Answer:

The time the pilots have to take evasive action is approximately 36.699 seconds

Explanation:

The direction of the planes = Towards each other

The speed of each plane, v₁, v₂ = 721 km/h

The initial distance between the two planes, d = 14.7 km

The relative velocity of the two planes, v = v₁ + v₂

v = 721 km/h + 721 km/h = 1,442 km/h

The time it will take the planes to meet, t = d/v

∴ t = 14.7 km/(1,442 km/h) = (21/2,060) h × 60 min/hr × 60 s/min ≈ 36.699 s

The time it will take the planes to meet = The time the pilots have to take evasive action, t ≈ 36.699 seconds.

Answer:

D.None of these

Explanation:

The derivation of acceleration formula:

Let us call the 5kg mass m_2 and the 4kg mass m_1. If the tension in the string is T then for the mass m_2

(1). T-m_2g=-m_2a <em>(the negative sign on the right side indicates that acceleration is downwards)</em>

And for the mass m_1

(2). T-m_1g =m_1a<em> (the acceleration is upwards, hence the positive sign)</em>

Solving for T in the 2nd equation we get:

T =m_1a+m_1g,

and putting this into the 1st equation we get:

m_1a+m_1g-m_2g=-m_2a\\\\m_1a+m_2a = m_2g-m_1g\\\\a(m_1+m_2)= (m_2-m_1)g

\boxed{a= \dfrac{(m_2-m_1)}{(m_1+m_2)} g}

Back to the question:

Using the formula for the acceleration we find

a= \dfrac{(5kg-4kg)}{(5kg+4kg)} g

a = \dfrac{g}{9},

which is the acceleration that none of the given choices offer. Also, the acceleration of the two blocks is the same, because if it weren't, the difference in the instantaneous velocities of the objects would cause the string to break. Therefore, these two reasons make us decide that none of the choices are correct.

Car A has a mass of 1,200 kg and is traveling at a rate of 22 km/hr. It collides with car B. Car B has a mass of 1,900 kg and is
anastassius [24]

The car A has a mass of 1200 kg.

The car B has the mass of 1900 kg.

It is given that velocity of car  A is given as 22 Km/hr

The car B has the velocity of 25 Km/hr.

Let the mass of two bodies are denoted as  m_{1} \ and\ m_{2}

Let the velocity of cars A and B are denoted as v_{1} \ and\ v_{2}

The momentum before collision is-

                                                  p_{i} =m_{1} v_{1} +m_{2} v_{2}

[Here p stand for momentum.]

We are asked to calculate the final momentum of the system after collision.

The answer of the question is based law of conservation of  linear momentum.

As per law of conservation of linear momentum the sum total linear momentum for an isolated system is always constant.Hence irrespective of the type of collision[elastic and inelastic],the momentum of the system is always constant which is a universal truth.

Let after the collision the velocity of A and B are v'_{1} \ and\ v'_{2}

Hence the final momentum of the system is-

                                                        p_{f} = m_{1} v'_{1} +m_{2} v'_{2}

As per the law of conservation of linear momentum, the initial and final momentum must be equal i.e      

                              p_{i} =p_{f}

                               m_{1} v_{1} +m_{2}v_{2} =m_{1} v'_{1} +m_{2} v'_{2}

Hence the option A  is right.

"Two long parallel wires 24.0 cm apart carry currents of 3.0 A and 8.0 A in the same direction. How far from the wire carrying 3
avanturin [10]

Answer:

6.5454 m

Explanation:

Let the distance from the wire carrying 3 A current is x

Then the distance from the the carrying current 8 A is 24-x

We know that magnetic field due to long wire is given by B=\frac{\mu _0i}{2\pi r}

It is given that magnetic field is zero at some distance so

\frac{\mu _0i_1}{2\pi x}=\frac{\mu _0i_2}{2\pi (24-x)}

Here i_1=3\ A \ and\  i_2=8\ A

So \frac{3}{x}=\frac{8}{24-x}=6.5454\ m
