Please please please help two cars are traveling down a road. the first car is traveling north at 55 mi/h, and the second is a few hundred yards south, traveling at 45 mi/h what is their relative velocity?

The momentum of an isolated system is conserved a) only in inelastic collisions. b) only in elastic collisions. c) in both elastic and inelastic collisions

Ten students stand in a circle and are told to make a transverse wave. what best describes the motion of the students? each student bumps the shoulder of his or her neighbor. at the exact time, all students take a step to the right. the students skip clockwise, going in a circular motion. one at a time, each student lifts his or her hands up and then down.

Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. set up the ripple tank as in previous investigations. 2. bend the rubber tube to form a "concave mirror" and place in the ripple tank. the water level must be below the top of the hose. 3. generate a few straight pulses with the dowel and observe the reflected waves. do the waves focus (come together) upon reflection? can you locate the place where the waves meet? 4. touch the water surface where the waves converged. what happens to the reflected wave? 5. move your finger twice that distance from the hose (2f = c of c, center of the curvature) and touch the water again. does the image (the reflected wave) appear in the same location (c of c)? you may have to experiment before you find the exact location. sometimes it is hard to visualize with the ripple tank because the waves move so quickly. likewise, it is impossible to "see" light waves because they have such small wavelengths and move at the speed of light. however, both are examples of transverse waves and behave in the same way when a parallel wave fronts hit a curved surface.
