A 1451 kg car is traveling at 48.0 km/h. How much kinetic energy does it possess? K.E. =

           Kinetic energy  =  (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

BUT . . . in order to use this equation just the way it's written,
the speed has to be in meters per second.  So we'll have to
make that conversion.

        KE  =  (1/2) · (1,451 kg) · (48 km/hr)² · (1000 m/km)² · (1 hr/3,600 sec)²

               =  (725.5) · (48 · 1000 · 1 / 3,600)²  (kg) · (km·m·hr / hr·km·sec)²

               =  (725.5) · ( 40/3 )²  ·  ( kg·m² / sec²)

               =    128,978  joules  (rounded)

A railroad freight car rolls on a track at 3.50 m/s toward two identical coupled freight cars, which are rolling in the same dir
ladessa [460]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem we must be clear about the concept of energy conservation, and kinetic energy with the following sentence

The kinetic energy of the two cars (v = 1.2m / S) plus the kinetic energy of the third car (v = 3.5m / S) must be equal to the kinetic energy of the three cars together.

The kinetic energy is calculated by the following equation.

E=0.5mV^2

m= mass of the cars=26500kg

V=speed

E=kinetic energy

taking into account the above, the following equation is inferred

1=  the cars are separated

2= the cars are togheter

E1=E2

E1=0.5mV1^2+0.5mV1^2+0.5m(Va)^2

where

m= mass of each car

V1= 1.2m/s

Va=3.5,m/S

E2=0.5(3)(m)V^2

m= mass of each car

V=speed (in m/s) of the three coupled cars after the first couples with the other two

Solving

0.5mV1^2+0.5mV1^2+0.5m(Va)^2=0.5(3)(m)V^2

V1^2+V1^2+(Va)^2=(3)V^2.\\2V1^2+(Va)^2=(3)V^2\\V^2=\frac{2V1^2+(Va)^2}{3} \\

V=\sqrt{\frac{2V1^2+(Va)^2}{3}} \\V=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.2)^2+(3.5)^2}{3}} \\\\V=2.245m/s

the speed  of the three coupled cars after the first couples with the other two is 2.245m/s

A truck is traveling at 27 m/s down the interstate highway where you are changing a flat tire. frequency of 185 Hz.
Reil [10]

Answer:

(a) the observed frequency is 200 Hz

(b) the observed frequency is 188 Hz.

Explanation:

speed of the truck, Vs = 27 m/s

frequency of the truck as it approaches, Fs = 185 Hz

(a) Apply Doppler effect to determine the frequency you will hear.

As the truck approaches you, the observed frequency will be higher than the source frequency because of decrease in distance.

F_s = F_o [\frac{V}{V_S + V} ]

Where;

Fo is the observed frequency which is the frequency you will hear.

V is speed of sound in air

F_s = F_o [\frac{V}{V_S + V} ]\\\\185 = F_o [\frac{340}{27 + 340} ]\\\\185 = F_o (0.926)\\\\F_o = \frac{185}{0.926}\\\\F_o = 199.78 \ Hz

F_o = 200 \ Hz

(b) Apply the following formula for a moving observer and a moving source;

F_o = F_s[\frac{V-V_o}{V} ](\frac{V}{V-V_S} )

The observed frequency is negative since you are driving away from the truck and the source frequency is also negative since it is driving towards you.

F_o = F_s[\frac{V-V_o}{V} ](\frac{V}{V-V_S} )\\\\F_o = 185[\frac{340-22}{340} ](\frac{340}{340-27} )\\\\F_o = 185(0.9353)(1.0863)\\\\F_o = 188 \ Hz

A merry-go-round can be modeled as a solid disk of radius R and mass M. Initially, it is rotating on a sturdy frictionless axle
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

w = w₀ M / (M + 2m)

Explanation:

This exercise can be solved using the concepts of conservation of angular momentum

          L = I w

Let's write in angular momentum in two points

Initial. Before impact

        L₀ = I w₀

Final. After the rock has stuck

        L_{f} = I w + (m r²) w

The system is formed by the disk and the rock, so that the forces and moments during the crash are internal and the angular momentum is preserved

        L₀ =  L_{f}

        I w₀ = (I + m r²) w

       w = w₀ I / (I + m r²)

The roundabout is a disk so its moment of inertia is

         I = ½ M r²

        w = w₀ ½ Mr² / (½ M r² + mr²)

        w = w₀ ½ M / (½ M + m)

        w = w₀ ½ M2 / (M + 2m)

        w = w₀ M / (M + 2m)

Help me pls. will give brainliest
Fofino [41]

Answer:

B: Relay

Explanation:

Out of all the options, the only device that relies upon the magnetic field of an electric current.

The principle relies upon the principle of electro magnetic attraction whereby when the circuit detects a faulty current, it makes the electromagnetic field to become energized which in turn produces the temporary magnetic field. This magnetic field then moves the relay armature which is used in opening or closing the connections.
