A 1050 kg sports car is moving westbound at 13.0 m/s on a level road when it collides with a 6320 kg truck driving east on the s

ame road at 12.0 m/s. The two vehicles remain locked together after the collision. What is the velocity (magnitude) of the two vehicles just after the collision?
At what speed should the truck have been moving so that it and car are both stopped in the collision?

Answer:

a) v_{3} =8.43 m/s

b) v_{2}=2.15m/s

c) ΔK=-28.18x10^4J

d)ΔK=-10.33x10^4J

Explanation:

From the exercise we know that there is a collision of a sports car and a truck.

So, the sport car is going to be our object number 1 and the truck object number 2.

m_{1}=1050kg\\v_{1}=-13m/s\\m_{2}=6320kg\\v_{2}=12m/s

Since the two vehicles remain locked together after the collision the final mass is:

m_{3}=7370kg

a) To find the velocity of the two vehicles just after the collision we must use linear's momentum principle

p_{1}=p_{2}

m_{1}v_{1}+ m_{2}v_{2}=m_{3}v_{3}

v_{3}=\frac{m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}}{m_{3}}=\frac{(1050kg)(-13m/s)+(6320kg)(12m/s)}{7370kg}

v_{3}=8.43m/s

b) To find the speed the truck should have had so both vehicles stopped in the collision we need to use the same principle used before

m_{1}v_{1}+ m_{2}v_{2}=0

v_{2}=\frac{-m_{1}v_{1}}{m_{2} }=\frac{-(1050kg)(-13m/s)}{(6320kg)}=2.15m/s

c) To find the change in kinetic energy we need to do the following steps:

ΔK=k_{2}-k_{1}=\frac{1}{2}m_{3}v_{3}^{2}-(\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2} )

ΔK=\frac{1}{2}(7370)(8.43)^{2}-(\frac{1}{2}(1050)(-13)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}(6320)(12)^{2} )=-28.18x10^{4}J

d) The change in kinetic energy where the two vehicles stopped in the collision is:

ΔK=k_{2}-k_{1}=0-(\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2} )

ΔK=-(\frac{1}{2}(1050)(-13)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}(6320)(2.15)^{2} )=-10.33x10^4J

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

a. 4v

Explanation:

Alf moves with speed v

Alf travel during the same amount of time that is Δt = (1/4)s

v = (1/4)s /  Δt = s / 4 Δt

s / Δt  = 4 v

Beth travels a distance s during time Δt,

speed of Beth = s / Δt = 4 v .

A rope pulls a 82.5 kg skier at a constant speed up a 18.7° slope with μk = 0.150. How much force does the rope exert?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

374 N

Explanation:

N = normal force acting on the skier

m = mass of the skier = 82.5

From the force diagram, force equation perpendicular to the slope is given as

N = mg Cos18.7

μ = Coefficient of friction = 0.150

frictional force is given as

f = μN

f =  μmg Cos18.7

F = force applied by the rope

Force equation parallel to the slope is given as

F - f - mg Sin18.7 = 0

F - μmg Cos18.7 - mg Sin18.7 = 0

F = μmg Cos18.7 + mg Sin18.7

F = (0.150 x 82.5 x 9.8) Cos18.7 + (82.5 x 9.8) Sin18.7

F = 374 N

In a uranium fission reaction, uranium splits into two smaller atoms and energy. Where did the energy come from?
postnew [5]

Answer: C. Some of uranium's mass is converted into energy, so the smaller atoms have less mass.

Explanation:

From Einstein's mass-energy relation:

E = mc²

Mass and energy are equivalent. Mass can be converted into energy and energy into mass.

When Uranium atoms under go nuclear fission, smaller atoms are formed and huge amount of energy is released. This energy comes from the mass difference of the uranium nuclei and new nuclei formed. This mass converted into energy according to Einstein's equation.
