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

How many million kilometers is one astronomical unit.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

150 million kilometres

Explanation:

The astronomical unit (symbol: au, or AU or AU) is a unit of length, roughly the distance from Earth to the Sun and equal to 150 million kilometres (93 million miles) or 8.3 light minutes.

Given that ethylene has a λmax of 175nm, butadiene has a λmax of 220nm, and 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene has a λmax or 215nm, what is
Vika [28.1K]

The λmax of 2,3,4-trimethylhexatriene is 280 nm.

Ethylene has a λmax of 175nm.

Butadiene has a λmax of 220nm.

2-methyl-1,3-butadiene has a λmax or 215nm.

1,3,5-hexatriene has a λmax of 258nm.

Woodward's rules, sometimes known as Woodward-Fieser rules (after Louis Fieser) and named after Robert Burns Woodward, are a number of sets of empirically developed principles that aim to forecast the wavelength of the absorption maximum (max) in an ultraviolet-visible spectrum of a certain molecule.

By using the Woodward Fieser rule,

R- (Alkyl Group) .... +5 nm = 5 × 2 = 10

RO- (Alkoxy Group) .. +6 = 6 × 2 = 12

Adding 22nm to the λmax of 1,3,5-hexatriene as it has 2 alkyl groups and 2 alkoxy groups to form 2,3,4-trimethylhexatriene.

The λmax of 2,3,4-trimethylhexatriene is 280 nm.

A driver in a 2000 kg Porsche wishes to pass to pass a slow-moving school bus on a four-lane road. What is the average power in
Kryger [21]

The average power is 3.0\cdot 10^6 W

Explanation:

First of all, we calculate the work done to accelerate the car; according to the work-energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car:

W=K_f -K_i= \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2

where :

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 is the final kinetic energy of the car, with

m = 2000 kg is the mass of the car

v = 60 m/s is the final speed of the car

K_i = \frac{1}{2}mu^2 is the initial kinetic energy of the car, with

u = 30 m/s is initial speed of the car

Soolving:

W=\frac{1}{2}(2000)(60)^2 - \frac{1}{2}(2000)(30)^2=2.7\cdot 10^6 J

Now we can find the power required for the acceleration, which is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

t = 9 s is the time elapsed

Solving:

P=\frac{2.7\cdot 10^6}{9}=3.0\cdot 10^6 W

Use the concept of fields to describe how forces can act from a distance.
Leni [432]
The strength of a field force changes with distance from the sourceof the field-stronger closer to the source, weaker farther away from the source. The source can be either a mass, a charged particle, or a magnetic pole.
