Answer:

3.75 m/s south

Explanation:

A 1500 kg car traveling at 15 m/s to the south collides with a 4500 kg truck that is intially at rest at a spotlight. The car and the truck stick together and move together after the collison. Therefore, the final velocity of the two-vehicle mass is 3.75 m/s south.

Answer:

3.75 m/s south

Explanation:

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Since the car and truck stick together, v₁ = v₂.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v

Given m₁ = 1500 kg, u₁ = -15 m/s, m₂ = 4500 kg, and u₂ = 0 m/s:

(1500 kg) (-15 m/s) + (4500 kg) (0 m/s) = (1500 kg + 4500 kg) v

-22500 kg m/s = 6000 kg v

v = -3.75 m/s

The final velocity is 3.75 m/s to the south.

liq [111]

Answer:

Proof is given below

Explanation:

The length contraction is given by Δx = Δx' *√(1 - v² / c²)

where Δx' is the proper length and is measured in the frame where the object is at rest

Since the y' and z' axes are perpendicular to the direction of motion there is no contraction

So if you let V0 = Δy' * Δz' *Δx'

and V = Δy * Δz * Δx = Δy'* Δz' * Δx

Then

V = V0 * √(1 - v² / c²)

A small bulb is rated at 7.5 W when operated at 125 V. The tungsten filament has a temperature coefficient of resistivity α = 0.

alisha [4.7K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to resistance as a function of temperature, product of the relationship between the squared voltage and the power. Mathematically this is,

$R = \frac{v^2}{P}$

Here,

R = Resistance (At function of temperature)

v = Voltage

P = Power

Then we have,

R at 140°C (7 times room temperature),

$R(140\°C) = \frac{125^2}{7.5}$

$R(140\°C) = 2083.33\Omega$

The relationship between normal temperature and increased temperature would then be given by,

$R(140\°C) = R(20\°C)(1 +\alpha (\Delta T))$

$R(140\°C) = R(20\°C)(1+(4.5*10^{-3})(140-20))$

$R(20\°C) = \frac{2083.33}{1.54}$

$R(20\°C) = 1352.81\Omega$

Therefore the correct value of the group of answer is 1350

A particle is moving along a circular path of 2-m radius such that its position as a function of time is given by u = (5t 2) rad

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius of path $r=2\ m$

Velocity of Particle $\theta =5t^2 rad$

where t=time in seconds

angular velocity of particle is given by

$\omega =\frac{\mathrm{d} \theta }{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\omega =2\times 5t=10\cdot t$

And angular acceleration is given by

$\alpha =\frac{\mathrm{d} \omega }{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\alpha =10 rad/s^2$

tangential acceleration is $a_t=\alpha \times r$

$a_t=10\times 2=20\ m/s^2$

Centripetal acceleration $a_c=\omega ^2\times r$

$a_c=(10t)^2\times 2=200t^2$

net acceleration is sum of tangential and centripetal force at any time t is given by

$a_{net}=\sqrt{(a_c)^2+(a_t)^2}$

$a_{net}=\sqrt{(200t)^2+(20)^2}$

$a_{net}=20\sqrt{(10t)^2+1}\ m/s$
