Answer:

The heavier piece acquired 2800J of energy.

Explanation:

Let the velocity of the first piece be v1 and that of the second piece be v1 and also let the masses be m1 and m2 respectively.

m2 = 2m1

From the principles of conservation of momentum

m1v1 = m2v2

m1v1 = 2m1v2

Dividing through by m1

That is v1 = 2v2

v2 = 1/2v1

Total kinetic energy = 8400J

1/2m1v1² + 1/2m2v2² = 8400

1/2m1v1² + 1/2(2m1) × (1/2v1)² = 8400

1/2m1v1² + 1/4m1v1² = 8400

Let 1/2m1v1 = K1

K1 + 1/2K1 = 8400

3/2K1 = 8400

K1 = 8400× 2/3 = 5600J

K2 = 8400 – 5600 = 2800J

Answer:

The heavier piece acquired 2800 J  kinetic energy

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum:

0 = M₁v₁ - M₂v₂

M₁v₁ = M₂v₂

let the second piece be the heavier mass, then

M₁v₁ = (2M₁)v₂

v₁  = 2v₂ and v₂ = ¹/₂ v₁

From the principle of conservation of kinetic energy:

¹/₂ K.E₁ + ¹/₂ K.E₂ = 8400 J

¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₂ (2M₁)(¹/₂v₁)² = 8400

¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₄M₁(v₁)² = 8400

K.E₁ + ¹/₂K.E₁ = 8400

Now, we determine K.E₁ and note that K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁

1.5 K.E₁ = 8400

K.E₁ = 8400/1.5

K.E₁ = 5600 J

K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁ = 0.5*5600 J = 2800 J

Therefore, the heavier piece acquired 2800 J  kinetic energy

50g of ice at 0°C is mixed with 50g of water at 80°C, what will be the final temperature of a mixture in
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

0° C

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of ice, m = 50g

Mass of water, m(w) = 50g

Temperature of ice, T(i) = 0° C

Temperature of water, T(w) = 80° C

Also, it is known that

Specific heat of water, c = 1 cal/g/°C

Latent heat of ice, L(w) = 89 cal/g

Let us assume T to be the final temperature of mixture.

This makes the energy balance equation:

Heat gained by ice to change itself into water + heat gained by melted ice(water) to raise its temperature at T° C = heat lost by water to reach at T° C

m(i).L(i) + m(i).c(w)[T - 0] = m(w).c(w)[80 - T], on substituting, we have

50 * 80 + 50 * 1(T - 0) = 50 * 1(80 - T)

4000 + 50T = 4000 - 50T

0 = 100 T

T = 0° C

Thus, the final temperature is 0° C

at certain times the demand for electric energy is low and electric energy is used to pump water to a reservoir 45 m above the g
Readme [11.4K]

The mass of water that must be raised is 5.25\cdot 10^7 kg

Explanation:

Since the process is 70% efficiency, the power in output to the turbine can be written as

P_{out} = 0.70 P_{in}

where P_{in} is the power in input.

The power in input can be written as

P_{in} = \frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work done in lifting the water

t = 3 h = 10,800 s is the time elapsed

The work done in lifting the water is given by

W=mgh

where

m is the mass of water

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h = 45 m is the height at which the water is lifted

Combining the three equations together, we get:

P_{out} = 0.70 \frac{mgh}{t}

Where

P_{out} = 150 MW = 150\cdot 10^6 W

And solving for m, we find:

m=\frac{Pt}{0.70gh}=\frac{(1.50\cdot 10^6)(10800)}{(0.70)(9.8)(45)}=5.25\cdot 10^7 kg

a cart's initial velocity is +3.0 meters per second. What is its final velocity after accelerating at a rate of 1.5m/s2 for 8.0
Andreas93 [3]

The final velocity is +15.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the cart is a uniformly accelerated motion (=at constant acceleration), therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the velocity at time t

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the cart in this problem, we have:

u = +3.0 m/s (initial velocity)

a=1.5 m/s^2 (acceleration)

t = 8.0 s (time)

Substituting, we find the final velocity:

v=3.0+(1.5)(8.0)=+15.0 m/s
