Nate the Skate was an avid physics student whose main non-physics interest in life was high-speed skateboarding. In particular,

Nate would often don a protective suit of Bounce-Tex, which he invented, and after working up a high speed on his skateboard, would collide with some object. In this way, he got a gut feel for the physical properties of collisions and succeeded in combining his two passions. On one occasion, the Skate, with a mass of 129 kg, including his armor, hurled himself against an 831 kg stationary statue of Isaac Newton in a perfectly elastic linear collision. As a result, Isaac started moving at 1.29 m/s and Nate bounced backward. What were Nate's speeds immediately before and after the collision? Ignore friction with the ground. Choose the correct option;
(a) before collision: 4.8m/sAfter Collision: 1.29m/s
(b) before collision: 2.8m/sAfter Collision: 2.29m/s
(c) before collision: 3.8m/sAfter Collision: 3.29m/s
(d) before collision: 5.8m/sAfter Collision: 1.29m/s

Answer:

v_{1i} = 4.8 m/s

v_{1f} = 3.51 m/s

Explanation:

Since the collision is perfectly elastic collision so here we can use momentum conservation

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

so we will have

129 v_{1i} + 0 = 129(-v_{1f}) + 831(1.29)

v_{1i} + v_{1f} = 8.31

also by elastic collision property we will have

1.29 + v_{1f} = v_{1i}

now from above two equations we have

v_{1i} = 4.8 m/s

v_{1f} = 3.51 m/s

Newton’s 2nd law states that Force is equal to the product of mass (m) and acceleration (a):

F = m a                                  ---> 1

While in magnetic forces, force can also be expressed as:

F = q v B                               ---> 2

where,

q = total charge

v = velocity = 45 cm / s = 0.45 m / s

B = the magnetic field = 85 T

First we solve for the total charge, q:

q = 3.8 × 10^-23 g (1 mol / 23 g) (6.022 × 10^23 electrons / mol) (1.602 × 10^-19 C / electron)

q = 1.594 × 10^-19 C

 

We equate equations 1 and 2 then solve for acceleration a:

m a = q v B

a = q v B / m

a = [1.594 × 10^-19 C * 0.45 m / s * 85 T] / 3.8 × 10-26 kg

a = 160,437,862.2 m/s^2

 

Therefore the maximum acceleration of Na ions is about 160 × 10^6 m/s^2.

#2 A car accelerates from rest at 4 m/s^2. What is the velocity of the car after 4 second?
solmaris [256]
You use the equation Velocity = Acceleration X Time. 4x4=16m/s.


The car travels 18m in 3 seconds.

Of the three forces acting on the rock as it slides down the bowl, which (if any) are constant and which are not? explain.
choli [55]

Answer

Hi,

The forces are; weight (gravity), Normal/centripetal force and friction. Force due to gravity is constant where as friction and centripetal are not.

Explanation

Weight is constant, given by the force of gravity on the object. The centripetal force is a function of the angles occurring between the velocity vector and the weight vector that is at right angle with the perpendicular line drawn from the surface. Friction is a function of the centripetal force thus it also varies.

Hope this helps!

Write an expression for a transverse harmonic wave that has a wavelength of 2.5 m and propagates to the right with a speed of 13
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

y = 0.14 Cos\left ( 2.512x-34.66t \right )

Explanation:

wavelength, λ = 2.5 m

speed, v = 13.8 m/s

Amplitude, A = 0.14 m

The general equation of the transverse harmonic wave which is travelling right is given by

y = A Sin\left ( \frac{2\pi }{\lambda } (x - vt)+\phi \right  )

where, Ф is phase

At t = 0, x = 0 , y = 0.14 m

0.14 = 0.14 Sin Ф

Ф = π/2

So, the equation is

y = 0.14Sin\left ( \frac{2\pi }{2.5 } (x - 13.8t)+\frac{\pi }{2} \right  )

y = 0.14 Cos\left ( 2.512x-34.66t \right )
