A 115 kg hockey player, Adam, is skating east whenever he tackles a 133 kg player, Bob, skating west at -1.59 m/s. Afterwards, t

hey move together at .250 m/s east. What was Adam's velocity before the collision? (Unit = m/s)

Answer:

2.38 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved:

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

After the collision, they move at the same speed, so v₁ = v₂ = v.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v

Plugging in numbers:

(115 kg) u₁ + (133 kg) (-1.59 m/s) = (115 kg + 133 kg) (0.250 m/s)

u₁ = 2.38 m/s

How can a 1kg ball have more kinetic energy than a 100kg ball? Explain both using words and by providing a numerical example
MariettaO [177]

1 kg ball can have more kinetic energy than a 100 kg ball as increase in velocity is having greater impact on K.E than increase in mass.

<u>Explanation</u>:

We know kinetic energy can be judged or calculated by two parameters only which is mass and velocity. As kinetic energy is directly proportional to the (velocity)^2 and increase in velocity leads to greater effect on translational Kinetic Energy. Here formula of Kinetic Energy suggests that doubling the mass will double its K.E but doubling velocity will quadruple its velocity:

\text { Kinetic Energy }=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

Better understood from numerical example as given:

If a man A having weight 50 kg run with speed 5 m/s and another man B having 100 kg weight run with 2.5 m / s. Which man will have more K.E?

This can be solved as follows:

\text { Kinetic Energy of } \mathrm{A}=\frac{1}{2} 50 \times 5^{2}=625 \mathrm{J}

\text { Kinetic Energy bf } \mathrm{B}=\frac{1}{2} 100 \times 2.5^{2}=312.5 \mathrm{J}

It shows that man A will have more K.E.

Hence 1 kg ball can have more K.E than 100 kg ball by doubling velocity.

You're an electrical engineer designing an alternator (the generator that charges a car's battery). Mechanical engineers specify
Julli [10]

Answer:

13.78 mT

Explanation:

The peak voltage ε = ωNAB where ω = angular speed of coil = 1500 rpm = 1500 × 2π/60 rad/s = 50π rad/s = 157.08 rad/s, N = number of turns of coil = 250, A = area of coil = πr² where r = radius of coil = 10 cm = 0.10 m,

A = π(0.1 m)² = 0.03142 m² and B = magnetic field strength

So,

B = ε/ωNA  

substituting the values of the variables into the equation given that ε = 17 V

So, B = ε/ωNA

B = 17 V/(157.08 rad/s × 250 turns × 0.03142 m²)

B = 17 V/(1233.8634 rad-turns-m²/s)

B = 0.01378 T

B = 13.78 mT
