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.

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

when a circular plate of metal is heated in an oven, its radius increases at .03 cm/min, at what rate is the area increasing whe
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Rate of change of area will be 9.796cm^2/min

Explanation:

We have given rate of change of radius \frac{dr}{dt}=0.03cm/min

Radius of the circular plate r = 52 cm

Area is given by A=\pi r^2

So \frac{dA}{dt}=2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}

Puting the value of r and \frac{dr}{dt}

\frac{dA}{dt}=2\times 3.14\times 52\times 0.03=9.796cm^2/min

So rate of change of area will be 9.796cm^2/min

when 10 similar coins are dropped into a graduated cylinder from 75 ml to 100ml. what is average volume of each coin?​
Alex787 [66]

Explanation:

Volume of 10 coins = 100ml - 75ml = 25ml

Volume of 1 coin = 25ml / 10 = 2.5ml

The average volume of each coin is 2.5ml.

A light, a heater, and a hair dryer were all running in the bathroom at the same time. Suddenly, they all turn off. After all, t
Ratling [72]
Well depending on what current the heater pulls im going to assume about 13, and 13A for the hair dryer, thats 26A on the 40A circuit.
I dont see how a lightbulb could overload the circuit. 

Anyway, assuming the circuit is overloaded by some really big heater- the circuit would trip, the fuse would go and remain off. Most houses are fitted with seperate circuits for lights and sockets, so the light may remain on depending on the breaker board. - the reason for them all being able to run with the sudden overload may be due to a surge.

One solution to this is not to put such a large heater on the circuit with other appliances. 

Another may be to dry your hair in the dark
