Two cars collide and come to a complete stop. where did all of their energy go?

Most of the energy will be absorbed by the materials that make up the cars, causing them to deform. The energy will also be converted into sound energy, causing a loud bang upon collision. Also, some energy will be converted to thermal energy, which will cause the cars to heat up slightly.

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Incomplete question

The complete question is

A Ferris wheel is a vertical, circular amusement ride with radius 6.0 m. Riders sit on seats that swivel to remain horizontal. The Ferris wheel rotates at a constant rate, going around once in 9.6 s. Consider a rider whose mass is 96 kg.

At the bottom of the ride, what is the rate of change of the rider's momentum?

Explanation:

Radius of wheel is 6m

Rider mass=96kg

He completes one revolution in 9.6s

Let get angular velocity (w)

1 Revolution =2πrad

θ=2πrad

w= θ/t

w=2π/9.6

w=0.654rad/s

Linear speed is give as

v=wr

v=0.654×6

v=3.93m/s

Centripetal acceleration a

a=rw²

a=6×0.654²

a=2.57m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81m/s²

According to Newton's second law of motion net force acting on the rider at the bottom of the ride is given by: the two force acting at the bottom is the normal and the weight of the rider

ΣF = ma

N-W=ma

N-mg=ma

N=ma+mg

N=m(a+g)

N=96(2.57+9.81)

N=1188.48 N

Therefore the rate of change of momentum at the bottom of the ride is 1188.48 N.

Describe the differences and similarities between an electromotor and a generator.
Effectus [21]

Differences:

An electrical motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy,where as a generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

The principle of a electric motor if there is a change of the magnetic field across a conductor  electrons are forced to move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field,where as in a generator if a charge is moving in a magnetic field, a force acts on the charge in a direction perpendicular to both the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field.

similarities:

Both electric motor and generator work on the magnetic effects of electric current.

Both have the armatures to rotate the loop.

three different-mass projectiles are launched at different angles of elevation from the top of a building. each particle has the
MrRa [10]

The correct option is b. The one with the lowest mass.

An object's kinetic energy is determined by

k=1/2mv^2

where

m is the object's mass.

v is the object's speed.

The three missiles in this puzzle have varying masses but the same beginning kinetic energy.

The three projectiles will all have the same kinetic energy when they hit the ground because mechanical energy is conserved, assuming there is no air resistance (because the potential energy that they have lost is the same, since they have been launched from the same height, and they reach the same final altitude, the ground).

hence,

K1=k2=k3

A square sheet of rubber has sides that are 20 cm long. What is the area of the square of rubber in cm squared?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

400cm^2

Explanation:

sides are 20cm long Area for a square is a squared

since all the lides are of equal length you can just choose one side.

20squared is 400

20 x 20 = 400cm squared

Hope this helps :)
