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.

Assume that Parker Company will receive SF200,000 in 360 days. Assume the following interest rates:
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

b.  $96,914

Explanation:

360-day borrowing rate = 5%

spot rate = 0.48

360-day deposit rate  = 6%

Borrow at the rate of 5% to get

SF200,000/1.05 = $190,476.19

Convert at the spot rate of $0.48 to get

190,476.19*0.48 = $91,428.57

Invest at the interest rate of 6% to get

91,428.57/1.06 = 96,914.28

Therefore, Parker Company will receive $96,914 in 360 days.

ou are sitting in your car at rest at a traffic light with a bicyclist at rest next to you in the adjoining bicycle lane. As soo
madam [21]

Till the time car is just adjacent to the bicycle we can say

distance moved by cycle = distance moved by car

Time taken by car to accelerate from rest

t = \frac{v_f - v_i}{a}

t = \frac{49 - 0}{7} = 7 s

Time taken by cycle to accelerate

t = \frac{23 - 0}{15} = 1.53 s

now the distance moved by cycle in time "t"

d = \frac{23 + 0}{2}*1.53 + 23(t - 1.53)

distance moved by car in same time

d = \frac{7t + 0}{2}(t)

now make them equal

3.5t^2 = 17.595 - 35.19 + 23t

3.5 t^2 - 23t + 17.595 = 0

t = 5.68 s

so cycle will move ahead of car for t = 5.68 s

STatiana [176]

Answer:

a = 0.55 m / s²

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is given by the relation

         a = v² / r

angular and linear velocities are related

         v = w r

we substitute

          a = w² r

In the exercise they indicate the angular velocity w = 1 rev/min, let's reduce to the SI system

          w = 1 rev / min (2pi rad / 1rev) (1min / 60s) = 0.105 rad/ s

let's calculate

          a = 0.105² 50.0

          a = 0.55 m / s²
