A car of mass 1500 kg travels due East with a constant speed of 25.0 m/s. Eventually it turns right, and travels due South with

a constant speed of 15 m/s. By making the turn, and reducing its speed, the car’s linear momentum changed. What was the direction of the car’s change in linear momentum? Give a numerical answer that is an angle, with a qualifier such as North-of-East, or West-of-North, etc

Answer:

The direction of the car’s change in linear momentum is 149.04° West of North

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the product of mass of a body and its velocity

Momentum = mass × velocity

Change in Momentum = mass × change in velocity

∆P = m∆v

∆P = m(v-u)

Given m = 1500kg

v = 25m/s

u = 15m/s

∆P = 1500(25-15)

∆P = 1500×10

∆P = 15,000kgm/s

Since the car first travels due East i.e +x direction

x = 25m/s

Travelling due south is negative y direction

y = -15m/s

Direction of the car change

θ = tan^-1(y/x)

θ = tan^-1(-15/25)

θ = tan^-1(-0.6)

θ = -30.96°

Since tan is negative in the second quadrant

θ = 180-30.96

θ = 149.04°

The direction of the car’s change in linear momentum is 149.04° West of North

Two different simple harmonic oscillators have the same natural frequency (f=8.80 Hz) when they are on the surface of the Earth.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

8.80 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a loaded spring is given by

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

where k and m are the spring constant and the mass of the load respectively. The values of these do not change because they are internal properties of the components of the system.

Hence, the frequency of the vertical spring mass does not change and is 8.80 Hz.

On the other hand, the frequency of the simple pendulum is affected because it is given by

$\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{l}}$

where g and l are acceleration due to gravity and length of the pendulum, respectively. It is thus seen that it depends on g, which changes with location. In fact, the new frequency is given by

$f_2 = 8.80\sqrt{\dfrac{1.67}{9.81}}=3.63 \text{ Hz}$

How does the direction of acceleration compare with the direction of the net force that produces it

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The direction of the acceleration is in the same direction as the net force causing it. F = ma is actually a vector equation in which f and a are both vectors and m is a scalar constant.

1-A car moves toward east 12km is represented as A and it turns towards south 16km is represented as B. What is the resultant ve

hjlf

1. A-20 km south east

The car's displacement consists of two components into two different directions. Using a system of coordinates in which x represents the east direction and y represents the south direction, the two displacements are:

$d_x = 12 km$ east

$d_y = 16 km$ south

Since the two components are orthogonal to each other, we can find the resultant displacement by using Pythagorean's theorem:

$d=\sqrt{d_x^2+d_y^2}=\sqrt{(12 km)^2+(16 km)^2}=\sqrt{400}=20 km$

and the direction is between the two original directions, so south-east.

2. D. 10 m/s

First of all, we need to calculate the total time the stone took to hit the ground. Since the vertical distance covered is S = 78.4 m, and since the motion is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2, we have

$S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

From which we find the total time of the fall, t:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(78.4 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=4 s$

Now we can consider the horizontal motion of the stone: we know that the stone travels for d = 40 m in a time of t = 4 s, therefore the horizontal velocity of the stone is

$v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{40 m}{4 s}=10 m/s$

3. B=32.32 m

As in the previous problem, we have to calculate the total time it takes for the stone to reach the river first. Since the vertical distance covered is S = 20 m, we have

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(20 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=2.0 s$

And since the stone is traveling horizontally at v = 16 m/s, the horizontal distance covered is

$d=vt=(16 m/s)(2 s)=32 m$

So, the closest answer is B.
