A 4-kg toy car with a speed of 5 m/s collides head-on with a stationary 1-kg car. After the collision, the cars are locked toget

Kinetic energy lost in collision is 10 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given,

Mass, $m_{1}$ = 4 kg

Speed, $v_{1}$ = 5 m/s

$m_{2}$ = 1 kg

$v_{2}$ = 0

Speed after collision = 4 m/s

Kinetic energy lost, K×E = ?

During collision, momentum is conserved.

Before collision, the kinetic energy is

$\frac{1}{2} m1 (v1)^2 + \frac{1}{2} m2(v2)^2$

By plugging in the values we get,

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * 4 * (5)^2 + \frac{1}{2} * 1 * (0)^2\\\\KE = \frac{1}{2} * 4 * 25 + 0\\\\$

K×E = 50 J

Therefore, kinetic energy before collision is 50 J

Kinetic energy after collision:

$KE = \frac{1}{2} (4 + 1) * (4)^2 + KE(lost)$

$KE = 40J + KE(lost)$

Since,

Initial Kinetic energy = Final kinetic energy

50 J = 40 J + K×E(lost)

K×E(lost) = 50 J - 40 J

K×E(lost) = 10 J

Therefore, kinetic energy lost in collision is 10 J.

A child has an ear canal that is 1.3 cm long. Assume the speed of sound is v = 344 m/s.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

The frequencies are $(f, f_1) = (6615.4 \ Hz , 19846.2\ Hz)$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the ear canal is $l = 1.3 \ cm =\frac{1.3}{100} = 0.013 \ m$

The speed of sound is assumed to be $v_s = 344 \ m/s$

Now taking look at a typical ear canal we see that we assume it is a closed pipe

Now the fundamental harmonics for the pipe(ear canal) is mathematically represented as

$f = \frac{v_s}{4 * l }$

substituting values

$f = \frac{344}{4 * 0.013 }$

$f = 6615.4 \ Hz$

Also the the second harmonic for the pipe (ear canal) is mathematically represented as

$f_1 = \frac{3v_s}{4 * l}$

substituting values

$f_1 = \frac{3 * 344}{4 * 0.013}$

$f_1 = 19846.2 \ Hz$

Given that sound would be loudest in the pipe at the frequency, it implies that the child will have an increased audible sensitivity at this frequencies

A truck travels up a hill with a 5.7° incline. The truck has a constant speed of 22 m/s. What is the horizontal component of the

tester [92]

Answer:

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Please see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.

Notice that the vector v and its x and y-components (vx and vy) form a right triangle. Then, we can use trigonometry to find the magnitude of vx, the horizontal component of the velocity.

To find vx, let´s use the following trigonometric rule of right triangles:

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 5.7° = vx / 22 m/s

22 m/s · cos 5.7° = vx

vx = 21.9 m/s

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.
