Answer:

1.53 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the car (M) = 1300 kg

Mass of the coal (m) = 400 kg

Initial velocity of the car (U) = 2 m/s

Initial velocity of the coal (u) = 0 m/s (Since it is dropped)

When the coal is dropped into the car, then they move with same final velocity.

Let the final velocity be 'v' m/s.

For a closed system, the law of conservation of momentum holds true.

So, initial momentum is equal to final momentum of the car-coal system.

Initial momentum of the car = MU=1300\times 2=2600\ Ns

Initial momentum of the coal = mu=0\ Ns

Total initial momentum is the sum of the above two momentums.

So, total initial momentum = 2600 + 0 = 2600 Ns

Now, final momentum is given as the product of combined mass and final velocity. So,

Final momentum of the system = (M+m)v=(1300+400)v=1700v

Now, from law of conservation of momentum,

Initial momentum = Final momentum

2600=1700v\\\\v=\frac{2600}{1700}\\\\v=1.53\ m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of either of the two masses is same is equal to 1.53 m/s.

The gravitational force,F, on a rocket at a distance,r, from the center of the earth isgiven byF=kr2wherek= 1013N·km2. (Newton·k
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The gravitational force changing velocity is

\frac{dF}{dt}=-8\frac{N}{s}

Explanation:

The expression for the gravitational force is

F=\frac{k}{r^{2}}\\\\k=10x10^{13} N*km^{2}\\\\r=10x10^{4} km\\\\V=0.4 \frac{km}{s}

Differentiate the above equation

\frac{dF}{dt}=\frac{k}{r^{2}}\\\frac{dF}{dt}=k*r^{-2}\\\frac{dF}{dt}=-2*k*r^{-3} \frac{dr}{dt}\\\frac{dF}{dt}=\frac{-2k}{r^{3}}\frac{dr}{dt}

The velocity is the distance in at time so

V=\frac{dr}{dt}=0.4 \frac{km}{s}

\frac{dF}{dt}=\frac{-2*k}{r^{3}}*0.4\\\frac{dF}{dt}=\frac{-8*10x^{13}N*km^{2} }{(10x10^{4}) ^{3}} \\\frac{dF}{dt}=\frac{-8x10^{12} }{1x10^{12}}

\frac{dF}{dt}=-8\frac{N}{s}

A small rock is thrown straight up with initial speed v0 from the edge of the roof of a building with height H. The rock travels
Crank

Answer:

v_{avg}=\dfrac{3gH+v_0^2}{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }

Explanation:

The average velocity is total displacement divided by time:

v_{avg} =\dfrac{D_{tot}}{t}

And in the case of vertical v_{avg}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{y_{tot}}{t}

where y_{tot} is the total vertical displacement of the rock.

The vertical displacement of the rock when it is thrown straight up from height H with initial velocity v_0 is given by:

y=H+v_0t-\dfrac{1}{2} gt^2

The time it takes for the rock to reach maximum height is when y'(t)=0, and it is

t=\frac{v_0}{g}

The vertical distance it would have traveled in that time is

y=H+v_0(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )-\dfrac{1}{2} g(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )^2

y_{max}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}

This is the maximum height the rock reaches, and after it has reached this height the rock the starts moving downwards and eventually reaches the ground. The distance it would have traveled then would be:

y_{down}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H

Therefore, the total displacement throughout the rock's journey is

y_{tot}=y_{max}+y_{down}

y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H

\boxed{y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{g}+H}

Now wee need to figure out the time of the journey.

We already know that the rock reaches the maximum height at

t=\dfrac{v_0}{g},

and it should take the rock the same amount of time to return to the roof, and it takes another t_0 to go from the roof of the building to the ground; therefore,

t_{tot}=2\dfrac{v_0}{g}+t_0

where t_0 is the time it takes the rock to go from the roof of the building to the ground, and it is given by

H=v_0t_0+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_0^2

we solve for t_0 using the quadratic formula and take the positive value to get:

t_0=\dfrac{-v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH}  }{g}

Therefore the total time is

t_{tot}= 2\dfrac{v_0}{g}+\dfrac{-v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH}  }{g}

\boxed{t_{tot}= \dfrac{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH}  }{g}}

Now the average velocity is

v_{avg}=\dfrac{y_{tot}}{t}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{\frac{2gH+v_0^2}{g}+H }{\frac{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g} }

\boxed{v_{avg}=\dfrac{3gH+v_0^2}{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} } }

Three sticks are arranged to form a right triangle. If the lengths of the three sticks are 0.47 m, 0.62 m and 0.78 m, what are t
Svetradugi [14.3K]

The angles in the triangle are 91 degrees, 53 degrees and 36 degrees respectively.

<h3>What is the cosine rule?</h3>

From the cosine rule we know that;

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2abcosC

Since;

a = 0.47 m

b =  0.62 m

c =  0.78 m

Then;

(0.78)^2 = (0.47)^2 + (0.62)^2 - 2(0.47 * 0.62)cosC

0.61 = 0.22 + 0.38 - 0.58 cosC

0.61 - ( 0.22 + 0.38) = - 0.58 cosC

0.01 = - 0.58 cosC

C = cos-1(0.01/-0.58)

C = 91 degrees

Using the sine rule;

b/Sin B = c/Sin C

0.62/sinB = 0.78/sin 91

0.62/Sin B = 0.78

B = sin-1 (0.62//0.78)

B = 53 degrees

Angle A is obtained from the sum of angles in a triangle;

180 - (91 + 53)

A = 36 degrees
