A toy car having mass m = 1.10 kg collides inelastically with a toy train of mass M = 3.55 kg. Before the collision, the toy tra

in is moving in the positive x-direction with a velocity of Vi = 2.20 m/s and the toy car is also moving in the positive x-direction with a velocity of vi = 4.95 m/s. Immediately after the collision, the toy car is observed moving in the positive x-direction with a velocity of 1.80 m/s.

Answer:

V_{ft}= 317 cm/s

ΔK = 2.45 J

Explanation:

a) Using the law of the conservation of the linear momentum:

P_i = P_f

Where:

P_i=M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it}

P_f = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}

Now:

M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it} = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}

Where M_c is the mass of the car, V_{ic} is the initial velocity of the car, M_t is the mass of train, V_{fc} is the final velocity of the car and V_{ft} is the final velocity of the train.

Replacing data:

(1.1 kg)(4.95 m/s) + (3.55 kg)(2.2 m/s) = (1.1 kg)(1.8 m/s) + (3.55 kg)V_{ft}

Solving for V_{ft}:

V_{ft}= 3.17 m/s

Changed to cm/s, we get:

V_{ft}= 3.17*100 = 317 cm/s

b) The kinetic energy K is calculated as:

K = \frac{1}{2}MV^2

where M is the mass and V is the velocity.

So, the initial K is:

K_i = \frac{1}{2}M_cV_{ic}^2+\frac{1}{2}M_tV_{it}^2

K_i = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(4.95)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(2.2)^2

K_i = 22.06 J

And the final K is:

K_f = \frac{1}{2}M_cV_{fc}^2+\frac{1}{2}M_tV_{ft}^2

K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(1.8)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(3.17)^2

K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(1.8)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(3.17)^2

K_f = 19.61 J

Finally, the change in the total kinetic energy is:

ΔK = Kf - Ki = 22.06 - 19.61 = 2.45 J

If you can swim in still water at 0.5m/s, the shortest time it would take you to swim from bank to bank across a 20m wide river,
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

t=40s,

Explanation:

If you can swim in still water at 0.5m/s, the shortest time it would take you to swim from bank to bank across a 20m wide river, if the water flows downstream at a rate of 1.5m/s, is most nearly:

from the question the swimmer will have a velocity which is equal to the sum of the speed of the water and the velocity to swi across the bank

Vt=v1+v2

the time is takes to swim across the bank will be

DY=Dv*t

DY=distance across the bank

Dv=ther velocity of the swimmer across the bank

t=20/ 0.5m/s,

t=40s, time it takes to swim across the bank

velocity is the rate of displacement

displacement is distance covered in a specific direction

When using a calorimeter, the initial temperature of a metal is 70.4C. The initial temperature of the water is 23.6C. At the end
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

1) 29.8 C

At the beginning, the metal is at higher temperature (70.4 C) while the water is at lower temperature (23.6 C). When they are put in contact, the metal transfers heat to the water, until they reach thermal equilibrium: at thermal equilibrium the two objects (the metal and the water have same temperature). Therefore, since the temperature of the water at thermal equilibrium is 29.8 C, the final temperature of the metal must be the same (29.8 C).

2) 6.2 C

The temperature change of the water is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:

\Delta T = T_f - T_i

where

T_f = 29.8 C\\T_i = 23.6 C

Substituting into the formula,

\Delta T=29.8 C-23.6 C=6.2 C

And the positive sign means that the temperature of the water has increased.

3) -40.6 C

The temperature change of the metal is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:

\Delta T = T_f - T_i

where

T_f = 29.8 C\\T_i = 70.4 C

Substituting into the formula,

\Delta T=29.8 C-70.4 C=-40.6 C

And the negative sign means the temperature of the metal has decreased.
