On a hot summer day, heat waves can be seen rising from the asphalt. What type of heat transfer do the heat waves demonstrate?

1 answer:

3 0

There are three types of heat transfer namely convection, conduction and radiation. For this situation, the heat waves seen from the asphalt is an example of heat transfer called radiation. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy by electromagnetic radiation. The heat from the sun absorbed by the asphalt is called the radiant energy which causes it to emit heat waves.

To understand how to find the velocities of objects after a collision.

trasher [3.6K]

There are some information missing on Part D: Let the mass of object 1 be m and the mass of object 2 be 3m. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, what are the velocities of the two objects after the collision? Give the velocity v_1 of object one, followed by object v_2 of object two, separated by a comma. Express each velocity in terms of v.

Answer: Part A: v_1 = 0; v_2 = v

Part B: v_1 = v_2 = $\frac{v}{2}$

Part C: v_1 = $\frac{v}{3}$ ; v_2 = $\frac{4v}{3}$

Part D: v_1 = v_2 = $\frac{v}{4}$

Explanation: In elastic collisions, there no loss of kinetic energy and momentum is conserved. Momentum is determined as p = m.v and kinetic energy as K = $\frac{1}{2}$ m. $v^{2}$

Conserved means that the amount of initial momentum is equal to the amount of final momentum:

$m_{1}$ . $v_{1i}$ + $m_{2}$ . $v_{2i}$ = $m_{1}.v_{1f} + m_{2}.v_{2f}$

No loss of energy means that initial kinietc energy is the same as the final kinetic energy:

$\frac{1}{2}(m_{1}.v_{1i} + m_{2}.v_{2i}) = \frac{1}{2} (m_{1}.v_{1f} + m_{2}.v_{2f} )$

To determine the final velocities of each object, there are 2 variables and two equations, so working those equations, the result is:

$v_{2f} = \frac{2.m_{1} } {m_{1} + m_{2} }.v_{1i} + \frac{(m_{2} - m_{1})}{m_{1} + m_{2} } . v_{2i}$

$v_{1f} = \frac{m_{2} - m_{1} }{m_{1} + m_{2} } . v_{1i} + \frac{2.m_{2} }{m_{1} + m_{2} } .v_{2i}$

For all the collisions, object 2 is static, i.e. $v_{2i}$ = 0

Part A: Both objects have the same mass (m), $v_{1i}$ = v and collision is elastic:

v_1 = $\frac{m_{2} - m_{1}}{m_{1} + m_{2} } . v_{1i}$

v_1 = 0

v_2 = $\frac{2.m_{1} }{m_{1} + m_{2}}.v_{1i}$

v_2 = $\frac{2.m}{m+m}.v$

v_2 = v

When the masses are the same and there is an object at rest, the object in movement stops and the object at rest has the same same velocity as the object who hit it.

Part B: Same mass but collision is inelastic: An inelastic collision means that after it happens, the two objects has the same final velocity, then:

$m_{1}$ . $v_{1i}$ + $m_{2}$ . $v_{2i}$ = $m_{1}.v_{1f} + m_{2}.v_{2f}$

$m_{1}.v_{1i} = (m_{1}+m_{2}).v_{f}$

$v_{f} = \frac{m_{1}.v_{1i}}{m_{1} + m_{2} }$

v_1 = v_2 = $\frac{m.v}{m+m}$

v_1 = v_2 = $\frac{v}{2}$

Part C: Object 1 is 2m, object 2 is m and elastic collision:

v_1 = $\frac{m_{2} - m_{1}}{m_{1} + m_{2} } . v_{1i}$

v_1 = $\frac{2m - m}{2m + m } . v$

v_1 = $\frac{v}{3}$

v_2 = $\frac{2.m_{1} }{m_{1} + m_{2}}.v_{1i}$

v_2 = $\frac{2.2m}{2m+m}.v$

v_2 = $\frac{4v}{3}$

Part D: Object 1 is m, object is 3m and collision is inelastic:

v_1 = v_2 = $v_{f} = \frac{m_{1}.v_{1i}}{m_{1} + m_{2} }$

v_1 = v_2 = $\frac{m}{m+3m}.v$

v_1 = v_2 = $\frac{v}{4}$

A lemon with mass 0.3 kg falls out of a tree from a height of 1.8 m. How much mechanical energy does the lemon have just before

Zina [86]

Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. It can either be kinetics or potential. In this problem you know it starting position so you can calculate it's potential energy (PE):

PE=mass∗gravity∗height=0.3kg∗9.8m/s2∗1.8m=?

The answer will typically be given in joules:

1J=kg∗m2s2 Could be wrong... But I believe it is 5.3...? as a final product.

A car passes point “A” and then 120 meters later. It’s velocity was measured 21 m/s. If it’s acceleration was constant at 0.853

Norma-Jean [14]

Recall that

${v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x$

where $v_i$ and $v_f$ are the initial and final velocities, respecitvely; $a$ is the acceleration; and $\Delta x$ is the change in position.

So we have

$\left(21\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-{v_i}^2=2\left(0.853\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(120\,\mathrm m)$

$\implies v_i\approx\boxed{15.4\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}$

(Normally, this equation has two solutions, but we omit the negative one because the car is moving in one direction.)

A space station in the shape of a 100 m-diameter (50m radius) wheel is spinning so as to impart a linear tangential speed of 22.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

correct option is b. 31.3 m/s

Explanation:

given data

artificial gravity a1 = 1 g

artificial gravity a2 = 2 g

diameter = 100 m

radius r= 50 m

speed v1 = 22.1 m/s

solution

As acceleration is ∝ v²

so we can say

$\frac{a2}{a1} = \frac{v2}{v1}$ .....................1

put here value

$\frac{2}{1} = \frac{v2}{22.1}$

solve it

v2 = $\sqrt{2 }$ × 22.1

v2 = 31.25 m/s

so correct option is b. 31.3 m/s

(1) In nondestructive testing, a discontinuity may be defined as an interruption in the normal physical structure or configurati

QveST [7]

Answer: BOTH ARE TRUE

Explanation: Nondestructive testing or Evaluation is a term used in the field of science and technology to describe the evaluations, analysis or testing carried out on components of materials without destroying any part or components of the test materials. It is very useful in scientific research or industrial engineering environments. When any disruption of physical structure or configuration of a component will lead to discontinuing of the test, and it may not affect the usefulness of the affected parts.
