One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other wor

ds, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 29 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 3.2 and 7.1 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is the one moving initially and the case (b) when the small-mass object is the one moving initially

Answer:

a) The final velocity is 20 m/s when the large-mass object is the one moving initially.

b) The final velocity is 9.0 m/s when the small-mass object is the one moving initially.

Explanation:

The momentum of the system is calculated as the sum of the momenta of each object. Each momentum is calculated as follows:

p = m · v

Where:

p =  momentum.

m =  mass.

v = velocity.

Then, the momentum of the system is the following:

m1 · v1 + m2 · v2 = (m1 + m2) · v

Where:

m1 = mass of the bigger object.

v1 = velocity of the bigger object.

m2 = mass of the smaller object.

v2 = velocity of the smaller object.

v = final velocity of the two objects after the collision.

Solving the equation for the final velocity:

(m1 · v1 + m2 · v2)/ (m1 + m2) = v

a) Let´s calculate the final velocity when the bigger object is moving:

(7.1 kg · 29 m/s + 3.2 kg · 0)/(7.1 kg + 3.2 kg) = v

<u>v = 20 m/s</u>

b) When the smaller object is moving:

(7.1 kg · 0 m/s + 3.2 kg · 29 m/s) / (7.1 kg + 3.2 kg) = v

<u>v = 9.0 m/s</u>

a racing car undergoes a uniform acceleration of 4.00m/s2. if the net force causing the acceleration is 3.00 times 10^3 N, what
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: 750Kg

Explanation:

Recall that force is the product of the mass M, of an object moving at a uniform acceleration.

i.e Force = Mass x Acceleration

In this case, Mass = ?

Force = 3.00 x 10^3 N = (3.00 x 1000N)

= 3000N

Uniform acceleration = 4.00m/s^2

Force = Mass x Acceleration

3000N = Mass x 4.00m/s^2

Mass = (3000N/4.00m/s^2)

Mass = 750Kg (The SI unit of mass is kilograms)

Thus, the mass of the car is 750Kg

The current through a 0.2-H inductor is i(t) = 10te–5t A. What is the energy stored in the inductor?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

E = 10t^2e^-10t Joules

Explanation:

Given that the current through a 0.2-H inductor is i(t) = 10te–5t A.

The energy E stored in the inductor can be expressed as

E = 1/2Ll^2

Substitutes the inductor L and the current I into the formula

E = 1/2 × 0.2 × ( 10te^-5t )^2

E = 0.1 × 100t^2e^-10t

E = 10t^2e^-10t Joules

Therefore, the energy stored in the inductor is 10t^2e^-10t Joules
