The first car has twice the mass of a second car, but only half as much kinetic energy. When both cars increase their speed by 9

kirill [66]

Answer:

Speed of the car 1 = $V_1=8.98m/s$

Speed of the car 2 = $V_2=17.96m/s$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the car 1 , M₁ = Twice the mass of car 2(M₂)

mathematically,

M₁ = 2M₂

Kinetic Energy of the car 1 = Half the kinetic energy of the car 2

KE₁ = 0.5 KE₂

Now, the kinetic energy for a body is given as

$KE =\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where,

m = mass of the body

v = velocity of the body

thus,

$\frac{1}{2}M_1V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2$

or

$\frac{1}{2}2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2$

or

$2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times M_2V_2^2$

or

$2V_1^2=0.5\times V_2^2$

or

$4V_1^2= V_2^2$

or

$2V_1= V_2$ .................(1)

also,

$\frac{1}{2}M_1(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(V_2+9.0)^2$

or

$\frac{1}{2}2M_2(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(2V_1+9.0)^2$

or

$2(V_1+9.0)^2=(2V_1+9.0)^2$

or

$\sqrt{2}(V_1+9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)$

or

$(\sqrt{2}V_1+ \sqrt{2}\times 9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)$

or

$(\sqrt{2}V_1+ 12.72)=(2V_1+9.0)$

or

$(2V_1-\sqrt{2}V_1)=(12.72-9.0)$

or

$(0.404V_1)=(3.72)$

or

$V_1=8.98m/s$

and, from equation (1)

$V_2=2\times 8.98m/s = 17.96m/s$

Hence,

Speed of car 1 = $V_1=8.98m/s$

Speed of car 2 = $V_2=17.96m/s$

Two asteroids identical to those above collide at right angles and stick together; i.e, their initial velocities were perpendicu

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

velocity = 62.89 m/s in 58 degree measured from the x-axis

Explanation:

Relevant information:

Before the collision, asteroid A of mass 1,000 kg moved at 100 m/s, and asteroid B of mass 2,000 kg moved at 80 m/s.

Two asteroids moving with velocities collide at right angles and stick together. Asteroid A initially moving to right direction and asteroid B initially move in the upward direction.

Before collision Momentum of A = 1000 x 100 = $10^5$ kg - m/s in the right direction.

Before collision Momentum of B = 2000 x 80 = 1.6 x $10^5$ kg - m/s in upward direction.

Mass of System of after collision = 1000 + 2000 = 3000 kg

Now applying the Momentum Conservation, we get

Initial momentum in right direction = final momentum in right direction = $10^5$

And, Initial momentum in upward direction = Final momentum in upward direction = 1.6 x $10^5$

So, $V_x = \frac{10^5}{3000}$ = $\frac{100}{3}$ m/s

and $V_y=\frac{160}{3}$ m/s

Therefore, velocity is = $\sqrt{V_x^2 + V_y^2}$

= $\sqrt{(\frac{100}{3})^2 + (\frac{160}{3})^2}$

= 62.89 m/s

And direction is

tan θ = $\frac{V_y}{V_x}$ = 1.6

therefore, $\theta = \tan^{-1}1.6$

= $58 ^{\circ}$ from x-axis

Why do you see objects when you shine a flashlight in a dark room?

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

We see objects in a dark room due to the emission of light photons which are sensitive to our eyes. Darkness is simply a terminology used to describe the absence of light. Visible light to human is a component of the electromagnetic spectrum. Our eyes have receptors that picks the photons which light releases

. If she

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

9 meters

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Avi is, $m=40\ kg$

Spring constant is, $k=176,400\ N/m$

Compression in the spring is, $x=20\ cm=0.20\ m$

Let the maximum height reached be 'h' m.

Now, as the spring is compressed, there is elastic potential energy stored in the spring. This elastic potential energy is transferred to Avi in the form of gravitational potential energy.

So, by law of conservation of energy, decrease in elastic potential energy is equal to increase in gravitational potential energy.

Decrease in elastic potential energy is given as:

$EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\EPE=\frac{1}{2}\times 176400\times (0.20)^2\\EPE=88200\times 0.04=3528\ J$
