What is transferred by a force moving an object through a distance?

Komok [63]

When you apply force to move an object at a distance, you are applying work. And work is energy in transit. The answer is letter D. For example, you see a cart at a distance. You observe that it is not moving. You want to transfer it to your backyard. You apply force to the cart and observed that the cart is not at the same position as it was before. You are applying work to the cart by transferring your energy to it.

(33%) Problem 3: Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1100 kg and i

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The final velocity of the cars is 8.38 m/s at an angle 39.1° south of west.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first car = 1100 kg

Velocity of first car = 8.5 m/s

Mass of second car = 650 kg

Velocity of second car = 17.5 m/s

Suppose we need to find the final velocity of the cars and direction of the cars.

We need to calculate the velocity of the car in west direction

Using conservation of momentum in west direction

$m_{f}v_{f}+m_{s}v_{s}= (m_{f}+m_{s})v_{x}$

$v_{x}=\dfrac{m_{f}v_{f}+m_{s}v_{s}}{(m_{f}+m_{s})}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{x}=\dfrac{1100\times0+650\times17.5}{1100+650}$

$v_{x}=6.5\ m/s$

We need to calculate the velocity of the car in south direction

Using conservation of momentum in south direction

$m_{f}v_{f}+m_{s}v_{s}= (m_{f}+m_{s})v_{y}$

$v_{y}=\dfrac{m_{f}v_{f}+m_{s}v_{s}}{(m_{f}+m_{s})}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{y}=\dfrac{1100\times8.5+650\times0}{1100+650}$

$v_{y}=5.3\ m/s$

We need to calculate the final velocity of the cars

Using formula of velocity

$v_{eq}=\sqrt{(6.5)^2+(5.3)^2}$

$v_{eq}=8.38\ m/s$

We need to calculate the direction

Using formula of direction

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{y}}{v_{x}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{5.3}{6.5}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{5.3}{6.5})$

$\theta=39.1^{\circ}$

Hence, The final velocity of the cars is 8.38 m/s at an angle 39.1° south of west.

What frequency is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 110 km/h and emitting a steady 800-Hz sound from

Strike441 [17]

To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The frequency of sound perceive by observer changes from source emitting the sound. The frequency received by observer $f_{obs}$ is more than the frequency emitted by the source. The expression to find the frequency received by the person is,
