Answer: 1.6m/s

Explanation:

M1 = 13500kg

U1 = 4.5m/s

M2 = 25000kg

U2 = 0m/s (since the body is at rest)

V = ? (Common velocity or velocity after impact)

M1U1 + M2U2 = (M1 + M2)V

But U2 = 0

M1U1 = (M1 + M2)V

13500 * 4.5 = (13500 + 25000)v

60750 = 38500v

V = 60750 / 38500 = 1.5779 = 1.6m/s

(a) Calculate the self-inductance (in mH) of a 55.0 cm long, 10.0 cm diameter solenoid having 1000 loops.
DedPeter [7]

Explanation:

(a) We have,

Length of solenoid, l = 55 cm = 0.55 m

Diameter of the solenoid, d = 10 cm

Radius, r = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Number of loops in the solenoid is 1000.

(a) The self inductance in the solenoid is given by :

L=\dfrac{\mu_o N^2A}{l}

A is area

L=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times (1000)^2\times \pi (0.05)^2}{0.55}\\\\L=0.0179\ H\\\\L=17.9\ mH

(b) The energy stored in the inductor is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.0179\times (19.5)^2\\\\E=3.4\ J

Hence, this is the required solution.

An electron with a speed of 0.95c is emitted by a supernova, where cc is the speed of light. What is the magnitude of the moment
krok68 [10]

Answer:

2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Momentum =?

Next, we shall determine the velocity of the electron. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of Light (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of electron = 0.95 × 3×10⁸

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Finally, we shall determine the mometum of the electron.

Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Thus, with the above formula, we calculate the momentum of the electron as follow:

Mass of electron = 9.1×10¯³¹ Kg

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Momentum of electron =?

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Momentum = 9.1×10¯³¹ × 2.85×10⁸

Momentum = 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Therefore, the momentum of the electron is 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=m₂ = m

m₃ = 2 m

Given that speed of the two pieces

u₁=- 25 j m/s

u₂ =- 25 i m/s

Lets take the speed of the third mass = v m/s

From linear momentum conservation

Pi= Pf

0 = m₁u₁+m₂u₂ + m₃ v

0 = -25 j m  - 25 i m + 2 m v

2 v=25 j   + 25 i m/s

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Therefore the speed of the third mass will be v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s
