A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.550 m/s. The to

tal mass of the sled, man, and rock is 96.5 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.300 kg and the man can throw it with a speed of 17.5 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Determine the speed of the sled if the man throws the rock forward (i.e. in the direction the sled is moving).

Answer: 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Speed of the sled, v = 0.55 m/s

Total mass, m = 96.5 kg

Mass of the rock, m1 = 0.3 kg

Speed of the rock, v1 = 17.5 m/s

To solve this, we would use the law of conservation of momentum

Momentum before throwing the rock: m*V = 96.5 kg * 0.550 m/s = 53.08 Ns

When the man throws the rock forward

rock:

m1 = 0.300 kg

V1 = 17.5 m/s, in the same direction of the sled with the man

m2 = 96.5 kg - 0.300 kg = 96.2 kg

v2 = ?

Law of conservation of momentum states that the momentum is equal before and after the throw.

momentum before throw = momentum after throw

53.08 = 0.300 * 17.5 + 96.2 * v2

53.08 = 5.25 + 96.2 * v2

v2 = [53.08 - 5.25 ] / 96.2

v2 = 47.83 / 96.2

v2 = 0.497 ~= 0.50 m/s

A wheel with moment of inertia 25 kg. m2 and angular velocity 10 rad/s begins to speed up, with angular acceleration 15 rad/sec2
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

(A) Angular speed 40 rad/sec

Rotation = 50 rad

(b) 37812.5 J

Explanation:

We have given moment of inertia of the wheel I=25kgm^2

Initial angular velocity of the wheel \omega _0=10rad/sec

Angular acceleration \alpha =15rad/sec^2

(a) We know that \omega =\omega _0+\alpha t

We have given t = 2 sec

So \omega =10+15\times  2=40rad/sec

Now \Theta =\omega _0t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2=10\times 2+\frac{1}{2}\times 15\times 2^2=50rad

(b) After 3 sec \omega =10+15\times 3=55rad/sec

We know that kinetic energy is given by Ke=\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 25\times 55^2=37812.5J

Two metra trains approach each other on separate but parallel tracks. one has a speed of 90 km/hr, the other 80 km/hr. initially
Gennadij [26K]

The trains take <u>57.4 s</u> to pass each other.

Two trains A and B move towards each other. Let A move along the positive x axis and B along the negative x axis.

therefore,

v_A=90 km/h\\ v_B=-80 km/h

The relative velocity of the train A with respect to B is given by,

v_A_B=v_A-v_B\\ =(90km/h)-(-80km/h)\\ =170km/h

If the train B is assumed to be at rest, the train A would appear to move towards it with a speed of 170 km/h.

The trains are a distance d = 2.71 km apart.

Since speed is the distance traveled per unit time, the time taken by the trains to cross each other is given by,

t= \frac{d}{v_A_B}

Substitute 2.71 km for d and 170 km/h for v_A_B

t= \frac{d}{v_A_B}\\ =\frac{2.71 km}{170 km/h} \\ =0.01594 h

Express the time in seconds.

t=(0.01594h)(3600s/h)=57.39s

Thus, the trains cross each other in <u>57.4 s</u>.

Read each question carefully. Show all your work for each part of the question. The parts within the question may not have equal
kirza4 [7]

At t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

We are told in the question that the spacecrafts fly parallel to each other and that for the both  spacecrafts, the velocities are described as follows;

A: vA (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20

B: vB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10

Given that t = 0 in both cases;

vA (0) = 0^2 – 5(0) + 20

vA = 20 m/s

For vB

vB (0) = 0^2+ 3(0) + 10

vB = 10 m/s

We can see that at t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

Read each question carefully. Show all your work for each part of the question. The parts within the question may not have equal weight. Spacecrafts A and B are flying parallel to each other through space and are next to each other at time t= 0. For the interval 0 <t< 6 s, spacecraft A's velocity v A and spacecraft B's velocity vB as functions of t are given by the equations va (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20 and VB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10, respectively, where both velocities are in units of meters per second. At t = 6 s, the spacecrafts both turn off their engines and travel at a constant speed. (a) At t = 0, is the speed of spacecraft A greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of spacecraft B?

Which of these processes are chemical reactions
White raven [17]

Explanation:

  • In chemical reactions, chemical changes occur.
  • Atoms are simply rearranged and new bonds are formed.
  • Chemical reactions are driven by a need for atoms to attain stability in their structure.
  • In all chemical reactions, a reactant or reactants gives new product i.e new substances are formed.
  • Most these reactions are not easily reversible.
  • They are usually accompanied by the release of energy.
