If an 800.0 Kg sports car slows to 8.0 m/s in the forward direction to check out an accident scene and a 1200.0 kg pick-up truck

behind them continues traveling at 15.0 m/s forward, with what velocity will the two move if they lock bumpers after a rear-end collision

Answer:

<h2><u>12.2m/s</u></h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m1=800kg

velocity v1=8m/s

mass m2= 1200kg

velocity v2=15m/s

Note: the two bodies move with the same velocity after collision, hence the common velocity is v=?

Step two:

the expression for the total momentum is

m1v1+m2v2=v(m1+m2)

substituting we have

800*8+1200*15=v(800+1200)

6400+18000=v(2000)

24400=2000v

divide both sides by 2000 to find v

v=24400/2000

v=12.2m/s

<u>Their common velocity is 12.2m/s</u>

You find an unmarked blue laser on your way to physics class. When you get to class you realize you can determine the wavelength

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

wavelength $\lambda$ = 437.27 nm

Explanation:

given data

first bright fringe = 2.96 mm

slit separation = 0.325 mm

distance D = 2.20 m

solution

we know that this is double slit experiment

so we apply here Fringe width formula that is

β = $\frac{D\lambda}{d}$ ....................1

$\lambda$ is Wavelength of light and D is Distance between screen and slit and d is slit width

so put here value and we get

$\lambda$ = $\frac{2.96*0.325*10^{-6}}{2.20}$

$\lambda$ = 437.27 × $10^{-9}$ m

wavelength $\lambda$ = 437.27 nm

A child slides down a hill on a toboggan with acceleration of 1.8 m/s2. if she starts from rest, how far has she traveled in:

Stells [14]

A child slides down a hill on a toboggan with acceleration of 1.8 m/s2. if she starts from rest, how far has she traveled in: 2 seconds

Answer:

2.4 m

Explanation:

From the question above,

Applying equation of motion,

s = ut+at²/2....................... Equation 1

Where t = time, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.

make s the subject of the equation,

Given: a = 1.8 m/s², t = 2 seconds, u = 0 m/s (from rest)

Substitute these value into equation 1

s = 0(2)+1.8(2²)/2

s = 1.2(4)/2

s = 2.4 m.

Hence she has traveled 2.4 m

When do vernal equinoxes usually occur? autumnal?

shepuryov [24]

Spring tides occur twice each lunar month all year long without regard to the season. Neap tides, which also occur twice a month, happen when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. ... The moon appears full when the Earth is between the moon and the sun

What is the freezing point of an aqueous solution that boils at 101 degrees C? Kfp = 1.86 K/m and Kbp = 0.512 K/m. Enter your an

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

-3.63 degree Celsius

Explanation:

We are given that

Boiling point of solution= $T_b=101^{\circ}$ C

Boiling point water=100 degree Celsius

$K_f=1.86K/m$

$K_b=0.512 K/m$

$\Delta T_b=T-T_0$

Where $T$ =Boiling point of solution

$T_0=$ Boiling point of pure solvent

$\Delta T_b=101-100=1^{\circ}$ C

$\Delta T_b=k_bm$

Using the formula

$1=0.512\times m$

Molality, $m=\frac{1}{0.512}$ m

$\Delta T_f=k_fm$

Using the formula

$\Delta T_f=\frac{1}{0.512}\times 1.86$

$\Delta T_f=3.63 C$

We know that

$\Delta T_f=T_0-T_1$

Where $T_0$ =Freezing point of solvent

$T_1=$ Freezing point of solution

Using the formula

$3.63=0-T_1$

Freezing point of water=0 degree Celsius

$T_1=0-3.63=-3.63 C$

Hence, the freezing point of solution=-3.63 degree Celsius
