A 1050 kg sports car is moving westbound at 14.0 m/s on a level road when it collides with a 6320 kg truck driving east on the s

ame road at 10.0 m/s. The two vehicles remain locked together after the collision.a) What is the velocity (magnitude) of the two vehicles just after the collision?b) What is the direction of the velocity of the two vehicles just after the collision?c) At what speed should the truck have been moving so that it and car are both stopped in the collision?d) Find the change in kinetic energy of the system of two vehicles for the situations of part a).

Answer:

(a) 6.58 m/s

(b) East direction

(c) 2.33 m/s

(d) -259353 J

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum

M1u1+m2u2=(m1+m2)V where V is common velocity, m1 and m2 are masses of objects, u1 and u2 are velocities of m1 and m2 respectively

Making V the subject

V=\frac {m1u1+m2u2}{m1+m2}

Let West be positive while East be negative hence

V=\frac {1050*14+6320*-10}{1050+6320}= -6.58073 m/s\approx -6.58 m/s

Velocity=6.58 m/s

(b)

Since common velocity is negative, it implies that after collision the vehicles move to the East

(c)

m1u1=m2u2

u1=\frac {m2u2}{m1}=\frac {1050*14}{6320}= 2.325949367 m/s\approx 2.33 m/s

(d)

The initial kinetic energy is given by

KE_i=0.5m1(u1)^{2}+0.5m2(u2)^{2}=0.5(m1(u1)^{2}+ m2(u2)^{2})=0.5(1050*14^{2}+6320*10^{2}}= 418900 J

The final kinetic energy is given by

KE_f=0.5(m1+m2)V^{2}=0.5(1050+6320)*6.58^{2}= 159547.2 J

Since the two vehicles remain locked after collision, this is inelastic collision hence kinetic energy is not conserved

Change in kinetic energy is given by

\triangle KE=KE_f-KE_i=159547.2 J-418900 J=-259352.766 J\approx -259353 J

solong [7]

Answer:

(a) 3.81\times 10^5\ Pa

(b) 4.19\times 1065\ Pa

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • T_1 = The first temperature of air inside the tire = 10^\circ C =(273+10)\ K =283\ K
  • T_2 = The second temperature of air inside the tire = 46^\circ C =(273+46)\ K= 319\ K
  • T_3 = The third temperature of air inside the tire = 85^\circ C =(273+85)\ K=358 \ K
  • V_1 = The first volume of air inside the tire
  • V_2 = The second volume of air inside the tire = 30\% V_1 = 0.3V_1
  • V_3 = The third volume of air inside the tire = 2\%V_2+V_2= 102\%V_2=1.02V_2
  • P_1 = The first pressure of air inside the tire = 1.01325\times 10^5\ Pa

<u>Assume:</u>

  • P_2 = The second pressure of air inside the tire
  • P_3 = The third pressure of air inside the tire
  • n = number of moles of air

Since the amount pof air inside the tire remains the same, this means the number of moles of air in the tire will remain constant.

Using ideal gas equation, we have

PV = nRT\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{PV}{T}=nR = constant\,\,\,(\because n,\ R\ are\ constants)

Part (a):

Using the above equation for this part of compression in the air, we have

\therefore \dfrac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow P_2 = \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}\times \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}\times P_1\\\Rightarrow P_2 = \dfrac{V_1}{0.3V_1}\times \dfrac{319}{283}\times 1.01325\times 10^5\\\Rightarrow P_2 =3.81\times 10^5\ Pa

Hence, the pressure in the tire after the compression is 3.81\times 10^5\ Pa.

Part (b):

Again using the equation for this part for the air, we have

\therefore \dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}=\dfrac{P_3V_3}{T_3}\\\Rightarrow P_3 = \dfrac{V_2}{V_3}\times \dfrac{T_3}{T_2}\times P_2\\\Rightarrow P_3 = \dfrac{V_2}{1.02V_2}\times \dfrac{358}{319}\times 3.81\times 10^5\\\Rightarrow P_3 =4.19\times 10^5\ Pa

Hence, the pressure in the tire after the car i driven at high speed is 4.19\times 10^5\ Pa.

A rectangular piece of​ cardboard, whose area is 352 square​ centimeters, is made into an open box by cutting a 2​-centimeter sq
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Dimension of cardboard is 22 m by 16 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Area = 352 cm²

Side of each square cutting from corner = 2 cm

Volume of box = 432 cm³

Let the two sides are x and y.

The area of the rectangular piece is

xy=352

y=\dfrac{352}{x} -------- (1)

The volume of the rectangular piece

2(x-4)(\dfrac{352}{x}-4)=432

x^2-38x+352=0

(x-16)(x-22)=0

x=16,22

Put the value of x in the equation (I)

For x = 16

y=\dfrac{352}{16}=22

For x = 22

y=\dfrac{352}{22}=16

Dimension of cardboard is 22 m by 16 m

Why do we see black? Is light being admitted reflected or absorbed or transmitted
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:When white light strikes an object, each individual frequency of light is transmitted, reflected, or absorbed, depending on the properties of the surface molecules. If all frequencies are absorbed by the object, then it appears black. If all frequencies are reflected, then it appears white.

A kite 100 ft above the ground moves horizontally at a speed of 12 ft/s. at what rate is the angle (in radians) between the stri
Viefleur [7K]
<span>Answer: So this involves right triangles. The height is always 100. Let the horizontal be x and the length of string be z. So we have x2 + 1002 = z2. Now take its derivative in terms of time to get 2x(dx/dt) = 2z(dz/dt) So at your specific moment z = 200, x = 100âš3 and dx/dt = +8 substituting, that makes dz/dt = 800âš3 / 200 or 4âš3. Part 2 sin a = 100/z = 100 z-1 . Now take the derivative in terms of t to get cos a (da./dt) = -100/ z2 (dz/dt) So we know z = 200, which makes this a 30-60-90 triangle, therefore a=30 degrees or Ď€/6 radians. Substitute to get cos (Ď€/6)(da/dt) = (-100/ 40000)(4âš3) âš3 / 2 (da/dt) = -âš3 / 100 da/dt = -1/50 radians</span>
