Two gliders collide on a frictionless air track that is aligned along the x axis. Glider A has an initial velocity of +4.0 m/s a

nd a mass of mA = 0.20 kg. Glider B is initially at rest and has a mass mB. After they collide, A has a velocity of -1.0 m/s and B has a velocity of +2.0 m/s. Determine mB. Assume that It is an elastic collision.

Answer:

As collision is elastic,thus we can use conservation of momentum equation

mA=0.2 kg

(vB)1=0 m/s.......................as it is on rest before collision

(vA)1=4 m/s

(vA)2=-1 m/s

(vB)2=2 m/s

using equation

(mA*vA+mB*vB)1= (mA*vA+mB*vB)2

Where 1 and 2 represents before and after collision

(0.2*4)+(mB*0)=(0.2*-1)+(mB*2)

0.8=-0.2+(2mB)

mass of object B=mB=0.3 Kg

The concrete slab of a basement is 11 m long, 8 m wide, and 0.20 m thick. During the winter, temperatures are nominally 17°C and

mina [271]

Answer:

$\frac{dQ}{dt}= 4312 W$

Explanation:

As we know that base of the slab is given as

$A = 11 \times 8$

$A = 88 m^2$

now we know that rate of heat transfer is given as

$\frac{dQ}{dt} = \frac{kA}{x} (T_2 - T_1)$

here we know that

$k = 1.4 W/m k$

Also we have

$x =0.20$

$\frac{dQ}{dt} = \frac{1.4(88)}{0.20}(17 - 10)$

$\frac{dQ}{dt}= 4312 W$

A car interior is heated to 48 C by the sun What type of energy transfer?

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Radiation heat energy transfer

Explanation:

The type of heat transfer from the Sun is radiation heat transfer, which is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic radiation

The distance of the Sun to the Earth is several million kilometers away, with the space between being composes of vacuum and the nuclear reaction in the Sun's core generates vast amount of electromagnetic radiation that is transferred all across the universe and reaches the Earth as visible light and radiant energy at the speed of light

The radiant energy transferred from the Sun heats up the Earth, including the car's interior.

Answer:

Part a)

$\theta = 48 degree$

Part b)

$v = 13.45 m/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

mass of the Falcon bird is given as

$m = 600 g$

initial speed of the bird is

$v_i = 20 m/s$

final speed of the bird is given as

$v_f = 5 m/s$ (opposite direction)

So here the impulse given by falcon bird is given as

$I = m(v_f - v_i)$

$I = 0.600(20 + 5)$

$I = 15 kg m/s$

now the final momentum of Raven bird in perpendicular direction is given as

$I = mv_y$

$15 = 1.50 v_y$

$v_y = 10 m/s$

now the change in the angle of the raven bird is given as

$tan\theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x}$

$tan\theta = \frac{10}{9}$

$\theta = 48 degree$

Part b)

Final speed of the raven bird is given as

$v^2 = v_x^2 + v_y^2$

$v^2 = 9^2 + 10^2$

$v = 13.45 m/s$
