By conservation of momentum,

(900 kg) (15.0 m/s) i + (750 kg) (20.0 m/s) j = (900 kg + 750 kg) v

where v is the velocity vector of the combined cars. Solve for v :

(13,500 i + 15,000 j) kg•m/s = (1650 kg) v

v ≈ (8.18 i + 9.09 j) m/s

Then the direction of v relative to East is θ such that

tan(θ) ≈ 9.09/8.18   ⇒   θ ≈ 48.0°

so the wreckages would move at approximately 48.0° north of east.

How do you solve this kind of problem?
katen-ka-za [31]
First, we want to solve for b.

In order to solve for b, we plug in x=6 and f(x)=7 into the equation, since we know f(6)=7

7 = (3/2)(6) + b

7 = 9 + b

Subtract both sides by 9

b = -2

Now, let's insert this value into the equation

f(x) = (3/2)x - 2

Now, plug in x = -2 into the equation to calculate f(-2)

f(-2) = (3/2)(-2) - 2

= -3 -2

= -5

Thus, your answer is A.

Have an awesome day! :)

Christopher has at most \$18.50$18.50dollar sign, 18, point, 50 to spend at a convenience store. He buys one bag of bananas for
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Amount to spend = $18.50

Purchased banana =$1.50

Apple Juice =$1.55

Gasoline $2.35

$1.50 + $1.55 = $3.05

18.50 - 3.05 = 15.45

1 Gallon of Gasoline = 2.35

Therefore,

2.35 x 6 = 14.1

15.35 - 14.1 = 1.25

To avoid exceeding budget, he can only buy

6 gallons of gasoline

What happens if you don't pay your insurance premium for your car?\
kondaur [170]
Well, technically, you don't need insurance to drive a car. However, it is very important, and highly recommended. If you're vehicle happens to be stolen, or destroyed in any way, you have to pay for the issue out-of-pocket. That would really hurt bad financially, so without paying insurance, you're at a large risk.
