To solve this problem, we must remember about the law of conservation of momentum. The initial momentum mist be equal to the final momentum, that is:

m1 v1 + m2 v2 = (m1 + m2) v’

where v’ is the speed of impact

Since we are not given the masses of each car m1 and m2, so let us assume that they are equal, such that:

m1 = m2 = m

Which makes the equation:

m v1 + m v2 = (2 m) v’

Cancelling m and substituting the v values:

50 + 48 = 2 v’

2 v’ = 98

v ‘ = 49 km/h

 

<span>The speed of impact is 49 km/h.</span>

Consider a uniformly wound solenoid having N=210 turns, length l=0.18 m, and cross-sectional area A = 4.00 cm2. Assume l is much
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Number of turns

N = 210turns

Length of solenoid

l = 0.18m

Cross sectional area

A = 4cm² = 4 × 10^-4m²

A. Inductance L?

Inductance can be determined using

L = N²μA/l

Where

μ is a constant of permeability of the core

μ = 4π × 10^-7 Tm/A

A is cross sectional area

l is length of coil

L is inductance

Therefore

L = N²μA / l

L=210² × 4π × 10^-7 × 4 × 10^-4 / 0.18

L = 1.23 × 10^-4 H

L = 0.123 mH

B. Self induce EMF ε?

EMF is given as

ε = -Ldi/dt

Since rate of decrease of current is 120 A/s

Then, di/dt = —120A/s, since the current is decreasing

Then,

ε = -Ldi/dt

ε = - 1.23 × 10^-4 × -120

ε = 0.01478 V

ε ≈ 0.015 V

A car of mass 900 kg is traveling at 20 m/s when the brakes are applied. The car then comes to a complete stop in 5 s. What is t
ollegr [7]

Answer:

A. 36,000 W

Explanation:

m = mass of the car = 900 kg

v_{o} = Initial speed of the car = 20 m/s

v_{f} = Final speed of the car = 0 m/s

W = Work done by the brakes on the car

Magnitude of work done on the car by the brakes is same as the change in kinetic energy of the car.hence

W = (0.5) m (v_{o}^{2} - v_{f}^{2})\\W = (0.5) (900) ((20)^{2} - (0)^{2})\\W = 180000 J

t = time taken by the car to come to stop = 5 s

P = Average power produced by the car

Average power produced by the car is given as

P = \frac{W}{t} =\frac{180000}{5} \\P = 36000 W
