Two objects, X and Y, are held at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface and a spring is compressed between them. The mass of

X is 2/5 times the mass of Y. Immediately after the spring is released, X has a kinetic energy of 50 J and Y has a kinetic energy of:

Answer:

20J

Explanation:

Using conservation law of momentum;

since the bodies were at rest, their initial momentum is zero

0 = M1Vx + M2Vy

- M1Vx = M2Vy where Vx is the final velocity of x after the spring has been release and Vy is final velocity of y and M1 and M2 are the masses of x and y

also M1 = 2/5 M2

substitute M1 into the the equation above

-2/5 M2Vx = M2Vy

cancel M2 on both side

-2/5Vx = Vy

comparing the kinetic energy of both x and y

for x K.E = 1/2 M1 Vx²

and y K.E = 1/2M2 Vy²

substitute for M1 = 2/5 M2

K.Ex = 1/2 × 2/5 M2 Vx²

divide K.Ex / K.Ey = (1/2 × 2/5 M2 Vx²) / 1/2 M2 Vy²

cancel the common terms

K.Ex / K.Ey = (2/5 Vx²) / Vy²

substitute -2/5Vx for Vy

(2/5 Vx²) / ( -2/5 Vx)² = (2/5 Vx²) / ( 4/25 Vx²)

cancel Vx²

(2/5) / (4/25) = 2/5 ÷ 4/25 = 2/5 × 25/4 = 5/2

the ratio of x and y kinetic energy is 5:2

since the kinetic energy of x is 50

50 : 20 = 5 : 2 if 10 is used to divide both sides

the kinetic energy of y = 20 J

A bar of length L = 8 ft and midpoint D is falling so that, when θ = 27°, ∣∣v→D∣∣=18.5 ft/s , and the vertical acceleration of p

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

alpha=53.56rad/s

a=5784rad/s^2

Explanation:

First of all, we have to compute the time in which point D has a velocity of v=23ft/s (v0=0ft/s)

$v=v_0+at\\\\t=\frac{v}{a}=\frac{(23\frac{ft}{s})}{32.17\frac{ft}{s^2}}=0.71s$

Now, we can calculate the angular acceleration (w0=0rad/s)

$\theta=\omega_0t +\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\alpha=\frac{2\theta}{t^2}$

$\alpha=\frac{27}{(0.71s)^2}=53.56\frac{rad}{s^2}$

with this value we can compute the angular velocity

$\omega=\omega_0+\alpha t\\\omega = (53.56\frac{rad}{s^2})(0.71s)=38.02\frac{rad}{s}$

and the tangential velocity of point B, and then the acceleration of point B:

$v_t=\omega r=(38.02\frac{rad}{s})(4)=152.11\frac{ft}{s}\\a_t=\frac{v_t^2}{r}=\frac{(152.11\frac{ft}{s})^2}{4ft}=5784\frac{rad}{s^2}$

hope this helps!!

Water (density = 1x10^3 kg/m^3) flows at 15.5 m/s through a pipe with radius 0.040 m. The pipe goes up to the second floor of th

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The speed of the water flow in the pipe on the second floor is approximately 13.1 meters per second.

Explanation:

By assuming that fluid is incompressible and there are no heat and work interaction through the line of current corresponding to the pipe, we can calculate the speed of the water floor in the pipe on the second floor by Bernoulli's Principle, whose model is:

$P_{1} + \frac{\rho\cdot v_{1}^{2}}{2}+\rho\cdot g\cdot z_{1} = P_{2} + \frac{\rho\cdot v_{2}^{2}}{2}+\rho\cdot g\cdot z_{2}$ (1)

Where:

$P_{1}$ , $P_{2}$ - Pressures of the water on the first and second floors, measured in pascals.

$\rho$ - Density of water, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Speed of the water on the first and second floors, measured in meters per second.

$z_{1}$ , $z_{2}$ - Heights of the water on the first and second floors, measured in meters.

Now we clear the final speed of the water flow:

$\frac{\rho\cdot v_{2}^{2}}{2} = P_{1}-P_{2}+\rho \cdot \left[\frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2}+g\cdot (z_{1}-z_{2}) \right]$

$\rho\cdot v_{2}^{2} = 2\cdot (P_{1}-P_{2})+\rho\cdot [v_{1}^{2}+2\cdot g\cdot (z_{1}-z_{2})]$

$v_{2}^{2}= \frac{2\cdot (P_{1}-P_{2})}{\rho}+v_{1}^{2}+2\cdot g\cdot (z_{1}-z_{2})$

$v_{2} = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot (P_{1}-P_{2})}{\rho}+v_{1}^{2}+2\cdot g\cdot (z_{1}-z_{2}) }$ (2)

If we know that $P_{1}-P_{2} = 0\,Pa$ , $\rho=1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $v_{1} = 15.5\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $z_{1}-z_{2} = -3.5\,m$ , then the speed of the water flow in the pipe on the second floor is:

$v_{2}=\sqrt{\left(15.5\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+2\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (-3.5\,m)}$

$v_{2} \approx 13.100\,\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of the water flow in the pipe on the second floor is approximately 13.1 meters per second.

What happens to gas that is not used

kvv77 [185]

the engine won't start or it sputters when it should be running perfectly. if the gasoline is old and stale, it will have lost a portion of its volatility. the lighter components of the gasoline (remember, gasoline is a mixture of different hydrocarbons) have probably evaporated off or disappeared.
