Use the values from PRACTICE IT to help you work this exercise. Suppose the same two vehicles are both traveling eastward, the c

ompact car leading the pickup truck. The driver of the compact car slams on the brakes suddenly, slowing the vehicle to 5.79 m/s. If the pickup truck traveling at 18.5 m/s crashes into the compact car, find the following.
A. the speed of the system right after the collision, assuming the two vehicles become entangled
B. the change in velocity for both vehicles
C. the change in kinetic energy of the system, from the instant before impact (when the compact car is traveling at 5.79 m/s) to the instant right after the collision

The masses are, pickup truck mass of 1.73 multiply.gif 103 kg and compact car mass of 9.32 multiply.gif 102 kg

Answer:

A. v_{3}=12.17m/s

B. v_{car}=6.3m/s\\v_{truck}=-6.3m/s

C. ΔK=-4.13x10^3J

Explanation:

From the exercise we know that the car and the truck are traveling eastward. I'm going to name the car 1 and the truck 2

v_{1}=5.79m/s\\m_{1}=102kg\\v_{2}=18.5m/s\\m_{2}=103kg

A. Since the two vehicles become entangled the final mass is:

m_{3}=102kg+103kg=205kg

From linear momentum we got that:

p_{1}=p_{2}

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{3}v_{3}

v_{3}=\frac{m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}}{m_{3} }=\frac{(102kg)(5.79m/s)+(103kg)(18.5m/s)}{(205kg)}

v_{3}=12.17m/s

B. The change in velocity of both vehicles are:

For the car

v_{car}=v_{f}-v_{o}=12.17m/s-5.79m/s=6.38m/s

For the truck

v_{truck}=12.17m/s-18.5m/s=-6.3m/s

C. The change in kinetic energy is:

ΔK=K_{2}-K_{1} =\frac{1}{2}m_{3}v_{3}^{2}-(\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2})

ΔK=\frac{1}{2}(205)(12.17)^{2}-(\frac{1}{2}(102)(5.79)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}(103)(18.5)^{2})=-4.13x10^{3}J

ΔK=-4.13x10^{3}J

What information did the movement of the bubble over a specified distance in the calibrated respirometer provide
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The following explanatory section gives an explanation of this question.

Explanation:

  • This means that perhaps the bubble moves more than a certain duration throughout the calibration breath meter offers the rate as well as oxygenation consumed inside this cell.
  • Inside that respirometer, oscillation of something like the bubble gave a technique of multiplying the quantity of oxygenation that is used by the seedlings mostly through cell membrane breathing.

A small particle starts from rest from the origin of an xy-coordinate system and travels in the xy-plane. Its acceleration in th
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The x-coordinate of the particle is 24 m.

Explanation:

In order to obtain the x-coordinate of the particle, you have to apply the equations for Two Dimension Motion

Xf=Xo+Voxt+0.5axt²(I)

Yf=Yo+Voyt+0.5ayt² (II)

Where Xo, Yo are the initial positions, Xf and Yf are the final positions, Vox and Voy are the initial velocities, ax and ay are the accerelations in x and y directions, t is the time.

The particle starts from rest from the origin, therefore:

Vox=Voy=0

Xo=Yo=0

Replacing Yf=12, Yo=0 and Voy=0 in (I) and solving for t:

12=0+(0)t+ 0.5(1.0)t²

12=0.5t²

Dividing by 0.5 and extracting thr squareroot both sides:

t=√12/0.5

t=√24 = 2√6

Replacing t=2√6, ax=2.0,Xo=0 and Vox=0 in (I) to obain the x-coordinate:

Xf=0+0t+0.5(2.0)(2√6)²

Xf= 24 m
