Let’s say I am in a bumper car and have a velocity of 14 m/s, driving in the positive x-direction. I and my bumped car have a ma

ss of 120 kg. You are in a bumper car, sitting still. I run into you, and we collide elastically. I end up with a velocity of 2 m/s going in the negative x-direction. What is your mass, and what is your final velocity?

Answer:

160 kg

12 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of first car = 120 kg

m_2 = Mass of second car

u_1 = Initial Velocity of first car = 14 m/s

u_2 = Initial Velocity of second car = 0 m/s

v_1 = Final Velocity of first car = -2 m/s

v_2 = Final Velocity of second car

For perfectly elastic collision

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}-m_{1}v_{1}\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=120\times 14+m_2\times 0-(120\times -2)\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=1920\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{1920}{v_2}

Applying in the next equation

v_2=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_{1}+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{2\times 120}{120+\frac{1920}{v_2}}\times 14+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}\times 0\\\Rightarrow \left(120+\frac{1920}{v_2}\right)v_2=3360\\\Rightarrow 120v_2+1920=3360\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{3360-1920}{120}\\\Rightarrow v_2=12\ m/s

m_2=\frac{1920}{v_2}\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{1920}{12}\\\Rightarrow m_2=160\ kg

Mass of second car = 160 kg

Velocity of second car = 12 m/s

Which has the greater acceleration, a person going from 0 m/s to 10 m/s in 10 seconds or an ant going from 0 m/s to 0.25 m/s in
monitta

<u>P</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>s</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>-</u><u>1</u>

  • Initial velocity=u=0m/s
  • Final velocity=v=10m/s
  • Time=10s=t

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{10-0}{10}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{10}{10}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=1m/s^2

<u>P</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>s</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>-</u><u>2</u>

  • initial velocity=0m/s=u
  • Final velocity=v=0.25m/s
  • Time=t=2s

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{0.25-0}{2}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{0.25}{2}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=0.125m/s^2

Person-1 is accelerating faster.

A tank has the shape of an inverted circular cone with height 16m and base radius 3m. The tank is filled with water to a height
rewona [7]

Answer:

W=17085KJ

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height H=16m

Radius R=3

Height of water H_w=9m

Gravity g=9.8m/s

Density of water \rho=1000kg/m^3

Generally the equation for Volume of water is mathematically given by

 dv=\pi*r^2dy

 dv=\frac{\piR^2}{H^2}(H-y)^2dy

Where

   y is a random height taken to define dv

Generally the equation for Work done to pump water is mathematically given by

 dw=(pdv)g (H-y)

Substituting dv

 dw=(p(=\frac{\piR^2}{H^2}(H-y)^2dy))g (H-y)

 dw=\frac{\rho*g*R^2}{H^2}(H-y)^3dy

Therefore

 W=\int dw

 W=\int(\frac{\rho*g*R^2}{H^2}(H-y)^3)dy

 W=\rho*g*R^2}{H^2}\int((H-y)^3)dy)

 W=\frac{1000*9.8*3.142*3^2}{9^2}[((9-y)^3)}^9_0

 W=3420.84*0.25[2401-65536]

 W=17084965.5J

 W=17085KJ

What is needed to create a magnetic field?
lara [203]

Explanation:

A magnetic field can be created by running electricity through a wire. All magnetic fields are created by moving charged particles. Even the magnet on your fridge is magnetic because it contains electrons that are constantly moving around inside
