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.

Answer:

0.07°C

Explanation:

<u>solution:</u>

the speed of a sound in water is<u>:</u>

v(T)=1480+4(T-4°C)

<u>at 4°C the travel time is:</u>

t(4◦C) = ( 7600 × 103 m ) / (1480 m/s) = 5202.7 s

<u>5°C, the travel time is:</u>

t(5◦C) = ( 7600 × 103 m ) / (1484 m/s) = 5188.7 s

<u>one degree C corresponds to a ∆t of 14 s so temperature difference is:</u>

ΔT=1 s/14 s=0.07◦C

Mary walked north from her home to Sheila's home, which is 4.0 kilometers away. Then she turned right and walked another 3.0 kil
bixtya [17]
The answer is speed: 4.7 km/h, velocity: 3.3 km/h.

Distances and time are given:
d1 =  4 km
d2 = 3 km
d3 = 5 km
t = 1.5 h

The speed can be expressed as a distance (d) divided by time (t). The average speed (s) is total distance travelled divided by time:
s = (d1 + d2)/t = (4+3)/1.5 = 7/1.5 = 4.7 km/h

The average velocity (v) is total displacement (d₁) from the starting point divided by time. Since Mary's starting point was home, and she walked to the supermarket, which is 5.0 kilometers from her own home, her displacement is 5 km:
v = d₁/t = 5/1.5 = 3.3 km/h

List 10 uses of metals​
algol [13]

Answer:

Shiny metals such as copper, silver, and gold are often used for decorative arts, jewelry, and coins.

Strong metals such as iron and metal alloys such as stainless steel are used to build structures, ships, and vehicles including cars, trains, and trucks.

Some metals have specific qualities that dictate their use. For example, copper is a good choice for wiring because it is particularly good at conducting electricity. Tungsten is used for the filaments of light bulbs because it glows white-hot without melting.

Nonmetals are plentiful and useful. These are among the most commonly used:

Oxygen, a gas, is absolutely essential to human life. Not only do we breathe it and use it for medical purposes, but we also use it as an important element in combustion.

Sulfur is valued for its medical properties and as an important ingredient in many chemical solutions. Sulfuric acid is an important tool for industry, used in batteries and manufacturing.

Chlorine is a powerful disinfectant. It is used to purify water for drinking and fill swimming pools.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Thomson's model showed an atom that had a positively charged medium, or space, with negatively charged electrons inside the medium. After its proposal, the model was called a "plum pudding" model because the positive medium was like a pudding, with electrons, or plums, inside.
