A car has 400 kgm/s worth of momentum and runs into a truck initially at rest. What is the initial momentum of the truck?

Answer:

0 kgm/s

Explanation:

The momentum is the product of mass(m) and velocity(v).

Initially the velocity of truck is 0 m/s so the product of mass and velocity becomes 0.

It does not matter what is the weight of truck, because the velocity will make the product of m*v = 0

It does not matter what is the momentum of car.

What is inertia? That is all but I need 20 characters to ask lol

damaskus [11]

Inertia, property of a body by virtue of which it opposes any agency that attempts to put it in motion or, if it is moving, to change the magnitude or direction of its velocity. Inertia is a passive property and does not enable a body to do anything except oppose such active agents as forces and torques.

A motorcyclist heading east through a small town accelerate at constant 4.0meter per seconds square after he leaves the limits.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

A) The position at t = 2.0 sec is 43.0 m east

B) The position is 55 m east

Explanation:

A)

In order to solve the problem, we take the east direction as positive direction.

We know that:

- at t = 0, the motorcyclist is at a position of $x_0 = 5.0 m$

- at t = 0, the initial velocity of the motorcyclist is $v_0 = 15.0 m$ east

- The acceleration of the motorcyclist is constant and it is $a=4.0 m/s^2$

Since the motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, the position of the motorcylist is given by the expression

$x(t)=x_0 + v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

where t is the time.

Substituting t = 2.0 s, we find the position:

$x(2.0)=(5.0)+(15)(2.0)+\frac{1}{2}(4.0)(2.0)^2=43 m$

B)

The velocity of the motoryclist can be found by calculating the derivative of the position. Therefore, it is:

$v(t)=x'(t)=v_0 + at$

where:

$v_0=15.0 m/s$ is the initial velocity

$a=4.0 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

We want to find the time t at which the velocity is

v = 25 m/s

Solving the equation for t,

$t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}=\frac{25-15}{4}=2.5 s$

And therefore, the position at t = 2.5 s is:

$x(2.5s)=5.0+(15.0)(2.5)+\frac{1}{2}(4)(2.5)^2=55 m$

A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.08 m3 of nitrogen gas at 150 kPa and 200°C. The nitrogen is now expanded to a pres

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

$V_2 = 0.125 m^3$

Work done = = 5 kJ

Explanation:

Given data:

volume of nitrogen $v_1 = 0.08 m^3$

$P_1 = 150 kPa$

$T_1 = 200 degree celcius = 473 Kelvin$

$P_2 = 80 kPa$

Polytropic exponent n = 1.4

$\frac{T_2}{T_1} = [\frac{P_2}{P_1}]^{\frac{n-1}{n}$

putting all value

$\frac{T_2}{473} = [\frac{80}{150}]^{\frac{1.4-1}{1.4}$

$\frac{T_2} = 395.23 K = 122.08 DEGREE \ CELCIUS$

polytropic process is given as

$P_1 V_1^n = P_2 V_2^n$

$150\times 0.08^{1.4} = 80 \times V_2^{1.4}$

$V_2 = 0.125 m^3$

work done $= \frac{P_1 V_1 -P_2 V_2}{n-1}$

$= \frac{150 \times 0.8 - 80 \times 0.125}{1.4-1}$

= 5 kJ
