A 1 170.0 kg car traveling initially with a speed of 25.000 m/s in an easterly direction crashes into the back of a 9 800.0 kg t

ruck moving in the same direction at 20.000 m/s. The velocity of the car right after the collision is 18.000 m/s to the east.
(a) What is the velocity of the truck right after the collision? (Give your answer to five significant figures.) m/s east

(b) What is the change in mechanical energy of the car�truck system in the collision? J

(c) Account for this change in mechanical energy.

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of car, m1 = 1170 kg

mass of truck, m2 = 9800 kg

initial velocity of car, u1 = 25 m/s

initial velocity of truck, u2 = 20 m/s

final velocity of car, v1 = 18 m/s

Let the final velocity of truck is v2.

(a) Use the conservation of momentum

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 + m1 x v1 + m2 x v2

1170 x 25 + 9800 x 20 = 1170 x 18 + 9800 x v2

29250 + 196000 = 21060 + 9800 v2

v2 = 20.84 m/s

(b) Total kinetic energy before collision,

Ki = 0.5 x 1170 x 25 x 25 + 0.5 x 9800 x 20 x 20

Ki = 365625 + 1960000 = 2325625 J

Total final kinetic energy

Kf = 0.5 x 1170 x 18 x 18 + 0.5 x 9800 x 20.84 x 20.84

Kf = 189540 + 2128097.44

Kf = 2317637.44 J

Change in energy = 2325625 - 2317637.44 = 7987.56 J

(c) It is due to the heat energy

Ok so if each side is 4.53 cm, we can multiply 4.53 x 4.53 x 4.53 to get the volume (since v= l x w x h). Density equals mass/volume, so

A uniform rod of length L rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The rod pivots about a fixed frictionless axis at one end.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

A) ω = 6v/19L

B) K2/K1 = 3/19

Explanation:

Mr = Mass of rod

Mb = Mass of bullet = Mr/4

Ir = (1/3)(Mr)L²

Ib = MbRb²

Radius of rotation of bullet Rb = L/2

A) From conservation of angular momentum,

L1 = L2

(Mb)v(L/2) = (Ir+ Ib)ω2

Where Ir is moment of inertia of rod while Ib is moment of inertia of bullet.

(Mr/4)(vL/2) = [(1/3)(Mr)L² + (Mr/4)(L/2)²]ω2

(MrvL/8) = [((Mr)L²/3) + (MrL²/16)]ω2

Divide each term by Mr;

vL/8 = (L²/3 + L²/16)ω2

vL/8 = (19L²/48)ω2

Divide both sides by L to obtain;

v/8 = (19L/48)ω2

Thus;

ω2 = 48v/(19x8L) = 6v/19L

B) K1 = K1b + K1r

K1 = (1/2)(Mb)v² + Ir(w1²)

= (1/2)(Mr/4)v² + (1/3)(Mr)L²(0²)

= (1/8)(Mr)v²

K2 = (1/2)(Isys)(ω2²)

I(sys) is (Ir+ Ib). This gives us;

Isys = (19L²Mr/48)

K2 =(1/2)(19L²Mr/48)(6v/19L)²

= (1/2)(36v²Mr/(48x19)) = 3v²Mr/152

Thus, the ratio, K2/K1 =

[3v²Mr/152] / (1/8)(Mr)v² = 24/152 = 3/19

Object A and Object B are 100 meters apart. If Object A gains some
satela [25.4K]

The gravitational force between the two objects A) It increases.

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

m_1, m_2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

In this problem, object A and object B are initially at a distance of

r = 100 m

And at that distance, the force between them is

F

Later, object A gains some mass. We notice from eq.(1) that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass: therefore, if the mass of either of the two objects increases, then the gravitational force between them also increases. Therefore, the new force will be larger than the original force:

F' > F
