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

None of the above are the name of an air mass. This is probably a trick question.

Calculate the voltage (in volts) of a solar cell that generates a current of 139 milliamps and has a resistance of 6 ohms.

valkas [14]

Answer:

834 milli-volts

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Current = 139 milliamps = 139 × 10⁻³ A

resistance = 6 ohms

Now,

The relation between the current , resistance and voltage is given as:

Voltage = Current × Resistance

on substituting the respective values, we get

Voltage = 139 × 10⁻³ × 6

or

Voltage = 834 milli-volts

A lowly high diver pushes off horizontally with a speed of 2.00 m/s from the platform edge 10.0 m above the surface of the water

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

(a) 1.6m

(b) 6.86m

(c) 2.86s

Explanation:

This is a horizontal shooting problem, so we will use the following equations.

For horizontal distance x we use:

$x(t)=x_{0}+v_{0}t$

Where $x(t)$ is the horizontal distance at a time $t$ , $x_{0}$ is the initial horizontal position which in this case will be zero: $x_{0}=0$ . And $v_{0}$ is the initial speed: $v_{0}=2m/s$

So to solve (a):

(a) At what horizontal distance from the edge is the diver 0.800 s after pushing off?

we have that the time is: $t=0.8s$ so the horizontal distance is:

$x(0.8)=(2m/s)(0.8s)1.6m$

<u>The answer for (a) is 1.6m</u>

Now, to solve (b) we need the equation for vertical distance:

$y(t)=y_{0}-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Where $y(t)$ is the vertical distance at a time $t$ , $y_{0}$ is the initial vertical distance: $y_{0}=10m$ And $g$ is the gravitational acceleration: $g=9.81m/s^2$ }

(b) At what vertical distance above the surface of the water is the diver just then?

The time is the same as in the last question: $t=0.8s$

$y(0.8)=10m-\frac{1}{2}(9.81m/s^2)(0.8)^2$

$y(0.8)=10m-\frac{1}{2}(9.81m/s^2)(0.64s^2)$

$y(0.8)=10m-\frac{1}{2}(6.2784m)$

$y(0.8)=10m-(3.1392)$

$y(0.8)=6.86m$

<u>the answer to (b) is 6.86m</u>

(c) At what horizontal distance from the edge does the diver strike the water?

To solve (c) we first need to know how long it took to reach the height of the water, that is, for what time y = 0

Using $y(t)=y_{0}-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

if $y(t)=0$

$0=10-\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\-10=-\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\20=gt^2\\\frac{20}{g}=t^2\\ \sqrt{\frac{20}{g}}=t$

and since $g=9.81m/s^2$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{20}{9.81} } =\sqrt{2.039}=1.43s$

At $t=1.43s$ the car hits the water, so the horizontal distance at that time is:

$x(t)=x_{0}+v_{0}t$

$x(1.43)=(2m/s)(1.43s)=2.86m$

<u>the answer to (c) is 2.86s</u>
