Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1050 kg and was approaching at

6.00 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 750 kg and was approaching at 25.0 m/s due west.

Answer:

v = 11.0 m/s at 198.6° (18.6° south of west)

ΔKE = -145 kJ

Explanation:

I assume you want to find the final velocity and the change in kinetic energy.

Take east to be +x and north to be +y.

Momentum is conserved in the x direction:

(1050 kg) (0 m/s) + (750 kg) (-25.0 m/s) = (1050 kg + 750 kg) vₓ

vₓ = -10.4 m/s

Momentum is conserved in the y direction:

(1050 kg) (-6.00 m/s) + (750 kg) (0 m/s) = (1050 kg + 750 kg) vᵧ

vᵧ = -3.50 m/s

The magnitude of the final velocity is:

v² = (-10.4 m/s)² + (-3.50 m/s)²

v = 11.0 m/s

The direction of the final velocity is:

θ = atan(-3.50 m/s / -10.4 m/s)

θ = 198.6°

The initial kinetic energy is:

KE₀ = ½ (1050 kg) (6.00 m/s)² + ½ (750 kg) (25.0 m/s)²

KE₀ = 253,275 J

The final kinetic energy is:

KE = ½ (1800 kg) (11.0 m/s)²

KE = 108,682 J

The change in kinetic energy is:

ΔKE = 108,682 J − 253,275 J

ΔKE ≈ -145,000 J

A charge of 4 nc is placed uniformly on a square sheet of nonconducting material of side 17 cm in the yz plane. (a) what is the

Ratling [72]

The charge density of the sheet is 1.384×10⁻⁷C/m².

Charge density is defined as the charge per unit area.

The sheet is a square of length l=17 cm.

Calculate the area A of the sheet .

$A=l^2=(17 cm)^2= (17*10^-^2m)^2=0.0289 m^2$

The charge Q on the sheet is

$Q=4nC=4*10^-^9C$

The charge density σ is given by,

$\sigma=\frac{Q}{A}$

Substitute 4×10⁻⁹C for Q and 0.0289 m² for A.

$\sigma=\frac{Q}{A}\\ =\frac{4*10^-^9C}{0.0289 m^2} \\ =1.389*10^-^7C/m^2$

Thus, the charge density of the sheet is <u>1.384×10⁻⁷C/m².</u>

A 75.0 kg stunt man jumps from a balcony and falls 24.0

Anika [276]

Answer:

The force that acts on the man equals 15354.75 newtons.

Explanation:

After falling through a distance of 24.0 meters the speed of the stunt man upon hitting the mattress can be obtained using third equation of kinematics as

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2gh\\\\\therefore v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 24}\\\\v=21.7m/s$ ( u=0 since the man falls from rest)

Now since the man is decelerated through a distance of 1.15 meters thus the acceleration produced can be obtained from third equation of kinematics as

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as\\\\0=u^{2}=2as\\\\a=\frac{-u^{2}}{2s}\\\\a=-\frac{(21.7^{2}}{2\times 1.15}=-204.73m/s^{2}$

Now by newton's second law the force that produced deceleration of the calculated magnitude is obtained as

$F=mass\times acceleration\\\\F=75.0\times -204.73=-15354.75Newtons$

The negative sign indicates that the direction of force is opposite of motion.

Answer:

The magnetic field strength is $B = 2 \mu T$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length line above the ground is $R = 20m$

The current of the line is $I = 200A$

The voltage of the line is $V = 110kV$

Generally magnetic field strength is mathematically represented as

$B = \frac{\mu_o I}{2 \pi R}$

Where $\mu_0$ is the permeability of free space $= 4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2$

$B = \frac{(4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2) *200}{2 \pi *20}$

$= (2.0*10^{-7})[\frac{200}{20} ]$

$= 2*10^{-6}T$

$= 2 \mu T$

Earths magnetic field is approximately given as $50 \mu T$

So the percentage would be

$= \frac{Magnetic \ Field \ Intensity \ Of \ Line}{Earth's \ Magnetic \ Field} * 100$

$= \frac{2 \mu T }{50 \mu T } * 100$

$=4$ %

A piece of plastic has a net charge of +9.9 μC. How many more protons than electrons does this piece of plastic have? (e = 1.60

Leto [7]

Answer:

The number of protons 6.19 more than electron.

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge $Q=+9.9\times10^{-6}\ C$

We know that,

formula of charge

$Q = nc$

Where,

Q = total charge

n = number of protons

e = charge of electron

Put the value into the formula

$n = \dfrac{Q}{e}$

$n=\dfrac{9.9\times10^{-6}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}$

$n=6.1875\times10^{13}\ C$

According to statement of question

Divide the answer by $10^{13}$

$n=\dfrac{6.1875\times10^{13}}{10^{13}}$

$n=6.19\ C$

Hence, The number of protons 6.19 more than electron.
