Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the truck, m = 2000 kg

Initial velocity of the truck, u = 34 km/h = 9.44 m/s

Final velocity of the truck, v = 58 km/h = 16.11 m/s

(a) Change in truck's kinetic energy, \Delta E=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

\Delta E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2000\ kg\times (16.11^2-9.44^2)

\Delta E=170418.5\ J

\Delta E=1.7\times 10^5\ J

(b) Change in momentum of the truck, \Delta p=m(v-u)

\Delta p=2000\ kg\times (16.11-9.44)

\Delta p=13340\ kg-m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

A Hooke's law spring is compressed 12.0 cm from equilibrium, and the potential energy stored is 72.0 J. What compression (as mea
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:14.14 cm

Explanation:

Given

Spring Compression x=12 cm

Potential energy Stored in spring=72 J

Suppose k is the spring constant of spring

Potential Energy of spring is given by =\frac{kx^2}{2}

\frac{k(0.12)^2}{2}=72

k(0.12)^2=144

k=10,000 N/m

k=10 kN/m

for 100 J energy

\frac{k(x_0)^2}{2}=100

10\times 10^3\cdot (x_0)^2=200

(x_0)^2=2\times 10^{-2}

x_0=0.1414

x_0=14.14 cm

What is the frequency of a wave?
Paladinen [302]
The answer should be the number, or amount, of cycles that occur in a given time. Frequency is basically Hertz. Frequency is the number of waves that pass through a certain point every second. I hope that I was able to answer your question.

If the magnitude of the electric field in air exceeds roughly 3 ✕ 106 N/C, the air breaks down and a spark forms. For a two-disk
Westkost [7]

Answer:

1.843 x 10^-5 C  

Explanation:

<u><em>Givens:   </em></u>

It is given that the air starts ionizing when the electric field in the air exceeds a magnitude of 3 x 10^6 N/C, which means that the max electric field can stand without forming a spark is 3 x 10^6 N/C.  

Also it is given that the radius of the disk is 50 cm, it is required to find out the max amount of charge that the disk can hold without forming spark, which means the charge that would produce the max magnitude of the electric field that air can stand without forming spark, and since we know that the electric field in between 2 disk "Capacitor" is given by the following equation  

E = (Q/A)/∈o                                (1)

Where,

Q: total charge on the disk.

A: the area of the disk.  

<u><em>Calculations:  </em></u>

We want to find the quantity of charge on the disk that would produce an electric field of 3 x 10^6 N/C, knowing the radius of the disk we can find the cross-section of the disk, thus substituting in equation (1) we find the maximum quantity of charge the disk can hold  

Q = EA∈o

   = (3 x 10^6) x (π*0.50) x (8.85 x 10^-12)  

  = 1.843 x 10^-5 C  

note:

calculations maybe wrong but method is correct
