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

Work of 5 Joules is done in stretching a spring from its natural length to 19 cm beyond its natural length. What is the force (i
densk [106]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

5J work is done by stretching a spring

e = 19cm = 0.19m

Assuming the spring is ideal, then we can apply Hooke's law

F = kx

To calculate k, we can apply the Workdone by a spring formula

W=∫F.dx

Since F=kx

W = ∫kx dx from x = 0 to x = 0.19

W = ½kx² from x = 0 to x = 0.19

W = ½k (0.19²-0²)

5 = ½k(0.0361-0)

5×2 = 0.0361k

Then, k = 10/0.0361

k = 277.008 N/m

The spring constant is 277.008N/m

Then, applying Hooke's law to find the applied force

F = kx

F = 277.008 × 0.19

F = 52.63 N

The applied force is 52.63N

An Austin volleyball player bumps a 5 kg ball into the air. It reaches a height of 2.8 meters. How fast was the ball going as it
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

v = 7.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass if a volleyball, m = 5 kg

The ball reaches a height of 2.8 m

We need to find how fast the ball is going as it bumped into the air. Ket the velocity is v. Using the conservation of energy to find it as follows :

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2.8} \\\\=7.4\ m/s

So, the required speed is 7.4 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (b).

When a condenser discharges electricity, the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the c
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

460.52 s

Explanation:

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the condenser, we have that

dV/dt ∝ V

dV/dt = kV

separating the variables, we have

dV/V = kdt

integrating both sides, we have

∫dV/V = ∫kdt

㏑(V/V₀) = kt

V/V₀ = e^{kt}

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is -0.01 of the voltage dV/dt = -0.01V

Since dV/dt = kV

-0.01V = kV

k = -0.01

So, V/V₀ = e^{-0.01t}

V = V₀e^{-0.01t}

Given that the voltage decreases by 90 %, we have that the remaining voltage (100 % - 90%)V₀ = 10%V₀ = 0.1V₀

So, V = 0.1V₀

Thus

V = V₀e^{-0.01t}

0.1V₀ = V₀e^{-0.01t}

0.1V₀/V₀ = e^{-0.01t}

0.1 = e^{-0.01t}

to find the time, t it takes the voltage to decrease by 90%, we taking natural logarithm of both sides, we have

㏑(0.01) = -0.01t

So, t = ㏑(0.01)/-0.01

t = -4.6052/-0.01

t = 460.52 s

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:0kgm/s

Explanation:

Momentum before collision=momentum after collision

Since the momentum of the two blocks have positive sign, it means they are moving in thesame direction

Therefore we use the formula

Momentum (A)+momentum (B)=Momentum (A)+momentum (B)

25+35=60+momentum (B)

60=60+momentum (B)

Momentum (B)=60-60

Momentum (B)=0kgm/s
