A 1300 kg car traveling at 35 mph rear-ends a 1000 kg car traveling 25 mph. Just after the collision (but before the driver’s sl

ow down to pull over), the 1300 kg car is slowed to 30 mph and the 1000 kg car is sped up to 31.5 mph. Was momentum conserved in the collision? Was energy conserved in the collision? Show all work. If momentum or energy was lost, calculate how much and discuss where it could have gone.?

Answer

given,

before collision

mass of car A = m_a = 1300 kg

velocity of car A = v_a  = 35 mph

mass of car B = m_b= 1000 kg

velocity of car B = v_b  = 25 mph

after collision

V_a = 30 mph

V_b = 31.5 mph

Initial momentum

P_1 = m_av_a + m_b v_b

P_1 = 1300 \times 35+ 1000 \times 25

P_1 =70500 Kg.m/s

final momentum

P_2 = m_aV_a + m_b V_b

P_2 = 1300 \times 30+ 1000 \times 31.5

P_2 =70500 Kg.m/s

here  initial momentum is equal to the final momentum of the car.

hence, momentum is conserved in the collision.

The horse on a carousel is 3.5m from the central axis.A. If the carousel rotates at 0.13 rev/s , how long does it take the horse
Kitty [74]

Answer:

a. 15.4 seconds

b. 0.455 m/s

Explanation:

a. The carousel rotates at 0.13 rev/s.

This means that it takes the carousel 1 sec to make 0.13 of an entire revolution.

This means that time it will take to make a complete revolution is:

1 / 0.13 = 7.7 seconds

Therefore, the time it will take to make 2 revolutions is:

2 * 7.7 = 15.4 seconds

b. Let us calculate the linear velocity. Angular velocity is given as:

\omega = v / r

where v = linear velocity and r = radius

The radius of the circle is 3.5 m and the angular velocity is 0.13 rev/s, therefore:

0.13 = v / 3.5

v = 3.5 * 0.13 = 0.455 m/s

Linear velocity is 0.455 m/s

A 3-m-high, 7-m-wide rectangular gate is hinged at the top edge and is restrained by a fixed ridge. Determine the hydrostatic fo
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The Hydrostatic force is   F  =  137.2 kN

The location of pressure center is  Z  = 1.333 \ m  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height of the gate is  h =  3 \ m

     The weight of the gate is  w =  7 \  m

      The height of the water is  h_w  =  2 \ m

       The density of water is \rho_w  =  1000 \ kg/m^3

Note used h_w for height of water and height of gate immersed by water since both have the same value

The area of the gate immersed in water  is mathematically represented as

         A =  h_w  * w

substituting values

         A =  2*  7

         A =  14  \ m^2

The hydrostatic force is mathematically represented as

          F  =  \rho_w * g * h_f * A

Where

            h_f =h-  h_w

           h_f =3 -2

           h_f = 1\ m  

So  

              F  =  1000 * 9.8 * 1 * 14

            F  =  137.2 kN

The center of pressure is mathematically represented as

        Z  =  h_f + \frac{I_g}{h_f * A}

Where I_g is the moment of inertia of the gate which mathematically represented as

            I_g =  \frac{w * h_w^2}{12}

The h_w is the height of gate immersed in water

            I_g =  \frac{7  * 2^2 }{12}

             I_g = 4.667\ kg  m^2

Thus  

        Z  = 1  + \frac{4.66}{1 * 14}

        Z  = 1.333 \ m

What are the conditions of the thermonuclear fusion reaction in the sun?​
Verizon [17]

High temperature gives the hydrogen atoms enough energy to overcome the electrical repulsion between the protons. Fusion requires temperatures of about 100 million Kelvin (approximately six times hotter than the sun's core).
