A large body collides with a stationary small body from the rear end. How do the bodies behave if the collision is inelastic?.

alexdok [17]

If the collision is inelastic, there is every possibility that the large body will drag the small stationary body along with it in the direction of the collision. Some amount of heat, light and sound energy will also be produced due to the kinetic energy of the large body. I hope the answer helps you.

a chamber with a fixed volume of 1.0 meters cubed contains a monatomic gas at 3.00 *10^K. The chamber is heated to a temperature

igomit [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Volume of fixed chamber $V=1 m^3$

Initial Temperature $T_1=300 K$

Final Temperature $T_2=400 K$

Heat Supplied $Q=10 J$

From First law of thermodynamics

Change in internal energy of the system is equal to heat added minus work done by the system

$\Delta U=Q-W$

as the volume is fixed therefore work

$W=\int PdV=0$

thus $\Delta U=mc_v\Delta T=Q$

$c_v$ for mono-atomic gas is $12.471 J/K-mol$

$n\times 12.471\times (400-300)=10$

$n=0.008018 mol$

and 1 mole contains $6.022\times 10^{23} molecules$

thus No of molecules $=0.008018\times 6.022\times 10^{23}$

No of molecules $=4.82\times 10^{21} molecules$

The driver of a car going 86.0 km/h suddenly sees the lights of a barrier 44.0 m ahead. It takes the driver 0.75 s to apply the

Lynna [10]

Part a

Answer: NO

We need to calculate the distance traveled once the brakes are applied. Then we would compare the distance traveled and distance of the barrier.

Using the second equation of motion:

$s=ut+0.5at^2$

where s is the distance traveled, u is the initial velocity, t is the time taken and a is the acceleration.

It is given that, u=86.0 km/h=23.9 m/s, t=0.75 s, $a=-10.0 m/s^2$

$\Rightarrow s=23.9 m/s \times 0.75s+0.5\times (-10.0 m/s^2)\times (0.75 s)^2=15.11 m$

Since there is sufficient distance between position where car would stop and the barrier, the car would not hit it.

Part b

Answer: 29.6 m/s

The maximum distance that car can travel is $s=44.0 m$

The acceleration is same, $a=-10.0 m/s^2$

The final velocity, v=0

Using the third equation of motion, we can find the maximum initial velocity for car to not hit the barrier:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$0-u^2=-2 \time 10.0m/s^2 \times 44.0 m\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{880 m^2/s^2}=29.6 m/s$

Hence, the maximum speed at which car can travel and not hit the barrier is 29.6 m/s.
