Zielflug [23.3K]3 years ago

Answer:

  • The initial speed of the truck is 21.93 m/s, and the initial speed of the car is 19.524 m/s  

Explanation:

We can use conservation of momentum to find the initial velocities.

Taking the unit vector \hat{i} pointing north and \hat{j} pointing east, the final velocity will be

\vec{V}_f = 16.0 \frac{m}{s} \ ( \ cos(24.0 \°) \ , \ sin (24.0 \°) \ )

\vec{V}_f = ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )

The final linear momentum will be:

\vec{P}_f = (m_{car}+ m_{truck}) * V_f

\vec{P}_f = (950 \ kg \ + 1900 \ kg \ ) *  ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )

\vec{P}_f = (2.850 \ kg \ ) *  ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )

\vec{P}_f = ( \ 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} \ , \ 18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ )

As there are not external forces, the total linear momentum must be constant.

So:

\vec{P}_0= \vec{P}_f

As initially the car is travelling east, and the truck is travelling north, the initial linear momentum must be

\vec{P}_0= ( m_{truck} * v_{truck}, m_{car}* v_{car} ) 

so:

 \vec{P}_0= \vec{P}_f 

( m_{truck} * v_{truck}, m_{car}* v_{car} ) = ( \ 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} \ , \ 18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ )  

so

\left \{ {{m_{truck} \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}  } \atop {m_{car} \ v_{car}=18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} }} \right.

So, for the truck

m_{truck} \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}

1900 \ kg \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}

v_{truck} = \frac{41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}}{1900 \ kg}

v_{truck} = \frac{41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}}{1900 \ kg}

v_{truck} = 21.93 \frac{m}{s}

And, for the car

950 \ kg \ v_{car}=18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s}

v_{car}=\frac{18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s}}{950 \ kg}

v_{car}=19.524 \frac{m}{s}

A 26 foot ladder is lowered down a vertical wall at a rate of 3 feet per minute. The base of the ladder is sliding away from the
lakkis [162]

Answer:

(i) 7.2 feet per minute.

(ii) No, the rate would be different.

(iii) The rate would be always positive.

(iv) the resultant change would be constant.

(v) 0 feet per min

Explanation:

Let the length of ladder is l, x be the height of the top of the ladder from the ground and y be the length of the bottom of the ladder from the wall,

By making the diagram of this situation,

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

l^2 = x^2 + y^2-----(1)

Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),

0=2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}  ( l = 26 feet = constant )

\implies 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = -2x\frac{dx}{dt}

\implies \frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{x}{y}\frac{dx}{dt}

We have,

y = 10, \frac{dx}{dt}= -3\text{ feet per min}

\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3x}{10}-----(X)

(i) From equation (1),

26^2 = x^2 + 10^2

676=x^2 + 100

576 = x^2

\implies x = 24\text{ feet}

From equation (X),

\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3\times 24}{10}=7.2\text{ feet per min}

(ii) From equation (X),

\frac{dy}{dt}\propto x

Thus, for different value of x the value of \frac{dy}{dt} would be different.

(iii) Since, distance = Positive number,

So, the value of y will always a positive number.

Thus, from equation (X),

The rate would always be a positive.

(iv) The length of the ladder is constant, so, the resultant change would be constant.

i.e. x = increases ⇒ y = decreases

y = decreases ⇒ y = increases

(v) if ladder hit the ground x = 0,

So, from equation (X),

\frac{dy}{dt}=0\text{ feet per min}

A student throws a 120 g snowball at 7.5 m/s at the side of the schoolhouse, where it hits and sticks. What is the magnitude of
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The magnitude of the average force on the wall during the collision is 6 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of snowball, m = 120 g = 0.12 kg

velocity of the snowball, v = 7.5 m/s

duration of the collision between the snowball and the wall, t = 0.15 s

Magnitude of the average force can be calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

where;

a is acceleration = v / t

a = 7.5 / 0.15

a = 50 m/s²

F = ma

F = 0.12 x 50

F = 6 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the average force on the wall during the collision is 6 N.

A student has a thin copper beaker containing 100 g of a pure metal in the solid state. The metal is at 215°C, its exact melting
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The metal will melt but their will be no change in temperature.

Explanation:

The metal is at its melting temperature which means it is still in solid phase but have to cross the enthalpy of its condensation at this same temperature to convert into liquid phase.

<u>On supplying heat, the metal's temperature will not change as the heat will be required as enthalpy of condensation to melt the solid to liquid at the melting temperature.</u>
