Two 110 kg bumper cars are moving toward each other in opposite directions. Car A is moving at 8 m/s and Car Z at –10 m/s when t

salantis [7]

Explanation:

Mass of bumper cars, $m_1=m_2=110\ kg$

Initial speed of car A, $u_1=8\ m/s$

Initial speed of car Z, $u_2=-10\ m/s$

Final speed of car A after the collision, $v_1=-10\ m/s$

We need to find the velocity of car Z after the collision. Let it is equal to $v_2$ . Using the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

$110\times 8+110\times (-10)=110\times (-10)+110v_2$

$v_2=\dfrac{-1320}{110}\ m/s$

$v_2=-12\ m/s$

So, the velocity of car Z after the collision is (-12 m/s). Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

I'm going to say b. gasoline is a chemical and when it combusts, it causes heat (thermal energy) and when the piston rotates because of the thermal expansion, you get mechanical force.

A 1500 kg car skids to a halt on a wet road where μk = 0.47. You may want to review (Pages 141 - 145) . Part A How fast was the

shusha [124]

The car travels at a speed of 25m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass, m = 1500kg

Coefficient of friction, μk = 0.47

Distance, x = 68m

Speed, s = ?

We know,

$Force, F = ma$

and

F = μ X m X g

Therefore,

μ * m * g = m * a

μ * g = a

Let, g = 9.8m/s²

So,

$a = 0.47 * 9.8 m/s^2$

$a = 4.606m/s^2$

We know,

$v^2 - u^2 = 2as$

where, v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

If the car comes to rest, the final velocity, v becomes 0.

So,

$u^2 = 2 * 4.606 * 68\\\\u^2 = 626.416m/s\\\\u = 25m/s$

The car travels at a speed of 25m/s.

To transform electrical energy into mechanical energy, the electromagnet in a

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Motors commonly contain a "commutator" which allows a magnetic field due to a loop of wire to always be in a say "clockwise or counterclockwise" direction even tho the loop of wire is rotating.

That means that magnetic field due to the surrounding magnets is always in the same direction, but the magnetic field due to the rotating loop of wire is continually changing so that it will always oppose the surrounding field which remains in a constant direction.

This is most easily seen in a "DC - direct current motor".
