A car (mass = 1200 kg) is traveling at 31.1 m/s when it collides head-on with a sport utility vehicle (mass = 2830 kg) traveling

in the opposite direction. In the collision, the two vehicles come to a halt. At what speed was the sport utility vehicle traveling?

Answer:

13.18 m/s

Explanation:

Let the velocity of sports utility car is

-u as it is moving in opposite direction.

mc = 1200 kg, uc = 31.1 m/s

ms = 2830 kg, us = - u = ?

Using conservation of momentum

mc × uc + ms × us = 0

1200 × 31.1 - 2830 × u = 0

u = 13.18 m/s

Which feature of a heating curve indicates a change of state?
Andreas93 [3]
A "heating curve" is a graph that shows the temperature of the substance
against the amount of heat you put into it.

For most of the graph, as you'd expect, the temperature goes up as you
add heat, and it goes down as you take heat away.  BUT ... While the
substance is changing state, its temperature doesn't change even though
you're putting heat in or taking heat out.

So that part of the graph is a horizontal line.

Answer:

serie Ceq=0.678 10⁻⁶ F  and the charge Q = 9.49 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

Let's calculate all capacity values

a) The equivalent capacitance of series capacitors

    1 / Ceq = 1 / C1 + 1 / C2 + 1 / C3 + 1 / C4 + 1 / C5

    1 / Ceq = 1 / 1.5 + 1 / 3.3 + 1 / 5.5 + 1 / 6.2 + 1 / 6.2

    1 / Ceq = 1 / 1.5 + 1 / 3.3 + 1 / 5.5 + 2 / 6.2

    1 / Ceq = 0.666 + 0.3030 +0.1818 +0.3225

    1 / Ceq = 1,147

    Ceq = 0.678 10⁻⁶ F

b) Let's calculate the total system load

   Dv = Q / Ceq

   Q = DV Ceq

   Q = 14 0.678 10⁻⁶

   Q = 9.49 10⁻⁶ C

In a series system the load is constant in all capacitors, therefore, the load in capacitor 5.5 is Q = 9.49 10⁻⁶ C

c) The potential difference

   ΔV = Q / C5

   ΔV = 9.49 10⁻⁶ / 5.5 10⁻⁶

   ΔV = 1,725 ​​V

d) The energy stores is

    U = ½ C V²

    U = ½ 0.678 10-6 14²

    U = 66.4 10⁻⁶ J

e) Parallel system

   Ceq = C1 + C2 + C3 + C4 + C5

   Ceq = (1.5 +3.3 +5.5 +6.2 +6.2) 10⁻⁶

   Ceq = 22.7 10⁻⁶ F

f) In the parallel system the voltage is maintained

   Q5 = C5 V

   Q5 = 5.5 10⁻⁶ 14

   Q5 = 77 10⁻⁶ C

g) The voltage is constant V5 = 14 V

h) Energy stores

   U = ½ C V²

   U = ½ 22.7 10-6 14²

   U = 2.2 10⁻³ J

T-Joe (65 kg) is running at 3 m/s. T-Brud (50 kg) is running at 4 m/s. What would be T-Joe's momentum?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

P_J=195N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass\ of T-joe\ M_J=65\\Velocity\ of T-joe\ V_J=3m/s\\Mass of\ T-Brud\ M_B=50kg\\Velocity\ of T-Brud\ V_B=3m/s\\

Generally the equation for momentum is mathematically given by

P=mv

Therefore

T-Joe momentum P_J

P_J=65*3

P_J=195N
