Answer: -3.49 m/s (to the south)
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle which establishes the initial momentum
must be equal to the final momentum
, and taking into account this is aninelastic collision:
Before the collision:
(1)
After the collision:
(2)
Where:
is the mass of the car
is the velocity of the car, directed to the north
is the mass of the truck
is the velocity of the truck, directed to the south
is the final velocity of both the car and the truck
(3)
(4)
Isolating
:
(5)
(6)
Finally:
The negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity is to the south
Answer:
The Heavier Firefighter
Explanation:
Generally, more massive objects will have more intertia than less massive objects. As such it takes more force to halt a more massive object if its moving at the same speed as a smaller object. This can also be thought of in the context of Newton's second law. The more force needed to accelerate an object means the more force the object will have.
Answer:
Explained below
Explanation:
1) Liquid in glass thermometer: This type of thermometer is used primarily to measure the temperatures from inspection of changes in volume of liquid.
Thermometry substance is mercury or alcohol
2) Gas thermometer: This type is used to measure temperature as a result of changes in gas pressure or volume.
Thermometry substance is Gas.
3) Resistance thermometer: This type is used to measure temperature due to changes in electric resistance.
Thermometry substance is Resistance wire.
4) Thermocouple thermometer: This type is used to measure the temperature due to changes in electrical potential difference occurring between two metal junctions.
Thermometry substance is two wires that are dissimilar.
5) Bimetallic thermometer: This is a type of thermometer that measures temperature by converting temperature into mechanical displacement by making use of Bimetallic strip.
Thermometry substance is two metals that are dissimilar.
The exact definition of technology is: The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry.
The way I would put it is that technology isn’t just electronics, smartphones, and flying cars. Technology is information that people reveal and figure out and this is why it advances. You hear all the time the “advances in technology” and it’s a term that has grown rapidly. It helps businesses to progress, it’s taught people, it’s in some ways beneficial to people’s lives. It has many meanings and really that is technology simply put.
