You are driving your small, fuel-efficient car when you have a head-on collision with a big, fuel-efficient truck that is three

times as massive as your car. Head-on means, for example that if you are traveling in the positive x direction, the truck is traveling in the negative x direction. Right before the collision, you were traveling at a speed of 3.0 m/s and right after the collision, both vehicles are at rest. Due to the conservation of the momentum, you can find the speed of the truck before the collision. What was the kinetic energy of the truck Ktruck before the collision when the kinetic energy of the car was Kcar

3 0

Explanation:

Momentum before = momentum after

mv + MV = 0

(m) (3.0 m/s) + (3m) (V) = 0

V = -1.0 m/s

The truck was moving at 1.0 m/s before the collision.

The kinetic energy of the car was:

KE = 1/2 m v²

Kcar = 1/2 m (3.0)²

Kcar = 9/2 m

Ktruck = 1/2 M V²

Ktruck = 1/2 (3m) (1.0)²

Ktruck = 3/2 m

Ktruck = 1/3 Kcar

So the truck had 1/3 the kinetic energy of the car.

A long solenoid, of radius a, is driven by an alternating current, so that the field inside is sinusoidal: B(t) = B0 cos(ωt) ˆz.
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

B(t) = B0 cos(ωt) • k

Radius r = a

Inner radius r' = a/2 and resistance R.

Current in the loop as a function of time I(t) =?

Magnetic flux is given as

Φ = BA

And the Area is given as

A = πr², where r = a/2

A = πa²/4

Then,

Φ = ¼ Bπa²

Φ(t) = ¼πa²Bo•Cos(ωt)

Then, the EMF is given as

ε(t) = -dΦ/dt

ε(t) = -¼πa²Bo • -ωSin(ωt)

ε(t) = ¼ωπa²Bo•Sin(ωt)

From ohms law,

ε = iR

Then, i = ε/R

I(t) = ¼ωπa²Bo•Sin(ωt) /R

This is the current induced in the loop.

What factors affect attractive force
Inga [223]

Two Factors That Affect How Much Gravity Is on an Object. Gravity is the force that gives weight to objects and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped. Two major factors, mass and distance, affect the strength of gravitational force on an object.

PROJECTILE MOTION-Why isn't there any accelertion in the x direction while there is an acceleration of -g in the y direction? ..
Ahat [919]
There is no acceleration of g in the x direction because the gravitational acceleration points downward. Also, on most studies we ignore the tidal forces since we are dealing with small bodies compared to the size of the earth.
