Which of the following measurements involve a direction

A 1000 Kg car approaches an intersection traveling north at 30 m/s . A 1250 Kg car approaches the same intersection traveling ea

Feliz [49]

Answer:

The final velocity has a magnitude of 25.44 m/s and is at 31.61° north of east.

Explanation:

Taking north direction as positive y axis and east direction as positive x axis .

Given:

Mass of first car is, $m_1=1000\ kg$

Initial velocity of first car is, $u_1=30\vec{j}\ m/s$

Mass of second car is, $m_2=1250\ kg$

Initial velocity of second car is,

Let the combined final velocity after collision be 'v' m/s with as components of final velocity along east and north directions respectively.

Now, as the net external force is zero, momentum is conserved for the two car system along the east and north directions.

Conserving momentum along the east direction, we have:

Initial momentum = Final momentum

$m_1u_{1x}+m_2u_{2x}=(m_1+m_2)v_x\\\\0+1250\times 39=(1000+1250)v_x\\\\v_x=\frac{48750}{2250}\\\\v_x=\frac{65}{3} m/s$

There is no component of initial velocity for first car in east direction, as it is moving in the north direction. So,

Now, conserving momentum along the north direction, we have:

Initial momentum = Final momentum

$m_1u_{1y}+m_2u_{2y}=(m_1+m_2)v_y\\\\1000\times 30+0=(1000+1250)v_y\\\\v_y=\frac{30000}{2250}\\\\v_y=\frac{40}{3}\ m/s$

There is no component of initial velocity for second car in north direction, as it is moving in the east direction. So, $u_{2y}=0$ .

The magnitude of final velocity is given as:

$|\vec{v}|=\sqrt{(v_x)^2+(v_y)^2}\\\\|\vec{v}|=\sqrt{(\frac{65}{3})^2+(\frac{40}{3})^2}\\\\|\vec{v}|=\sqrt{\frac{5825}{9}}=25.44\ m/s$

The direction is given as:

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{\frac{40}{3}}{\frac{65}{3}})=31.61^\circ$

So, the final velocity has a magnitude of 25.44 m/s and is at 31.61° north of east.

Define alpha and beta

elena55 [62]

alpha is the excess return on an investment after adjusting for market related volatility and random fluctuations.

beta is a measure of volatility relative to a benchmark ,such as the S&P 500.

what is the rotational kinetic energy of the earth? use the moment of inertia you calculated in part a rather than the actual mo

Ivenika [448]

The Earth's rotational kinetic energy is the kinetic Energy that the Earth

has due to rotation.

The rotational kinetic energy of the Earth is approximately 3.331 × 10³⁶ J

Reasons:

The parameters required for the question are;

Mass of the Earth, M = 5.97 × 10²⁴ kg

Radius of the Earth, R = 6.38 × 10⁶ m

The rotational period of the Earth, T = 24.0 hrs.

$The \ moment \ of \ inertia \ of \ uniform \ sphere \ is \ I = \mathbf{\dfrac{2}{5} \cdot M \cdot R^2}$

Which gives;

$\mathbf{I_{Earth}} = \dfrac{2}{5} \times 5.97 \times 10 ^{24} \cdot \left(6.38 \times 10^6 \right)^2 = 9.7202107 \times 10^{37}$

$\mathrm{The \ rotational \ kinetic \ energy \ is} \ E_{rotational} = \mathbf{\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot I \cdot \omega^2}$

$\mathrm{The \ angular \ speed, \ \omega} = \mathbf{\dfrac{2 \dcdot \pi}{T}}$

Therefore;

$\omega = \dfrac{2 \cdot \pi}{24} = \dfrac{\pi}{24}$

Which gives;

$\mathbf{E_{rotational}} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 9.7202107 \times 10^{37} \times \left( \dfrac{\pi}{12} \right)^2 = 3.331 \times 10^{36}$

The rotational kinetic energy of the Earth, $E_{rotational}$ = 3.331 × 10³⁶ Joules
