Answer:

v = 28.7 m/s

Explanation:

  • According to the Work Energy Theorem, the work done by external forces on the system, is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the system.
  • In absence of friction, the only force that does work , producing a displacement in the direction of the force, is the component of gravity parallel to the slide:

       Fg_{p } = m*g* sin \theta (1)

  • The displacement d,along the slide, can be found from the definition of the sine of an angle, as follows:

        sin \theta =\frac{h}{d}

  • Solving for d, we get:

       d = \frac{h}{sin \theta} (2)

  • Now, the work done by Fgp, is just the product of the force times the displacement, as follows:

        W = Fgp * d

  • From (1) and (2) we can find W as follows:

       W =Fg_{p }* d = m*g* sin \theta * \frac{h}{sin \theta} = m*g*h

  • This expression must be equal to ΔK, as follows:

        \Delta K = \frac{1}{2} * m *v^{2} = m*g*h

  • Simplifying common terms, we can solve for v (the velocity of the sled at the bottom of the slide), as follows:

        v =\sqrt{2*g*h} = \sqrt{2*9.8 m/s2*42 m} = 28.7 m/s

  • The velocity of the sled at the bottom of the slide is 28.7 m/s, taking as positive the direction down the slide.

A 12000 kg railroad car is traveling at a 2 m/s when it strikes another 10000 kg railroad is at rest. If the car lock together w
zimovet [89]

The final speed is 1.09m\frac{m}{s}

Why?

To calculate the final speed, we need to know that we are working with an inelastic collision, it means that both bodies stick together after the colission. We can calculate the final speed of the bodies (if exists) using the following equation:

m_{1}v{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{f}

We are given the following information:

m_{1}=12000kg\\v_{1}=2\frac{m}{s}\\m_{2}=10000kg\\v_{2}=0\frac{m}{s}(at rest)

So, substituting and calculating, we have:

m_{1}v{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{f}\\\\12000kg*2\frac{m}{s}+10000kg*0\frac{m}{s}=(12000kg+10000kg)*v_{f}\\\\v_{f}=\frac{24000\frac{kg.m}{s} }{22000kg}=1.09m\frac{m}{s}

Hence, the final speed is 1.09 m/s.

Have a nice day!

A .005kg projectile leaves a 1500kg launcher with a velocity of 750 m/s. What is the recoil velocity of the projectile
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The recoil velocity of the projectile is 0.0025m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the projectile =0.005kg

Mass of the launcher = 1500kg

Velocity =  750 m/s.

To Find:

The recoil velocity of the projectile = ?

Solution:

The recoil velocity is the obtained by dividing the "recoil momentum"  by the "mass of the recoil body".  The recoil momentum is equal to the momentum of the other body. The momentum of the other body is equal to it mass times its velocity.

Lets find the recoil momentum,

Recoil momentum = mass of the projectile X velocity

Recoil momentum =0.005 \times 750

Recoil momentum = 3.75

Now Recoil Velocity,

Recoil Velocity = \frac{\text { Recoil Momentum}}{\text {Mass of the launcher}}

Recoil Velocity = \frac{ 3.75}{1500}

Recoil Velocity = 0.0025m/s

If three molecules of tetrodotoxin have a mass of 1.59 x 10-21 g, what is the molecular formula of tetrodotoxin?
Darina [25.2K]

Molecular formula = (C11 N3 H17 O8)1

M(tetrodotoxin) = 6*10^23 x 1.59 x 10^-21 g/3 molecules = 318g/mol

mass of Emperical formula =

11*12.011 + 3*14.007 + 17*1.008 + 8*15.999 = 318g/mol

Molecular formula = (Emperical formula)x

where x is equal to = molar mass/mass of Emperical formula

x = 318/318 = 1

Molecular formula = (C11 N3 H17 O8)1
