Bill forgets to put his car in park and it starts rolling west. When it is moving at a speed of 3.5 m/s, it collides with Tanya'

s car, which is moving at a speed of 2m/s east. Bill's car bounces backward (to the east) at a speed of 2 m/s. Bill's car has a mass of 900 kg, and Tanya's car has a mass of 1100 kg.
a. What is the total momentum of the system before collision?

b. What is the total momentum of the system after the collision?

c, What is the velocity of Tanya's car after the collision?

a) Simply add the momentum but remember that velocities in opposite directions have opposite signs. West direction is positive, east - negative.

p = 900*3.5 + 1100*(-2) = 950 kg*m/s.

b) After the collision (thanks to the law of conservation of momentum) the momentum is still 950 kg*m/s

c) Since the total momentum is the same (950), but something inside changed, write

950 = 900*(-2)+1100*u, so solve it

u=2.5 m/s. Positive sign means that Tanya's car goes west.

PART A)

momentum of Bill's car

mass = 900 kg

speed = 3.5 m/s towards west

so momentum of this car given as

P_1 = 900(3.5) = 3150 kg m/s

Similarly momentum of Tanya's car

mass = 1100 kg

speed = 2 m/s towards East

so momentum will be

P_2 = 1100(2) = 2200 kg m/s

Total momentum of both cars will be

P = 3150 -2200 = 950 kg m/s Towards west

PART B)

Since there is no external force on the system of two cars

So here total momentum of both cars will remains conserved

So final momentum of two cars will be same as initial momentum

P = 950 kg m/s towards west

Part C)

final momentum of Bills car

P_1 = (900)(2) = 1800 kg m/s Towards East

now we have

P_1 + P_2 = 950

1100 v - 1800 = 950

v = 2.5 m/s towards west

You have 1.2kg of (AU)gold (that's quite a bit of money at $1839/ounce). Using a heat source you apply 3096 J to the gold and re
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

129 J/Kg°C

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of gold, m = 1.2kg

Quantity of heat applied, Q = 3096 J

Temperature, t2 = 40°C

Temperature, t1 = 20°C

Change in temperature, dt = (40-20)°C = 20°C

Using the relation :

Q = mcdt

Where, C = specific heat capacity of gold

3096 = 1.2kg * C * 20°C

3096 J = 24kg°C * C

C = 3096 J / 24 kg°C

C = 129 J/Kg°C

A mass is oscillating with amplitude A at the end of a spring.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

A) x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}

The total energy of the system is equal to the maximum elastic potential energy, that is achieved when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (x=A):

E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2 (1)

where k is the spring constant.

The total energy, which is conserved, at any other point of the motion is the sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy:

E=U+K=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2 (2)

where x is the displacement, m the mass, and v the speed.

We want to know the displacement x at which the elastic potential energy is 1/3 of the kinetic energy:

U=\frac{1}{3}K

Using (2) we can rewrite this as

U=\frac{1}{3}(E-U)=\frac{1}{3}E-\frac{1}{3}U\\U=\frac{E}{4}

And using (1), we find

U=\frac{E}{4}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}kA^2}{4}=\frac{1}{8}kA^2

Substituting U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 into the last equation, we find the value of x:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{8}kA^2\\x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}

B) x=\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}A

In this case, the kinetic energy is 1/10 of the total energy:

K=\frac{1}{10}E

Since we have

K=E-U

we can write

E-U=\frac{1}{10}E\\U=\frac{9}{10}E

And so we find:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{9}{10}(\frac{1}{2}kA^2)=\frac{9}{20}kA^2\\x^2 = \frac{9}{10}A^2\\x=\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}A
