Momentum = mass x velocity

Before collision
Momentum 1 = 2 kg x 20 m /s = 40 kg x m/s
Momentum 2 = 3 kg x -10m/s = -30 kg x m/s

After collision
Momentum 1 = 2 kg x -5 m/s = -10 m/s
Momentum 2 = 3 kg x V2 = 3V2

Total momentum before = total momentum after
40 + -30 = -10 + 3V2
V2 = 6.67 m/s

Total kinetic energy before
= (1/2) [ 2 kg * 20 m/s * 2 + 3 kg * ( -10 m/s) *2 ]
= 550 J

Total kinetic energy after
= (1/2) [ 2 kg * ( - 5 m/s) * 2 + 3 kg * 6.67 m/s *2 ]
= 91.73 J

Total kinetic energy lost during collision
=550 J - 91.73 J
= 458.27 J

Kinetic energy before:

E = 0.5mv^2 + 0.5mv^2

= 0.5*2*20^2 + 0.5*3*(-10)^2

= 400 + 150

= 550J

Kinetic energy after:

E = 0.5mv^2

= 0.5*2*(-5)^2

= 25J

Kinetic energy lost during the collision:

E = 550 - 25

= 525J

I need help with a physics worksheet about Newtons Laws.

Viktor [21]

The diagram of the object on the inclined plane is shown below

The mass of 7kg is exerted on the plane surface. It is acted upon by gravity. The force exerted on the surface is calculated by applying the formula,

F = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Assumme acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s^2, then

Force = 7 x 9.8 = 68.6N

The surface exerts an opposite force of the same magnitude with the force of the object but in opposite direction. Since it is inclined at an angle of 36.9 degrees,

Normal force = mgCosθ = 68.6Cos36.9 = 54.86N

Recall, frictional force = normal reaction x coefficient of friction

Given that coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.35,

Frictional force = 54.86 x 0.35 = 19.201N

This is the force that must be overcome to keep the object moving.

The force pulling the object upwards along the inclined plane is

mgSinθ = 7 x 9.8 x Sin36.9 = 41.19N

Since the velocity is constant, it means that there is no acceleration. The net force is zero. The force required to pull the mass and make it move at constant velocity must be equal to the sum of the exerted force and the the frictional force(Since it involves coeffricient of kinetic friction, it would cause the object to keep moving)

Thus,

Required force = 19.2 + 41.19 = 60.4N

Option E is correct

Answer:

distance of 2nd team from 1st team will be: 58.2

Direction of 2nd team from 1st team will be: 14.90 deg North of east

Explanation:

ASSUME Vector is R and makes angle A with +x-axis,

therefore component of vector R is

$R_x = Rcos A$

$R_y = Rsin A$

From above relation

Assuming base camp as the origin, location of 1st team is

$R_1 = 37 km$ away at 21 deg North of west (North of west is in 2nd quadrant, So x is -ve and y is positive)

$R_{1x} = -R_1*cos A_1 = -37*cos 21 deg = -34.54 km$

$R_{1y} = R_1*sin A_1 = 37*sin 21 deg = 13.25 km$

location of 2nd team is at

$R_2 = 32 km$ , at 38 deg East of North = 32 km, at 58 deg North of east (North of east is in 1st quadrant, So x and y both are +ve)

$R_{2x} = R_2*cos A_2 = 32*cos 58 deg = 16.95 km$

$R_{2y} = R_2*sin A_2 = 32*sin 58 deg = 27.13 km$

Now position of 2nd team with respect to 1st team will be given by:

$R_3 = R_2 - R_1$

$R_3 = (R_{2x} - R_{1x}) i + (R_{2y} - R_{1y}) j$

Using above values:

$R_3 = (16.95 - (-34.54)) i + (27.13 - 13.42) j$

$R_3 = 51.49 i + 13.71 j$

distance of 2nd team from 1st team will be:

$\left | R_3 \right | = \sqrt (51.49^2 +13.71^2)$

$\left | R_3 \right | = 53.28 km = 58.2 km$

Direction of 2nd team from 1st team will be:

$Direction = tan^{-1} \frac{R_{3y}}{R_{3x}} = tan^{-1}[ \frac{13.71}{51.49}]$

Direction = 14.90 deg North of east

How does vacuum reduce thermal energy transfer

FrozenT [24]

The silver coating on the inner bottle prevents heat transfer by radiation, and the vacuum between its double wall prevents heat moving by convection. The thinness of the glass walls stops heat entering or leaving the flask by conduction.
