Answer:

2.44 m/s due East

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of 1st car (m₁) = 4 Kg

Velocity of 1st car (u₁) = 3 m/s

Mass of 2nd car (m₂) = 5 Kg

Velocity of 2nd car (u₂) = 2 m/s

Final velocity (v) =?

The final velocity can be obtained as follow:

v(m₁ + m₂) = m₁u₁ + m₂u₂

v(4 + 5) = (4×3) + (5×2)

9v = 12 + 10

9v = 22

Divide both side by 9

v = 22/9

v = 2.44 m/s

Thus, the final velocity is 2.44 m/s.

Since both cars was moving due East before collision, and after collision, they stick together, then their direction will be due East.

An 800-N billboard worker stands on a 4.0-m scaffold weighing 500 N and supported by vertical ropes at each end. How far would t
Lynna [10]

Answer:

2.5 m

Explanation:

Weight of billboard worker = 800 N

Number of ropes = 2

Length of scaffold = 4 m

Weight of scaffold = 500 N

Tension in rope = 550 N

The sum of the torques will be

-800(4-x)-500\times 2+550\times 4=0\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=500\times 2-550\times 4\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=-1200\\\Rightarrow -x=\dfrac{1200}{800}-4\\\Rightarrow -x=-2.5\\\Rightarrow x=2.5\ m

The position of the person will be 2.5 m

Is a process that modifies light waves so they vibrate in a single plane
madam [21]

The process you're fishing for is "polarization", but that's a

misleading description.

Polarization doesn't do anything to change the light waves. 

It simply filters out (absorbs, as with a polarizing filter) the

light waves that aren't vibrating in the desired plane, and

allows only those that are to pass.

The intensity of a light beam is always reduced after

polarizing it, because much (most) of the original light

has been removed.

A laser light source may be thought of as an exception,

since everything coming out of the laser is polarized.

Select the correct answer.<br> Which type of energy is thermal energy a form of
elena-s [515]
Kinetic energy. thermal energy (a low form of energy ) is a form of kinetic energy as it is produced as a result of motion of particles either if they vibrate at their position or they move along longer paths. Motion produces friction or resistance which leads to excitation and thus the heat is produced. The higher the motion of the particles, the higher would be the thermal energy.
