Mrs. Fatima has a a small sports car that she uses to drop her kids off from school that has a mass of 5000 kg. Mr. Zaid drives

a truck with a mass of 4200 kg. If the two vehicles are travelling down the road, side by side, at a speed of 75 km/hr, which one will have the most momentum? Explain *

$\textbf{Use equation of momentum}$

$p=mv$

$\text{momentum\ =\ mass x velocity}$

$\textbf{Substitute in the values}$

$5000 \times 75 = 375,000 \text{\ kg\ km/hr}$

$4200 \times 75 = 315,000 \text{\ kg\ km/hr}$

$\textbf{The\ small\ sports\ car\ will\ have\ the\ most\ momentum.}$

In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is a photon found that possesses twice as much energy as one in the blue region (

iren2701 [21]

<span>The answer is: ultraviolet The energy (E) of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency f, by Planck's formula: E = hf, where h is Planck's constant (6.625 * 10**-34 joule-second). The frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength w by: f = c/w, where c is the speed of light, 3.0 * 10**8 meters per second. Combine these formulas and we see that the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength by: E = hc/w If the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength, a photon with twice the energy has half the wavelength of our 442-nm. photon in this example. So its wavelength is 221 nm. which is in the ultraviolet range.</span>

A monkey running through the jungle goes 0.198 km straight to the East, then turns 15.8° deflection from straight East toward th

Answer:

$|\vec r|=339.82\ m$

$\theta=-6.67^o$

Explanation:

<u>Displacement </u>

It's a vector magnitude that measures the space traveled by a particle between an initial and a final position. The total displacement can be obtained by adding the vectors of each individual displacement. In the case of two displacements:

$\vec r=\vec r_1+\vec r_2$

Given a vector as its polar coordinates (r,\theta), the corresponding rectangular coordinates are computed with

$x=rcos\theta$

$y=rsin\theta$

And the vector is expressed as

$\vec z==$

The monkey first makes a displacement given by (0.198 km,0°). The angle is 0 because it goes to the East, the zero-reference for angles. Thus the first displacement is

$\vec r_1==\ km=\ m$
