Answer:

Find the change in momentum of the upper stage, that is:

∆p = m(vf - vi)

m being the mass of the upper stage

vf being the final velocity which was given

vi being the initial which was also given

find ∆p

then use ∆p in the same equation

∆p being the answer you got above

m being the mass of the lower stage (given)

vi being the initial velocity (given)

vf being the final velocity of the lower stage which you were asked to find

Explanation:

During a collision the change in momentum (∆p) for both objects is equal regardless of their speeds or masses before or after the equation

A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 94.0 km/h to 46.0 km/h in the 17.0 s that it takes to round

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

1.41 m/s^2

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert the two speeds from km/h to m/s:

$u = 94.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h} = 26.1 m/s$

$v=46.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=12.8 m/s$

Now we find the centripetal acceleration which is given by

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

v = 12.8 m/s is the speed

r = 140 m is the radius of the curve

Substituting values, we find

$a_c=\frac{(12.8 m/s)^2}{140 m}=1.17 m/s^2$

we also have a tangential acceleration, which is given by

$a_t = \frac{v-u}{t}$

where

t = 17.0 s

Substituting values,

$a_t=\frac{12.8 m/s-26.1 m/s}{17.0 s}=-0.78 m/s^2$

The two components of the acceleration are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the resultant acceleration by using Pythagorean theorem:

$a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}=\sqrt{(1.17 m/s^2)+(-0.78 m/s^2)}=1.41 m/s^2$

The distance covered is 25.9 m.

We know that the speed of sound refers to the speed with which an sound moves in an object.

Given that;

speed of sound = 345m/s

Time taken = 0.15s

We know that;

v = 2d/t

v = speed of sound

d = distance

t = time taken

vt = 2d

d = vt/2

d = 345m/s * 0.15s/2

d = 25.9 m

A diffraction grating is illuminated simultaneously with red light of wavelength 670 nm and light of an unknown wavelength. The

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

dsin∅ = m× λ

so, dsin∅red = 3(670nm)

also, dsin∅? =5λ?

however ,if they overlap then dsin∅red = dsin∅?

3(670nm) /5 =402nm

∴λ = 402nm

What's the Coulomb's law?

Ulleksa [173]

In layman's term: like charges don't attract while opposite charges doelectrostatic forces between point A( which is charged) and point B (which is also charged) are proportional to the charge of point A and point B. there is also something else about this law that I don't quite remember.

___________________________________________________

Here is the formula:

F = k x Q1 x Q2/d^2

What the formula means:

F=force between charges

Q1 and Q2= amount of charge

d=distance between these two charges

k= Coulombs constant (proportionally constant)

I think that about covers it and hopefully this helped.
