Hi there!

We can use the conservation of momentum for an INELASTIC collision:

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = v_f(m_1 + m_2)

Let:

m1 = mass of van (5000 kg)

m2 = mass of car (? kg)

v1 = initial velocity of van (10 m/s)

v2 = initial velocity of car (0 m/s)

vf = final velocity of BOTH objects (6 m/s)

We can rearrange and plug in values to solve for m2:

m_1v_1 + m_2(0) = v_f(m_1 + m_2)\\\\m_1v_1 = v_f(m_1 + m_2)\\\\(5000)(10) = 6(5000 + m_2)

Solve:

50000 = 30000 + 6m_2\\\\20000 = 6m_2\\\\m_2 = 20000/6 = \boxed{3333.33 kg}

5. How much heat is generated when an
Mila [183]

Answer:

I HOPE THIS IS CORRECT

Explanation:

Power of water =2 kw=2000w

Mass of water =200kg

difference in temperature ΔT=70−10=60oC

Concept

energy required to heat the water = energy given by water in time t=pt

energy required to increase tempeature of water by 60oC,Q=msΔT

S= specific heat =4200J/kgoC

              pt=msΔT

   2000×t=200×4200×60

      t=25200  

or   t=25.2×103sec.

What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

1. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not.

2. The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals.

3. Mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency. Electromagnetic Waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles.

4. While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance.

a 1210 kg roller coaster car is moving 6.33 m/s. as it approaches the station, brakes slow it down to 2.38 m/s over a distance o
Stels [109]

Answer:

4960 N

Explanation:

First, find the acceleration.

Given:

v₀ = 6.33 m/s

v = 2.38 m/s

Δx = 4.20 m

Find: a

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(2.38 m/s)² = (6.33 m/s)² + 2a (4.20 m)

a = -4.10 m/s²

Next, find the force.

F = ma

F = (1210 kg) (-4.10 m/s²)

F = -4960 N

The magnitude of the force is 4960 N.

In the writing of ionic chemical formulas, what factor is "crossed over" in the crossover rule?
Aleks04 [339]

In the writing of ionic chemical formulas the value of each ion's charge is crossed over in the crossover rule.

Rules for naming Ionic compounds

  • Frist Rule
    The cation (element with a negative charge) is written first in the name then the anion(element with a positive charge) is written second in the name.
  • Second rule
    When the formula unit contains two or more of the same polyatomic ion, that ion is written in parentheses with the subscript written outside the parentheses.
    Example: Sodium carbonate is written as Na₂CO₃ not Na₂(CO)₃
  • Third rule
    If the cation is a metal ion with a fixed charge then the name of the cation will remain the same as the (neutral) element from which it is derived (Example: Na+ will be sodium).
    If the cation is a metal ion with a variable charge, the charge on the cation is indicated using a Roman numeral, in parentheses, immediately following the name of the cation (example: Fe³⁺ = iron(III)).
  • Fourth rule
    If the anion is a monatomic ion, the anion is named by adding the suffix <em>-ide</em> to the root of the element name (example: F = Fluoride).

The oxidation state of each ion is also important, thus in the crossover rule, the value of each ion's charge is crossed over.
