15) A 328-kg car moving at 19.1 m/s in the +x direction hits from behind a second car moving at 13 m/s in the same direction. If

the second car has a mass of 790 kg and a speed of 15.1 m/s right after the collision, what is the velocity of the first car after this sudden collision

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first car

M1= 328kg

The car is moving in positive direction of x axis with velocity

U1 = 19.1m/s

Velocity of second car

U2 = 13m/s, in the same direction as the first car..

Mass of second car

M2 = 790kg

Velocity of second car after collision

V2 = 15.1 m/s

Velocity of first car after collision

V1 =?

This is an elastic collision,

And using the conservation of momentum principle

Momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision

P(before) = P(after)

M1•U1 + M2•U2 = M1•V1 + M2•V2

328 × 19.1 + 790 × 13 = 328 × V1 + 790 × 15.1

16534.8 = 328•V1 + 11929

328•V1 = 16534.8—11929

328•V1 = 4605.8

V1 = 4605.8/328

V1 = 14.04 m/s

The velocity of the first car after collision is 14.04 m/s

Ronch [10]

Answer:

a. μ $_{95%} =$ 3 ± 1.8 = [1.2,4.8]

b. The correct answer is option D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

Explanation:

a. The population mean can be determined using a confidence interval which is made up of a point estimate from a given sample and the calculation error margin. Thus:

μ $_{95%} = x_$ ±(t*s)/sqrt(n)

where:

μ $_{95%} =$ = is the 95% confidence interval estimate

x_ = mean of the sample = 3

s = standard deviation of the sample = 5.8

n = size of the sample = 41

t = the t statistic for 95% confidence and 40 (n-1) degrees of freedom = 2.021

substituting all the variable, we have:

μ $_{95%} =$ 3 ± (2.021*5.8)/sqrt(41) = 3 ± 1.8 = [1.2,4.8]

b. The correct answer is option D. No, because the sample size is large enough.

Using the the Central Limit Theorem which states that regardless of the distribution shape of the underlying population, a sampling distribution of size which is ≥ 30 is normally distributed.

Katarina [22]

Answer:v=41.23 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of heavy object $m_1=52 kg$

distance of $m_1$ from the axle $r_1=14 cm$

mass of rock $m_2=123 gm$

Length of rod $=4.1 m$

distance of $m_2$ from axle $r_2=4.1-0.14=3.96 m$

Net torque acting is

$T_{net}=m_1gr_1-m_2gr_2$

$T_{net}=52\times 0.14\times g-0.123\times 3.96\times g$

$T_{net}=6.793\times 9.8$

$T_{net}=66.57 N-m$

Work done by $T_{net}$ is converted to rock kinetic Energy

thus

$T_{net}\times \theta =\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Where $\theta =angle\ turned =\frac{\pi }{2}$

$v= velocity\ at\ launch$

$66.57\times \frac{\pi }{2}=\frac{0.123\times v^2}{2}$

$v^2=66.57\times \pi$

$v=\sqrt{1700.511}$

$v=41.23 m/s$
