force of 1.0 x 106N for a period of 20.0 seconds.
a)What is the magnitude of the impulse from the engine?

b)What is the new momentum of the ferry?c)What is the new velocity of the ferry?

Answer:

(a) Impulse of the engine = 20*10^6 N.s

(b) New momentum of the ferry =  1985700 kgm/s

(c) The new velocity of the ferry = 1527.5 m/s

Explanation:

In the given problem, we have:

mass (m) = 13000 kg; velocity (v) = 11 m/s; Force (F) = 1.0*10^6 N; period (t) = 20 s.

From the Newton's law of motion, it is know that:

force*time = mass*velocity; and impulse = force*time

Thus:

(a) the magnitude of the impulse from the engine is:

Impulse = 1.0*10^6 * 20 = 20*10^6 N.s

(b) The new momentum of the ferry is equivalent to the difference between the engine momentum and the ferry momentum. Therefore, we have:

New momentum = Engine momentum - Ferry momentum

Ferry momentum = mass*velocity = 13000*11 =143000 kgm/s

Engine momentum = 1.0*10^6 * 20 = 20*10^6 N.s = 20*10^6 (kgm/s^2 *s) = 20*10^6 kgm/s

Therefore:

New momentum = 20*10^6 - 143000 =  1985700 kgm/s

(c) The new velocity of the ferry is:

v = new momentum/mass = 1985700/13000 = 1527.5 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Millersburg Ferry, m = 13000 kg

Velocity, v = 11 m/s

Applied force, F = 10⁶ N

Time period, t = 20 seconds

(a) Impulse is given by the product of force and time taken i.e.

J=F.\Delta t

J=10^6\ N\times 20\ s

J=2\times 10^7\ N-s

(b) Impulse is also given by the change in momentum i.e.

J=\Delta p=p_f-p_i

J=p_f-p_i

p_f=J+p_i

p_f=2\times 10^7\ N-s+13000\ kg\times 11\ m/s

p_f=20143000\ kg-m/s

(c) For new velocity,

v_f=\dfrac{p_f}{m}

v_f=\dfrac{20143000\ kg-m/s}{13000\ kg}

v_f=1549.46\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

A head-on, elastic collision between two particles with equal initial speed v leaves the more massive particle (mass m1) at rest
ZanzabumX [31]
<span>1/3 The key thing to remember about an elastic collision is that it preserves both momentum and kinetic energy. For this problem I will assume the more massive particle has a mass of 1 and that the initial velocities are 1 and -1. The ratio of the masses will be represented by the less massive particle and will have the value "r" The equation for kinetic energy is E = 1/2MV^2. So the energy for the system prior to collision is 0.5r(-1)^2 + 0.5(1)^2 = 0.5r + 0.5 The energy after the collision is 0.5rv^2 Setting the two equations equal to each other 0.5r + 0.5 = 0.5rv^2 r + 1 = rv^2 (r + 1)/r = v^2 sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v The momentum prior to collision is -1r + 1 Momentum after collision is rv Setting the equations equal to each other rv = -1r + 1 rv +1r = 1 r(v+1) = 1 Now we have 2 equations with 2 unknowns. sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v r(v+1) = 1 Substitute the value v in the 2nd equation with sqrt((r+1)/r) and solve for r. r(sqrt((r + 1)/r)+1) = 1 r*sqrt((r + 1)/r) + r = 1 r*sqrt(1+1/r) + r = 1 r*sqrt(1+1/r) = 1 - r r^2*(1+1/r) = 1 - 2r + r^2 r^2 + r = 1 - 2r + r^2 r = 1 - 2r 3r = 1 r = 1/3 So the less massive particle is 1/3 the mass of the more massive particle.</span>

A 5 newton force and a 7 newton force act concurrently on a point. As the angle between the forces is increased from 0 to 180 th
Reika [66]

Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant decreases from A+B to A-B

Explanation:

The magnitude of the resultant of two vectors is given by

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2 +2AB cos \theta}

where

A is the magnitude of the first vector

B is the magnitude of the second vector

\theta is the angle between the directions of the two vectors

In the formula, A and B are constant, so the behaviour depends only on the function cos \theta. The value of cos \theta are:

- 1 (maximum) when the angle is 0, so the magnitude of the resultant in this case is

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2+2AB}=\sqrt{(A+B)^2}=A+B

- then it decreases, until it becomes 0 when the angle is 90 degrees, where the magnitude of the resultant is

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2+0}=\sqrt{A^2+B^2}

- then it becomes negative, and continues to decrease, until it reaches a value of -1 when the angle is 180 degrees, and the magnitude of the resultant is

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2-2AB}=\sqrt{(A-B)^2}=A-B

The solution to a disjunction is the what of the two solutions
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The solution set of a disjunction is the union of the solution sets of the individual inequalities. A convenient way to graph a disjunction is to graph each individual inequality above the number line, then move them both onto the actual number line

A refrigerator is being pulled up a ramp with a horizontal force P, which acts at the top corner. The refrigerator has a mass of
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(a) P = 459.055 N.

(b) the refrigerator tips.

Explanation:

Given, the angle of ramp is 20°.

When the weight of refrigerator is resolved in directions parallel and perpendicular to ramp, 75×g×sin(20°) and 75×g×cos(20°).

⇒ normal contact force is 75×g×cos(20°).

⇒ frictional force is 0.3×75×g×cos(20°) = 207.414 N

so, total opposite force is 207.414 + 75×g×sin(20°) = 459.055 N.

so, the force needed is P = 459.055 N

And as the moment due to both opposite force and P force are in same direction the refrigerator tips rather than just sliding.
