  • m1=1500kg
  • m_2=3000kg
  • v_1=5m/s
  • v_2=7m/s

Using law of conservation of momentum

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow m_1v_1-m_2v_2=(m1+m2)v_3

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 1500(5)-3000(7)=(1500+3000)v_3

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 7500-21000=4500v_3

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow -13500=4500v_3

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow v_3=-3m/s

A rock is attached to the left end of a uniform meter stick that has the same mass as the rock. How far from the left end of the
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

M₂ = M  then L₂ = L

M₂> M  then L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

Explanation:

This is a static equilibrium exercise, to solve it we must fix a reference system at the turning point, generally in the center of the rod. By convention counterclockwise turns are considered positive

          ∑ τ = 0

           

The mass of the rock is M and placed at a distance, L the mass of the rod M₁, is considered to be placed in its center of mass, which by uniform e is in its geometric center (x = 0) and the triangular mass M₂, with a distance L₂

The triangular shape of the second object determines that its mass can be considered concentrated in its geometric center (median) that tapers with a vertical line if the triangle is equilateral, the most used shape in measurements.

         M L + M₁ 0 - m₂ L₂ = 0

         M L - m₂ L₂ = 0

         L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

From this answer we have several possibilities

* if the two masses are equal then L₂ = L

* If the masses are different, with M₂> M then L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

Every second, the Sun converts about 600 million tons of hydrogen into 596 million tons of helium. The remaining 4 million tons
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Converted to an amount of energy equal to 4 million tons times the speed of light squared. ejected into space in a solar wind.

Explanation:

The 4 million tons of mass is converted to the amount of energy that is equal to 4 million tons times the speed of light squared. This energy moves from the sun with the help of solar winds and received by the planets present in the solar system. This solar energy moves in the form of solar radiation because there is no medium for propagation so that's why we can say that the mass is converted into energy that moves in the form of radiation in discrete packets.

A car (mass = 1200 kg) is traveling at 31.1 m/s when it collides head-on with a sport utility vehicle (mass = 2830 kg) traveling
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

13.18 m/s

Explanation:

Let the velocity of sports utility car is

-u as it is moving in opposite direction.

mc = 1200 kg, uc = 31.1 m/s

ms = 2830 kg, us = - u = ?

Using conservation of momentum

mc × uc + ms × us = 0

1200 × 31.1 - 2830 × u = 0

u = 13.18 m/s

A particle is confined to the x-axis between x = 0 and x = 1 nm. The potential energy U = 0 inside this region and U is infinite
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to heisenberg uncertainty Principle

Δx Δp ≥ h / 4π , where Δx  is uncertainty in position , Δp is uncertainty in momentum .

Given

Δx = 1 nm

Δp ≥ h /1nm x  4π

≥ 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ / 10⁻⁹ x  4 π

≥  . 5254 x ⁻²⁵

h / λ ≥  . 5254 x ⁻²⁵

 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ /. 5254 x ⁻²⁵ ≥ λ  

12.56 x 10⁻⁹ ≥ λ  

longest wave length = 12.56 n m
