Two automobiles traveling at right angles to each other collide and stick together. Car A has a mass of 1200 kg and had a speed

of 25 m/s before the collision. Car B has a mass of 1600 kg. The skid marks show that, immediately after the collision, the wreckage was moving in a direction making an angle of 40° with the original direction of car A. What was the speed of car B before the collision, assuming that any other unbalanced forces are negligible?

Answer:

v_{B0}=15.73 m/s

Explanation:

We can use the conservation of momentum. The initial momentum is equal to the final momentum:

x-coordinate

p_{0x}=p_{fx}

m_{A}v_{A0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{cx}  

m_{A}v_{A0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{c}cos(40) (1)

y-coordinate

p_{0y}=p_{fy}

m_{B}v_{B0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{cy}  

m_{B}v_{B0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{c}sin(40) (2)

We can divide equations (2) and (1):

\frac{m_{B}v_{B0}}{m_{A}v_{A0}}=\frac{sin(40)}{cos(40)}

\frac{m_{B}v_{B0}}{m_{A}v_{A0}}=tan(40)

v_{B0}=\frac{m_{A}v_{A0}}{m_{B}}*tan(40)

v_{B0}=\frac{1200*25}{1600}*tan(40)

v_{B0}=15.73 m/s

I hope it helps you!

Answer:

The speed of car b before collision is 15.72 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of car a= 1200 kg

Speed = 25 m/s

Mass of car b = 1600 kg

moving in a direction making an angle of 40°

We need to calculate the speed of car b before the collision

Using conservation of momentum

Horizontal momentum,

P_{i}=P_{f}m_{1}v_{1}=(m_{1}+m_{2})\times v\cos\theta

substitute the value into the formula

1200\times25=(1200+1600)v\times\cos40v=\dfrac{1200\times25}{2800\times\cos40}v=13.98\ m/s

Vertical momentum,

P_{i}=P_{f}m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})\times v\sin\theta

substitute the value into the formula

1600\times v=(1200+1600)\times13.98\times\sin40\\v_{2}=\dfrac{2800\times13.98\sin40}{1600}\\v_{2}=15.72\ m/s

Thus, The speed of car b before collision is 15.72 m/s

A magnetic field is entering into a coil of wire with radius of 2(mm) and 200 turns. The direction of magnetic field makes an an
frozen [14]

Answer:

a) <em>2.278 x 10^-5 volts</em>

b) <em>1.139 x 10^-6 Ampere</em>

c) <em>2.59 x 10^-11 W</em>

Explanation:

The radius of the wire r = 2 mm = 0.002 m

the number of turns N = 200 turns

direction of the magnetic field ∅ = 25°

magnetic field strength B = 0.02 T

varying time = 2 sec

The cross sectional area of the wire = \pi r^{2}

==> A = 3.142 x 0.002^{2} = 1.257 x 10^-5 m^2

Field flux Φ = BA cos ∅ = 0.02 x 1.257 x 10^-5 x cos 25°

==> Φ = 2.278 x 10^-7 Wb

The induced EMF is given as

E = NdΦ/dt

where dΦ/dt = (2.278 x 10^-7)/2 = 1.139 x 10^-7

E = 200 x 1.139 x 10^-7 = <em>2.278 x 10^-5 volts</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

b) If the two ends are connected to a resistor of 20 Ω, the current through the resistor is given as

I = E/R

where R is the resistor

I = (2.278 x 10^-5)/20 = <em>1.139 x 10^-6 Ampere</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em> </em>c) power delivered to the resistor is given as

P = IE

P = (1.139 x 10^-6) x (2.278 x 10^-5) = <em>2.59 x 10^-11 W</em>

The gravitational force is s type of force that has the ability to attract any two objects having mass. The gravitational force will be 4.16\times10^{23}.

<h3>What is the gravitational force?</h3>

The gravitational force is s type of force that has the ability to attract any two objects with mass. Gravitational force tries to pull two masses towards each other.

                      F= G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^{2} }

Given,

mass of the sun (m_1)= 1.99\times10^{23} kg

mass of Jupiter(m_2)= 7.79\times10^{8} kg

distance between the sun and Jupiter (r)= 1.90\times10^{27} m

F= G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^{2} }\\\\\\F=4.16\times10^{23}\times\frac{1.99\times10^{23}\times7.79\times10^{8}}{({1.90\times10^{27})^2} }

F= 4.16\times(10)^{23}   Newton

Hence the gravitational force between the sun and Jupiter will be 4.16\times10^{23}

In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

Explanation:

The alpha particle will be deflected when its kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy

Charge of the alpha particle q₁= 2 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Charge of the gold nucleus q₂= 79 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C

Kinetic energy of  the alpha particle = 5.28 × 10⁶ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ( 1 eV)

=  8.459 × 10⁻¹³

k electrostatic force constant = 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c²

Kinetic energy = potential energy =   k q₁q₂ / r where r is the closest distance the alpha particle got to the gold nucleus

r = (  9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c² × 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C) / 8.459 × 10⁻¹³

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m
