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

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.

Given:

density of air at inlet, $\rho_{a} = 1.20 kg/m_{3}$

density of air at inlet, $\rho_{b} = 1.05 kg/m_{3}$

Solution:

Now,

$\dot{m} = \dot{m_{a}} = \dot{m_{b}}$

$\rho_{a} A v_{a} = \rho _{b} Av_{b}$ (1)

where

A = Area of cross section

$v_{a}$ = velocity of air at inlet

$v_{b}$ = velocity of air at outlet

Now, using eqn (1), we get:

$\frac{v_{b}}{v_{a}} = \frac{\rho_{a}}{\rho_{b}}$

$\frac{v_{b}}{v_{a}} = \frac{1.20}{1.05}$ = 1.14

% increase in velocity = $1.14\times 100$ =114%

which is 14% more

Therefore % increase in velocity is 14%

How would you design an experiment to condition a rabbit to salivate to the ringing of a cell phone?

Klio2033 [76]

Food causes the response (salivation). Pair the food each time with a cell phone ringing. Continue this process with repetition.
• Eventually, the rabbit will learn to salivate at the ringing

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The answer to your question is : vf = 15.18 m/s

Explanation:

Data

vo = 24 m/s

d = 120 m

vf = ? when d = 60.0 m

Formula

vf² = vo² + 2ad

For d =100m

a = (vf² - vo²) / 2d

a = (0 -24²) / 2(100)

a = -576/200

a = 2.88 m/s²

Now, when d = 60

vf² = (24)² - 2(2.88)(60)

vf² = 576 - 345.6

vf² = 230.4

vf = 15.18 m/s

A baseball pitcher throws a ball horizontally at a speed of 34.0 m/s. A catcher is 18.6 m away from the pitcher. Find the magnit

Sidana [21]

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the description of the movement through the kinematic trajectory equations, which include displacement, velocity and acceleration.

The trajectory equation from the motion kinematic equations is given by

$y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0$

Where,

a = acceleration

t = time

$v_0$ = Initial velocity

$y_0$ = initial position

In addition to this we know that speed, speed is the change of position in relation to time. So

$v = \frac{x}{t}$

x = Displacement

t = time

With the data we have we can find the time as well

$v = \frac{x}{t}$

$t = \frac{x}{v}$

$t = \frac{18.6}{34}$

$t = 0.547s$

With the equation of motion and considering that we have no initial position, that the initial velocity is also zero then and that the acceleration is gravity,

$y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0$

$y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2+0+0$

$y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

$y = \frac{1}{2} 9.8*0.547^2$

$y = 1.46m$

Therefore the vertical distance that the ball drops as it moves from the pitcher to the catcher is 1.46m.
