Two identical cars A and B are at rest on a loading dock with brakes released. Car C, of a slightly different style but of the s

ame weight, has been pushed by dockworkers and hits car B with a velocity of 1.5 m/s. Knowing that the coefficient of restitution is 0.8 between B and C, and it is 0.5 between A and B, determine the velocity of each car after all collisions have taken place

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity after first collision be v₁ and v₂ of car A and B . car A will bounce back .

velocity of approach = 1.5 - 0 = 1.5

velocity of separation = v₁ + v₂

coefficient of restitution = velocity of separation / velocity of approach

.8 = v₁ + v₂ / 1.5

v₁ + v₂ = 1.2

applying law of conservation of momentum

m x 1.5 + 0 = mv₂ - mv₁

1.5 = v₂ - v₁

adding two equation

2 v ₂= 2.7

v₂ = 1.35 m /s

v₁ = - .15 m / s

During second collision , B will collide with stationary A . Same process will apply in this case also. Let velocity of B and A after collision be v₃ and v₄.

For second collision ,

coefficient of restitution = velocity of separation / velocity of approach

.5 = v₃ + v₄ / 1.35

v₃ + v₄ = .675

applying law of conservation of momentum

m x 1.35 + 0 = mv₄ - mv₃

1.35 = v₄ - v₃

adding two equation

2 v ₄= 2.025

v₄ = 1.0125 m /s

v₃ = - 0 .3375  m / s

# 7 the answer is 4) because you need opposites in order to attract

# 8 I'm going to guess it is 4) because electricity is needed in order a light bolt to work.(don't take my word for this one I'm not sure but, the other answer are correct)

# 9  the answer is 4) because the comb dose collect negative charges from the hair in order to make the hair have positive charge.


Hope this helped : )

Your roommate leaves a 120W fan running in your apartment.Over the course of an hour,how much thermal energy does the fan add to
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

4.32\cdot 10^5 J

Explanation:

Power is related to energy by the following relationship:

P=\frac{E}{t}

where

P is the power used

E is the energy used

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we know that

- the power of the fan is P = 120 W

- the fan has been running for one hour, which corresponds to a time of

t = 1 h \cdot (60 min/h)(60 s/min)=3600 s

So we can re-arrange the previous equation to find E, the energy (in the form of thermal energy) released by the fan:

E=Pt=(120 W)(3600 s)=4.32\cdot 10^5 J
