Answer:

The answer is given below

Explanation:

u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity. Given that:

m_1=0.6kg,u_1=-5m/s(moving \ west),m_2=0.8kg,u_2=2m/s,k=1200N/m

a)

The final velocity of cart 1 after collision is given as:

v_1=(\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2})u_1+\frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\  Substituting:\\v_1=\frac{0.6-0.8}{0.6+0.8} (-5)+\frac{2*0.8}{0.6+0.8}(2)= 5/7+16/7=3\ m/s

The final velocity of cart 2 after collision is given as:

v_2=(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})u_2+\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_1\\  Substituting:\\v_1=\frac{0.8-0.6}{0.6+0.8} (2)+\frac{2*0.6}{0.6+0.8}(-5)= 2/7-30/7=-4\ m/s

b) Using the law of conservation of energy:

\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1+ \frac{1}{2}m_2u_2=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2+\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\x=\sqrt{\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1-m_2v_2}{k}}\\ Substituting\ gives:\\x=\sqrt{\frac{0.6*(-5)^2+0.8*2^2-(0.6*3^2)-(0.8*(-4)^2)}{1200}}=\sqrt{0}=0\ cm

A 10-turn ideal solenoid has an inductance of 4. 0 mh. to generate an emf of 2. 0 v the current should change at a rate of:_____
Lady bird [3.3K]

The answer is 500 A/sec.

N=10 ; Solensid; L=4 m H ; \varepsilon=2 \mathrm{~V};

\begin{aligned}&\varepsilon=-L \frac{d I}{d t}=N \phi ; \\&2 \times \frac{1}{L}=-\frac{d I}{d t} ; \\&2 \times \frac{1}{4 \times 10^{-3}}=-\frac{d I}{d t} ;\end{aligned}

0.5 \times 10^{3}=\frac{d I}{dt}

So, 500 A/sec.

What is Solensid?

  • Electromagnets are magnets in which the wire is coiled around an iron core. When an electric current is applied to the iron core, a magnetic field is formed around it. When the power is turned off, the magnetic field dissipates. The wire-wound core of the magnet is ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic in nature. The most prevalent material utilised in the core is iron.
  • The magnetic field created is governed by the availability of power. A permanent magnet does not require electricity, and its magnetic field cannot be changed. Solenoid, MRI machines, hard drives, relays, motors, loudspeakers, and generators all employ electromagnets.

The velocity function (in meters per second) is given for a particle moving along a line. v(t) = 5t − 9, 0 ≤ t ≤ 3 (a) Find the
Reil [10]

Answer:

a) The displacement is -4.5 m.

b) The traveled distance is 11.7 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

a)The velocity of the particle is the derivative of the displacement function, x(t):

v(t) = dx/dt = 5t - 9

Separating varibles:

dx = (5t - 9)dt

Integrating both sides from x = x0 to x and from t = 0 to t.

x - x0 = 1/2 · 5t² - 9t

x = 1/2 · 5t² - 9t + x0

If we place the origin of the system of reference at x = x0, the displacement at t = 3 will be x(3):

x(3) = 1/2 · 5 · (3)² - 9(3) + 0

x(3) = -4.5

The displacement at t = 3 s is -4.5 m. It means that the particle is located 4.5 m to the left from the origin of the system of reference at t = 3 s.

b) When the velocity is negative, the particle moves to the left. Let´s find the time at which the velocity is less than zero:

v = 5t - 9

0 > 5t - 9

9/5 > t

1.8 s > t

Then until t = 1.8 s, the particle moves to the left from the origin of the reference system.

Let´s find the position of the particle at that time:

x = 1/2 · 5t² - 9t

x = 1/2 · 5(1.8 s)² - 9(1.8 s)

x = -8.1 m

From t = 0 to t = 1.8 s the traveled distance is 8.1 m. After 1.8 s, the particle has positive velocity. It means that the particle is moving to the right, towards the origin. If at t = 3 the position of the particle is -4.5 m, then the traveled distance from x = -8.1 m to x = -4.5 m is (8.1 m - 4.5 m) 3.6 m.

Then, the total traveled distance is (8.1 m + 3.6 m) 11.7 m.

A hungry 169169 kg lion running northward at 77.377.3 km/hr attacks and holds onto a 31.731.7 kg Thomson's gazelle running eastw
navik [9.2K]

Answer:  75,242.9 m/s

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following parameters

mass of Lion (ML) = 169,169 kg

velocity of lion (VL) = 777,377.7 m/s

mass of Gazelle (Mg) = 31,731.7 kg

velocity of Gazelle (Vg) = 63,863.8 kg

mass of Lion and Gazelle (M) = 200,900.7 kg

velocity of Lion and Gazelle (V) = ?

The first figure below shows the motion of the Lion and Gazelle with their direction.

The second diagram shows the motion of the Lion and Gazelle with their directions rearranged to form a right angle triangle.

from the triangle formed we can get the velocity of the Lion and Gazelle immediately after collision using their momentum and Phytaghoras theorem

momentum = mass x velocity

momentum of the Lion = 169,169 x 77,377.3 = 13,089,840,463.7 kgm/s

momentum of the Gazelle = 31,731.7 x 63,863.8 = 2,026,506,942.46 kgm/s

momentum of the Lion and Gazelle = 200,900.7  x V

now applying Phytaghoras theorem we have

13,089,840,463.7 + 2,026,506,942.46 =  200,900.7 x V

15,116,347,406.16 = 200,900.7 x V

V = 75,242.9 m/s
