A 2000 kg truck traveling north at 34 km/h turns east and accelerates to 58 km/h. (a) What is the change in the truck's kinetic

barxatty [35]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the truck, m = 2000 kg

Initial velocity of the truck, u = 34 km/h = 9.44 m/s

Final velocity of the truck, v = 58 km/h = 16.11 m/s

(a) Change in truck's kinetic energy, $\Delta E=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)$

$\Delta E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2000\ kg\times (16.11^2-9.44^2)$

$\Delta E=170418.5\ J$

$\Delta E=1.7\times 10^5\ J$

(b) Change in momentum of the truck, $\Delta p=m(v-u)$

$\Delta p=2000\ kg\times (16.11-9.44)$

$\Delta p=13340\ kg-m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

An ice sled powered by a rocket engine starts from rest on a large frozen lake and accelerates at 12.8 m/s2 . At t1 the rocket e

Simora [160]

Answer:4.39 s

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity $u=0$

acceleration $a=12.8 m/s^2$

velocity acquired by sled in $t_1$ time

$v=0+at$

$v=12.8t_1$

distance traveled by sled in $t_1 s$

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$(12.8t_1)^2-0=2\times 12.8\times s_1$

$s_1=6.4\cdot t_1^2$

distance traveled in $t_2$ time with velocity $v=12.8t_1$

$s_2=v\times t_2$

$s_2=12.8\times t_1\times t_2$

$s_2=12.8\cdot t_1\cdot t_2$

$s_1+s_2=5.37\times 10^3$

$6.4t_1^2+12.8t_1t_2=5370$ ----1

$t_1+t_2=97.7 s$

$t_2=97.7-t_1$

substitute the value of $t_2$ in 1

we get

$6.4t_1^2-1250.56t_1+5370=0$

thus $t_1=\frac{1250.56-1194.33}{12.8}=4.39 s$

$t_1=4.39 s$

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.
Below is the solution:

centripetal accel = 1.5*g
ω²r = 1.5*9.8m/s²
ω² * 8m = 14.7 m/s²
ω = 1.36 rad/s * 1rev/2πrads * 60s/min = 12.9 rpm

A mass attached to a spring is displaced from its equilibrium position by 5cm and released. The system then oscillates in simple

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

C) 1 s

Explanation:

The period of a mass-spring system is given by the formula:

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

where

m is the mass hanging on the spring

k is the spring constant

As we can see from the equation above, the period of the system does NOT depend on the initial amplitude of the oscillation. Therefore, even if the initial amplitude is changed from 5 cm to 10 cm, the period of the system will remain the same, 1 s.

A 0.05-kg car starts from rest at a height of 0.95 m. Assuming no friction, what is the kinetic energy of the car when it reache

prohojiy [21]

Considering conservation of mechanical energy we have:
K+U (start)= K+U (end)
Where:
K=kinetic energy= $\frac{1}{2}m v^{2}$
U=potential energy= $mgh$
So:
0.05*0.95*9.81+0 (start) = 0+K (end)
K (end)=0.5 Joules
