Answer:
Explanation:
From the given information:
the car's momentum = momentum of the truck
∴
(a) 816 kg × v = 2650 kg × 16.0 km/h
v = (2650 kg × 16.0 km/h) / 816 kg
v = 51.96 km/hr
(b) 816 kg × v = 9080 kg × 16.0 km/h
v = (9080 kg × 16.0 km/h) / 816 kg
v = 178.04 km/hr
A boy pushes his little brother on a sled. The sled accelerates from rest to (4 m/s). If the combined mass of his brother and the sled is (40.0 kg) and (20 W) of power is developéd, how long time does boy push the sled?
16s
300s
15s
23s
The boy pushed the sled for 16 seconds.
We have a boy who pushes his little brother on a sled.
We have to determine for how long time does boy push the sled.
State Work - Energy Theorem.The Work - Energy theorem states that the work done by the sum of all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle.
According to the question -
The sled is initially at rest → initial velocity (u) = 0.
Final velocity (v) = 4 m/s
Mass of boy and sled (M) = 40 kg
Power developed (P) = 20 W = 20 Joules/sec
According to work - energy theorem -
Work done (W) = Δ E(K) = E(f) - E(i)
Therefore -
W = ([tex]\frac{1}{2} \times 40 \times 4 \times 4 - \frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 40 x 0) = 320 Joule
Now, Power is defined as the rate of doing work -
P = [tex]\frac{dW}{dt}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{W}{t}[/tex]
20 = [tex]\frac{320}{t}[/tex]
t = 16 seconds
Hence, the boy pushed the sled for 16 seconds.
