a train car of mass 444 kg moving at 5 m/s bounces into another car on the same tracks of mass 344 king. of the second car was m

oving 5 m/s in the opposite direction, how fast does the first car move after the collision?

Answer:

3.7 m/s

Explanation:

M = 444 kg

U = 5 m/s

m = 344 kg

u = - 5 m/s

Let the velocity of train is V and the car s v after the collision.

As the collision is elastic

By use of conservation of momentum

MU + mu = MV + mv

444 x 5 - 344 x 5 = 444 V + 344 v

500 = 444 V + 344 v

125 = 111 V + 86 v .... (1)

By using the formula of coefficient of restitution ( e = 1 for elastic collision)

$e = \frac{V-v}{u-U}$

-5 - 5 = V - v

V - v = - 10

v = V + 10

Substitute the value of v in equation (1)

125 = 111 V + 86 (V + 10)

125 = 197 V + 860

197 V = - 735

V = - 3.7 m/s

Thus, the speed of first car after collision is 3.7 m/s. negative sign shows that the direction is reverse as before the collision.

Answer:They are equal and act in opposite directions.

Explanation:Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the case of Bode's rocket, the pressurized air in the bottle forces the water to gush downward out of the bottle, causing the rocket to launch upward into the air. The force of the water gushing downward is equal to the upward force on the rocket. So, the two forces are equal and act in opposite directions.

A 1 036-kg satellite orbits the Earth at a constant altitude of 98-km. (a) How much energy must be added to the system to move t

Veronika [31]

Answer:

a) The Energy added should be 484.438 MJ

b) The Kinetic Energy change is -484.438 MJ

c) The Potential Energy change is 968.907 MJ

Explanation:

Let 'm' be the mass of the satellite , 'M'(6× $10^{24}$ be the mass of earth , 'R'(6400 Km) be the radius of the earth , 'h' be the altitude of the satellite and 'G' (6.67× $10^{-11}$ N/m) be the universal constant of gravitation.

We know that the orbital velocity(v) for a satellite -

v= $\sqrt{\frac{Gmm}{R+h} }$ [(R+h) is the distance of the satellite from the center of the earth ]

Total Energy(E) = Kinetic Energy(KE) + Potential Energy(PE)

For initial conditions ,

h = $h_{i}$ = 98 km = 98000 m

∴Initial Energy ( $E_{i}$ ) = $\frac{1}{2}$ m $v^{2}$ + $\frac{-GMm}{(R+h_{i} )}$

Substituting v= $\sqrt{\frac{GMm}{R+h_{i} } }$ in the above equation and simplifying we get,

$E_{i}$ = $\frac{-GMm}{2(R+h_{i}) }$

Similarly for final condition,

h= $h_{f}$ = 198km = 198000 m

∴Final Energy( $E_{f}$ ) = $\frac{-GMm}{2(R+h_{f}) }$

a) The energy that should be added should be the difference in the energy of initial and final states -

∴ ΔE = $E_{f}$ - $E_{i}$

= $\frac{GMm}{2}$ ( $\frac{1}{R+h_{i} }$ - $\frac{1}{R+h_{f} }$ )

Substituting ,

M = 6 × $10^{24}$ kg

m = 1036 kg

G = 6.67 × $10^{-11}$

R = 6400000 m

$h_{i}$ = 98000 m

$h_{f}$ = 198000 m

We get ,

ΔE = 484.438 MJ

b) Change in Kinetic Energy (ΔKE) = $\frac{1}{2}$ m[ $v_{f} ^{2}$ - $v_{i} ^{2}$ ]

= $\frac{GMm}{2}$ [ $\frac{1} {R+h_{f} }$ - $\frac{1} {R+h_{i} }$ ]

= -ΔE

= - 484.438 MJ

c) Change in Potential Energy (ΔPE) = GMm[ $\frac{1}{R+h_{i} }$ - $\frac{1}{R+h_{f} }$ ]

= 2ΔE

= 968.907 MJ

How much work is done to increase the speed of a 1.0 kg toy car by 5.0 m/s?

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is (b).

Explanation:

We need to find the work done to increase the speed of a 1 kg toy car by 5 m/s.

We know that, the work done is equal to the kinetic energy of an object i.e.

$W=\Delta K\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1\times 5^2\\W=12.5\ J$

So, 12.5 J of work is done to increase the speed of a 1.0 kg toy car by 5.0 m/s.
