A car of mass 1000 kg is moving at 25 m/s. It collides with a car of mass 1200 kg moving at 30 m/s. When the cars collide, they stick together. What is the total momentum of the system after the collision? What is the total momentum of the system before the collision? What is the velocity of the cars after the collision?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The total momentum of the cars before the collision is 61,000 kg.m/s

The total momentum of the cars after the collision is 61,000 kg.m/s

The velocity of the cars after the collision is 27.727 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first car, m₁ = 1000 kg

initial velocity of the car, u₁ = 25 m/s

mass of the second car, m₂ = 1200 kg

initial velocity of the second car, u₂ = 30 m/s

The common velocity of the cars after collision = v

The total momentum of the cars before collision is calculated as;

P₁ = m₁u₁  +  m₂u₂

P₁ = (1000 x 25)  +  (1200 x 30)

P₁ = 61,000 kg.m/s

The total momentum of the cars after collision is calculated as;

P₂ = m₁v + m₂v

where;

v    is the common velocities of the cars after collision since they stick together.

P₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

To determine "v" apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision.

m₁u₁  +  m₂u₂  = v(m₁  + m₂)

(1000 x 25)  +  (1200 x 30) = v(1000 + 1200)

61,000 = 2,200v

v = 61,000/2,200

v = 27.727 m/s

The total momentum after collsion = v(m₁ + m₂)

                                                         = 27.727(1000 + 1200)

                                                          = 61,000 kg.m/s

Thus, momentum before and after collsion are equal.

a man is standing near the edge of a cliff 85 meters high. he throws a stone upward vertically with an intial velocity of 10 m/s. the stone clears the cliff edge on the way down and falls all the way to the ground. what is the maximum height of the stone above the ground

Answers

Answer:

h = 90.10 m

Explanation:

Given that,

A man is standing near the edge of a cliff 85 meters high, h₀ = 85 m

The initial speed of the stone, u = 10 m/s

The path followed by the projectile is given by :

[tex]h(t)=-4.9t^2+10t+85[/tex] ....(1)

For maximum height,

Put dh/dt = 0

So,

[tex]\dfrac{dh}{dt}=-9.8t+10=0\\\\t=\dfrac{10}{9.8}\\\\=1.02\ s[/tex]

Put the value of t in equation (1).

[tex]h(t)=-4.9(1.02)^2+10(1.02)+85\\\\=90.10\ m[/tex]

So, the maximum height of the stone is equal to 90.10 m.

a. The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration is greater for points on the spoke closer to the hub than for points closer to the rim
b. both the magnitude and the direction of the centripetal acceleration depend on the location of the point on the spoke.
c. The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration is smaller for points on the spoke closer to the hub than for points closer to the rim but the direction of the acceleration is the same at all points on this spoke.
d. The magnitude and direction of the centripetal acceleration is the same at all points on this spoke.

Answers

Answer:

Option (a).

Explanation:

Let the angular velocity is w.

The centripetal acceleration is given by

[tex]a = r w^2[/tex]

where, r is the distance between the axle and the spoke.

So, more is the distance more is the centripetal acceleration.

(a) For the points on the spoke closer to the hub than for points closer to the rim is larger distance, so the centripetal force is more.

The statement is true.  

(b) The direction of centripetal acceleration is always towards the center, so the statement is false.

(c) It is false.

(d) It is false.

Option (a) is correct.

A charge Q is transferred from an initially uncharged plastic ball to an identical ball 24 cm away.The force of attraction is then 17 mN. How many electrons were transferred from one ball to the other?

Answers

Answer:

The number of electrons transferred from one ball to the other is 2.06 x 10¹² electrons

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of the attractive force, F = 17 mN = 0.017 N

distance between the two objects, r = 24 cm = 0.24 m

The attractive force is given by Coulomb's law;

[tex]F = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0} \times \frac{Q^2}{r^2} = \frac{kQ^2}{r^2} \\\\Q^2 = \frac{Fr^2}{k} \\\\Q = \sqrt{ \frac{Fr^2}{k}} \\\\Q = \sqrt{ \frac{(0.017)(0.24)^2}{9\times 10^9}} \\\\Q = 3.298 \times 10^{-7} \ C[/tex]

The charge of 1 electron = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

n(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C) = 3.298 x 10⁻⁷

[tex]n = \frac{3.298 \times 10^{-7}}{1.602 \times 10^{-19}} = 2.06 \times 10^{12} \ electrons[/tex]

Therefore, the number of electrons transferred from one ball to the other is 2.06 x 10¹² electrons

A light-emitting diode (LED) connected to a 3.0 V power supply emits 440 nm blue light. The current in the LED is 11 mA , and the LED is 51 % efficient at converting electric power input into light power output. How many photons per second does the LED emit?

Answers

Answer:

3.73 * 10^16   photons/sec

Explanation:

power supply = 3.0 V

Emits 440 nm blue light

current in LED = 11 mA

efficiency of LED = 51%

Calculate the number of photons per second the LED will emit

first step : calculate the energy of the Photon

E = hc / λ

   =(  6.62 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8 )  / 440 * 10^-9

   = 0.0451 * 10^-17  J

Next :

Number of Photon =( power supply * efficiency * current ) / energy of photon

= ( 3 * 0.51 * 11 * 10^-3 ) / 0.0451 * 10^-17

= 3.73 * 10^16 photons/sec

Required:
How much thermal energy is added to the air by the drag force?

Answers

Answer:

by the drag force, 2.4004512 × 10⁻⁵ J is added to the air.

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

drag coefficient of Cd = 1.4

speed v = 6.0 m/s

One model expands to a square 1.8 mm on a side

Area A = 1.8 × 1.8 = 3.24 mm² = 3.24 × 10⁻⁶ m²

distance travelled s = 240 mm = 0.24 m

we know that; density of air e = 1.225 kg/m³

Now,

Dragging force F[tex]_D[/tex] = ( Cd × e × v² × A  ) / 2

thermal energy = F[tex]_D[/tex] × s

so

thermal energy = ( 1.4 × 1.225  × (6)² × (3.24 × 10⁻⁶) × 0.24  ) / 2

thermal energy = ( 4.8009024 × 10⁻⁵ ) / 2

thermal energy = 2.4004512 × 10⁻⁵ J

Therefore,  by the drag force, 2.4004512 × 10⁻⁵ J is added to the air.

A motorist travels due North at 90 km/h for 2 hours. She changes direction and travels West at 60 km/for 1 hour.
a) Calculate the average speed of the motorist [4]
b) Calculate the average velocity of the motorist.

Answers

Answer:

a. 50km/hr.

b. 10km/hr

Explanation:

Average speed, which is calculated by dividing the total distance travelled by the time interval as follows:

Average speed = total distance travelled ÷ time

Average velocity is calculated by dividing the total displacement by the time interval as follows:

Average velocity = change in displacement (∆x) ÷ time (t)

According to this question, a motorist travels due North at 90 km/h for 2 hours. She then changes direction and travels West at 60 km/for 1 hour.

Total distance of this journey is 90 + 60 = 150

Total time taken = 1 + 2 = 3hours

Average speed = 150/3

= 50km/hr.

b.) Average velocity = x2 - x1/t

Average velocity = 90 - 60/3

= 30/3

= 10km/hr

the magnitude of the electrical force acting between a +2.4x10-8c charge and 1+1.8x10-6 charge that are separated by 1.008m is

Answers

Answer:

3.83×10¯⁴ N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Charge 1 (q₁) = +2.4x10¯⁸ C

Charge 2 (q₂) = +1.8x10¯⁶ C

Distance apart (r) = 1.008 m

Electrical constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Force (F) =?

The magnitude of the electrical force acting between the two charges can be obtained as follow:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = 9×10⁹ × 2.4x10¯⁸ × 1.8x10¯⁶ / (1.008)²

F = 0.0003888 / 1.016064

F = 3.83×10¯⁴ N

Thus the magnitude of the electrical force acting between the two charges is 3.83×10¯⁴ N

The fish aims its stream at an angle of 39° from the waterline.

Required:
Determine the height above the waterline that the stream reaches at the horizontal position of the insect.

Answers

Answer:

The fish gobbles the mosquito at height 18 cm.

Explanation:

Initial velocity, u = 3.7 m/s

horizontal distance, d = 28 cm

Angle, A = 39 degree

Let the time is t.

Horizontal distance = horizontal velocity x time

d =  u cos A x t

0.28 = 3.7 cos 39 x t

t = 0.097 s

Let the height is h.

Use the second equation of motion

[tex]h =u t-0.5 gt^2\\\\h= u sin A t - 0.5 gt^2\\\\h= 3.7 sin 39 \times 0.097 - 0.5\times 9.8\times 0.097\times0.097\\\\h =0.226 -0.046 \\\\h=0.18 m=18 cm[/tex]

A circus performer stretches a tightrope between two towers. He strikes one end of the rope and sends a wave along it toward the other tower. He notes that it takes 0.9 s for the wave to travel the 26 m to the opposite tower. If one meter of the rope has a mass of 0.28 kg, find the tension in the tightrope.

Answers

Answer:

the tension in the tightrope is 233.68 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Time taken to reach the opposite tower t = 0.9 s

Distance between the two towers S = 26 m

mass per one meter length =  0.28 kg

First we calculate the velocity;

Velocity V = Distance / time

we substitute

Velocity V = 26 m / 0.9 s

Velocity V = 28.889 m/s

We know that Velocity V can also be expressed as;

V = √( T / m )

we make T the subject of formula

V² = T / m

T = mV²

we substitute

T = 0.28 × ( 28.889 )²

T = 233.68 N

Therefore,  the tension in the tightrope is 233.68 N

2 Lights slows down when it enters water from air.
a What happens to its speed?
b What happens to its wavelength?
c What happens to its frequency?​

Answers

Light travels as waves, with the wavefronts perpendicular to the direction of motion. In the animation shown here, the wavefronts are represented by the green parallel lines. The red arrow represents the direction of motion. As light moves from air into water, it not only slows, but the wavelength changes. wavelength becomes shorter in the denser medium of water.


Light will travel in straight line unless it meets any object (medium) in its path. Light changes its speed when it passes from one medium to other and the direction of light changes. This bending of light is called refraction.

This will happen in both when light passes through lighter to denser medium and also while comes from denser medium to lighter medium.

The speed of the light is increases when it comes from denser to less dense medium and decreases when it passes through lighter to denser. Light travels faster in vacuum compared with any other medium.

Refractive index defines the speed of light in a medium.

Refractive index (n)= v1/v2, v1 and v2 are the speed of light in vacuum and medium, respectively.

More the refractive index, slower the speed of light in that medium.

Coming to the wavelength of light, λ=v / f and here the frequency (f) of incident will not change when light passes through different medium.

Wavelength is directly proportional to the speed (v), then the wavelength increases if speed of light increases and vice versa.

The wavelength of light decreases when it goes from air to water because the speed of light decreases.

You throw a glob of putty straight up toward the ceiling, which is 3.50 m above the point where the putty leaves your hand. The initial speed of the putty as it leaves your hand is 9.10 m/s.
1. What is the speed of the putty just before it strikes the ceiling? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
2. How much time from when it leaves your hand does it take the putty to reach the ceiling? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

the putty initial speed (u) = 9.10 m/s

distance (s) between hand and the ceiling = 3.50 m

the speed of the putty prior to the time it hits the ceiling can be determined by considering the second equation of motion.

v² - u² = 2as

Since the putty is moving in a vertical motion(i.e. in an upward direction)

v² - u² = -2gs

v² = u² - 2gs

[tex]v = \sqrt{u^2 - 2gs}[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{(9.10)^2 -( 2* 9.8) (3.50 -0)}[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{82.81 -19.6 (3.50)}[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{82.81 -68.6}[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{14.21}[/tex]

v = 3.77 m/s

2.

The time it takes to reach the ceiling from the moment it leaves your hand can be calculated by using the first equation of motion:

v = u + at

In an upward direction

v = u - gt

making time t the subject;

v - u = -gt

[tex]t = \dfrac{v-u}{-g}[/tex]

[tex]t = \dfrac{3.77 - 9.10}{-9.8}[/tex]

[tex]t = \dfrac{-5.33}{-9.8}[/tex]

In a science fiction novel two enemies, Bonzo and Ender, are fighting in outer spce. From stationary positions, they push against each other. Bonzo flies off with a velocity of 1.1 m/s, while Ender recoils with a velocity of -4.3 m/s. Determine the ratio Bonzo/mEnder of the masses of these two enemies.

Answers

Answer:

the ratio Bonzo/mEnder of the masses of these two enemies is 3.91

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Velocity of Bonzo [tex]V_{Bonzo[/tex] = 1.1 m/s

Velocity of Ender [tex]V_{Ender[/tex] = -4.3 m/s

the ratio Bonzo/mEnder of the masses of these two enemies = ?

Now, using the law of conservation of momentum.

momentum of both Bonzo and Ender are conserved

so

Initial momentum = final momentum

we have

0 = [tex]m_{Bonzo[/tex] × [tex]V_{Bonzo[/tex] + [tex]m_{Ender[/tex] × [tex]V_{Ender[/tex]

[tex]m_{Bonzo[/tex] × [tex]V_{Bonzo[/tex] = -[ [tex]m_{Ender[/tex] × [tex]V_{Ender[/tex]  ]

[tex]m_{Bonzo[/tex] / [tex]m_{Ender[/tex]  = -[ [tex]V_{Ender[/tex] / [tex]V_{Bonzo[/tex] ]

we substitute

[tex]m_{Bonzo[/tex] / [tex]m_{Ender[/tex]  = -[ -4.3 m/s / 1.1 m/s ]

[tex]m_{Bonzo[/tex] / [tex]m_{Ender[/tex]  = -[ -3.9090 ]

[tex]m_{Bonzo[/tex] / [tex]m_{Ender[/tex]  = 3.91

Therefore, the ratio Bonzo/mEnder of the masses of these two enemies is 3.91

Suppose that 2 J of work is needed to stretch a spring from its natural length of 28 cm to a length of 43 cm. (a) How much work is needed to stretch the spring from 33 cm to 35 cm

Answers

Answer:

0.035 J

Explanation:

Applying,

W = ke²/2.............. Equation 1

Where W = workdone by the stretching the spring, k = spring constant, e = extension.

make k the subject of the equation

k = 2W/e²............... Equation 2

From the question

Given: W = 2 J, e = (43-28) = 15 cm = 0.15 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

k = (2×2)/(0.15²)

k = 177.78 N/m

Hence, work need to stretch the spring from 33 cm to 35 cm

therefore,

e = 35-33 = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Substitute into equation 1

W = 177.78(0.02²)/2

W = 0.035 J

If a 67.0 kg hiker eats one of these bars, how high a mountain must he climb to "work off" the calories, assuming that all the food energy goes only into increasing gravitational potential energy?
Express your answer in meters.
Part B
If, as is typical, only 20.0 % of the food calories go into mechanical energy, what would be the answer to Part A? (Note: In this and all other problems, we are assuming that 100% of the food calories that are eaten are absorbed and used by the body. This is actually not true. A person's "metabolic efficiency" is the percentage of calories eaten that are actually used; the rest are eliminated by the body. Metabolic efficiency varies considerably from person to person.)

Answer: 1 cal is 4.186 J, 1 kcal = 4186 J   A : 1014 m , B  200 m

Explanation:   A) Work done by climber is change in potential energy.

W = ΔEp = mgh = 67.0 kg· 9.81 m/s²· h = 160 kcal · 4186 J / kcal.

Solve h  =  160 kcal · 4186 J / kcal /67.0 kg· 9.81 m/s² = 1014 m

B  Energy is only 20 %  :   Then  h  =  0.20 ·160 kcal · 4186 J / kcal /67.0 kg· 9.81 m/s² = 200 m.

Actually, muscles also produce heat from most of the energy provided by food.
