1. A 4000-kg truck traveling with a velocity of 20 m/s due south collides headon with a 1350-kg car traveling with a velocity of

10 m/s due north. The two vehicles stick together after the collision. a. What is the momentum of each vehicle prior to the collision? b. What are the size and direction of the total momentum of the two vehicles after they collide?

(a) The momentum of each vehicle prior to collision is 80000 kgm/s for truck and 13500 kgm/s for car.

(b) The size of momentum is 93500 kgm/s and it will be directed towards South.

Explanation:

The mass of the truck moving due south is given as 4000 kg and the speed is 20 m/s. Similarly, the mass of the car moving due north is 1350 kg and the speed is 10 m/s.

(a) Then the momentum of each vehicle can be obtained by the product of mass with their respective speed.

Momentum of truck = Mass * Speed = 4000 * 20 =80000  kgm/s

Similarly, the momentum of car will be

Momentum of car = 1350 * 10 = 13500 kgm/s

So, the momentum of each vehicle prior to collision is 80000 kgm/s for truck and 13500 kgm/s for car.

(b) Since, after collision, the vehicles stick together, the momentum after collision will be equal to the total momentum of both the vehicles before collision. This is because, it will obey conservation of momentum.

Momentum of vehicles after collision = total momentum before collision

Momentum after collision = 80000+13500 = 93500 kgm/s.

The direction of the vehicles after collision will be towards south as the mass and speed of the truck is greater than car. So the impact or force exerted on the car by the truck will be greater and thus both the vehicles will be directed towards south after collision.

Thus, the size of momentum is 93500 kgm/s and it will be directed towards South.

The charges Q1=Q and Q2=4Q that are a distance d apart, repel each other with a force of 1.60 N. What would be the force between
gladu [14]

Answer:

50.4 N

Explanation:

Q1 = Q

Q2 = 4 Q

Distance = d

The force is given by

F = \frac{KQ_{1}Q_{2}}{d^{2}}

1.60 = \frac{4KQ^{2}}{d^{2}}    .... (1)

Now,

Q3 = 2 Q

Q4 = 7 Q

distance = d/3

F' = \frac{9KQ_{3}Q_{4}}{d^{2}}

F' = \frac{126KQ^{2}}{d^{2}}   .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get

F' / 1.60 = 126 / 4

F' = 50.4 N

Thus, the force is 50.4 N.

A 2 m tall, 0.5 m inside diameter tank is filled with water. A 10 cm hole is opened 0.75 m from the bottom of the tank. What is
valina [46]

Answer:

4.75 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the velocity of the existing water is shown below:

Data provided in the question

Tall = 2 m

Inside diameter tank = 2m

Hole opened = 10 cm

Bottom of the tank = 0.75 m

Based on the above information, first we have to determine the height which is

= 2 - 0.75 - 0.10

= 2 - 0.85

= 1.15 m

We assume the following things

1. Compressible flow

2. Stream line followed

Now applied the Bernoulli equation to section 1 and 2

So we get

\frac{P_1}{p_g} + \frac{v_1^2}{2g} + z_1 = \frac{P_2}{p_g} + \frac{v_2^2}{2g} + z_2

where,

P_1 = P_2 = hydrostatic

z_1 = 0

z_2 = h

Now

\frac{v_1^2}{2g} + 0 = \frac{v_2^2}{2g} + h\\\\V_2 < < V_1 or V_2 = 0\\\\Therefore\  \frac{v_1^2}{2g} = h\\\\v_1^2 = 2gh\\\\ v_1 = \sqrt{2gh} \\\\v_1 = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1.15}

= 4.7476 m/sec

= 4.75 m/s
