Answer:

v₃ = 5 [m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of linear momentum, which tells us that momentum is equal to the product of mass by Velocity.

P = m*v

where:

P = linear momentum [kg*m/s]

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

We must also clarify that the momentum is preserved i.e. it is equal before the collision and after the collision

Pbeforecollision = Paftercollision

(m₁*v₁) + (m₂*v₂) = (m₁*v₃) + (m₂*v₄)

where:

m₁ = mass of the truck = 3000 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the truck = 10 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of the car = 1000 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of the car before the collision = 0 (the car is parked)

v₃ = velocity of the truck after the collision [m/s]

v₄ = velocity of the car after the collision = 15 [m/s]

(3000*10) + (1000*0) = (3000*v₃) + (1000*15)

30000 = 3000*v₃ + 15000

3000*v₃ = 30000 - 15000

3000*v₃ = 15000

v₃ = 5 [m/s]

A car travels from 20-meters to 60-meters in 10 seconds. Calculate the car's speed.
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

8 m/s

Explanation:

All you have to do here is add 20 and 60 (giving you 80) and dividing by 10 seconds. 80/10= 8 m/s

Two pulses move in opposite directions on a string and are identical in shape except that one has positive displacements of the
Leni [432]

(c) When the two pulses completely overlap on the string forms a straight line.

A single disturbance that travels via a transmission medium is referred to as a pulse. This medium might be formed of stuff or a vacuum, and it might be endlessly large or finite in size.

Consider two pulses that are identical in shape and proceed in opposite directions along a string, with the exception that one has positive displacements of the string's elements while the other has negative displacements.

On the string, the two pulses blend together completely.

The pulses completely balance one another out in terms of removing string elements from equilibrium, yet the string still moves. Shortly after the string is once again shifted, the pulses will have passed each other.

The correct option is (c)

The Balmer series in hydrogen atom produces only infrared emission. O True O False
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

As we know that, the Balmer series gives the n values as,

n_{i}=2.

[tex]n_{f}=3,4,5,.....\infty.

Now the value of wavelength can be calculated as,

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R(\frac{1}{n_{i} }-\frac{1}{n_{f} } )z^{2}.

Here, R=109677 cm^{-1}.

And n_{f}=3.

Now,

\frac{1}{\lambda}=109677 cm^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}).

Therefore,

\lambda=\frac{6}{109677} cm\\\lambda=547\times 10^{-9} m\\ \lambda=547 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of Balmer series lies in visible region which is 547 nm.

A tourist drops (from rest) a ping pong ball from the top of the tower, which has a height of 324 meters. Assuming no air resist
Elanso [62]

Answer:

8.13secs

Explanation:

From the question weal are given

Height H =324m

Required

time it takes to drop t

Using the equation of motion

H = ut + 1/2gt²

Substitute the given values

324 = 0(t)+1/2(9.8)t²

324 = 1/2(9.8)t²

324 = 4.9t²

t² =324/4.9

t² = 66.12

t = √66.12

t = 8.13secs

Hence the time taken to drop is 8.13secs

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

C) Burmese pythons lack natural predators and can utilize a wide variety of food sources in the Everglades.

Explanation:

Due to it being an invasive specie (naturally found in South Asia), and also one of the five largest species of snakes in the world, the Burmese pythons lack natural predators in this new territories.

The Burmese viper is also an opportunistic hunter and would eat anything it can overpower, it easily made a wide range of food varieties in these swamps.
