<span> Let’s determine the initial momentum of each car.
#1 = 998 * 20 = 19,960
#2 = 1200 * 17 = 20,400
This is this is total momentum in the x direction before the collision. B is the correct answer. Since momentum is conserved in both directions, this will be total momentum is the x direction after the collision. To prove that this is true, let’s determine the magnitude and direction of the total momentum after the collision.
Since the y axis and the x axis are perpendicular to each other, use the following equation to determine the magnitude of their final momentum.
Final = √(x^2 + y^2) = √(20,400^2 + 19,960^2) = √814,561,600
This is approximately 28,541. To determine the x component, we need to determine the angle of the final momentum. Use the following equation.
Tan θ = y/x = 19,960/20,400 = 499/510
θ = tan^-1 (499/510)
The angle is approximately 43.85˚ counter clockwise from the negative x axis. To determine the x component, multiply the final momentum by the cosine of the angle.
x = √814,561,600 * cos (tan^-1 (499/510) = 20,400</span>
Answer:
Transverse
Explanation:
There are two types of waves, according to the direction of their oscillation:
- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves
- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.
Light waves corresponds to the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes all the different types of electromagnetic waves (which consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave): therefore, they are transverse waves.
Answer:
0m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity of the boat = 8m/s
Final velocity = 8m/s
Time taken = 4s
Unknown:
Acceleration of the boat = ?
Solution:
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.
It is mathematically expressed as;
A = 
A is the acceleration
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
t is the time taken
Insert the parameters and solve;
A = 
= 0m/s²
