Two 100 kg bumper cars are moving toward each other in opposite directions. Car A is moving at 8 m/s and Car B at –10 m/s when t

hey collide head–on. If the resulting velocity of Car B after the collision is 8 m/s, what is the velocity of Car A after the collision?
(I saw this question was asked previously, but the person did not provide the correct answer...)

Answer:

$v_a = -10 m/s$

so car A will move with speed 10 m/s in opposite direction

Explanation:

As we know that when two cars collide then the momentum of two cars will remains conserved

so here we have

$P_i = P_f$

mass of two cars = 100 kg

speed of car A = 8 m/s

speed of car B = - 10 m/s

after collision the speed of car B = +8 m/s

now by momentum conservation equation

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

so we have

$100(8) + 100(-10) = 100(v_a) + 100(8)$

so we have

$v_a = -10 m/s$

so car A will move with speed 10 m/s in opposite direction

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

Charge (q) on the particle = 3 × 10⁻⁸ C

mass (m) of the particle = 6 × 10⁻⁹ kg

at a distance x = 15 cm , the velocity in the plate = 900 m/s²

For the square plate, the surface charged density σ = -8 × 10⁻⁶ C/m²

To start with calculating the electric field as a result of the square plate; we use the formula;

$E = \dfrac{\sigma }{2 \varepsilon_o}$

$E = \dfrac{8 \times 10^{-6} }{2 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12}}$

$E = 4.51977 \times 10^5 \ V/m$

On the square plate; The electric force F = Eq

$F = (4.51977 \times 10^5 \ V/m )(3\times 10^{-8} \ C)$

$F = 1.3559 \times 10^{-2} \ N$

The acceleration $a =\dfrac{ F}{m}{$

$a = \dfrac{1.3559\times 10^{-2} \ N}{6 \times 10^{-9} \ Kg}$

$a = 2.25988 \times 10^6 \ m/s^2$

For the particle, the velocity at distance x = 7 m can be calculated by using the formula:

$(\dfrac{1}{2}) mv^2 = \Delta Vq$

$v^2 = \dfrac{2 Eq}{dm}$

$v^2 = \dfrac{2 * 4.51977 \times 10^5 \times 3 \times 10^{-8} }{0.07 \times 6\times 10^{-9} }$

$v^2 = 64568142.86 \ m/s$

$v =\sqrt{ 64568142.86 \ m/s}$

$\mathbf{v = 8.035 \times 10^3 \ m/s}$

From the calculation, we realize that the charge acting between the particle and the plate is said to be "opposite".

Hence, the force is an attractive force.

Similarly, there is a gradual increase exhibited by the velocity of the particle.

Therefore, the particles get to the detector, but the detector failed to get detect due to the velocity which is greater than 1000 m/s.

A saturated solution of lead(II) nitrate was made at 50 °C using 100 g of water, and this was then allowed to cool to 30 °C. Pre

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: The temperature of solution will decease along with the precipitation of solid lead nitrate in solution.

Explanation:

Solubility of the substance is directly effect by the temperature of the solvent.

This is because the kinetic energy of the solvent increase as temperature increase due to which solvent easily breaks apart the solute particles easily and faster which will result in solubility of more solute in solvent and vice versa.

So, when prepared saturated solution of lead nitrate at 50°C was allowed to cool down to 30°C one will observe that the precipitation of solid lead nitrate in solution. And this means that solubility of lead nitrate with decrease in temperature decreases as well.

A drum rotates around its central axis at an angular velocity of 19.8 rad/s. If the drum then slows at a constant rate of 3.02 r

Debora [2.8K]

a) Time taken =6.39 s

b) Angle of rotation while coming to rest = 188.17 rad

<u>Explanation:</u>

Initial angular velocity of the drum $\omega_{0} = 19.8 rad/s^{2}$

Angular acceleration of the drum $\alpha = -3.02 rad/s^{2}$

a.) We know that

$\omega =\omega_{0} + \alpha t$

$0 = 19.8 - 3.02 t$

$t = \frac{19.8}{3.02}$

$t = 6.39s$

b.) we know that

$\theta = \omega_{0} t + \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^{2}$

$\theta = 19.8 \times 6.39 + \frac{1}{2} \times 3.02 \times 6.39^{2}$

$\theta =188.17 rad$
