<span>Let's convert the speed to m/s: speed = (55 mph) (1609.3 m / mile) (1 hour / 3600 seconds) speed = 24.59 m/s Let's convert the mass to kilograms: mass = (2135 lb) (0.45359 kg / lb) mass = 968.4 kg We can find the kinetic energy KE: KE = (1/2) m v^2 KE = (1/2) (968.4 kg) (24.59 m/s)^2 KE = 292780 joules The kinetic energy of the automobile is 292780 joules.</span>

Compare convergent plate boundaries that have the same density to convergent plate boundaries with different densities.
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

If the two plates are of equal density, they usually push up against each other, forming a mountain chain. If they are of unequal density, one plate usually sinks beneath the other in a subduction zone. Hope this helps!

A rocket is launched from rest and moves in a straight line at 30.0 degrees above the horizontal with an acceleration of 35.0 m/
klemol [59]

Answer:

t = 123.59s

Explanation:

For the launch pad section:

Vf = Vo + a*t  where Vo=0.

Vf = 35*25 = 875m/s

The distance traveled during the launch:

d = Vo*t+\frac{a*t^2}{2} = 0+\frac{35*25^2}{2} = 10937.5m

Now the projectile motion, we know that its initial speed is the speed calculated previously and the initial height is the y-component of the previously calculated distance.

\Delta Y = Vo*sin(30)*t - \frac{g*t^2}{2}

-d*sin(30) = Vo*sin(30)*t - \frac{g*t^2}{2}  where d= 10937.5m; Vo=875m/s.

Solving for t:

t1 = -11.093s   t2 = 98.59s

So, the total time of flight will be:

t_{total} = t_{launch}+t_{projectile}=25+98.59 = 123.59s

A .5 kg air puck moves to the right at 3 m/s, colliding with a 1.5kg air puck that is moving to the left at 1.5 m/s.
arlik [135]

Answer:

part (a) v = 1.7 m/s towards right direction

part (b) Not an elastic collision

part (c) F = -228.6 N towards left.

Explanation:

Given,

  • Mass of the first puck = m_1\ =\ 5\ kg
  • Mass of the second puck = m_2\ =\ 3\ kg
  • initial velocity of the first puck = u_1\ =\ 3\ m/s.
  • Initial velocity of the second puck = u_2\ =\ -1.5\ m/s.

Part (a)

Pucks are stick together after the collision, therefore the final velocities of the pucks are same as v.

From the conservation of linear momentum,

m_1u_1\ +\ m_2u_2\ =\ (m_1\ +\ m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \dfrac{m_1u_1\ +\ m_2u_2}{m_1\ +\ m_2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \dfrac{5\times 3\ -\ 1.5\times 1.5}{5\ +\ 1.5}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 1.7\ m/s.

Direction of the velocity is towards right due to positive velocity.

part (b)

Given,

Final velocity of the second puck = v_2\ =\ 2.31\ m/s.

Let v_1 be the final velocity of first puck after the collision.

From the conservation of linear momentum,

m_1u_1\ +\ m_2u_2\ +\ m_1v_1\ +\ m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v_1\ =\ \dfrac{m_1u_1\ +\ m_2u_2\ -\ m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1\ =\ \dfrac{5\times 3\ -\ 1.5\times 1.5\ -\ 1.5\times 2.31}{5}\\\Rightarrow v_1\ =\ 1.857\ m/s.

For elastic collision, the coefficient of restitution should be 1.

From the equation of the restitution,

v_1\ -\ v_2\ =\ e(u_2\ -\ u_1)\\\Rightarrow e\ =\ \dfrac{v_1\ -\ v_2}{u_2\ -\ u_1}\\\Rightarrow e\ =\ \dfrac{1.857\ -\ 2.31}{-1.5\ -\ 3}\\\Rightarrow e\ =\ 0.1\\

Therefore the collision is not elastic collision.

part (c)

Given,

Time of impact = t = 25\times 10^{-3}\ sec

we know that the impulse on an object due to a force is equal to the change in momentum of the object due to the collision,

\therefore I\ =\ \ m_1v_1\ -\ m_1u_1\\\Rightarrow F\times t\ =\ m_1(v_1\ -\ u_1)\\\Rightarrow F\ =\ \dfrac{m_1(v_1\ -\ u_1)}{t}\\\Rightarrow F\ =\ \dfrac{5\times (1.857\ -\ 3)}{25\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow F\ =\ -228.6\ N

Negative sign indicates that the force is towards in the left side of the movement of the first puck.

Mila [183]

Since the biker is moving at constant speed

so we will have

v = \frac{distance}{time}

here we know that

distance = 2\pi R

time = 4 second

now we have

v = \frac{2\pi R}{4} = \frac{\pi R}{2}

now at the top point it feels free fall

so it is

mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}

v^2 = Rg

(\frac{\pi R}{2})^2 = Rg

R = \frac{4g}{\pi^2}

so height of the bike at the top is same as diameter

h = 2R

h = \frac{8g}{\pi^2} = 7.95 meter

Yes it will hurt on falling from this height
