car 1 is traveling south at 18 m/s and has a full load, giving it a total mass of 14,650 kg. Car 2 is traveling north at 11 m/s

and has a mass of 3,825 kg. After the collision, car 1 has a final velocity of 6 m/s south. What is the velocity of car 2

Answer:

v_{4}= 80.92[m/s] (Heading south)

Explanation:

In order to calculate this problem, we must use the linear moment conservation principle, which tells us that the linear moment is conserved before and after the collision. In this way, we can propose an equation for the solution of the unknown.

ΣPbefore = ΣPafter

where:

P = linear momentum [kg*m/s]

Let's take the southward movement as negative and the northward movement as positive.

-(m_{1}*v_{1})+(m_{2}*v_{2})=-(m_{1}*v_{3})+(m_{2}*v_{4})

where:

m₁ = mass of car 1 = 14650 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of car 1 = 18 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of car 2 = 3825 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of car 2 = 11 [m/s]

v₃ = velocity of car 1 after the collison = 6 [m/s]

v₄ = velocity of car 2 after the collision [m/s]

-(14650*18)+(3825*11)=(14650*6)-(3825*v_{4})\\v_{4}=80.92[m/s]

Buhrs atomic model differed from ruthofords because it explained that
Scrat [10]

Buhrs atomic model differed from ruthofords because it explained that electrons exist in specified energy levels surrounding the nucleus. This means that, Ruthoford believed that electrons can't do very much. However, Buhrs' model showed that electrons are much more powerful than anyone else believes they can be.

A wire is carrying current vertically downward. What is the direction of the force due to Earth's magnetic field on the wire?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The direction of the force will be towards the east

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The direction of the  downward

Generally according to Fleming's right-hand rule(

          Thumb -  direction of force

           Middle finger -  direction of current

           Index finger -  direction of the magnetic field

) and the fact that the earth magnetic field acts  from south to north with respect to the four cardinal points then the direction of the  force will be toward the east with respect to the four cardinal point on the earth

Due to the wave nature of light, light shined on a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern? Green light (520 nm) is shine
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Yes, it will produce a diffraction pattern.

a. 3.9 mm b. 1.95 mm

Explanation:

The light shined from a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern because,  the wavefront act as wavelets which generates its own wave according to Huygens principle. This therefore causes the diffraction pattern.

Given

wavelength of green light, λ = 520 nm = 520 × 10⁻⁹ m = 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ m

width of slit, d = 0.440 mm = 0.44 × 10⁻³ m = 4.4 × 10⁻⁴ m

Distance of slit from central maximum , D = 1.65 m

Distance of first minimum from central maximum, y = ?

a. The relationship between the slit width and wavelength is given by [tex} dsinθ = mλ [/tex]where d = slit width, θ = angular distance from central maximum, λ = wavelength of light and m = ±1, ±2, ±3...

The relationship between y and D is given by tanθ = y/D

Since θ is small, sinθ ≈ θ ≈ tanθ

so, dθ = mλ ⇒ θ = mλ/d = y/D

Therefore, y = mλD/d

Now, for the first minimum above the slit, m = +1 and for the first minimum below the slit, m = -1. So, y₁ =  λD/d and y₋₁ =  -λD/d. So, the width of the central maximum Δy is the difference between the first minima below and above the central maximum. So, Δy = y₁ - y₋₁ = λD/d -(-λD/d) = 2λD/d

Substituting the values from above, Δy= 2 × 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ × 1.65/4.4 × 10⁻⁴ =  3900 × 10⁻⁶ m = 3.9 × 10⁻³ m = 3.9 mm

b. The first order fringe is the fringe located between the first minimum and the second minimum. From dsinθ = mλ and tanθ = y/D when θ is small, sinθ ≈ θ ≈ tanθ. So, y = mλD/d. Let m= 1 and m=2 be the first and second minima respectively. So,y₁ =  λD/d and y₂ =  2λD/d. The difference Δy₁ = y₂ - y₁ is the width of the first order fringe. Therefore, Δy₁ = 2λD/d - λD/d= λD/d. Substituting the values from above, we have

λD/d= 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ × 1.65/4.4 × 10⁻⁴= 1.95 × 10⁻³ m = 1.95 mm
