The roads are icy, and you observe a head-on collision on Summit, at the corner with Rhodes: a 1ton car swerves out of his lane

and slides through a stop sign at 41 mph straight into a 3 ton SUV traveling at 16mph in the other direction. The car and the SUV crumple from the collision, and stick together.
1. What is the final velocity, in MPH (you don't need to enter MPH in your answer) , of the SUV/car entanglement (the positive direction is the direction the car was initially going)

Answer:

final velocity  = - 1.75 mph

Explanation:

given data

mass m1 = 1 ton

mass m2 = 3 ton

velocity v = 41 mph

velocity u = 16 mph

to find out

what is final velocity  V

solution

we will apply here Conservation of momentum that is express as

mv + Mu = (m + M) × V    ...........................1

put here value we get

1 × 41 - 3 × 16 = (1 + 3 ) × V

solve it we get

41 - 48 = 4 V

V = \frac{-7}{4}

final velocity  = - 1.75 mph

A boy in a wheelchair (total mass 54.5 kg) has speed 1.40 m/s at the crest of a slope 2.10 m high and 12.4 m long. At the bottom
babymother [125]

Answer:

630.75 j

Explanation:

from the question we have the following

total mass (m) = 54.5 kg

initial speed (Vi) = 1.4 m/s

final speed (Vf) = 6.6 m/s

frictional force (FF) = 41 N

height of slope (h) = 2.1 m

length of slope (d) = 12.4 m

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2

work done (wd) = ?

  • we can calculate the work done by the boy in pushing the chair using the law of law of conservation of energy

wd + mgh = (0.5 mVf^2) - (0.5 mVi^2) + (FF x  d)

wd = (0.5 mVf^2) - (0.5 mVi^2) + (FF x  d) - (mgh)

where wd = work done

m = mass

h = height

g = acceleration due to gravity

FF = frictional force

d = distance

Vf and Vi = final and initial velocity

wd =  (0.5 x 54.5 x 6.9^2) - (0.5 x 54.5 x 1.4^2) + (41 x 12.4) - (54.5 X 9.8 X 2.1)            

wd = 630.75 j

A bird sits on a high-voltage power line with its feet 3.87 cm apart. The wire is made from aluminum, is 2.11 cm in diameter, an
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

ΔV=0.484mV

Explanation:

The potential difference across the end of conductor that obeys Ohms law:

ΔV=IR

Where I is current

R is resistance

The resistance of a cylindrical conductor is related to its resistivity p,Length L and cross section area A

R=(pL)/A

Given data

Length L=3.87 cm =0.0387m

Diameter d=2.11 cm =0.0211 m

Current I=165 A

Resistivity of aluminum p=2.65×10⁻⁸ ohms

So

ΔV=IR

=I(\frac{pL}{A})\\ =I(\frac{pL}{\pi r^{2} } )\\=I(\frac{pL}{\pi (d/2)^{2} } )\\=165A((\frac{(2.65*10^{-8})(0.0387m)}{\pi (0.0211m/2)^{2} } ))\\=4.84*10^{-4}V

ΔV=0.484mV

An object, initially at rest, moves 250 m in 17 s. What is its acceleration?
mash [69]

Answer:

1.73 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 250 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

t = 17 s

Find: a

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

250 m = (0 m/s) (17 s) + ½ a (17 s)²

a = 1.73 m/s²

Describe how sound waves are produced
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Sound waves are produced when something vibrates.  

Explanation:

The vibrating body causes the medium (water, air, etc.)  Vibrations in air are called traveling longitudinal waves, which we can hear. Sound waves consist of areas of high and low pressure called compressions and rarefactions, respectively.

Sorry if this if  wrong
