Answer:

The car would speed off twice as fast as the speed of the heavy truck provided the the collision is an elastic collision where there's no or little friction occurring within the scenario

The car would speed off twice as fast as the speed of the heavy truck provided the the collision is an elastic collision where there's no or little friction occurring within the scenario. Newton's law proves that an object with a greater mass can move objects of lesser mass at greater distances and speed.

A 71-kg swimmer dives horizontally off a 500-kg raft. If the diver's speed immediately after leaving the raft is 6m/s, what is t
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Momentum is used to measure the quantity of motion in an object. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Momentum = mass * velocity

The principle of conservation of momentum states that momentum cannot be created or destroyed but  can be transferred. Therefore the momentum before and after an action is equal.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Let m be the mass of the diver, M be the mass of the raft, u be the initial velocity of the diver, U be the initial velocity of the raft, v be the final velocity of the diver and V be the final velocity of the raft.

m = 71 kg, M = 500 kg, v = 6 m/s

Initial both the raft and diver are at rest, hence u and U is zero, hence:

mu + MU = mv + MV

71(0) + 500(0) = 71(6) + 500(V)

0 = 426 + 500(V)

500(V) = -426

V = -426/500

V = -0.852 m/s

Please hurry Describe why electric currents can be dangerous
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Cardiac Arrest, burns, and nerve damage.

Explanation:

Basically, the main risk is cardiac arrest, caused by the electric current interfering with the normal operation of the heart muscle. Other possible damages are burns due to the electric energy vaporizing the water inside the cells, and nerve damage caused by excessive current through the nerves.

A position vector with magnitude 10 m points to the right and up. its x-component is 6.0 m. part a what is the value of its y-co
lidiya [134]

The position vector can be transcribed as:

A<span> = 6 i + y j                           </span>

i <span>points in the x-direction and j points in the y-direction.</span>

The magnitude of the vector is its dot product with itself:

<span>|A|2 = A·A</span>

<span>102  = (6 i + y j)•(6 i+ y j)            Note that i•j = 0, and  i•i  = j•j = 1 </span>

<span>100  = 36 + y2       </span>

<span>64    = y2</span>

<span>get the square root of 64 = 8</span>

<span>The vertical component of the vector is 8 cm.</span>

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter is about 2.5 times the acceleration due to gravity on Earth’s surface.
Ann [662]

Answer: The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Weight = Mass × Acceleration

Let the mass of the space probe be m

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth = g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W

W=m\times g

Acceleration due to gravity on the Jupiter = g' = 2.5g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W'

W'=mg'=m\times 2.5g

\frac{W'}{W}=\frac{m\times 2.5g}{m\times g}

W'=2.5\times W

The weight of the space probe on the Jupiter will be 2.5 times the weight of the space probe on earth.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

A scientist heats flexible container full of neon gas .what will most likely happen to the container as the gas absorbs heat
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
As the container starts to heat up, so will the neon gas. Heat is nothing but energy, and when you add energy to a gas, it will start vibrating much faster and hit the edges of the container at a higher rate and a faster velocity. Therefore, it's possible to deduce that the container will most likely rupture and/or "explode".
