A 1,600 kg train car rolling freely on level track at 16 m/s bumps into a 1.0 × 103 kg train car moving at 10.0 m/s in the same

emmainna [20.7K]

This item is solved through the concept of the conservation of momentum which states that the momentum before and after collision should be equal.
momentum = mass x velocity
(1,600 kg)(16 m/s) + (1.0x10^3 kg)(10 m/s) = (1600 + 1000 kg)(x)
The value of x is 13.69 m/s. Thus, their final speed is approximately letter D. 14 m/s.

A box slides down a frictionless plane inclined at an angle θ above the horizontal. The gravitational force on the box is direct

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

D) Vertically.

Explanation:

A free body diagram is used to represent all the forces acting in a body. forces like, the force of gravity as a result of the gravitational interaction between the object and the Earth (W), the frictional force opposite to the movement of the object ( $F_{r}$ ), the normal force due to the plane and the object (N) and the force applied to start the movement in a particular direction (F).

As is show in the free body diagram of the system, W, which is the weight of the body as a consequence of the gravitational force, is at an angle $\theta$ below the inclined plane. that angle between the plane and the x axis is the same that the one of the inclined plane with respect to the horizontal, Since its sides are perpendicular.

Notice how W goes always in the direction to the center of mass of Earth in a vertical path (For comparison see figure (a) and (b)).

Look at the diagram. Emily needs to complete the circuit. What two points should be connected to complete the circuit and make t

pogonyaev

Answer:

The points 2 and 4 should be connected.

Explanation:

To complete the circuit, we need to connect the two points which when connected, encompass the battery and the bulb in the circuit. The points 2 and 4 do the job, since they connect the terminal of the battery and the terminal of the bulb, and thus complete the circuit.

Therefore, the choice C is correct.

A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 80.0 N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

(a) 91 kg (2 s.f.) (b) 22 m

Explanation:

Since it is stated that a constant horizontal force is applied to the block of ice, we know that the block of ice travels with a constant acceleration and but not with a constant velocity.

(a)

$s \ = \ ut \ + \ \displaystyle\frac{1}{2} at^{2} \\ \\ a \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{2(s \ - \ ut)}{t^{2}} \\ \\ a \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{2(11 \ - \ 0)}{5^{2}} \\ \\ a \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{22}{25} \\ \\ a \ = \ 0.88 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-2}}$

Subsequently,

$F \ = \ ma \\ \\ m \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{F}{a} \\ \\ m \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{80 \ \mathrm{kg \ m \ s^{-2}}}{0.88 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-2}}} \\ \\ m \ = \ 91 \mathrm{kg} \ \ \ \ \ \ (2 \ \mathrm{s.f.})$

*Note that the equations used above assume constant acceleration is being applied to the system. However, in the case of non-uniform motion, these equations will no longer be valid and in turn, calculus will be used to analyze such motions.

(b) To find the final velocity of the ice block at the end of the first 5 seconds,

$v \ = \ u \ + \ at \\ \\ v \ = \ 0 \ + \ (0.88 \mathrm{m \ s^{-2}})(5 \ \mathrm{s}) \\ \\ v \ = \ 4.4 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-1}}$

According to Newton's First Law which states objects will remain at rest

or in uniform motion (moving at constant velocity) unless acted upon by

an external force. Hence, the block of ice by the end of the first 5

seconds, experiences no acceleration (a = 0) but travels with a constant

velocity of 4.4 $m \ s^{-1}$ .

$s \ = \ ut \ + \ \displaystyle\frac{1}{2}at^{2} \\ \\ s \ = \ (4.4 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-2}})(5 \ \mathrm{s}) \ + \ \displaystyle\frac{1}{2}(0)(5^{2}) \\ \\ s \ = \ 22 \ \mathrm{m}$

Therefore, the ice block traveled 22 m in the next 5 seconds after the

worker stops pushing it.

A projectile is fired horizontally from a height of 78.4 m at a speed of 300 m/sec. How far did it travel horizontally before hi

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating range expressed as;

R = U√2H/g

U is the speed = 300m/s

H is the maximum height = 78.4m

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Substitute into the fromula;

R = 300√2(78.4)/9.8

R = 300 √(16)

R = 300*4

R = 1200m

Hence the projectile travelled 1200m before hitting the ground
