Answer:

Velocity of center of mass must be ZERO

Explanation:

As we know that two cars are moving on friction-less surface

So here we can say that on the system of cars there is no external force along x direction

So we can say that

F_{net} = \frac{dP_{cm}}{dt}

so here if net force is zero

\frac{dP_{cm}}{dt} = 0

P_{cm} = constant

since finally the two cars comes to rest so here final velocity of center of mass of two cars will be zero and hence it will be always zero as there is no force on the system of two cars

8. An airplane is flying at 200 m/s when it touches the ground at the airport. It has a constant negative acceleration, and slow
Temka [501]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity u = 200m/s

Final velocity = 4m/s

Distance S = 4000m

Required

Acceleration

Substitute the given parameters into the formula

v² = u²+2as

4² = 200²+2a(4000)

16 = 40000+8000a

8000a = 16-40000

8000a = -39,984

a = - 39,984/8000

a = -4.998m/s²

Hence the acceleration is -4.998m/s²

A car slows down uniformly from a speed of 30.0 m/s to rest in 7.20 s
Ede4ka [16]

When acceleration is constant, the average velocity is given by

\bar v=\dfrac{v+v_0}2

where v and v_0 are the final and initial velocities, respectively. By definition, we also have that the average velocity is given by

\bar v=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{x-x_0}{t-t_0}

where x,x_0 are the final/initial displacements, and t,t_0 are the final/initial times, respectively.

Take the car's starting position to be at t_0=0\,\mathrm s. Then

\dfrac{v+v_0}2=\dfrac{x-x_0}t\implies x=x_0+\dfrac12(v+v_0)t

So we have

x=0\,\mathrm m+\dfrac12\left(0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+30.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(7.20\,\mathrm s)=108\,\mathrm m

You also could have first found the acceleration using the equation

v=v_0+at

then solve for x via

x=x_0+v_0t+\dfrac12at^2

but that would have involved a bit more work, and it turns out we didn't need to know the precise value of a anyway.

slega [8]

Answer:

Part a)

v = -(8.33\hat j + 9.33\hat i)\times 10^6 m/s

Part b)

E = 4.4 \times 10^{-13} J

Explanation:

As per momentum conservation we know that there is no external force on this system so initial and final momentum must be same

So we will have

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 + m_3v_3 = 0

(5 \times 10^{-27})(6 \times 10^6\hat j) + (8.4 \times 10^{-27})(4 \times 10^6\hat i) + (3.6 \times 10^{-27}) v = 0

(30\hat j + 33.6\hat i)\times 10^6 + 3.6 v = 0

v = -(8.33\hat j + 9.33\hat i)\times 10^6 m/s

Part b)

By equation of kinetic energy we have

E = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_3v_3^2

E = \frac{1}{2}(5 \times 10^{-27})(6\times 10^6)^2 + \frac{1}{2}(8.4 \times 10^{-27})(4 \times 10^6)^2 + \frac{1}{2}(3.6 \times 10^{-27})(8.33^2 + 9.33^2) \times 10^{12}

E = 9\times 10^{-14} + 6.72 \times 10^{-14} + 2.82\times 10^{-13}

E = 4.4 \times 10^{-13} J

You are working as a summer intern for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and are assigned to some initial work
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

1) Pressure acting on the plug = Patm + P

Pressure = Patm + rho*g*h (Here h = D2)

Pressure = 101325 + 1000*9.8*7

Pressure = 169925 Pa

so, Force = PA

Force = 169925*pi*0.0152

Force = 120.1 N
