A 1400 kg car at rest at a stop sign is rear ended by a 1860 kg truck traveling at a speed of 19.1 m/s. After the collision, the

two vehicles are locked together. Alice is moving past the collision site in a frame S' that is traveling at a constant velocity of 6.11 m/s in the direction of travel of the incident truck.
(a) Determine the momentum of the vehicles before the collision in Alice's frame. kg · m/s

(b) Determine the momentum of the vehicles after the collision in Alice's frame. kg · m/s

(c) Does Alice conclude that momentum is conserved during the collision? Yes No cannot be determined

Answer:

Explanation:

Applying conservation of momentum law to system of car and truck

their common velocity = their total momentum before collision / total mass

= (0 + 1860 x 19.1 ) / (1400 + 1860)

= 10.8975  m/s

Velocity of car with respect to ground before the collision u₁ = 0

velocity of the car in the frame of Alice                 u₁ = 0 - 6.11 = - 6.11 m /s

similarly velocity of truck in the frame of Alice = 19.1 - 6.11 = 12.99 m /s

total momentum of system of car and truck in alice's frame

= m₁ u₁ + m₂u₂  , m₁ , m₂ are masses of car and truck and u₁ , u₂ are their velocities in Alice's frame

= 1400 x - 6.11 + 1860 x 12.99

= - 8554 + 24161.4

= 15607.4 kg m/s

velocity of car and truck  after collision in Alice's frame

= 10.8975 - 6.11

= 4.7875

total momentum after collision in Alice's frame

= 4.7875 x ( 1400 + 1860 )

= 15607.25

Total momentum before collision in Alice's frame

= Total momentum in Alice's frame after collision

So law of conservation of momentum is obeyed in Alice's frame also.

A capacitor consists of two square plates, 8.7 cm on a side, separated by a 2.0 mm air gap. How much energy would be stored in t
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

122.84 J

Explanation:

Since plate is square, area, A is given by (8.7/100)^{2}=0.007569m^{2}

The distance between plates, d, is given in the question as 2mm=0.002m

Charge on plate, Q, as given in the question is 240 \mu c

Assuming mica dielectric constant, k of 7

Capacitance, C is given by

C=\frac {k\epsilon_{o}A}{d}=\frac {(7)(8.85*10^{-12})(0.007569)}{0.002}=2.34*10*^{-10}F

Stored energy, E is given by

E=\frac {Q^{2}}{2C}=\frac {(240*10^{-6})^{2}}{2*(2.34*10^{-10})}=122.84J

Therefore, the stored energy is 122.84 J
