Two identical trucks have mass 5500 kg when empty, and the maximum permissible load for each is 8000 kg. The first truck, carryi

ng a 3900 kg, is at rest. The second truck plows into it at 64 km/h, and the pair moves away at 44 km/h. As an expert witnes, you're asked to determine whether the second truck was overloaded. What do you report? Yes the truck is overloaded, or no, the truck is not overloaded?

Answer:

no, the truck is not overloaded

Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

Let us assume the mass of the loan in the second truck be M

So, the equation is as follows

{(Mass + M) × second truck × 1000 ÷ 3,600} = {(Mass + M + mass + first truck) × Pair moves away × 1,000 ÷ 3,600}

{(5500 + M) × 64 × 1,000 ÷ 3,600 = {(5,500 + M + 5,500 + 3,900) × 44 × 1,000 ÷ 3,600}

(5500 + M) × 64 = (14,900 + M) × 44

352,000 + 64 M = 655,600 + 44 M

After solving this

M = 15,180 kg

Therefore the second truck is not overloaded

A 0.40 kg object is attached to a spring with force constant 157 N/m so that the object is allowed to move on a horizontal frict

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Part a)

$F = 26.7 N$

Part b)

$a = 66.7 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

Force on the object due to spring force is given as

$F = kx$

here we know that

$k = 157 N/m$

$x = 0.17 m$

so we have

$F = 157\times 0.17$

$F = 26.7 N$

Part b)

Acceleration of the object is given as

$a = \frac{F}{m}$

$a = \frac{26.7}{0.40}$

$a = 66.7 m/s^2$

A bat at rest sends out ultrasonic sound waves at 46.2 kHz and receives them returned from an object moving directly away from i

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

f" = 40779.61 Hz

Explanation:

From the question, we see that the bat is the source of the sound wave and is initially at rest and the object is in motion as the observer, thus;

from the Doppler effect equation, we can calculate the initial observed frequency as:

f' = f(1 - (v_o/v))

We are given;

f = 46.2 kHz = 46200 Hz

v_o = 21.8 m/s

v is speed of sound = 343 m/s

Thus;

f' = 46200(1 - (21/343))

f' = 43371.4285 Hz

In the second stage, we see that the bat is now a stationary observer while the object is now the moving source;

Thus, from doppler effect again but this time with the source going away from the obsever, the new observed frequency is;

f" = f'/(1 + (v_o/v))

f" = 43371.4285/(1 + (21.8/343))

f" = 40779.61 Hz

A beam of alpha particles ( q = +2e, mass = 6.64 x 10-27 kg) is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 1.8 kV.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The magnetic field required required for the beam not to be deflected is $B = 0.0036T$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The charge on the particle is $q = +2e$

The mass of the particle is $m = 6.64 *10^{-27} kg$

The potential difference is $V_a = 1.8 kV = 1.8 *10^{3} V$

The potential difference between the two parallel plate is $V_b = 120 V$

The separation between the plate is $d = 8 mm = \frac{8}{1000} = 8*10^{-3}m$

The Kinetic energy experienced by the beam before entering the region of the parallel plate is equivalent to the potential energy of the beam after the region having a potential difference of 1.8kV

$KE_b = PE_b$

Generelly

$KE_b = \frac{1}{2} m v^2$

And $PE_b = q V_a$

Equating this two formulas

$\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = q V_a$

making v the subject

$v = \sqrt{\frac{q V_a}{2 m} }$

Substituting value

$v = \sqrt{\frac{ 2* 1.602 *10^{-19} * 1.8 *10^{3}}{2 * 6.64 *10^{-27}} }$

$v = 41.65*10^4 m/s$

Generally the electric field between the plates is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{V_b}{d}$

Substituting value

$E = \frac{120}{8*10^{-3}}$

$E = 15 *10^3 NC^{-1}$

the magnetic field is mathematically evaluate

$B = \frac{E}{v}$

$B = \frac{15 *10^{3}}{41.65 *10^4}$

$B = 0.0036T$

I don't know if you need to complete this question or do it otherwise, however, I managed to find on the Internet on several places this completion of your sentence:
<span>Electric current flows through a long rod generating thermal energy at a uniform volumetric rate of q = 2 x 10</span>⁶ W/m³.
I'm not sure whether that is the answer you were looking for, but that's what I found.
