A car moving at 60 mph slams on its brakes to stop before hitting a deer. Another identical car traveling at 60 mph slows to a s

top at a stop sign. Who experiences the greatest impulse during the stop

Happy Holidays!

Recall that:

Impulse = Change in Momentum = mass × change in velocity

Since both cars are identical and have the same initial velocity of 60 mph, them breaking to a stop means that they both experience the same change in velocity.

Thus, both of the cars' impulses are equal.

ANSWER ASAP!!!If a wave machine produces 10 waves in 2 seconds, what is the frequency of the machine in Hertz?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

5Hz

Explanation:

Frequency = No. of waves per second

10 waves are produced in 2 seconds

in one second 10/2 waves are produced

(ie) 5 waves are produced in 1 second

Therefore the frequency of wave is 5 Hz

If 190 grams of water is cooled from 42.7°C to 21.2° C how much energy was lost by the water?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Energy lost by the water is 17.1 x 10³ J .

Explanation:

Specific heat is defined as the amount of energy per unit mass needed to raise the temperature of the substance by a one degree Celsius.

Heat energy gain or loss by any substance is given by :

Q = m x C x ( T₁ - T₂ )     .....(1)

Here m is the mass of the substance, C is specific heat of the substance and T₁ and T₂ are the initial and final temperature of the substance.

According to the problem,

Mass of water, m = 190 gm

Specific heat of water, C = 4.186 J gm⁻¹ ⁰C⁻¹

Initial temperature, T₁ = 42.7⁰ C

Final temperature, T₂ = 21.2⁰ C  

Substitute these values in equation (1).

Heat energy loss by water = 190 x 4.186 x ( 21.2 - 42.7 )

                                            =  -17.1 x 10³ J

In the above value, negative sign denotes the loss in energy.

11. A vector M is 15.0 cm long and makes an angle of 20° CCW from x axis and another vector N is 8.0 cm long and makes an angle
Alja [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant vector is 22.66 cm and it has a direction of 29.33°

Explanation:

To find the resultant vector, you first calculate x and y components of the two vectors M and N. The components of the vectors are calculated by using cos and sin function.

For M vector you obtain:

M=M_x\hat{i}+M_y\hat{j}\\\\M=15.0cm\ cos(20\°)\hat{i}+15.0cm\ sin(20\°)\hat{j}\\\\M=14.09cm\ \hat{i}+5.13\ \hat{j}

For N vector:

N=N_x\hat{i}+N_y\hat{j}\\\\N=8.0cm\ cos(40\°)\hat{i}+8.0cm\ sin(40\°)\hat{j}\\\\N=6.12cm\ \hat{i}+5.142\ \hat{j}

The resultant vector is the sum of the components of M and N:

F=(M_x+N_x)\hat{i}+(M_y+N_y)\hat{j}\\\\F=(14.09+6.12)cm\ \hat{i}+(5.13+5.142)cm\ \hat{j}\\\\F=20.21cm\ \hat{i}+10.27cm\ \hat{j}

The magnitude of the resultant vector is:

|F|=\sqrt{(20.21)^2+(10.27)^2}cm=22.66cm

And the direction of the vector is:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{10.27}{20.21})=29.93\°

hence, the magnitude of the resultant vector is 22.66 cm and it has a direction of 29.33°

1. How far away must you be from a 675 kHz radio station with power 50.0 kW for there to be only one photon per second per squar
goldenfox [79]

a) 0.321 ly

b) 0.321 light years is not far in astronomical terms. Alien life would need to transmit at tremendous power in order for their radio transmissions to be detectable. Their radio signal also needs to be stronger than background noise in order to be distinguishable. Therefore it is unlikely that radio transmissions from alien life will ever be detected.
