A dump truck and a little toy matchbox car have the same velocity. which one has the greater momentum?

1 answer:

4 0

That would be the dump truck. Momentum depends on how heavy a certain object is in motion. The more weight it has the harder it is to stop.

Complete Question:

In the "before" part of Fig. 9-60, car A (mass 1100 kg) is stopped at a traffic light when it is rear-ended by car B (mass 1400 kg). Both cars then slide with locked wheels until the frictional force from the slick road (with a low ?k of 0.15) stops them, at distances dA = 6.1 m and dB = 4.4 m. What are the speeds of (a) car A and (b) car B at the start of the sliding, just after the collision? (c) Assuming that linear momentum is conserved during the collision, find the speed of car B just before the collision.

Answer:

a) Speed of car A at the start of sliding = 4.23 m/s

b) speed of car B at the start of sliding = 3.957 m/s

c) Speed of car B before the collision = 7.28 m/s

Explanation:

NB: The figure is not provided but all the parameters needed to solve the question have been given.

Let the frictional force acting on car A, $f_{ra} = \mu mg\\$ ............(1)

Since frictional force is a type of force, we are safe to say $f_{ra} = ma$ .......(2)

Equating (1) and (2)

$ma = \mu mg\\a = \mu g\\\mu = 0.15\\a = 0.15 * 9.8 = 1.47 m/s^{2}$

a) Speed of A at the start of the sliding

$d_{A} = 6.1 m\\Speed of A at the start of sliding, v_{A} = \sqrt{2ad_{A} }\\ v_{A} = \sqrt{2*1.47*6.1 } \\v_{A} = \sqrt{17.934 } \\v_{A} = 4.23 m/s$

b) Speed of B at the start of the sliding

$d_{A} = 4.4 m\\Speed of A at the start of sliding, v_{B} = \sqrt{2ad_{B} }\\ v_{B} = \sqrt{2*1.47*4.4 } \\v_{B} = \sqrt{12.936 } \\v_{B} = 3.957 m/s$

Let the speed of car B before collision = $v_{B1}$

Momentum of car B before collision = $m_{B} v_{B1}$

Momentum after collision = $m_{A} v_{A} + m_{B} v_{B2}$

Applying the law of conservation of momentum:

$m_{B} v_{B1} = m_{A} v_{A} +m_{B} v_{B2}$

$m_{A} = 1100 kg\\m_{B} = 1400 kg$

$(1400*v_{B1} ) = (1100 * 4.23) + ( 1400 * 3.957)\\(1400*v_{B1} ) = 10192.8\\v_{B1} = 10192.8/1400\\v_{B1 = 7.28 m/s$

Comparing sound waves with different frequencies and wavelengths traveling through air,

aleksklad [387]

Explanation:

The speed of sound wave only depends on the property of the medium like density and the bulk modulus of the medium particle. The speed of sound also depends on the temperature of the medium.

On comparing sound waves with different frequencies and wavelengths traveling through air, the speed of the wave doesn’t depend on the frequency or the wavelength. Hence, the correct option is (1).
