To test the resiliency of its bumper during low-speed collisions, a 3 690-kg automobile is driven into a brick wall. The car's b

umper behaves like a spring with a force constant 8.00 106 N/m and compresses 3.86 cm as the car is brought to rest. What was the speed of the car before impact, assuming no mechanical energy is transformed or transferred away during impact with the wall?

Answer:

1.8 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass of the automobile = 3690 kg

k = force constant of the spring = 8 x 10⁶ N/m

x = compression of the spring = 3.86 cm = 0.0386 m

v = speed of the car before impact

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy of automobile before impact = Spring potential energy of bumpers

(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²

(3690) v² = (8 x 10⁶) (0.0386)²

v = 1.8 m/s

A 0.40-kg cart with charge 4.0 x 10-5 C starts at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface 0.50 m from a fixed object with char
maw [93]

Answer:

26.82m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass = m= 0.4kg

Initial Velocity = u = 0

Charge = 4.0E-5C

Distance= d = 0.5m

Object Charge = 2E-4C

First, we'll calculate the initial energy (E)

E = Potential Energy

PE = kQq / d

Where k = coulomb constant = 8.99E9Nm²/C²

Energy is then calculated by;

PE = 8.99E9 * 4E-5 * 2E-4 / 0.5

PE = 143.84J

Energy = Potential Energy = Kinetic Energy

K.E = ½mv² = 143.84J

½mv² = ½ * 0.40 * v² = 143.85

0.2v² = 143.85

v² = 143.85/0.2

v² = 719.25

v = √719.25

v = 26.81883666380777

v = 26.82m/s

Hence, the object is 26.82m/s fast when the cart moving is very far (infinity) from the fixed charge

1. John has to hit a bottle with a ball to win a prize. He throws a 0.4 kg ball with a velocity of 18 m/s. It hits a 0.2 kg bott
Kobotan [32]
 0.4 x 18 = 7.2 kg m/s

The momentum of the bottle after being hit is 0.2 x 25 = 5 kg m/s

7.2 - 5 = 2.2 kg m/s is the motmentum of the ball now 

 the velocity  is 2.2/0.4 = 5.5 m/s

Is 45 m/s2 a scalar or a vector quantity and how do you know?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

it is a vector as it has a magnitude and a direction. If it was a scalar quantity it would just have a magnitude and would be 45 m. Acceleration is an example of a vector quantity
