A crane is used to swing a 450 kg wrecking ball into a 500 kg wall. The crane takes 5 s to push the ball into the building. The

crane provides 2000 N of force. The ball is left moving 10 m/s after the collision. How fast is the wall moving afterwards? *
How does the kinetic energy change in the crane problem?
1. KE increases
2. KE decreases
3. KE stays the same


What type of collision is this?
elasti
inelastic

This is a momentum problem, so let's find the velocity of the ball initially. It can be given by:
\vec{F} = m\vec{a}
Let's plug in values and solve for a:
\vec{a} = \frac{2000}{450} = 4.44 m/s^2
Now, we can multiply by time to get velocity:
\vec{v} = \vec{a}t = 4.44(5) = 22.2m/s

We have all the information we need, so let's set up an equation to solve for the velocity of the wall after the collision:
mv_{ib}= mv_{fb} + mv_{w}

Solve for velocity of wall finally:
v_w = \frac{mv_{ib}-mv_{fb}}{m}

Plug in all values:
v_w =  \frac{450(22.2)-450(10)}{500} = 10.98 \frac{m}{s}

So, the final velocity of the wall will be 10.98 m/s.
The KE in this problem initially was 110889 J (1/2mv^2). After the collision it was 52640.1 so, the KE decreased. 
Since there was no mashing of objects together, this was an elastic collision.

two porters are available to carry a long timber wood.out of them one is weak.how to do you make less load to the weak one? writ
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation.

Explanation:

Given that two porters are available to carry a long timber wood.out of them one is weak. how do you make less load to the weak one?

We can make the weak one to carry less load through two different ways or means.

First, if we can locate the centre of gravity and centre of mass of the long timbre wood, the week one can carry the other end away from the center of gravity and centre of mass.

Second, the strong porter can carry the long timbre wood almost to the fulcrum and allow the weak one to support at the other end. By doing this, the weak one will only carry light portion of the load.

A concave spherical mirror has a radius of curvature of magnitude 20.0 cm. (a) Find the location of the image for object distanc
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

The radius of curvature of the mirror R = 20 cm

then the focal length f = R/2 = 10 cm

(a) From mirror formula

 1/f = 1/di + /1do

then the image distance

    di = fd_o / d_o - f

  = (10)(40) / 40-10

 = 30.76 cm

since the image distance is positive so the image is real

ii) when the object distance d_0=20 cm

 di = 10×20/ 20-10

= 20

Hence, the image must be  real

iii)when the object distance d_0 = 10

di = 10×10 / 10-10 =  ∞ (infinite)

the image will be formed at ∞

here also image will be real but diminished.

At what depth of lake water is the pressure equal to 201kpa?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

20m

Explanation:

Pressure = pgh

p = density of water 1000

kg/m^3

g = acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/s^2

h is the depth of water

Pressure = 201 kPa = 201 x 10^3 Pa

201 x 10^3 = 1000 x 9.81 x h

201 x 10^3 = 9810h

h = 20.49 m

Approximately 20 m
