A car with mass 950 kg and a speed of 16 m/s approaches an intersection. A 1300 kg minivan traveling at 21 m/s is heading for th

e same intersection in a direction perpendicular to the first car. The car and minivan collide and stick together. Find the speed and direction of the wrecked vehicles just after the collision, assuming external forces can be ignored.

Answer:

V_f = 13.8863 \angle 60.89\°

Explanation:

Our values are,

m_1 = 950Kg\\v_1 = 16m/s \\m_2 =1300Kg\\v_2 = 21m/s

We have all the values to apply the law of linear momentum, however, it is necessary to define the two lines in which the study will be carried out. Being an intersection the vehicle of mass m_1 approaches through the X axis, while the vehicle of mass m_2 approaches by the y axis. In the collision equation on the X axis, we despise the velocity of object 2, since it does not come in this direction.

m_1v_1=(m_1+m_2)v_fcos\theta

For the particular case on the Y axis, we do the same with the speed of object 1.

m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_fsin\theta

By taking a final velocity as a component, we can obtain the angle between the two by relating the equations through the tangent

Tan\theta = \frac{m_2v_2}{m_1v_1}\\Tan\theta = \frac{1300*21}{950*16}\\\theta = tan^{-1}(1.7960)\\\theta = 60.89\°

Replacing in any of the two functions, given above, we will find the final speed after the collision,

(950)(16)=(950+1300)V_fcos(60.89)

V_f= \frac{(950)(16)}{(950+1300)cos(60.89)}

V_f = 13.8863 \angle 60.89\°

What is the magnitude of the acceleration vector which causes a particle to move from velocity −5i−2j m/s to −6i+ 7j m/s in 8 se
shusha [124]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=\dfrac{1}{8}(-i+9j)\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Initial velocity of a particle in vector form, u = (-5i - 2j) m/s

Final velocity of particle in vector form, v = (-6i + 7j) m/s

Time taken, t = 8 seconds

We need to find the magnitude of acceleration vector. The changing of velocity w.r.t time is called acceleration of a particle. It is given by :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{(-6i+7j)\ m/s-(-5i-2j)\ m/s}{8\ s}    

a=\dfrac{(-i+9j)}{8\ s}\ m/s^2    

or

a=\dfrac{1}{8}(-i+9j)\ m/s^2

Hence, the value of acceleration vector is solved.

Pls someone I need it urgently and explain Solving and explanation so I can understand Thank you

Answer:

   f = 6.37 Hz,       T = 0.157 s

Explanation:

The expression you have is

       y = 5 sin (3x - 40t)

this is the equation of a traveling wave, the general form of the expression is

      y = A sin (kx - wt)

where A is the amplitude of the motion, k the wave vector and w the angular velocity

Angle velocity and frequency are related

         w = 2π f

         f = w / 2π

from the equation w = 40 rad / s

        f = 40 / 2π

        f = 6.37 Hz

frequency and period are related

       f = 1 / T

       T = 1 / f

       T = 1 / 6.37

       T = 0.157 s
