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.

Which of the following would decrease the resistance in a wire?
padilas [110]

<u>Increase the thickness of the wire</u> would decrease the resistance in a wire

Explanation:

Thicker wires have a larger cross-section that increases the surface area with which electrons can flow unimpeded.  The thicker the wire, therefore, the lower the resistance.

Thin wires have very high resistance the reason the thin tungsten in a bulb glows because it is heated from the high resistance of many electrons trying to pass through a very small cross-section.

A room has a wall with an R value of 18 F sq.ft. hr/BTU. The room is 15 feet long and 11 feet wide with walls that are 9 ft high
seropon [69]

Answer:

The heat transferred through the wall that day is  13728 BTUs

Explanation:

Here, we have the area of the wall given as

Area of wall = 2 × Length × Height + 2 × Width × Height

Length = 15 feet

Width = 11 Feet and

Height = 9 feet

Therefore, the area = 2×15×9 + 2×11×9 = 468 ft²

Temperature difference is given by

Average outside temperature - Wall temperature = 40 - 18 = 22 °F

Therefore the heat transferred through the wall that day (24 hours) at 18 sq.ft. hr/BTU is given by;

468 × 22 × 24/18 = 13728 = 13728 BTUs.

A 7.5 cm object is 14 cm from a concave lens, which has a focal length of –7 cm. Its image is 5 cm in front of the lens. What is
Rama09 [41]
Given conditions:
height of object = 7.5cmdistance of object from mirror  = 14 cmfocus length = -7 cmimage distance =  ?
Using mirror formula: 
1/(focus length) = 1/(object distance) + 1/(image distance)
or, -1/7 = 1/14 + 1/(image distance)
or, image distance = -4.66cm (the image formed is a virtual image)


Also, magnification of image is:
image height /height of object = - image distance /object distance
or, image height = - image distance / object distance * height of object
or, image height = -(-4.66) / 14 * 7.5 = 2.49 = 3(nearest whole number)

How many diffraction maxima are contained in a region of the Fraunhofer single-slit pattern, subtending an angle of 2.12°, for a
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

We are given that

\theta=2.12^{\circ}

Slid width,a=0.110 mm=0.11\times 10^{-3} m

1mm=10^{-3} m

Wavelength,\lambda=582 nm=582\times 10^{-9} m

1nm=10^{-9} m

We have to find the number of diffraction maxima are contained in a region of the Fraunhofer single-slit pattern.

asin\theta=\frac{2N+1}{2}\lambda

Using the formula

0.11\times 10^{-3}sin(2.12)=\frac{2N+1}{2}(582\times 10^{-9})

2N+1=\frac{0.11\times 10^{-3}sin(2.12)\times 2}{582\times 10^{-9}}

2N+1=13.98

2N=13.98-1=12.98

N=\frac{12.98}{2}\approx 6

Hence, 6 diffraction maxima are contained in a region of the Fraunhofer single-slit pattern
