You have been assigned to investigate a traffic accident. The masses of car A and car B are 1300 kg and 1200 kg, respectively. C

ar B was initially at rest with all four wheels locked. Skid marks indicate car B slid 10 m after the impact. Assuming that the coefficient of kinetic friction the tires and road is 0.8 and the coefficient of restitution of the impact is 0.4, calculate the velocity of A just before impact.

Answer:

The velocity of A before impact = 17.90 m/s

Explanation:

Coefficient of restitution = (speed of seperation)/(speed of approach)

= (v₁ - v₂)/(u₂ - u₁)

where v₁ = velocity of the car A after the impact = ?

v₂ = velocity of the car B after the impact = ?

u₂ = velocity of the car B before the impact = 0 m/s (it was initially at rest)

u₁ = velocity of car A before the impact = ?

First of, we can solve for v₂, the velocity of car B after the impact, from some of the information given in the question.

- Skid marks indicate car B slid 10 m after the impact

- The coefficient of kinetic friction the tires and road is 0.8.

According to the work energy theorem, the work done by frictional force in stopping the car B is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car B. (All after collision)

W = ΔK.E

ΔK.E = (1/2)(1200)(v₂²) - 0 (final kinetic energy is 0 since the car comes to stop eventually)

ΔK.E = (600v₂²) J

W = F × d

where F = frictional force = μmg = 0.8×1300×9.8 = 10,192 N

d = distance the car skids over before stopping = 10 m

W = 10,192 × 10 = 101,920 J

W = ΔK.E

101,920 = 600v₂²

v₂² = (101920/600) = 169.867

v₂ = 13.03 m/s

But recall,

Coefficient of restitution = (v₁ - v₂)/(u₂ - u₁)

For the sake of convention, we take the direction of car A's initial velocity to be the positive direction.

u₁ = ?

u₂ = 0 m/s

v₁ = ?

v₂ = +13.03 m/s

Coefficient of restitution = 0.4

0.4 = (v₁ - 13.03)/(0 - u₁)

-0.4u₁ = v₁ - 13.03

v₁ = 13.03 - 0.4u₁

But this is a collision. In a collision, the linear momentum is usually conserved.

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

1300u₁ + (1200×0) = 1300v₁ + (1200×13.03)

1300u₁ + 0 = 1300v₁ + 15639.95

1300u₁ = 1300v₁ + 15639.95

But recall, from the coefficient of restitution relation,

v₁ = 13.03 - 0.4u₁

Substituting this into the momentum balance equation.

1300u₁ = 1300v₁ + 15639.95

1300u₁ = 1300(13.03 - 0.4u₁) + 15639.95

1300u₁ = 16943.28 - 520u₁ + 15639.95

1820u₁ = 32,583.23

u₁ = (32,583.23/1820)

u₁ = 17.90 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of A before impact = 17.90 m/s

Hope this Helps!!!

A circular loop of wire with a radius of 15.0cm and oriented in the horizontal xy-plane is located in a region of uniform magnet
Drupady [299]

Answer:

See answer

Explanation:

The area of the circular loop is given by:

A = \pi r^2

The magnetic flux is given by:

\phi = \int \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{A}

d\vec{A} is parallel to \vec{B} and \vec{B} is constant in magnitude and direction therefore:

\phi = \int \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{A}= \int BdAcos(0)= B\int dA= B*(\pi r^2)= \pi Br^2

Part A)

initially the flux is \phi =\pi B r^2

after the interval \Delta t= 2.4 [m/s]

the flux is

\phi = 0

now, the EMF is defined as:

\epsilon =- \frac{d \phi}{dt},

if we consider \Delta t= 2.4 [m/s] very small then we can re-write it as:

\epsilon =- \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}

\Delta \phi = 0 - \pi B r^2=-\pi (1.7) (0.15)^2=-0.12

then:

\epsilon =- \frac{-0.12}{0.0024} = 50 [V]

Part B)

When looked down from above, the current flows counter clockwise, according to the right hand rule, if you place your thumb upwards (the direction of the magnetic field) and close your fingers, then the current will flow in the direction of your fingers.

A photon detector captures a photon with an energy of 4.29 ✕ 10−19 J. What is the wavelength, in nanometers, of the photon?
serious [3.7K]

Answer :  The wavelength of photon is, 4.63\times 10^{2}nm

Explanation : Given,

Energy of photon = 4.29\times 10^{-19}J

Formula used :

E=h\times \nu

As, \nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}

So, E=h\times \frac{c}{\lambda}

where,

\nu = frequency of photon

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

\lambda = wavelength of photon  = ?

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

4.29\times 10^{-19}J=(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times \frac{(3\times 10^{8}m/s)}{\lambda}

\lambda=4.63\times 10^{-7}m=4.63\times 10^{-7}\times 10^9nm=4.63\times 10^{2}nm

Conversion used : 1nm=10^{-9}m

Therefore, the wavelength of photon is, 4.63\times 10^{2}nm

9. A plane starts at rest & accelerates along the ground before takeoff. It
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

  9.877 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration can be computed from ...

  d = (1/2)at^2

  (1600 m) = (1/2)a(18 s)^2

  a = (1600/162) m/s^2 ≈ 9.877 m/s^2
