When a speeding truck hits a stationary car, the car is deformed and heat is generated. What can you say about the kinetic energ

y of the system after the collision?

I can say that the kinetic energy after the collision is less than it was before the collision. I can say this with confidence because you've said that some energy was used to deform the car, plus there was energy lost from the system in the form of heat.

Calculate the acceleration of a bus that goes

Svet_ta [14]

The acceleration of the bus is 1.11 meters per second square to the direction of motion

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity

The formula of the acceleration is $a=\frac{v_{2}-v_{1}}{t}$ , where

$v_{1}$ is the initial velocity

$v_{2}$ is the final velocity
t is the time

A bus that goes from 10 km/h to a speed of 50 km/h in 10 seconds

→ $v_{1}$ = 10 km/h

→ $v_{2}$ = 50 km/h

→ t = 10 seconds

Change the unite of the time from seconds to hour

→ 1 hour = 60 × 60 = 3600 seconds

→ 10 seconds = $\frac{10}{3600}=\frac{1}{360}$ hour

Substitute these values in the formula of the acceleration above

→ $a=\frac{50-10}{\frac{1}{360}}$

→ a = 14400 km/h²

To change the unit of acceleration to meter per second change the

kilometer to meter and the hour to seconds

→ 1 km = 1000 m

→ 1 hour = 3600 seconds

→ $a=\frac{14400*1000}{(3600)^{2}}=\frac{10}{9}$

→ a = 1.11 m/sec².

The acceleration of the bus is 1.11 meters per second square to the direction of motion

A child whirls a 3.00 kg ball on a string .50 m from the axis of rotation in a horizontal circle. The ball makes 1 revolution in

melamori03 [73]

Answers:

a) $0.5 m/s^{2}$

b) $1.5 N$

Explanation:

a) The centripetal acceleration $a_{c}$ of an object moving in a uniform circular motion is given by the following equation:

$a_{c}=\omega^{2} r$

Where:

$\omega=1 \frac{rev}{s}$ is the angular velocity of the ball

$r=0.5 m$ is the radius of the circular motion, which is equal to the length of the string

Then:

$a_{c}=(1 \frac{rev}{s})^{2} 0.5 m$

$a_{c}=0.5 m/s^{2}$ This is the centripetal acceleration of the ball

b) On the other hand, in this circular motion there is a force (centripetal force $F$ ) that is directed towards the center and is equal to the tension ( $T$ ) in the string:

$F=T=m. a_{c}$

Where $m=3 kg$ is the mass of the ball

Hence:

$T=(3 kg)(0.5 m/s^{2})$

$T=1.5 N$ This is the tension in the string

Assuming a 8 kilogram bowling ball moving at 2 m/s bounces off a spring at the same speed that had before bouncing what is the a

Naya [18.7K]

a) 32 kg m/s

Assuming the spring is initially at rest, the total momentum of the system before the collision is given only by the momentum of the bowling ball:

$p_i = m u = (8 kg)(2 m/s)=16 kg m/s$

The ball bounces off at the same speed had before, but the new velocity has a negative sign (since the direction is opposite to the initial direction). So, the new momentum of the ball is:

$p_{fB}=m v_b =(8 kg)(-2 m/s)=-16 kg m/s$

The final momentum after the collision is the sum of the momenta of the ball and off the spring:

$p_f = p_{fB}+p_{fS}$

where $p_{fS}$ is the momentum of the spring. For the conservation of momentum,

$p_i = p_f\\p_i = p_{fB}+p_{fS}\\p_{fS}=p_i -p_{fB}=16 kg m/s -(-16 kg m/s)=32 kg m/s$

b) -32 kg m/s

The change in momentum of bowling ball is given by the difference between its final momentum and initial momentum:

$\Delta p=p_{fb}-p_i=-16 kg m/s - 16 kg m/s=-32 kg m/s$

c) 64 N

The change in momentum is equal to the product between the average force and the time of the interaction:

$\Delta p=F \Delta t$

Since we know $\Delta t=0.5 s$ , we can find the magnitude of the force:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{-32 kg m/s}{0.5 s}=-64 N$

The negative sign simply means that the direction of the force is opposite to the initial direction of the ball.

d) The force calculated in the previous step (64 N) is larger than the force of 32 N.
