Explanation:
equating the parameters into the formula, it's gonna be
= ½ × 60 × 20²
= ½ × 60 × 400
= ½ × 24000
K.E = 12000J
Answer:
A drunk driver's car travel 49.13 ft further than a sober driver's car, before it hits the brakes
Explanation:
Distance covered by the car after application of brakes, until it stops can be found by using 3rd equation of motion:
2as = Vf² - Vi²
s = (Vf² - Vi²)/2a
where,
Vf = Final Velocity of Car = 0 mi/h
Vi = Initial Velocity of Car = 50 mi/h
a = deceleration of car
s = distance covered
Vf, Vi and a for both drivers is same as per the question. Therefore, distance covered by both car after application of brakes will also be same.
So, the difference in distance covered occurs before application of brakes during response time. Since, the car is in uniform speed before applying brakes. Therefore, following equation shall be used:
s = vt
FOR SOBER DRIVER:
v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s
t = 0.33 s
s = s₁
Therefore,
s₁ = (73.33 ft/s)(0.33 s)
s₁ = 24.2 ft
FOR DRUNK DRIVER:
v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s
t = 1 s
s = s₂
Therefore,
s₂ = (73.33 ft/s)(1 s)
s₂ = 73.33 ft
Now, the distance traveled by drunk driver's car further than sober driver's car is given by:
ΔS = s₂ - s₁
ΔS = 73.33 ft - 24.2 ft
<u>ΔS = 49.13 ft</u>
I would say mass, and weight.
Answer:
Conservation of momentum.
Momentum is zero after collision, no direction or speed.
Explanation:
Answer:
4.15 m/s
Explanation:
As the total energy must be conserved (neglecting air resistance) the change in gravitational potential energy, must be equal to the change in kinetic energy:
ΔE = ΔK + ΔU =0
If we take as a zero reference level for the gravitational potential energy, the height of the swing seat above the ground, (which is equal to 0.21 m), we can find the initial gravitational energy, considering the height of the point where the seat is released, regarding this point:
h₀ = 1.09 m -0.21 m = 0.88 m
⇒ U₀ = m*g*h₀ = 400 N*0.88 m = 352 J
As Uf = 0, ΔU = Uf -U₀ = -352 J
As the swing starts from rest, K₀=0, so we can say:
ΔK = Kf = 
(1)
As ΔK = -ΔU ⇒ ΔK = 352 J (2)
From (1) and (2) we can solve for vf, as follows:
So, when the swing passes through its lowest position, Betty moves at 4.15 m/s.
