An automobile of mass 1500kg moving at 25.0m/s collides with a truck of the mass 4500kg at rest. The car and the truck bounce of

f each other completely elastically. Compare the force exerted by the car on the truck with that exerted by the truck on the car during the collision.

Answer: Both forces are equal each other.

Explanation:

If we assume that no external forces act during the collision (based on the fact that the collision time is very small), total momentum must be conserved, and Newton's 3rd law must apply.

If the total momentum is conserved, the change in momentum for the automobile (caused by the truck) must be equal to the one caused to the truck by the car.

This change in momentum is caused by internal forces, which must be equal each other (even though of opposite signs).

Another way to explain this, is that by Newton's 3rd Law, the force applied by the automobile to the car, must be equal and opposite to the one the truck is applying to the car at the same time.

How did astronomers precisely determine the length of an Astronomical Unit in the 1960s?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Use of telemetry and radar astronomy

Explanation:

An astronomical Unit (AU) is a unit of measuring distances in outer space, which is based on the approximate distance between the earth and the Sun.

After several years of trying to approximate the distance between the Sun and the Earth using several methods based on geometry and some other calculations, advancements in technology made available the presence of special motoring equipment, which can be placed in outer space to remotely monitor and measure the position of the sun.

The use of direct radar measurements to the sun (radar astronomy) have also made the determination of the AU more accurate.

A standard radar pulse of known speed is sent to the Sun, and the time with which it takes to return is measured,  once this is recorded, the distance between the Earth and the Sun can be calculated using

distance = speed X time.

However, most of these means have to be corrected for parallax errors

The right ventricle transports oxygenated blood to the lungs.
juin [17]

Answer: False

Explanation: The circulatory system of the body consists of the heart, blood vessels and blood. The deoxygenated blood from the body is carried to the heart.

Here, the deoxygentaed blood is converted into oxygenated by removing carbon dioxide from them and making it oxygenated.

The impure blood from the body is collected by the right ventricle and transported to the lungs for purification and then transported to the body.
