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.

A 45.0 g hard-boiled egg moves on the end of a spring with force constant 25.0 N/m. Its initial displacement 0.500 m. A damping
leva [86]

Answer:

0.02896 kg/s

Explanation:

A_1 = Initial displacement = 0.5 m

A21 = Final displacement = 0.1 m

t = Time taken = 0.5 s

m = Mass of object = 45 g

Displacement is given by

x=Ae^{-\dfrac{b}{2m}t}cos(\omega t+\phi)

At maximum displacement

cos(\omega t+\phi)=1

\\\Rightarrow A_2=A_1e^{-\dfrac{b}{2m}t}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=e^{\dfrac{b}{2m}t}\\\Rightarrow ln\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{b}{2m}t\\\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{2m}{t}\times ln\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}\\\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{2\times 0.045}{5}\times ln\dfrac{0.5}{0.1}\\\Rightarrow b=0.02896\ kg/s

The magnitude of the damping coefficient is 0.02896 kg/s

You are on a sled at the top of a hemispherical, snowy hill of radius 13 m. You begin to slide down the hill. How fast are you m
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be loss of potential energy due to loss of height and gain of kinetic energy .

loss of height = R - R cos 14 ,    R is radius of hemisphere .

R ( 1 - cos 12 )

= 13 ( 1 - .978 )

h = .286 m

loss of potential energy

= mgh

= m x 9.8 x .286

= 2.8 m

gain of kinetic energy

1/2 m v ² = mgh

v² = 2 g h

v²  = 2 x 9.8 x 2.8

v = 7.40 m /s
