Answer:

the mass of the truck is 2 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m₁ = 3 kg

initial velocity of the car, u₁ = 40 m/s

initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 60 m/s

let the mass of the truck = m₂

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momemtum;

m₁u₁ = m₂u₂

m₂ = (m₁u₁) / u₂

m₂ = (3 x 40) / (60)

m₂ = 2 kg

Therefore, the mass of the truck is 2 kg.

What is the centripetal acceleration of a small laboratory centrifuge in which the tip of the test tube is moving at 19.0 meters
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:3.61(10)^{3} \frac{m}{s^{2}}

The centripetal acceleration a_{c} of an object moving in a uniform circular path is given by the following equation:

a_{c}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}

Where:

V=19m/s is the velocity

r=10cm=0.1m is the radius of the circle

a_{c}=\frac{(19m/s)^{2}}{0.1m}

a_{c}=3610m/s^{2}=3.61(10)^{3}m/s^{2}

ALWAYS use significant figure rules. Remember that these rules apply to all numbers that are measurements. You travel 20.0 mph f
timurjin [86]
The actual answer is 165 miles, but using significant figure rules the answer is 200. This is because the sig fig rules are as follows ...
<span>1. Non-zero digits are always significant.
2. Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.
<span>3. A final zero or trailing zeros in the decimal portion ONLY are significant.
</span></span>
So the zeroes in a number like 20 or 23,000 are NOT significant. When you add numbers you must find the addend with the lowest amount of significant figures and round the answer to that. In this case most of the addends only have one sig fig, so you round 165 to 200 to make it only have one sig fig.

Yes, D is the correct answer. The ammeter reads 9 Amps, and that current is flowing down, away from the intersection.
The reason is simple, and I'm sure you must have learned it somewhere along the way:. The sum total of all the currents INto any point in a circuit is equal to the total of the current OUT of the same point. In other words: The sum total of the current building up at any point in a circuit is ZERO.
Why ? Current is a river of electrons. If there's more current arriving at a point or leaving it, then you need something there that can create new electrons, store them, destroy them, or eat them.
The picture shows 5+7=12A arriving at the intersection, so you need 12A leaving that point. 3A + the ammeter reading = 12A.
Got it now ?
