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}

A 0.50 kg object is attached to a spring with force constant 157 N/m so that the object is allowed to move on a horizontal frict
Genrish500 [490]

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of an object is 0.5 kg

Force constant of the spring is 157 N/m

The object is released from rest when the spring is compressed 0.19 m.

(A) The force acting on the object is given by :

F = kx

F=157\times 0.19\\\\F=29.83\ N

(B) The force is simply given by :

F = ma

a is acceleration at that instant

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{29.83}{0.5}\\\\a=59.66\ m/s^2

A very delicate sample is placed 0.150 cm from the objective lens of a microscope. The focal length of the objective is 0.140 cm
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

m = 14*26 = 364

Explanation:

overall magnification is given as m

m = m_{o}* m_{e}

mo magnification of objective lens

me magnification of EYE lens

where mo is given as

m_{o} = \frac{v_{o}}{-u _{0}}

and me as

m_{e} = 1+\frac{D}{f_{e}}

d is distant of distinct vision = 25.0 cm for normal eye

fe =  focal length of eye piece

focal length of objective lense is 0.140 cm

we know that

\frac{1}{v_{0}}-\frac{1}{u_{0}}=\frac{1}{f_{0}}

\frac{1}{v_{0}} = \frac{1}{u_{0}} + \frac{1}{f_{0}}

\frac{1}{v_{0}} = \frac{1}{0.150} + \frac{1}{0.14}

\frac{1}{v_{o}} = 2.1 cm

m_{o} = \frac{2.1}{0.150} = 14

m_{e} = 1+\frac{25}{1}

m_{e} =26

m = m_{o}* m_{e}

m = 14*26 = 364
