An air track car with a mass of 0.75 kg and a velocity of 8.5 m/s to the right collides elastically with a 0.65kg car moving to

the left with a velocity of 7.2m/s. If the collision is elastic, what is the speed and direction of each car after the collision?

We can do this with the conservation of momentum. The fact it is elastic means no KE is lost so we don't have to worry about the loss due to sound energy etc.

Firstly, let's calculate the momentum of both objects using p=mv:

Object 1:
p = 0.75 x 8.5 = 6.375 kgm/s

Object 2 (we will make this one negative as it is travelling in the opposite direction):
p = 0.65 x -(7.2) = -4.68 kgm/s

Based on this we know that the momentum is going to be in the direction of object one, and will be 6.375-4.68=1.695 kgm/s

Substituting this into p=mv again:

1.695 = (0.75+0.65) x v
Note I assume here the objects stick together, it doesn't specify - it should!

1.695 = 1.4v
v=1.695/1.4 = 1.2 m/s to the right (to 2sf)

Your high-fidelity amplifier has one output for a speaker of resistance 8 Ω. How can you arrange two 8-Ω speakers, one 4-Ω speak
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

(a) 8Ω (b)  Ratio = Parra/P8 ohm = 1

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that,

An high-fidelity amplifier has one output for a speaker of resistance of = 8 Ω

Now,

(a) How can  two 8-Ω speakers be  arranged, when one =  4-Ω speaker, and one =12-Ω speaker

The Upper arm is : 8 ohm, 8 ohm

The Lower arm is : 12 ohm, 4 ohm

The Requirement is  = (16 x 16)/(16 + 16) = 8 ohm

(b) compare  your arrangement  power output of with the power output of a single 8-Ω speaker

The Ratio = Parra/P8 ohm = 1

Ksju [112]

Answer:

A. The project's energy costs will decrease

Explanation:

Since the project is located in an area with a demand-response program and on a site that has enough room for a wind-turbine to allow for on-site renewable energy.

Hence, the project's energy costs will decrease very well because it's implementing both of these strategies;

- Area with demand-response program.

- On-site renewable energy.

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

4.41 m/s^2

Explanation:

(v_f)^2 - (v_i)^2 = 2a * change in distance

(21)^2 - (0)^2 = 2a * 50

a = (21^2)/(2*50)

a = 4.41 m/s^2
