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.

An Olympic discus thrower (~100 kg) launches the 2.0 kg discus by spinning rapidly (~4 times per second) with arm outstretched (
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

F = 1263.03 N

Explanation:s

given,                      

mass of the disk thrower = 100 Kg

mass of the disk = 2 Kg                

angular speed of the disk  = 4 rev/s

arm outstretched = 1 m                  

centripetal force of the disk in the circular path

F = m ω² r                        

ω = 4 x 2 x π        

ω = 25.13 rad/s

F = m ω² r                      

F = 2 x 25.13² x 1

F = 1263.03 N                                              

hence, centripetal force equal to the F = 1263.03 N

Enzyme reaction and deactivation Lipase is being investigated as an additive to laundry detergent for removal of stains from fab
natita [175]

Answer:

t= 27.38 mins [this the time taken by the enzyme to hydrolyse 80% of the fat present]

Explanation:given values

Half life of lipase t_1/2 = 8 min x 60s/min = 480 s

Rate constant for first order reaction

k_d = 0.6932/480 = 1.44 x 10^-3 s-1

Initial fat concentration S_0 = 45 mol/m3 = 45 mmol/L

rate of hydrolysis Vm0 = 0.07 mmol/L/s

Conversion X = 0.80

Final concentration S = S_0(1-X) = 45 (1-0.80) = 9 mol/m3

K_m = 5mmol/L

time take is given by

t= -\frac{1}{K_d}ln[1-\frac{K_d}{V_m_0}(k_mln\frac{s_0}{s}+(s_0-s))]

all values are given and putting these value we get

t=1642.83 secs

which is equal to

t= 27.38 mins [this the time taken by the enzyme to hydrolyse 80% of the fat present]
