A car of mass 1000kg is travelling in an eastward ( x) direction with a constant speed of 20m/s. It then hits a stationary truck

. The truck is twice as heavy as the car. After the collision, the car travels in a direction 300 North of East and the truck travels 600 South of East. (a) What are the final speeds of the car and the truck after collision

Answer:

4.33 m/s, 5 m/s

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 1000 kg

initial velocity of car, u = 20 m/s along east

mass of truck, M = 2 x mass of car = 2000 kg

initial velocity of truck, U = 0 m/s

After collision, the velocity of car is v and the direction is 30° North of east.

The velocity of truck is V and the direction is 60° South of east.

Use conservation of momentum along X axis.

m x u = m x v x Cos 30 + M x V x Cos 60

1000 x 20 = 1000 x v x 0.866 + 2000 x V x 0.5

20 = 0.866 v + V   .... (1)

Use conservation of momentum along y axis

0 = m x v x Sin 30 - M x V x Sin 60

0 = 1000 x v x 0.5 - 2000 x V x 0.866

v = 3.464 V    ..... (2)

Substitute the value of v in equation (1)

20 = 0.866 x 3.464 V + V

V = 5 m/s

v = 0.866 x 5 = 4.33 m/s

Thus, the final speed of car is 4.33 m/s and the final speed of truck is 5 m/s after the collision.

An elevator manufacturing company is stress-testing a new elevator in an airless test shaft. The elevator is traveling at an unk
devlian [24]

Answer:

3.192 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 0.900 seconds

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement = 1.1 meters

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{s-\frac{1}{2}at^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{1.1-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 0.9^2}{0.9}\\\Rightarrow u=-3.192\ m/s

Velocity of the elevator when it snapped is 3.192 m/s

Which of the following is equal to the area under a velocity-time graph
Ksenya-84 [330]

-- The area under a velocity/time graph, between two points in time, is the difference in displacement during that period of time.

-- The area under a speed/time graph, between two points in time, is the distance covered during that period of time.

Computers A and B implement the same ISA. Computer A has a clock cycle time of 200 ps and an effective CPI of 1.5 for some progr
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Computer A is 1.41 times faster than the Computer B

Explanation:

Assume that number of instruction in the program is 1

Clock time  of computer A is CT_{A} =200 ps

Clock time  of computer B is CT_{B} =250 ps

Effective CPI of computer A is CPI_{A} =1.5

Effective CPI of computer B isCPI_{B} =1.7

CPU time of A is

CPU_{time}=instructions \times CPA_{A} \times CT_{A}\\CPU_{time}=1 \times 1.5 \times 200=300 sec

CPU time of B is

CPU_{time}=instructions \times CPA_{B} \times CT_{B}\\CPU_{time}=1 \times 1.7 \times 250=425 sec

Hence Computer A is Faster by \frac{425}{300} =1.41

Computer A is 1.41 times faster than the Computer B

Two objects are dropped from rest from the same height. Object A falls through a distance during a time t, and object B falls th
UNO [17]

Answer:

Distance covered by B is 4 times distance covered by A

Explanation:

For an object in free fall starting from rest, the distance covered by the object in a time t is

s=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

s is the distance covered

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time elapsed

In this problem:

- Object A falls through a distance s_A during a time t, so the distance covered by object A is

s_A=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

- Object B falls through a distance s_B during a time 2t, so the distance covered by object B is

s_B=\frac{1}{2}g(2t)^2 = 4(\frac{1}{2}gt^2)=4s_A

So, the distance covered by object B is 4 times the distance covered by object A.
