When cars are equipped with flexible bumpers, they will bounce off each other during low-speed collisions, thus causing less dam

age. In one such accident, a 1850 kg car traveling to the right at 1.50 m/s collides with a 1400 kg car going to the left at 1.10 m/s . Measurements show that the heavier car's speed just after the collision was 0.250 m/s in its original direction. You can ignore any road friction during the collision.
What was the speed of the lighter car just after the collision?

Answer:

0.55 m/s

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of lighter car, m = 1400 kg

Mass of heavier car, M = 1850 kg

Initial speed of lighter car, u = -1.10 m/s (since it's moving to the left)

Initial speed of heavier car, U = 1.5 m/s

Final sped of heavier car, V = 0.25 m/s

Using the principle of conservation of momentum, total initial momentum is equal to total final momentum:

m*u + M*U = m*v + M*V

Inputting the values:

(1400 * -1.1) + (1850 * 1.5) = (1400 * v) + (1850 * 0.25)

-1540 + 2775 = 1400v + 462.5

1235 = 1400v + 462.5

1400v = 772.5

v = 772.5/1400

v = 0.55 m/s

Relative to the movement of the building,  a mass damper on the roof of an earthquake resistant building move in the opposite direction.  The correct option is C.

<h3>What is mass damper?</h3>

Mass dampers absorbs the kinetic energy of the waves, converting them into the heat energy. This heat energy is dissipated to the hydraulic fluid.

The mass dampers used on roof of the buildings are called as the tuned mass dampers. They are also known as seismic dampers. When seismic wave strikes the building, it vibrates and sways. The kinetic energy of theses waves are absorbed by movement of the mass damper. The kinetic energy is converted to the heat energy which in turn is transmitted to the fluid.

Relative to the movement of the building, a mass damper on the roof of an earthquake resistant building move in the opposite direction.

Thus, the correct option is C.

tester [92]

Answer:

As the mass of a white dwarf increases, the pressure must increase to resist gravity. To do this, the electrons must move faster.

Explanation:

A white dwarf also known as degenerate dwarf is a star or an electron degenerate matter and is as massive as the Sun but only about as large in size as planet Earth.

The maximum mass of a white dwarf is about 1.4 times the mass of the Sun.

Also, as the mass of a white dwarf increases, the pressure must increase to resist gravity and to do this, the electrons must move faster.
