A moving small car has a head-on collision with a large stationary truck 7.3 times the mass of the car. Which statement is true

about the direction of the car after the collision if the collision is inelastic?
Physics

7 0

Answer:

The car would speed off 2x's as fast as the speed of the heavy truck provided the the collision is an elastic collision where there's no or little friction occurring within the scenario.

Explanation:

Newton's law proves that an object with a greater mass can move objects of lesser mass at greater distances and speed.

A 26.2-kg dog is running northward at 3.02 m/s, while a 5.30-kg cat is running eastward at 2.74 m/s. Their 65.1-kg owner has the
REY [17]

Answer:

Angle with the +x axis is θ = 79.599degree

Then the velocity of owner = 1.235m/s

Explanation:

Given that the mass of dog is m1 =26.2 kg

velocity of dog is u1 = 3.02 m/s (north)

mass of cat is m2 = 5.3 kg

velocity is u2 = 2.74 m/s (east )

Mass of owner is M = 65.1 kg

Consider the east direction along +x axis andnorth along +y

momentum of dog is Py = m1 x u1

= 79.124 kg.m/s (j)

momentum of cat is Px = m2 x u2

= 14.522 kg.m/s (i)

Then the net magnitude of momentum is P = (Px2 + Py2)1/2

= 80.445

Angle with the +x axis is θ =tan-1(Py / Px ) = 79.599 degree

Then the velocity of owner is v = P / M = 1.235 m/s

In a 49 s interval, 595 hailstones strike a glass window of an area of 0.954 m at an angle of 25° to the window surface. Each ha
eduard

Average  force on the window: 0.32 N

Explanation:

The average force exerted on the window is given by Newton's second law

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta p is the net change in momentum of the hailstones in a time interval of \Delta t

In order to find the change in momentum, we have to consider only the component of the hailstone's momentum perpendicular to the window, therefore:

p_i =m u sin \theta is the initial momentum of one hailstone, with

m = 7 g = 0.007 kg is the mass

u=4.5 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=25^{\circ} is the angle with the window

The final momentum is

p_f = mv sin \theta

where

v = 4.5 m/s is the final speed (the  collision is elastic so the speed is equal, while the direction changes)

\theta=-25^{\circ} (after the rebound, the direction has changed)

So the change in momentum of 1 hailstone is

\Delta p = mv sin(-25^{\circ})-mu sin(25^{\circ})=-2mu sin(25^{\circ})=-0.0266 kg m/s

We are interested only in the magnitude, so

\Delta p = 0.0266 kg m/s

There are 595 hailstones hitting the window in 49 s, so the total change in momentum is

\Delta p = 595\cdot 0.0266 = 15.8 kg m/s

And therefore, the average force on the window is

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{15.8}{49}=0.32 N

Questions:<br>(a) Why should the amplitude of oscillation be small on a pendulum experiment​
Snowcat [4.5K]
The formula for the pendulum experiment is based on the assumption that the amplitude is small so that the angle is approximately equal to the Sine of the angle.

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

1.29649

488.08706 nm

6.14644\times 10^{14}\ Hz

231715700.28346 m/s

Explanation:

n denotes refractive index

1 denotes air

2 denotes solution

\lambda_0 = 632.8 nm

From Snell's law we have the relation

n_1sin\theta_1=n_2sin\theta_2\\\Rightarrow n_2=\dfrac{n_1sin\theta_1}{sin\theta_2}\\\Rightarrow n_2=\dfrac{1\times sin33}{sin24.84}\\\Rightarrow n_2=1.29649

Refractive index of the solution is 1.29649

Wavelength is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_0}{n_2}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{632.8}{1.29649}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=488.08706\ nm

The wavelength of the solution is 488.08706 nm

Frequency is given by

f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{488.08706\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow f=6.14644\times 10^{14}\ Hz

The frequency is 6.14644\times 10^{14}\ Hz

v=\dfrac{c}{n_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{1.29469}\\\Rightarrow v=231715700.28346\ m/s

The speed in the solution is 231715700.28346 m/s
