Two objects of equal mass collide on a horizontal frictionless surface. Before the collision, object A is at rest while object B

has a constant velocity of 12 m/s. After the collision, the two objects are stuck together. What is the speed of the composite body (A B) after the collision

Answer: 6m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum, the change in momentum of the bodies before collision is equal to the change in momentum after collision.

After collision, the two objects will move at the same velocity (v).

Let mA and mB be the mass of the two objects

uA and uB be their velocities before collision.

v be their velocity after collision

Since the two objects has the same mass, mA= mB= m

Also since object A is at rest, its velocity = 0m/s

Velocity of object B = 12m/s

Mathematically,

mAuA + mBuB = (mA+mB )v

m(0) + m(12) = (m+m)v

0+12m = (2m)v

12m = 2mv

12 = 2v

v = 6m/s

Therefore the speed of the composite body (A B) after the collision is 6m/s

<u>Rated </u>

A t-rated switch may be used to (its/a) <u>Rated</u> current capacity current capacity when controlling an incandescent lighting load.

<h3>What is "current rating"?</h3>
  • The greatest current that a fuse is rated to carry for an infinite duration without significantly degrading the fuse element is known as the current rating.
  • There is also a large selection of power switching transistors that have voltage ratings well over 1000V and current ratings up to several hundred amps.

<h3>What does the term "rated current" mean?</h3>
  • When an electrical device receives its rated voltage and outputs its rated power, it flows at its rated current.
  • So, when a device is designed for a certain amperage, that amperage is referred to as the equipment's rated current.

<h3>What does electrical "rated" mean?</h3>
  • An electrical appliance's rating reveals the voltage range at which it is intended to operate as well as the current consumption at that range.
  • These numbers are typically shown on a rating plate that is fastened to the device, such as 230 volts, 3 amps.

A 1500 kg car, initially traveling at 22.0 m/s, hits its brakes and skids to a stop. Determine the work done by friction.
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

<em>The work done by the car is 363 kJ</em>

Explanation:

Work : Work is said to be done when a Force moves an object through a certain distance. Work and Energy are interchangeable because they have the same unit. The unit of work is Joules (J).

Mathematically work done can be expressed as,

E = W = 1/2mv²

W =  1/2mv²................................ Equation 1

Where E = Energy, W = work done, m = mass of the car, v = velocity of the car

<em>Given: m=1500 kg, v=22 m/s</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>W = 1/2(1500)(22)²</em>

<em>W = 750 × 484</em>

<em>W = 363000 J</em>

<em>W = 363 kJ</em>

<em>Thus the work done by the car is 363 kJ</em>
