{1} - m_{2} = -2.5Log( \frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}} )$
where:
m = apparent magnitude
F = corresponding flux

We also know that the flux is given by the formula:
$F = \frac{L}{4 \pi d^{2} }$
where:
L = luminosity
d = distance

Therefore:
$\frac{F_{1} }{F_{2}} = (\frac{L_{1} }{4 \pi d_{1}^{2} })(\frac{4 \pi d_{2}^{2} }{L_{2} }) \\ = \frac{L_{1}d_{2}^{2}}{L_{2}d_{1}^{2}}$

Now, let's apply these formulae to the same star (therefore, same luminosity), using apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude (which is defined as the apparent magnitude the star would have if it were at a distance of 10pc):
$m - M = 2.5 Log ( \frac{d}{10pc})^{2}$

Now, let's solve for m:
$m = M + 2.5 Log ( \frac{d}{10})^{2}$
= <span> $8 + 2.5 Log ( \frac{100}{10})^{2}$ </span>
= 13

Hence, the apparent magnitude of the star would be m = +13

Which of the following states that all matter tends to "warp" space in its vicinity and that objects react to this warping by ch

Kruka [31]

Einstein's theory of General Relativity states that space-time is able to be warped in the presence of mass or energy. This warping is what "tells" matter how to move in its presence. In the paraphrased words of physicist John Wheeler, matter tells space-time how to warp, and warped space-time tells matter how to move.

A uniform plank of length 6.1 m and mass 33 kg rests horizontally on a scaffold, with 1.6 m of the plank hanging over one end of

salantis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

consider the principle of moment

when a system is in equilibrium, the clockwise moment (torque) about the pivot is equal to the counterclockwise moment ( torque). Since the plank is uniform the weight of the plank act at the middle which = 6.1 m / 2 = 3.05 m

the distance that can support the weight of the man = d

mass of the man = 70

70 × d = 33 × ( 3.05 - 1.6)

d = 47.85 / 60 = 0.798 m, if the man work beyond this point he will fall.
