A 1200-kg car moving at 15.6 m/s suddenly collides with a stationary car of mass 1500 kg. if the two vehicles lock together, wha

t is their combined velocity immediately after the collision?

Use conservation of momentum ;

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

1200×15.6 + 0 = 2700v

v = 18720/2700

v = 6.933 or ~ 7 m/s

A 100-m-long wire carrying a current of 4.0 A will be accompanied by a magnetic field of what strength at a distance of 0.050 m

solong [7]

Answer:

1.6 x 10^-5 T

Explanation:

i = 4 A

r = 0.05 m

The magnetic field due to long wire at a distance r is given by

$B = \frac{\mu _{0}}{4\pi }\times \frac{2i}{r}$

B = 10^-7 x 2 x 4 / 0.05

B = 1.6 x 10^-5 T

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) if it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative t

enot [183]

Here we will the speed of seagull which is v = 9 m/s

this is the speed of seagull when there is no effect of wind on it

now in part a)

if effect of wind is in opposite direction then it travels 6 km in 20 min

so the average speed is given by the ratio of total distance and total time

$v_{avg} = \frac{6000}{20*60}$

$v_{avg} = 5m/s$

now since effect of wind is in opposite direction then we can say

$V_{net} = v_{bird} - v_{wind}$

$5 = 9 - v_{wind}$

$v_{wind}= 4 m/s$

Part b)

now if bird travels in the same direction of wind then we will have

$v_{net}= v_{bird} + v_{wind}$

$v_{net} = 9 + 4 = 13 m/s$

now we can find the time to go back

$time = \frac{distance}{speed}$

$time = \frac{6000}{13}$

$time = 7.7 minutes$

Part c)

Total time of round trip when wind is present

$T = t_1 + t_2$

$T = 20 + 7.7 = 27.7 min$

now when there is no wind total time is given by

$T = \frac{6000}{9} + \frac{6000}{9}$

$T = 22.22 min$

So due to wind time will be more

What the kinetic energy quantities in calculation pls help me

Rashid [163]

Answer:

KE = 0.5 * m * v², where: m - mass, v - velocity.

Explanation:

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s 2.
