Answer:

a)there is collision

b)V=7.79m/s

Explanation:

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated movement", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

Vf=Vo+a.t                                     (1)

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X                (2)

X=Xo+ VoT+0.5at^{2}                   (3)

X=(Vf+Vo)T/2                                 (4)

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed

T = time

A = acceleration

X = displacement

In conclusion to solve any problem related to a body that moves with constant acceleration we use the 3 above equations and use algebra to solve

To solve this problem, we use equation number 2 to calculate the distance traveled after the end of a movement with constant speed with a time of 0.2s, if it is less than 36.576m there is no collision.

Xt=X1+X2 (5)

X1= distance traveled with constant speed

X1=distance traveled with constant acceleration

for X1

X1=Vt

where

V=50mph=22.35m/s

t=0.2

X1=0.2x22.35m/s

X1=4.47m

for X2 using ecuation number 2

Vo=22.35m/s

Vf=0m/s

a=-6m/s^2

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X    

{0^{2}-22.35^2}/{(2).(6)} =X    

x2=41.626m

Xt=x1+x2

Xt=41.626+4.47=49m

as the distance traveled is 49m the cars crash

b) to calculate the final speed we use the ecuation number tow(2)

X=36.576m

Vo=22.35m/s

a=-6m/s^2

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X  

solving for vf

Vf=\sqrt[2]{2ax+Vo^{2} }

Vf=\sqrt[2]{2(-6)(36.576)+22.352^{2} }=7.79m/s

malfutka [58]

Answer:

T_2 = 77.5c

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Temp of first boltsT_1=100

Temp of 2nd bolt T_2=55

Generally the equation showing the relationship between  heat & temperature is given by

  q=cm \triangle T

Generally heat released  by the iron bolt  = heat gained by the iron bolt

Generally solving mathematically

     -(0.45*m* (T_2-100  \textdegree c)) = 0.45*m*(T_2 -55\textdegree c)

     -(T_2-100 \textdegree c)) = (T_2 -55 \textdegree c)

      T_2 +T_2= 100 \textdegree c+55 \textdegree c

      T_2=\frac{155 \textdegree c}{2}

      T_2 = 77.5 \textdegree c

Therefore T_2 = 77.5 \textdegree c is the final temperature inside the container

A student sits at rest on a piano stool that can rotate without friction. The moment of inertia of the student-stool system is 4
irina [24]

Here We can use principle of angular momentum conservation

Here as we know boy + projected mass system has no external torque

Since there is no torque so we can say the angular momentum is conserved

mvL = (I + mL^2)\omega

now we know that

m = 2 kg

v = 2.5 m/s

L = 0.35 m

I = 4.5 kg-m^2

now plug in all values in above equation

2\times 2.5 \times 0.35 = (4.5 + (2\times 0.35^2))\omega

1.75 = [4.5 + 0.245]\omega

1.75 = 4.745\omega

\omega = 0.37 rad/s

so the final angular speed will be 0.37 rad/s
