Given two identical 2.2 kg masses. The first mass is moving with a velocityFind the kinetic energy of the compound system immedi

ately after the collision. Answer in units of J.v1 immediately before colliding with the second mass, which is suspended by a string of length 0.82 m . The two masses are stuck together as a result of the collision. The compound system then swings to the right and rises to the horizontal level. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2

Answer:

E_k = 0.55v_1^2 J

h = 0.0128v_1^2

where v_1 is the initial velocity of the moving block

Explanation:

We can apply the law of momentum conservation to calculate the compund velocity post-collision:

m_1v_1 +m_2v_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v

where m_1 = m_2 = 2.2 kg are the masses of block 1 (the moving block) and block 2. v_1 , v_2 are the initial velocities before collision of block 1 and 2, and v_2 = 0m/s as it's at rest initially.

2.2v_1 + 0 = (2.2 + 2.2)v

v = 2.2v_1/4.4 = 0.5v_1

So the kinetic energy right after the collision is

E_k = \frac{(m_1 + m_2)v^2}{2} = \frac{(2.2 + 2.2)(0.5v_1)^2}{2} = \frac{4.4*0.25v_1^2}{2} = 0.55v_1^2 J

To calculate the horizontal level where the compound rises to, we need to apply the law energy conservation. As the compound rises its kinetic energy is converted to potential energy:

E_p = E_k

mgh = mv^2/2

where m is the mass and h is the vertical distance traveled, v is the velocity at the bottom, and g = 9.8 m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration.We can divide both sides by m:

gh = v^2/2

h = v^2/(2g) = (0.5v_1)^2/(2g) = v_1^2/(8*9.8) = 0.0128v_1^2

A car weighing 14,700 N is speeding down a highway with a velocity of 99 km/h. What is the
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: 148348.6239 kg•m/s

Explanation: Firstly, we need to convert the 14700 N into kilograms, and to do so, use the formula net force is equal to mass times acceleration and rearrange the formula to find mass like shown below...

F = ma

F/a = m

14700/9.81 = 1498.470948 kg, this is your mass

Now that we convert it into kilograms, plug all the numbers into the variable of the momentum formula.

Momentum formula is P = mass x velocity

Like this:

P = 1498.470948 x 99

p = 148348.6239 kg•m/s.

I believe that is your answer, hope that helps you even a bit out.

Thanks.

Malcolm and Ravi raced each other. The average of their maximum speeds was 260 km/h If doubled, Malcolm's maximum speed would be
AfilCa [17]

Answer

Given,

Average speed of Malcolm and Ravi = 260 km/h

Let speed of the Malcolm be X and speed of the Ravi Y.

From the given statement

\dfrac{X+Y}{2}=260

X + Y = 520 ....(i)

2X - Y = 80  ....(ii)

Adding both the equations

3 X = 600

 X = 200 km/h

Putting value in equation (i)

Y = 520 - 200

Y = 320 Km/h

Speed of Malcolm = 200 Km/h

Speed of Ravi = 320 Km/h

To calibrate the calorimeter electrically, a constant voltage of 3.6 V is applied and a current of 2.6 A flows for a period of 3
hodyreva [135]

Answer : The correct option is, (c) 3.7\times 10^2J/^oC

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the energy or heat.

Formula used :

E=V\times I\times t

where,

E = energy (in joules)

V = voltage (in volt)

I = current (in ampere)

t = time (in seconds)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

E=(3.6V)\times (2.6A)\times (350s)

E=3276J

Now we have to calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter.

Formula used :

C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}=\frac{E}{T_{final}-T_{initial}}

where,

C = heat capacity of the calorimeter

T_{initial} = initial temperature = 20.3^oC

T_{final} = final temperature = 29.1^oC

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

C=\frac{3276J}{(29.1-20.3)^oC}

C=372.27J/^oC=3.7\times 10^2J/^oC

Therefore, the heat capacity of the calorimeter is, 3.7\times 10^2J/^oC
