A(n) 1400-kg car going at 6.32 m/s in the positive x direction collides with a 2900-kg truck at rest. The collision is totally i

nelastic and takes place over an interval of 0.203 s. Assume that no brakes are applied during the collision and the car strikes the rear of the truck. Neglect the friction between the vehicles and the ground.
What is the average x component of the acceleration of the car during the collision?
What is the average x component of the acceleration of the truck during the collision?

Answer:

a) Acceleration of the car is given as

$a_{car} = -21 m/s^2$

b) Acceleration of the truck is given as

$a_{truck} = 10.15 m/s^2$

Explanation:

As we know that there is no external force in the direction of motion of truck and car

So here we can say that the momentum of the system before and after collision must be conserved

So here we will have

$m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v$

now we have

$1400 (6.32) + 2900(0) = (1400 + 2900) v$

$v = 2.06 m/s$

a) For acceleration of car we know that it is rate of change in velocity of car

so we have

$a_{car} = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a_{car} = \frac{2.06 - 6.32}{0.203}$

$a_{car} = -21 m/s^2$

b) For acceleration of truck we will find the rate of change in velocity of the truck

so we have

$a_{truck} = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a_{truck} = \frac{2.06 - 0}{0.203}$

$a_{truck} = 10.15 m/s^2$

According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wave lengt

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:1.55 times

Explanation:

Given

First wavelength $(\lambda _1)=450 nm$

Second wavelength $(\lambda _2)=700 nm$

According wien's diplacement law

$\lambda T=constant$

where $\lambda =wavelength$

T=Temperature

Let $T_1 and T_2$ be the temperatures corresponding to $\lambda _1 & \lambda _2$ respectively.

$\lambda _1\times T_1=\lambda _2\times T_2$

$\frac{T_1}{T_2}=\frac{\lambda _2}{\lambda _1}$

$\frac{T_1}{T_2}=\frac{700}{450}=1.55$

Thus object with $\lambda 450 nm$ is 1.55 times hotter than object with wavelength $\lambda =700 nm$

Answer:

1)

When a charge is in motion in a magnetic field, the charge experiences a force of magnitude

$F=qvB sin \theta$

where here:

For the proton in this problem:

$q=1.602\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the charge of the proton

v = 300 m/s is the speed of the proton

B = 19 T is the magnetic field

$\theta=65^{\circ}$ is the angle between the directions of v and B

So the force is

$F=(1.602\cdot 10^{-19})(300)(19)(sin 65^{\circ})=8.28\cdot 10^{-16} N$

2)

The magnetic field produced by a bar magnet has field lines going from the North pole towards the South Pole.

The density of the field lines at any point tells how strong is the magnetic field at that point.

If we observe the field lines around a magnet, we observe that:

- The density of field lines is higher near the Poles

- The density of field lines is lower far from the Poles

Therefore, this means that the magnetic field of a magnet is stronger near the North and South Pole.

3)

The right hand rule gives the direction of the force experienced by a charged particle moving in a magnetic field.

It can be applied as follows:

- Direction of index finger = direction of motion of the charge

- Direction of middle finger = direction of magnetic field

- Direction of thumb = direction of the force (for a negative charge, the direction must be reversed)

In this problem:

- Direction of motion = to the right (index finger)

- Direction of field = downward (middle finger)

- Direction of force = into the screen (thumb)

4)

The radius of a particle moving in a magnetic field is given by:

$r=\frac{mv}{qB}$

where here we have:

$m=6.64\cdot 10^{-22} kg$ is the mass of the alpha particle

$v=2155 m/s$ is the speed of the alpha particle

$q=2\cdot 1.602\cdot 10^{-19}=3.204\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the charge of the alpha particle

B = 12.2 T is the strength of the magnetic field

Substituting, we find:

$r=\frac{(6.64\cdot 10^{-22})(2155)}{(3.204\cdot 10^{-19})(12.2)}=0.366 m$

5)

The cyclotron frequency of a charged particle in circular motion in a magnetic field is:

$f=\frac{qB}{2\pi m}$

where here:

$q=1.602\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the charge of the electron

B = 0.0045 T is the strength of the magnetic field

$m=9.31\cdot 10^{-31} kg$ is the mass of the electron

Substituting, we find:

$f=\frac{(1.602\cdot 10^{-19})(0.0045)}{2\pi (9.31\cdot 10^{-31})}=1.23\cdot 10^8 Hz$

6)

When a charged particle moves in a magnetic field, its path has a helical shape, because it is the composition of two motions:

1- A uniform motion in a certain direction

2- A circular motion in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field

The second motion is due to the presence of the magnetic force. However, we know that the direction of the magnetic force depends on the sign of the charge: when the sign of the charge is changed, the direction of the force is reversed.

Therefore in this case, when the particle gains the opposite charge, the circular motion 2) changes sign, so the path will remains helical, but it reverses direction.

7)

The electromotive force induced in a conducting loop due to electromagnetic induction is given by Faraday-Newmann-Lenz:

$\epsilon=-\frac{N\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}$

where

N is the number of turns in the loop

$\Delta \Phi$ is the change in magnetic flux through the loop

$\Delta t$ is the time elapsed

From the formula, we see that the emf is induced in the loop (and so, a current is also induced) only if $\Delta \Phi \neq 0$ , which means only if there is a change in magnetic flux through the loop: this occurs if the magnetic field is changing, or if the area of the loop is changing, or if the angle between the loop and the field is changing.

8)

The flux is calculated as

$\Phi = BA sin \theta$

where

B = 5.5 T is the strength of the magnetic field

A is the area of the coil

$\theta=18^{\circ}$ is the angle between the direction of the field and the plane of the loop

Here the loop is rectangular with lenght 15 cm and width 8 cm, so the area is

$A=(0.15 m)(0.08 m)=0.012 m^2$

So the flux is

$\Phi = (5.5)(0.012)(sin 18^{\circ})=0.021 Wb$

A body oscillates with simple harmonic motion along the x axis. Its displacement varies with time according to the equation x =

frutty [35]

Answer:

θ = (7π / 3) rad

Explanation:

given,

displacement of simple harmonic motion along x-axis

equation is given as

x = 5 sin (π t + π/3 )

general equation of simple harmonic motion

x = A sin θ

θ is the phase angle

θ = π t + π/3

at t = 2 s

$\theta =\pi \times 2 +\dfrac{\pi}{3}$

$\theta =\dfrac{7\pi}{3}\ rad$

Phase of the motion at t =2 s is θ = (7π / 3) rad
