Answer:

The speed of the combined vehicles is 6.82m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum which stayed that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to their sum of momentum after collision. After collision, both object moves with the same velocity.

Momentum = mass×velocity

Before collision:

Momentum of vehicle or mass 3000kg moving with velocity 25m/s

= 3000×25

= 75000kgm/s

Pa = 75000kgm/s

Momentum of vehicle with mass 2500kg moving with velocity of -15m/s

= 2500×-15

= -37500kgm/s

After collision:

Momentum = (3000+2500)V

Where v is their common velocity

Momentum after collision = 5500V

Based on the law:

75000+(-37500) = 5500V

75000-37500 = 5500V

37500 = 5500V

V = 37500/5500

V = 6.82m/s

Dimas [21]

Greater the collision

Explanation:

The greater the speed of gas particles in the containers, the greater the collision of gases with the container and between themselves.

  • The speed of gas molecules increases when their kinetic energy increases.
  • This causes a surge in collision between the particles and the wall of the container.
  • A gas is composed of large number of molecules moving at different speeds.
  • When the temperature of gases are increased, they gain more kinetic energy and their speed will increase.
  • This leads to an increase in effective collision between gas particles.

A 0.046 kg golf ball hit by a driver can accelerate from rest to 67 m/s in 1 ms while the driver is in contact with the ball. Ho
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Average force = 67 mn

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity u = 0 m/s

Final velocity v = 67 m/s

Time t = 1 ms = 0.001 sec.

Computation:

Using Momentum theory

Change in momentum  = F × Δt

 (v-u)/t =  F × Δt

F × 0.001 = (67 - 0)/0.001

F= 67,000,000

Average force = 67 mn

An electron in the beam of a cathod-ray tube is accelerated by a potential difference of 2.12 kV . Then it passes through a regi
son4ous [18]

Answer:

B=9.1397*10^-4 Tesla

Explanation:

To find the velocity first we put kinetic energy og electron is equal to potential energy of electron

K.E=P.E

\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}  =e*V

where :

m is the mass of electron

v is the velocity

V is the potential difference

v=\sqrt{\frac{2*e*V}{m} }    eq 1

Radius of electron moving in magnetic field is given by:

R=\frac{m*v}{q*B}       eq 2

where:

m is the mass of electron

v is the velocity

q=e=charge of electron

B is the magnitude of magnetic field

Put v from eq 1 into eq 2

R=\frac{m*\sqrt{\frac{2*e*V}{m} } }{e B}

B=\sqrt{\frac{2*m*V}{e*R^{2} } }

B=\sqrt{\frac{2*(9.31*10^{-31})*(2.12*10^{3})  }{(1.60*10^{-19})*(0.170)^{2}  } }

B=9.1397*10^-4 Tesla
