<u>Answer:</u> The mass of the second car is 12666.7 kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the mass of car, we use the equation of law of conservation of momentum, which is:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v

where,

m_1 = mass of car 1 = 9500 kg

u_1 = Initial velocity of car 1 = 14 m/s

m_2 = mass of car 2 = ? kg

u_2 = Initial velocity of car 2 = 0 m/s

v = Final velocity = 6.0 m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

(9500\times 14)+(m_2\times 0)=(9500+m_2)6.0\\\\m_2=\frac{9500\times 14}{6}-9500=12666.7kg

Hence, the mass of the second car is 12666.7 kg

When a block of ice at zero degrees Celsius melts, the ice A) absorbs energy from its environment. B) releases energy to its env
Mariulka [41]

Answer: Option (E) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Latent heat is defined as the amount of heat required by per mole of a substance in order to change its state.  

And, latent heat of freezing (fusion) is defined as the energy required for the phase change between a liquid and a solid without any change in their temperature.

Therefore, at zero degrees Celsius energy absorbed by the ice will be consumed in breaking the bond between the water molecules held together in the solid state.

Thus, we can conclude that when a block of ice at zero degrees Celsius melts, the ice absorbs energy but does not change its temperature.

A coil of wire with 50 turns lies in the plane of the page and has an initial area of 0.180 m2. The coil is now stretched to hav
butalik [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns of coil

N = 50 turns

Initial area of plane

A1 = 0.18 m²

The coil it stretch to a no area in time t = 0.1s

No area implies that the final area is 0, A2 = 0 m²

Constant magnetic field strength

B = 1.51 T

EMF?

EMF is given as

Using far away Lenz law

ε = —N• dΦ/dt

Where Φ = BA

Then,

ε = —N• d(BA)/dt

Since B is constant,

ε = —N•B dA/dt

ε = —N•B (∆A/∆t)

ε = —N•B(A2—A1)/(t2-t1)

ε = —50 × 1.51 (0—0.18)/(0.1—0)

ε =—75.5 × —0.18 / 0.1

ε = 135.9 V

The induced EMF is 135.9V

Fleming’s left hand rule stated that if the index finger points toward magnetic flux, the thumb towards the motion of the conductor, then the middle finger points towards the induced emf.

Since the area lines in the plane, then the induced emf will be out of the page
