A 980-kg sports car travelling with a speed of 21 m/s collides into the rear end of a 2300-kg SUV that is stationary at a red li

ght. The bumpers lock, the brakes are locked, and the two cars skid forward a certain distance "d" before stopping (called stopping distance). The police officer estimates the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road to be 0.80. Calculate this stopping distance.

Answer:

Explanation:

After the collision , both the car will have common velocity , which according to conservation of momentum will be as follows

v = 980 x 21 / (980 + 2300)

= 20580 / 3280

= 6.274 m /s

The kinetic energy of both the cars after collision  

= 1/2 x (980+2300) x 6.274²

=  64555.44 J .

frictional force = μ mg where μ is coefficient of friction , mg is weight of both the cars

= .8 x (980+2300) x 9.8

= 25715.2 N

work done by friction will be equal to kinetic energy of car

25715.2 x d = 64555.44 ; where d is displacement of both the cars

d = 2.5  m

A first-order reaction has a rate constant of 0.241/min. if the initial concentration of a is 0.859 m, what is the concentration
nordsb [41]

Answer: 0.077 M

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant = 0.241minute^{-1}

t = time taken for decay process = 10 minutes

a = initial amount of the reactant= 0.859 M

a - x = amount left after decay process =?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.241 minutes^{-1}=\frac{2.303}{10.0}\log\frac{0.859}{a-x}

(a-x)=0.077M

Thus the concentration of a after 10.0 minutes is 0.077 M.

A transverse wave on a rope is given by y(x,t)= (0.750cm)cos(π[(0.400cm−1)x+(250s−1)t]). part a part complete find the amplitude
Pani-rosa [81]
The amplitude of a wave corresponds to its maximum oscillation of the wave itself. 
In our problem, the equation of the wave is
y(x,t)= (0.750cm)cos(\pi [(0.400cm-1)x+(250s-1)t])
We can see that the maximum value of y(x,t) is reached when the cosine is equal to 1. When this condition occurs,
y(x,t)=0.750 cm
and therefore this value corresponds to the amplitude of the wave.

A 5.00-A current runs through a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5 * 1028 free ele
evablogger [386]

Answer:

a)n= 3.125 x 10^{19 electrons.

b)J= 1.515 x 10^{6 A/m²

c)V_{d =1.114 x 10^{4m/s

d) see explanation

Explanation:

Current 'I' = 5A =>5C/s

diameter 'd'= 2.05 x 10^{-3 m

radius 'r' = d/2 => 1.025 x 10^{-3 m

no. of electrons 'n'= 8.5 x 10^{28}

a) the amount of electrons pass through the light bulb each second can be determined by:

I= Q/t

Q= I x t => 5 x 1

Q= 5C

As we know that: Q= ne

where e is the charge of electron i.e 1.6 x 10^{-19C

n= Q/e => 5/ 1.6 x 10^{-19

n= 3.125 x 10^{19 electrons.

b)  the current density 'J' in the wire is given by

J= I/A => I/πr²

J= 5 / (3.14 x (1.025x 10^{-3)²)

J= 1.515 x 10^{6 A/m²

c) The typical speed'V_{d' of an electron is given by:

V_{d = \frac{J}{n|q|}

    =1.515 x 10^{6 / 8.5 x 10^{28} x |-1.6 x 10^{-19|

V_{d =1.114 x 10^{4m/s

d) According to these equations,

J= I/A

V_{d = \frac{J}{n|q|} =\frac{I}{nA|q|}

If you were to use wire of twice the diameter, the current density and drift speed will change

Increase in the diameter increase the cross sectional area and decreases the current density as it has inverse relation.

Also drift velocity will decrease as it is inversely proportional to the area
