A 1300 kg car moving at 20 m/s and a 900 kg car moving at 15 m/s in precisely oppositedirections participate in a head-on crash.

If we consider this event to be a perfectlyinelastic collision, what is the speed and direction of the cars after the impact?a

Given

Car 1

m1 = 1300 kg

v1 = 20 m/s

m2 = 900 kg

v2 = -15 m/s

(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)

Procedure

As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,

\begin{gathered} m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \\ v=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2} \\ v=\frac{1300\operatorname{kg}\cdot20m/s-900\operatorname{kg}\cdot15m/s}{1300\operatorname{kg}+900\operatorname{kg}} \\ v=5.681m/s \end{gathered}

Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.

A mover loads a crate onto a truck bed 1.6m from the street using a ramp that is 4.6m long. What is a mechanical advantage?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 2.875

Explanation:

Given:

A diagram is shown below for the above scenario.

Length of ramp (Effort arm) = 4.6 m

Height of truck bed ( Resistance length) = 1.6 m

Mechanical advantage (MA) is the ratio of effort arm and resistance length.

So, mechanical advantage is given as,

MA=\frac{\textrm{Effort arm}}{\textrm{Resistance length}}= \frac{4.6}{1.6}=2.875

Glycerin at a temperature of 30 degrees celcius flows at a rate of 8×10−6m3/sthrougha horizontal tube with a 30mmdiameter. what
marusya05 [52]

The pressure drop in pascal is 3.824*10^4 Pascals.

To find the answer, we need to know about the Poiseuille's formula.

<h3>How to find the pressure drop in pascal?</h3>
  • We have the Poiseuille's formula,

                     Q=\frac{\pi r^4P}{8\beta l}

  • where, Q is the rate of flow, P is the pressure drop, r is the radius of the pipe, is the coefficient of viscosity (0.95Pas-s for Glycerin) and l being the length of the tube.
  • By substituting values and rearranging we will get the pressure drop as,

                  P=3.284Pascals

Thus, we can conclude that, the pressure drop in pascal is 3.824*10^4.

A string of mass 60.0 g and length 2.0 m is fixed at both ends and with 500 N in tension. a. If a wave is sent along this string
Darya [45]

Answer:

a

The  speed of  wave is   v_1  = 129.1 \ m/s

b

The new speed of the two waves is v =  129.1 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the string is  m  =  60 \ g  =  60 *10^{-3} \ kg

    The length is  l  =  2.0 \ m

    The tension is  T  = 500 \ N

Now the velocity of the first wave is mathematically represented as

     v_1  = \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu} }

Where  \mu is the linear density which is mathematically represented as

      \mu  =  \frac{m}{l}

substituting values    

     \mu  =  \frac{ 60 *10^{-3}}{2.0 }

     \mu  =  0.03\ kg/m

So

   v_1  = \sqrt{ \frac{500}{0.03} }

   v_1  = 129.1 \ m/s

Now given that the Tension, mass and length are constant the velocity of the second wave will same as that of first wave (reference PHYS 1100 )
