Two iron blocks are the same size. One block has a higher temperature than the other. Which describes the thermal energy of thes

e blocks?
A.Lower temperature means greater potential energy, which means the colder block has greater thermal energy.
B.Lower temperature means greater kinetic energy, which means the colder block has greater thermal energy.
C.Higher temperature means greater potential energy, which means the warmer block has greater thermal energy.
D.Higher temperature means greater kinetic energy, which means the warmer block has greater thermal energy.

suppose a car manufacturer tested its cars for front end collsion by hauling them up on a crane and dropping them from a certain

IRINA_888 [86]

Initial height: 66.5 m

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the principle of conservation of energy.

If we neglect air resistance, the total mechanical energy of the car is conserved during the fall, therefore we can write:

$K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f$

where :

$K_i = 0$ is the kinetic energy of the car at the top (it starts from rest)

$U_i = mgh$ is the gravitational potential energy of the car at the top, with:

m = the mass of the car

g = the acceleration of gravity

h = the heigth of the car

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ is the kinetic energy of the car just before hitting the ground, with

v = 130 km/h final speed of the car

$U_f = 0$ is the gravitational potential energy of the car at the bottom

Re-arranging the equation, we find

$mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

and we have:

$g=9.8 m/s^2\\v = 130 km/h = 36.1 m/s$

Solving for h, we find the initial height of the car:

$h=\frac{v^2}{2g}=\frac{36.1^2}{2(9.8)}=66.5 m$

bumper car A (281 kg) moving +2.82 m/s makes an elastic collision with bumper car B (209 kg) moving -1.72 m/s. what is the veloc

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The final velocity of the car A is -1.053 m/s.

Explanation:

For an elastic collision both the kinetic energy and the momentum of the system are conserved.

Let us call

$m_A$ = mass of car A;

$v_{A1}$ = the initial velocity of car A;

$v_{A2}$ = the final velocity of car A;

and

$m_B$ = mass of car B;

$v_{B1}$ = the initial velocity of car B;

$v_{B2}$ = the final velocity of car B.

Then, the law of conservation of momentum demands that

$m_Av_{A1}+m_Bv_{B1} =m_Av_{A2}+m_Bv_{B2}$

And the conservation of kinetic energy says that

$\dfrac{1}{2} m_Av_{A1}^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_Bv_{B1}^2=\dfrac{1}{2}m_Av_{A2}^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_Bv_{B2}^2$

These two equations are solved for final velocities $v_{A2}$ and $v_{B2}$ to give

$v_{A2} =\frac{m_A-m_B}{m_A+m_B} v_{A1}+\frac{2m_B}{m_A+m_B} v_{B1}$

$v_{B2} =\frac{2m_A}{m_A+m_B} v_{A1}+\frac{m_B-m_A}{m_A+m_B} v_{B1}$

by putting in the numerical values of the variables we get

$v_{A2} =\frac{281-209}{281+209} (2.82)+\frac{2*209}{281+209} (-1.72)$

$\boxed{v_{A2} = -1.05m/s}$

and

$v_{B2} =\frac{2*281}{281+209} (2.82)+\frac{209-281}{281+209} (-1.72)$

$\boxed{v_{B2} = 3.49m/s}$

Thus, the final velocity of the car A is -1.053 m/s and of car B is 3.49 m/s.
