8. A car moving at 35 m/s has 675 joules of KE. What is the mass of the car?

1 answer:

6 0

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body in motion while potential energy is the energy of a body at rest.
Kinetic energy is given by E=1/2MV² where M is the mass of the body while V is the velocity of the body.
To get mass we can use the formula M= 2 Ek/V² (Making M the subject)
hence mass = (2 ×675)÷35²
= 1.102 kg

A hockey stick of mass ms and length L is at rest on the ice (which is assumed to be frictionless). A puck with mass mp hits the

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

L = mp*v₀*(ms*D) / (ms + mp)

Explanation:

Given info

ms = mass of the hockey stick

uis = 0 (initial speed of the hockey stick before the collision)

xis = D (initial position of center of mass of the hockey stick before the collision)

mp = mass of the puck

uip = v₀ (initial speed of the puck before the collision)

xip = 0 (initial position of center of mass of the puck before the collision)

If we apply

Ycm = (ms*xis + mp*xip) / (ms + mp)

⇒ Ycm = (ms*D + mp*0) / (ms + mp)

⇒ Ycm = (ms*D) / (ms + mp)

Now, we can apply the equation

L = m*v*R

where m = mp

v = v₀

R = Ycm

then we have

L = mp*v₀*(ms*D) / (ms + mp)

A woman of mass 50 kg is swimming with a velocity of 1.6 m/s. If she stops stroking and glides to a stop in the water, what is t

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Impulse of force = -80 Ns

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 50kg

Initial velocity = 1.6m/s

Since she glides to a stop, her final velocity equals to zero (0).

Now, we would find the change in velocity.

$Change \; in \; velocity = final \; velocity - initial \; velocity$

Substituting into the equation above;

Change in velocity = 0 - 1.6 = 1.6m/s

$Impulse \; of \; force = mass * change \; in \; velocity$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Impulse \; of \; force = 50 * -1.6$

Impulse of force = -80 Ns

Therefore, the impulse of the force that stops her is -80 Newton-seconds and it has a negative value because it is working in an opposite direction, thus, bringing her to a stop.
